  • California Doubling: The underwater scenes are supposed to be Gibraltar, but were shot in the Bahamas; also, since Japan didn't allow for Stuff Blowing Up in a national park, parts of the Little Nellie battle were shot in Spain.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Bond's contact Henderson is the criminologist Not to mention Blofeld.
    • Burt Kwouk, the Chinese representative - as seen in Goldfinger - and Casino Royale 1967. He's most famous for being Kato.
    • The cab driver who fights Bond at the hotel is The Rock's grandpa!
    • Sean Connery's real life wife, Diane Cilento, was Mie Hama's (Kissy) stunt double. The scenes where Kissy swims were of Diane.
    • Both Bond girls Mie Hama and Akiko Wakabayashi were in the Japanese spy movie International Secret Police: Key of Keys, which Woody Allen later redubbed for comedic effect in Whats Up Tiger Lily?.
  • The Other Darrin: Donald Pleasence takes over the role of Blofeld from the Anthony Dawson/Eric Pohlmann combo that had previously been playing the part...
  • The Other Marty: ...however, he wasn't the first person who attempted to do so. The original actor they cast was Jan Werich, who proved completely wrong for the role and so was replaced by Pleasence.
  • Serendipity Writes the Plot: Mie Hama was having trouble learning English, while Akiko Wakabayashi had much progress. Since the former even threatened to kill herself if fired, the producers just traded the roles between actresses, as Kissy appears much later in the story and has less lines.
