Goofs

Revealing mistakes: There's a scene in the phone booth area, where Jaws supposedly bites a man to death. If you look closely, Jaws does not even bite the man. He makes the motion like he's about to bite him, but the man faints before he gets the chance. He doesn't break skin or draw blood or anything. Yet, the man dies from being "bitten" by Jaws.

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 »
