This is the last time that John Barry's original Dr. No (1962) arrangement of the James Bond Theme would be used onscreen. It would however, continue to be used in trailers etc. as late as Licence to Kill (1989).

Goofs
When Bond is first summoned from the dinner to meet with Blofeld in his office, Gruther assists him in putting on his overcoat. Bond puts both arms in the sleeves but when he arrives at the office he is wearing the coat draped over his shoulders as can clearly be seen as Grunther slips it off.

Faq
Q
Is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" based on a book?
A
Most of the James Bond movies are based, in some part, upon novels by British author Ian Fleming [1908-1964]. On Her Majestey's Secret Service is based on Fleming's 1963 novel of the same name. It was adapted for the screen by American screenwriter Richard Maibaum.
Q
How many James Bond movies did George Lazenby make?
A
Her Majesty's Secret Service is the only James Bond movie featuring George Lazenby as Bond. However, Lazenby did play 'JB' in a short scene in The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Fifteen Years Later Affair (1983).
Q
Why did Draco send his men to attack Tracy in the opening sequence?
A
There are two schools of thought about this: (1) Draco was attempting to see whether or not Bond could adequately protect Tracy, and (2) Draco's thugs were following Tracy and attempted to ward off Bond's help to protect her from strangers. In the novel, Bond and Tracy had already met before Tracy tries to commit suicide, so those who commit to option (1) are correct. However, based on just the movie, James had never before met Tracy, so option (2) is also correct.
