TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The film is split into 13 chapters, each with a title that is a James Bond reference or pun. The titles are: You Only Live Once, The Road to Pussy Galore, Try Another Day, For Her Eyes Only, From Australia with Love, The Guy Who Loved Me, Single Oh Seven, The Man with the Golden Tongue, Unlicensed to Kill, Tomorrow Sometimes Dies, Shaken Not Deterred, The World is Never Enough, and Decisions are Forever.

George Lazenby made only one Bond movie (despite being offered a seven-movie contract) He made two appearances as James Bond. 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' (1969) was the first. The second was in The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Fifteen Years Later Affair (1983), where he helps Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin in a street fight from his car. Admittedly, he is uncredited as James Bond (in favor of an abbreviation J.B.), but his performance is so obviously Bond-ish that it's impossible for him not to be James Bond. All the elements are there, a tuxedo, Walther PPK, cool clipped persona, and Aston Martin (only the girl is missing).

The Entertainment Weekly cover shown in the film featuring George Lazenby as James Bond is fictitious. Entertainment Weekly wasn't published until 1990. The cover was a series of special covers Entertainment Weekly released in 2006 to coincide with the then upcoming release of Casino Royale (2006). EW depicted each actor as Bond on an EW cover had they been around long enough to cover all the Bonds.

Cast member Jane Seymour, who played Maggie, was a Bond girl in Live and Let Die (1973) with Roger Moore as 007.

George Lazenby became the movie star who never was. With him not returning as James Bond after 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' (1969), his career didn't gain much momentum after its filming.

Popular Dialogues

"Himself - James Bond: It's very hard for people to understand, but living life on your own terms, in your own way, you feel like it's much fuller. The best thing you can do is know yourself, and feel yourself, and be yourself. Yeah, I may not be great, but I'm an original."

"Himself - James Bond: There was a guy who was a photographer, Charles Jenkins. He walks in one day and we're looking at this particular Mercedes, and he says... Charles Jenkins: Look, I'll tell you what. I'll buy this off you if you let me take some pictures of you. Himself - James Bond: And I thought, "hellooo, I've got a homosexual on my hands.""
