For Your Eyes Only (film)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Both the theme tune and "A Drive in the Country". (the rest of the score, however, it's widely considered out of place for a Bond film)
  • A Day in the Limelight: Even Bond fans who aren't fond of the Roger Moore era like this one. AMC recently[when?] advertised it as such.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: "Countess" Lisl was played by Australian actress Cassandra Harris, married to an up-and-coming Television actor named Pierce Brosnan. She always wanted to see him play 007; unfortunately, by the time that happened Harris had died of cancer some years prior.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: That powered armor looks a heckuva lot like D-type equipment.
  • Ho Yay: Locque and Kriegler look and behave vaguely similar and Bibi mentions that Kriegler never shows any interest in women. Might not sound like much to go on, but that's not prevented a slightly shocking amount of slash fiction involving these two.
  • Narm:
    • "Blofeld" pleading for his life, as Bond dangles him from a helicopter:

Please, Mister Bond! I'll buy you a stainless steel delicatessen!!

    • It was apparently the film's producer, Albert R Broccoli, who came up with that line, which is supposed to be based on some kind of Mafia-slang.
    • Also, the Bomb Whistle he emits as he plummets down the chimney.
  • So Okay It's Average: This movie is far from bad, but it's really not one of the most impressive or memorable in the whole series.
  • Squick:
    • Bibi Dahl isn't very far past her mid-teens and she's not a virgin. Even Kristatos isn't aware of this.
    • And if her age and lack of virginity isn't squicky enough (she has reached the ages of consent of both Italy and Greece, if not by much), the reason we know she isn't a virgin is that she tells a man more than twice her age that while attempting to seduce him.
  • Tear Jerker: Bond visiting his dead wife's (Teresa from On Her Majesty's Secret Service) grave in the Cold Open. It's especially sad when you see the Ironic Echo "We Have All The Time In The World" is etched on her tombstone.
