    Nancy's theme is one of the most beautiful!
    And Binders titles are cool!

    Roald Dahl did the screenplay, but I think the majority of the ideas came from Harold Jack Bloom!

    The guy spying on Bonds burial at sea, looks like James Joyce!

    M looks great in his naval uniform rather than a stuffy suit!

    Sumo!
    Watched a documentary about Sumo one time, quite fascinating. Apparently the majority of them speak hoarsely as the opening salvo when they charge at each other damages their wind pipes!

    Charles Gray!
    When actor Jan Werich had to drop out as Blofeld due to illness, little did Cubby and Harry know that they already had an actor who could play him!! 😂

    Why didn't Lazenbys Bond use this handy little safe cracker gadget instead of the big cumbersome case in OHMSS?

    "In Japan Men always come first, women come second!" I bet future tapes of YOLT will have that line censored!!

    They put Osatos office back together after Bonds fight. Even repairing the statue which 007 smashed over his head!

    Bonds gun is showing up in the Xray! Is this where Danny Kleinman got the idea for the titles in TND?

    Apparently the Bond production team had these meetings where anyone could throw in an idea, and someone suggested a car being picked up by a magnet, and Cubby went lets do it!

    The Kobi docks sequence! One of my favourites in the film! Wonderful aerial shots!

    The legendary Bob Simmons did the high dive doubling for Connery, apparently ripping his trousers and revealing red underpants, the crew thought he damaged himself and was bleeding!

    Why did Bond not notice Miss Brandt had a parachute and goggles on her when flying the plane? She was obviously going to bail out!!

    Little Nellie! I have the model of it with Bond in it, but the front wheel broke off, must grt around to fixing it! Was going to buy a new one, but most of the models don't have the Bond figure in it!

    Apparently it was Ken Adams idea to paint Little Nellie yellow and black to make it look like a wasp!!

    The villains helicopters appearing first as shadows was improved by aerial photographer Johnny Jordan. Alas poor Jordan had his foot sliced by one of the helicopters and had to have it amputated. He never stopped working, though, and went on to shoot aerial footage for Cubbys 'Chitty Chitty, Ban Bang' movie!
  • QBranchQBranch Always have an escape plan. Mine is watching James Bond films.

    The opening spacecraft reminds me of those pencils where the lead is gripped at the front!
    That's fun, I had one of those at school. The hijacked craft reminded me of a sauce bottle lid!

    The Russian guy doing the countdown would later appear in the sitcom 'Allo, Allo' as a German!!
    Who is the blonde guy who looks like Charles Dance, his face seems familiar?

    Ken Adams amazing Volcano set!
    When one United Artist executive visited the launch of the set, he stated "You know this set cost more than the entire budget of 'Dr. No'?"
