For the fight scene in the bicycle shop, the producers had to call in Jackie Chan's stunt team because none of the stuntmen wanted to do the scene with Michelle Yeoh due to her full contact stunt fighting style, which she perfected in Hong Kong action films.
Sir Anthony Hopkins was cast as Elliot Carver, and joined the production, but walked after three days because it was so chaotic, and there was no completed shooting script; due to the pressure on EON Productions to finish the movie on time, new pages of the screenplay were being delivered every morning. He opted to appear in The Mask of Zorro (1998) instead.
Just before shooting the scene where James Bond and Wai Lin get on the motorcycle, director Roger Spottiswoode took Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh aside, each without the other's knowledge, and told each of them not to let the other get in the driver's seat. The result is in the final movie: Bond and Wai Lin fight over who gets to drive before getting on the bike.
Ricky Jay (Henry Gupta) is also an acclaimed magician, who holds a world record for the fastest throwing playing cards. The producers initially wanted a scene where he threw playing cards at James Bond (Pierce Brosnan). They set up the scene to block, Ricky was fifty or seventy-five feet away, and was asked to hit Brosnan in the face. Ricky warned them it wasn't a good idea, safety wise. After they convinced him to do it, he agreed, and hit Pierce right above the eyes. To his disappointment, for some reason, they never asked him to repeat it on film. Gupta is shown throwing cards in the DVD deleted scenes. Jay would also be employed by the CIA in real life to teach their agents sleight of hand (how to pick pockets, pass objects between them unobserved etc)
Michelle Yeoh got along well with Pierce Brosnan during filming, saying afterwards that Brosnan was "a gentleman".
"Elliot Carver: The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success."
"Elliot Carver: Mr. Jones, are we ready to release our new software? Jones: Yes, sir. As requested, it's full of bugs, which means people will be forced to upgrade for years. Elliot Carver: Outstanding."
