to:

* Chasing Scarmanga, Bond races into a nearby rental car office and steals an AMC Hornet. It's only after he crashes it through the shop window that he realizes the other passenger is none other than Sheriff J.W. Pepper from ''Film/LiveAndLetDie''!
-->'''Pepper''': I know you!
-->''Bond''': Oh, no...
-->'''Pepper''': You're that [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment English secret agent from England!]]
** Pepper's reactions through the chase are a sight to behold as he gets into it before realizing how crazy it is.

-->I had a rather large room with a ceiling fan - there was no air conditioning - and, down a step, was what they laughingly called a bathroom. The tiny room boasted a sink that was about six inches wide, a square with a hole in the centre, which was a toilet, above that was a shower and next to it was a bucket, which you filled with water to flush the toilet. I joked to Cubby that I could squat over the hole, clean my teeth, take a shower and shave all at the same time.///

After a few minutes of her trying and failing to get it right, the model gave Binder the brush and told him to fix the hair to how he needed it; as Binder recalls it, he was not about to pass up that opportunity.

!!The Novel

to:

\n* Bond turns around in the boxing match to find Nick Nack pointing a gun at him and eating peanuts.
-->A gun in a bag of peanuts, how original. What will they think of next?
* From Creator/RogerMoore's autobiography:
** Herve Villechaize tried to hit on Maud Adams in the least subtle way imaginable:]
-->'''Herve''': Tonight, Maud, I am going to come into your room, climb under your sheets and make wild passionate love to you.
-->'''Maud''': Yes. And if I find out you have, I'm going to be ''very'' angry.
** While filming a scene with Britt Ekland in Hong Kong, hundreds of onlookers came and started taking pictures. Britt said, "Oh, I do like being a film star". Moore laughed, then quipped, "They're here to see Maud and Herve, now behave yourself".
** "Just before leaving Hong Kong for a new location in Bangok, [[Creator/AlbertRBroccoli Cubby]] called me in the hotel, sounding very excited. He'd found a fantastic tailor who'd made him a number of suits in twenty-four hours for a very good price. He wore one of the suits to the airport and as he was walking up the steps of the plane, the trousers split in two. Needless to say, he ribbed mercilessly".
** On his hotel room in Pang Na, Phuket:
-->I had a rather large room with a ceiling fan - there was no air conditioning - and, down a step, was what they laughingly called a bathroom. The tiny room boasted a sink that was about six inches wide, a square with a hole in the centre, which was a toilet, above that was a shower and next to it was a bucket, which you filled with water to flush the toilet. I joked to Cubby that I could squat over the hole, clean my teeth, take a shower and shave all at the same time.///
"That's nothing", he said. "I can do all that and shove a broom up my ass to sweep the room clean, too".
** For the scene in Beirut, which was the final scene filmed, Moore wore a nice silk suit that he was looking forward to stealing at the end of shooting. He noticed Cubby at the top of a ladder...[[DoomedNewClothes and he promptly dropped a can of paste on it]].
** While filming a scene with Creator/ChristopherLee, Moore noticed a cave full of bats. Moore couldn't resist making an ActorAllusion - "[[Film/Dracula1958 Master, they are yours to command]]". [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Fortunately, Lee saw the funny side]].
