Timothy Dalton stated in an interview about why his Bond was a much darker, grittier incarnation. It was because he wanted to go back to the Ian Fleming novels, and capture the essence and the spirit of the character Ian Fleming created.
In an interview during filming in September 1988, Timothy Dalton denied media claims that his Bond was not allowed to have as much sex, due to the A.I.D.S. epidemic at the time. However, in a 2007 interview, he admitted that this was true.
It is widely and incorrectly rumored that this was Timothy Dalton's last James Bond film due it being financially disappointing. In reality, Dalton was to star in a third James Bond film after this one, titled "Property of a Lady", written by Michael G. Wilson and Alfonse Ruggiero and set to start shooting in 1990, with pre-production work having begun in May of that year. However legal issues with MGM beginning that year created long delays which eventually led Dalton to announce his retirement from the role in 1994, a year after his initial contract expired, paving the way for Pierce Brosnan's casting in GoldenEye (1995). Had the film been made, it would have been set in Scotland, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, and would have involved nanotechnology. While no director was ever officially attached, John Landis, Ted Kotcheff and John Byrum were all under consideration.
Robert Davi was taken by several thugs, while on vacation in South America, to an actual drug lord. The man enjoyed his portrayal of a drug lord.
Of all of the Bond films, this one has the largest role for Desmond Llewelyn as Q.
"[Sanchez is about to kill James] Franz Sanchez: You could have had everything. James Bond: Don't you want to know why? [Shows Sanchez Felix's lighter, then sets Sanchez on fire]"
"[M confronts Bond in Key West at the Hemingway House] M: You were supposed to be in Istanbul LAST NIGHT! I'm afraid this unfortunate Leiter business has [beat] M: clouded your judgment! *You have a job to do*! I expect you on a plane this afternoon! James Bond: I haven't finished here, sir. M: Leave it to the Americans! It's their mess. Let them clear it up. James Bond: SIR! They're not going to DO ANYTHING! James Bond: [calms down] I owe it to Leiter. He's put his life on the line for me many times. M: Oh SPARE ME this sentimental RUBBISH! He knew the risks. James Bond: And his WIFE? M: This private vendetta of yours could easily compromise Her Majesty's government. You have an assignment, and I expect you to carry it out *objectively* and *professionally*! James Bond: Then you have my resignation, sir! M: [incensed] We're not a country club, 007! [pause] M: Effective immediately, your licence to kill is revoked, and I require you to hand over your weapon. Now. I need hardly remind you that you're still bound by the Official Secrets Act. James Bond: I guess it's, uh... a farewell to arms."
