Trivia

The film saved United Artists from financial ruin. At the time of the film's release, the studio was still reeling from Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate, a notorious $40,000,000 bomb that was about to force UA to file bankruptcy. When this film took in a worldwide gross of $194,900,000, the studio was saved and afterwards turned its focus toward blockbusters and less on personal films. See more »

Goofs

Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the car chase, Bond says "Take the low road." Melina's car gets flipped over, with Bond and Melina inside, Bond says something like "not THAT low." However, his mouth keeps moving as if he is saying something else, but no words are coming out. See more »

Quotes

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.
