Line 2:
* [[California Doubling]]: Bangkok doubles for Ho Chi Minh City, referred to as Saigon in the film. Also, London stood in for Hamburg for the carpark chase, among other scenes.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Specifically, the director told Brosnan and Yeoh separately that they were going to be the one driving the bike in the Saigon [[Chase Scene]]. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. Earlier in the film, Bond's car crashes through a dealership. Members of the public nearby were not told this was happening, so their shock is real.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Desperate Housewives|Susan]] gets to sleep with [[Remington Steele (TV)|Remington Steele]].
** She swapped [[Lois and Clark|Superman]] for [[James Bond]].
** [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Governor Swan]] as the main villain.
Line 8:
*** Look for [[Three Hundred|King Leonidas]] as another radar operator on the ''Devonshire''.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: The plot was supposed to be about the reunification of Hong Kong and China, but someone realised they wouldn't be able to get the film done in time, resulting in rewrites that caused the last act to be all action and barely any plot.
* [[Shout -Out]]: After Bond and Wai Lin are captured ([[James Bondage|first time for Lin, second for James]]), Carver shows them all the newspaper headlines mentioning the impending conflict. The last one reads, [[The Empire Strikes Back|The Empire WILL Strike Back!]]
{{quote| '''Carver:''' I rather like the last one. It isn't even mine.}}
** "THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" was the actual headline on an April 1982 issue of Newsweek during the Falklands War.
