Trivia

Ian Fleming was so disappointed with the 'Spy Who Loved Me' novel that he would not allow the publisher to print the book in paperback. It was not until Fleming's death that the book became widely available. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: On Major Anya Amasova's shoulder rank boards there is a star and a single red stripe in the middle. The rank board of a Soviet Army Major is supposed to have a star between two stripes running along the length of the board. See more »
