Although only appearing briefly, this movie is Dolph Lundgren's first on-screen role, playing General Gogol's K.G.B. bodyguard Venz. He landed the position, because he was dating Grace Jones at the time of the filming, and was conveniently on-set when Director John Glen realized he quickly needed someone to fill in as a simple gun-wielding bodyguard.

Goofs
When Bond is talking to Dr. Mortner, the same clip of Bond using the "ring camera" to take a picture is re-used from earlier. You can tell because Bond is not holding a champagne glass at the time he takes the picture, but there is a champagne glass in his hand in the shot. See more »

Crazy Credits

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.
