Line 2:
* [[California Doubling]]: Vienna plays the part of Bratislava, as well as appearing as itself.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Big Bad]] Brad Whitaker is played by [[Mitchell|Joe Don]] [[Final Justice|Baker]] who would, [[Hilarious in Hindsight|ironically]] go on to play Bond's CIA contact Jack Wade in the first two of Pierce Brosnan's Bond films.
** [[The Dragon|Necros]] is [[Die Hard (Film)|Tony]] (ho ho ho, Bond has the gun now).
** The well-read and helpful Arabic guy is the [[Big Bad]] of [[True Lies]].
** [[The Fugitive (Filmfilm)|Dr. Charles Nichols]] is General Koskov
** [[Indiana Jones (Franchise)|Sallah]], or [[The Lord of the Rings (Filmfilm)|Gimli]], is General Puskin.
*** And his mistress is "Warrior Woman" from ''[[The Road Warrior|Mad Max 2]]''.
** [[The Fifth Element|Major Iceborg]] helps General Koskov escape by [[Marshmallow Hell|distracting her boss]].
* [[The Other Darrin]]: ''Two'' short-lived replacements arrive in this film - Timothy Dalton as Bond, and Caroline Bliss as Moneypenny.
** Also John Terry, who briefly shows up as Felix Leiter, becoming the sixth (seventh if you include ''[[Never Say Never Again (Film)|Never Say Never Again]]'') actor in the role.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Bond was meant to be after General Gogol, the recurring KGB head played by Walter Gotell in every Bond movie since ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me (Film)|The Spy Who Loved Me]]''. However, Gotell was ill at the time, and thus, unable to commit to the film. So it was written that General Pushkin became head of the KGB as Gogol became a diplomat. By the time Gotell was well enough, he essentially makes a cameo as Gogol in the end.
* [[What Could Have Been]] : [[Pierce Brosnan]] was set to play Bond, and even screen-tested for the part, but had to back out due to ''[[Remington Steele (TV)|Remington Steele]]'' commitments.
** Sam Neill was also considered for the part.
