Goofs:
Continuity: When Bond puts the oxygen tank into the turbine, the bottom part of the tank is the part that gets jammed in the fan blade. Notice that the paint is not damaged very much. When Zorin pulls the oxygen tank out of the turbine, the center of the oxygen tank is where it has been cut, and the paint is also badly damaged. more

After reading several not very flattering opinions of this film, I thought it right to add my own opinion to this film. I'd like to discuss a couple of points mentioned in previous comments.
1) Roger's age - I know Roger was in his late 50's when this movie was made but I don't think it really affects the flow of the film. I actually think this is one of Roger's better films.
2). One of the worst bond films of all time - Lot's of comments refer to this movie as being Roger's worst and possibly one of the worst Bond movies of all time. For me the movie has all the essential bond elements a sexy bond girl, a great theme song, terrific bad guy (Christopher Walken) and Roger on top form. The humour is there throughout the film and it just feels like a bond film. Compare this to 'for your eyes only' which never felt like a bond film to me. I feel it is certainly worthy of a much higher rating than 6.0.
