Trivia
Sir Roger Moore was 57 at the time of this film's release, making him the oldest actor to play James Bond, tied with David Niven in Casino Royale (1967). Moore was also the second-oldest, as he was 55 when Octopussy (1983) was released. The third-oldest are Moore, Sir Sean Connery, and Daniel Craig, who were all 53 when For Your Eyes Only (1981), Never Say Never Again (1983), and No Time to Die (2021) were released, respectively.

Goofs
As Bond and Stacey are climbing up the elevator shaft, the cables burn through and the elevator falls down the shaft. Elevators have braking systems that prevent them falling even in the event of loss of their supporting cables.

Quotes
[the morning after Bond sleeps with May Day]
Max Zorin: You slept well?
James Bond: A little restless but I got off eventually.

Crazy credits
Opening credits disclaimer "Neither the name 'Zorin' nor any other name or character in this film is meant to portray a real company or actual person" appears right before the gunbarrel opening sequence. It was added after producers discovered a real company run by a person named "Zoran."

Alternate versions
A deleted scene presented on the DVD shows Bond being bailed out of a Paris jail by M following his taxi chase of May Day. The scene shows Bond collecting his personal effects, including the wristwatch with garrote wire from From Russia with Love (1963), an ink pen filled with acid, and a cigarette lighter that's a flame thrower.

Has all the elements of a decent Bond

James Bond sets out to stop a psychopathic business man and a successful horse breeder. Stars Roger Moore and Christopher Walken.

Moore was clearly too old for this role but the film has all the elements of a great Bond film. An excellent villain in Walken, a dastardly plot, beautiful girls and amazing locations.

A lot of fun. Grace Jones is a great henchman.
