    • Trivia
      It took crocodile wrangler and stuntman Ross Kananga (the villain in the movie was named after him) 6 takes to complete the scene were he doubles for Sir Roger Moore when Bond flees the bad guys by running across the backs of 3 crocodiles in a swamp. Kananga received $60,000 for the stunt, filmed at Swamp Safaris, his 350 acres of mangrove swamp on Jamaica's north coast, where he kept a herd of over 1000 crocodiles. In a 1973 interview, he explained; "something like that is almost impossible to do. So, I had to do it six times before I got it right. I fell five times. The film company kept sending to London for more clothes. The crocs were chewing off everything when I hit the water, including shoes. I received one hundred ninety-three stitches on my leg and face."

      In order for Tee Hee to be able to break the gun, he would need to have quite a bit of strength in both his claw and his real hand equally, otherwise the gun would just slip out of his hand when he tried to bend it.

      If there were enough strength within Tee-Hee's claw to crimp the gun hard enough, he would not need an equal amount of strength in his own organic hand for it to bend.
    • Quotes

      Sheriff J.W. Pepper: There's that son of a bitch. I got him.

      [to Bond]

      Sheriff J.W. Pepper: What are you? Some kinda doomsday machine, boy? Well, *we* got a cage strong enough to hold an animal like you here!

      Felix Leiter: Captain, would you enlighten the Sheriff, please?

      State Trooper: Yessir. J.W., let me have a word with ya. J.W., now, this fellow's from London, England. He's a Englishman workin' in cooperation with our boys, a sorta... secret agent.

      Sheriff J.W. Pepper: Secret agent? On whose side?

    • Alternate versions
      In the chase scene where Sheriff J.W. Pepper passes a slow-moving truck and shouts "Did you ever think of getting a driver's license, boy?", some TV versions have the line replaced with "Why don't you build a fence around it?".

    One of the very best!

    This Bond outing is one of the very best in the franchise. Bedides having one of the best Bond theme songs in the franchise written and performed by Paul McCartney and Wings, Live and Let Die boasts an array of interesting characters, played by some of the famous actors of the Era (Yaphet Koto, Jane Seymour, David Hedison, Jeffrey Holder and of course in the role he made his own, Roger Moore) . I enjoyed seeing New York City in the gritty early 70s. For a Bond movie, this one had an interesting story which is easy to follow and wildly entertaining. The best is that you need to be a bond fan to enjoy Live and Let Die.
