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 the other incidence in the series of the next
film being announced in error, see Octopussy. See more »
