Storyline

After disposing of a familiar looking face, Bond is sent to recover a communication device, known as an ATAC, which went down with a British Spy ship as it sunk. Bond must hurry though, as the Russians are also out for this device. On his travels, he also meets Melina Havelock, whose parents were brutally murdered. Bond also encounters both Aristotle Kristatos and Milos Colombo. Each of them are accusing the other of having links with with the Russian's. Bond must team up with Melina, solve who the true ally is and find the ATAC before it's too late. Written by simon

Trivia

The previous Bond film, Moonraker, was a huge financial success but fans and critics complained that the series had become too focused on wild gadgets, outlandish plots, over-the-top villains and screwball comedy. As a result, producers decided to return to a more realistic storyline in For Your Eyes Only, using previous Bond films From Russia with Love and On Her Majesty's Secret Service as models. Therefore, FYEO contains many story elements similar to those films; the ATAC is similar to the Lektor, Kriegler is similar to Grant, Columbo is similar to Kerim Bey and the winter sports sequences are similar to those in OHMSS.

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When James Bond and Melina are walking in the streets, some salesman hands them two figs to eat, and Bond says "Parakalo" (which means please or you're welcome) before receiving the figs. He says it after the man gives it to him, which should be followed by him saying "Efharisto" (thank you). The only reason it would make sense for Bond to say "Parakalo" afterwards is if he said it to Melina as a way of inviting her to try a fig, but he says it directly to the salesman. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Vicar: Mr. Bond, Mr. Bond. I'm so glad I caught you. Your office called. They're sending a helicopter to pick you up. Some sort of emergency.
James Bond: It usually is. Thank you.
