    • Trivia
      Bond's jetpack was actually flown by engineer Bill Suiter. He was one of only two people in the world qualified to fly it.
    • Goofs
      Apparently some of the locals wanted to celebrate their moment in a Bond movie, because during the chase through the Junkanoo parade, James passes a parade group, all of whom are wearing large yellow "007" headdresses.
    • Quotes

      Fiona: [after Bond finds her in the bathtub in his hotel room] Since you're here, would you mind giving me something to put on?

      [Bond casually hands Fiona her shoes]

    • Crazy credits
      The opening titles is a sequence of female divers underwater.
    • Alternate versions
      The first VHS release in Germany (from 1983) was cut to secure a "Not under 12" rating. The scene where Bond kills Vargas omits the brief shot showing the latter being perforated by the harpoon arrow (the previous shot showing Bond firing the harpoon was intact). Subsequent releases until 1991 were cut even more (the fight with Bouvar, the death of Quist, the pool fight, the underwater battle, the boat fight). Since then, the film has been released uncut on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray.

    An Enjoyable Film from an Equally Enjoyable Series
    Two nuclear warheads are stolen from a British Vulcan by the secret criminal organization known as SPECTRE. With only a small time to meet the blackmail demands the British send James Bond (Sean Connery) to the Bahamas to try to find the warheads and the people responsible. Anyway, what I liked about this film was that it had just about all of the ingredients that have made this series so entertaining. It has action, suspense, sly humor, innovative gadgets and a bevy of beautiful women to include Claudine Auger (as "Domino) who won the title of "Ms. France" in 1958, Luciana Paluzzi as the evil assassin named "Fiona", Molly Peters as the attractive masseuse named "Patricia" and Martine Beswick ("Paula") who played the role of one of the gypsy women in the James Bond film "From Russia with Love" in 1963. It even won an Academy Award for special effects. Along with that, I especially liked the underwater battle between the frogmen at the end of the film. In short, I thought that this was an enjoyable film in an equally enjoyable series. Definitely recommended for all fans of James Bond.
