* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Bond defeats the Mantis sub henchman by forcefully entangling him in the ''St. Georges''' wreckage, gaining time to escape. However, the mook is clearly seen dislodging itself right after and watching Bond's Neptune escape, and yet he doesn't give chase, even although the Mantis has proved to be much faster and still has its drill arm presumably functional. The henchman and his sub are never seen again.

* AdaptationAmalgamation: Many scenes and other story elements were lifted from Ian Fleming's short stories or unused sequences in previously adapted novels, however the overall story arc that links them together was created for the film. The Havelocks and the sequence at the villa were adapted from the eponymous "For Your Eyes Only" short story; Kristatos, Columbo, Lisl, and much of the midsection of the film were taken from "Risico"; the identigraph was taken from ''Literature/{{Goldfinger}}''; and the scene in which Bond and Melina were dragged underwater as shark bait was originally the climax from ''Literature/LiveAndLetDie''[[note]]Which also, arguably, inspired the scene where Bond cold-bloodedly but entirely [[KickTheSonOfABitch justifiably]] kicks a henchman to his death[[/note]]. The sunken spy ship and the quest to recover its top secret ATAC transmitter were original creations.

** NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Despite the looks and even calling her husband "Denis", in the credits is only "The Prime Minister".


Added DiffLines:

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The Prime Minister is obviously intended to be the then-incumbent British PM UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher, played by renowned Thacher impressionist Janet Brown, with the looks, the voice, and even calls her husband "Denis", but is never referred to by name and is credited only as "The Prime Minister" .
