TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Bond's jetpack was actually flown by engineer Bill Suiter. He was one of only two people in the world qualified to fly it.

In the underwater scenes, where Bond encounters sharks, Sir Sean Connery was supposed to be protected by clear plastic panels shielding him from sharks in close-ups. However, the panels only extended about three feet in height and sharks could swim over them. As a result, in some scenes (notably during the pool fight at Largo's mansion), Connery got much closer to the real sharks than he wanted. Director Terence Young said in an interview that scenes used in this movie where Bond reacts in fright at the approach of a shark were miscues, in which Connery was reacting with genuine terror as a shark approached unobstructed by plastic shielding.

The only Bond movie where we get a glimpse of all 00 Agents in one shot. They are summoned to M's briefing, and 007 is the last to join in. He sits down in the only available chair, the seventh from the left. Only one of the other 00's is revealed, however, as they are filmed from behind.

This was the most popular Bond movie, with paying audiences racking up 140 million ticket sales. Goldfinger (1964), with 130 million ticket sales, ranks number two in popularity.

Sir Sean Connery performed the gun-barrel sequence for the first time because of the new Panavision process used in the movie. Beginning with this movie, the sequence would be performed by the actor playing Bond in the movie.

Popular Dialogues
