Trivia:

The boat chase was not originally intended to be part of the opening sequence but test audiences indicated that the jump out of the window opener was not exciting enough. As such, the boat chase was brought forward and had to be shortened. As it is now, the Bilbao - Mi6 HQ - Boat Chase opener is still the longest pre-credits sequence ever in a James Bond movie.
