* ''[[Reilly, Ace of Spies]]'': Sidney Reilly. Considering that Reilly, a man shrouded in mystery, was possibly a [[Real Life]] inspiration for Bond, this makes it a bit of [[Truth in Television]]. Consider also that he was played by Sam Neill, who was screen-tested for the role of [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] in ''[[The Living Daylights]]''. |

* ''[[MythBusters]]'' tested out if you could wear a tuxedo under a dry suit to crash a party on a yacht. After swimming underwater for half a mile, Jaime came up out of the water, stripped off the dry suit, and was able to attend the party in a perfectly presentable tux. |
