Storyline

James Bond has one more mission. Bond returns from his travels in the USSR with a computer chip. This chip is capable of withstanding a nuclear electromagnetic pulse that would otherwise destroy a normal chip. The chip was created by Zorin Industries, and Bond heads off to investigate its owner, Max Zorin. Zorin may only seem like a innocent guilty man, but is really planning to set off an earthquake in San Andreas which will wipe out all of Silicon Valley. As well as Zorin, Bond must also tackle May Day and equally menacing companion of Zorin, whilst dragging Stacy Sutton along for the ride. Written by simon

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Bond is cooking for Ms. Sutton, Bond incorrectly equates his quiche with an omelet. A quiche is a baked custard-like egg dish made from eggs and milk or cream, and is filled into a pastry shell. An omelet is beaten eggs cooked quickly in butter or oil and filled with various ingredients, so a quiche and an omelet are not the same. See more »
