| In 1977, Thunderball script co-author Kevin McClory won a lawsuit involving the use of the SPECTRE name and concept. This is why SPECTRE was never used in a Bond movie after Diamonds are Forever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ian Fleming dubbed his literary hero "with the most plain sounding name I could find", James Bond. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prior to Dr. No's release, the film's distributors were quoted as saying "All we have to lose is $1 million"! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ursula Andress won the part of Honey Rider after producers Saltzman and Brocoli saw a photo of Ms. Andress in a wet t-shirt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After appearing in Goldfinger, Harold Sakata took his character's name, Oddjob, as a nickname. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following lines were written by 17th century Japanese poet Bassho: You only live twice: Once when you're born, And once when you look death in the face. Fleming, impressed with this simple, yet thought provoking verse, titled his 12th novel You Only Live Twice. The novel would eventually become the fifth Bond epic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mechanical hook worn by Julius W. Harris in Live and Let Die was controlled by the actor's breathing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Never throughout Roger Moore's tenure as Bond is he actually seen ordering a "martini, shaken not stirred". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the filming of For Your Eyes Only,an unusually warm winter forced Brocoli to import snow to Italy. No less than 45 trips were made to Cortina. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "M" does not appear in For Your Eyes Only as a tribute to Bernard Lee, who had recently died of cancer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Faye Dunaway was considered for the role of Octopussy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only Oscar winner to play a Bond villian is Christopher Walken (best supporting actor, "The Deer Hunter", 1979). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Dalton did almost all of his own stunts, including the scene in The Living Daylights in which Bond and Kara escape a doomed plane by riding out of the back hatch in a Jeep. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Spain, the title for Dr. No is "Agent 007 vs. The Satanic Dr. No". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The German title for The Living Daylights is "The Skin of a Corpse". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fight aboard the Disco Volante in Thunderball, took two weeks to plan and choreograph. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A View to a Kill's original screenplay had Zorin manipulating the course of Halley's comet to cause world wide destruction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An early script for Diamonds are Forever had 007 facing Goldfinger's brother (Gert Frobe was approached to play the part) until it was agreed that Blofeld would be a better villian considering the events in OHMSS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Moore was originally considered for the part of 007 for Dr. No in 1962. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The soundstage used for the filming of the interior of the Liparus tanker in The Spy Who Loved Me, is the largest in the world. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
