** ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'':
*** Several nods to Creator/DavidLean's ''Film/LawrenceOfArabia''. Subtle at first with the desert attire donned by Bond and an homage later with the iconic theme of Music/MauriceJarre playing while Bond and Anya wander through the desert after the van breaks down.
*** A music box in the film briefly plays "Lara's Theme" from ''Film/DoctorZhivago'', another magnus opus from Creator/DavidLean / Maurice Jarre.
*** General Gogol (and his successor General Pushkin in ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'') are [[FamousNamedForeigner named after two of the most famous writers]] of 19th Century Russian Literature.
** ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'':
*** Opening an electronic lock creates musical tones from ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind''.
*** Also, Bond's gaucho ride is scored by ''[[Film/TheMagnificentSeven1960 The Magnificent Seven]]'' theme.
*** Jaws jumping from one cable car to another is inspired by a similar scene from ''Film/WhereEaglesDare''.
** ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'':
*** [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Bond bursting through spider's webs]].
*** [[Film/TheAfricanQueen Bond gets covered with leeches]].
*** [[Film/{{Alien}} One mook gets Octopussy's pet namesake wrapped around his face]].
*** Orlov's death was an {{Homage}} to the ending of ''Film/VonRyansExpress''.
** ''Film/AViewToAKill'':
*** At the Ascot derby, Moneypenny yells [[Theatre/MyFairLady "Move your arse!"]] at her losing horse.
** ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'':
*** Pushkin, like his predecessor Gogol, was named after a famous 19th Century Russian novelist.
*** Two to ''Film/TheThirdMan'' (on which Creator/JohnGlen had worked as assistant sound editor), also set in Vienna: Bond and Kara ride on the Ferris wheel in the Prater, and just before, Necros (posing as a balloon salesman) asks Bond "Ballon, mein Herr?", words spoken by an insistent elderly man to Sgt Paine in the older film. Sgt Paine is played by none other than Creator/BernardLee, the original M.
** ''Film/LicenceToKill'':
*** Bond is taken to ''Hemingway'' House to turn in his licence and his weapon. He comments that it's "[[Literature/AFarewellToArms a farewell to arms]]". Subtle...
*** Pam's liking for .25 Berettas, Bond's WeaponOfChoice in the novels before he was forced to change to the Walther PPK.
*** The climax features Bond climbing over, under, on top of and inside multiple moving trucks. Which [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk other famous action hero]] could ''that'' be referencing?
*** [[https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/interview-robert-davi-melbourne-1 According to Robert Davi]], the name "Franz Sanchez" is an ''extremely'' subtle shout-out to Music/FrankSinatra: five-letter first name, seven-letter last name, initials F.S.
