Trivia

Pierce Brosnan disliked the gadgets and overblown effects of this film. He suggested to the producers that the series go back to its more low key, darker roots. Ironically, after Brosnan left, the producers next Bond film was the low key and darker Casino Royale.

Goofs

When Bond returns to the Ice Palace (after stealing the land speed vehicle) he gets back into to his car. When he approaches the car, just before entering, he hides behind it. However, this would be pointless, as the cameras on his side of the car would project the image of him onto the opposite side, as the car is in 'stealth mode'. Which means any guards who looked would clearly see 007 squatting in the snow.

Lighting equipment is reflected in the land-speed-record car before Bond pitches it over the ice cliff. Suspended vertically on the ice cliff, the camera and the back soundstage wall are visible, likewise reflected in its screen.

After the fencing dual with Graves, Bond gets a package. The hotel employee calls him Commander Bond instead of Mr. Bond indicating that the employee is either in the British Secret Service as well or knows that Bond is an agent.

Quotes

James Bond: You must be joking.

Reporter: Are you going to try out for the British fencing team? We hear you have been training furiously. Graves: I never get furious. As we say in fencing, "What's the point?'

Patient: What the hell do you want? I don't need a goddamn wheelchair. James Bond: No?

Q

Is the US-Version uncut?

A

No. To obtain a PG-13 rating the sex scene between Bond and Jinx had to be cut slightly. The censored version was shown in cinemas and has been released at least on the first DVD. If you want to find out whether your US-version is uncut or not, check out the following comparison between the cut PG-13-version and the uncut verion: Klick It says that the scene was "too much" for American audiences.
