    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      A representative from the Egyptian government was on-set throughout the shoot in Cairo and Giza, to make sure that the country was not portrayed in an unflattering light. For that reason, when the scaffolding collapses on Jaws, and Bond quips "Egyptian builders", Sir Roger Moore merely mouthed the line, dubbing it in later. It went unnoticed by the official Egyptian minder, and ironically, got a great laugh from Egyptian audiences.
    • Goofs
      For some reason the wet-bike is brought into the Captain's quarters for assembly. Nobody in their right mind would do this. It'd be assembled outside of the submarine since trying to carry it fully assembled throughout the sub would be virtually impossible.
    • Quotes
      • [last lines]
      • [Bond and Anya are discovered making love]
      • M: 007!
      • General Anatol Gogol: XXX!
      • Sir Frederick Gray, Minister of Defence: Bond! What do you think you're doing?
      • James Bond: Keeping the British end up, sir.
    • Crazy credits
      "THE END of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME JAMES BOND will return in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY" - though in fact the next film in the series was switched to Moonraker in light of the success of sci-fi movie Star Wars. Thus Moonraker went unannounced and For Your Eyes Only was promised twice. For other examples of the next film being announced in error, see Goldfinger, Thunderball, and Octopussy.
    • Alternate versions
      The 1992 RCA Videodisc version of the film fades before the credits end, omitting the title card that tells us that Bond will return in "For Your Eyes Only".

    FAQ13

    • How does the fish get in the car?
    • Who was the female silhouette dancer (or model for its animation) during the opening theme song?
    • At the end of the film, text appears that says, "Roger Moore returns as Bond in: For Your Eyes Only". However, the next film is "Moonraker". Why does the text here deviate from the film order?
