This applies to Moonraker too - Jaws' "teeth" were so painful that actor Richard Kiel could only keep them in for a few seconds at a time, which is why you don't get too many long shots with them visible. He only wore them when he needed to open his mouth.
During filming, the Lotus Esprit submarine car was nicknamed "Wet Nellie" by the crew, a reference to "Little Nellie", Bond's gyrocopter in "You Only Live Twice".
Roger Moore was injured shooting the scene where "Stromberg" meets his end, when explosives on his chair exploded prematurely.
At the end of the credits it says, "James Bond Will Return In: For Your Eyes Only." But after the film came "Moonraker" and then FYEO. After the producers saw the success of "Star Wars" (1977), they decided to make a space-themed Bond movie.
Due to his failing eyesight, cinematographer Claude Renoir was unable to see to the end of the supertanker set, forcing Production Designer Ken Adam to ask friend Stanley Kubrick to supervise lighting for the set. Kubrick agreed on condition of complete secrecy of his involvement.
Jaws was originally going to die at the end of the film. The producers sensed, however, that Jaws would be popular and filmed an alternate ending where he survived. The alternative one was used in the film.
The idea for Stromberg's underwater headquarters, "Atlantis," came from a Japanese floating exhibit named "Aquapolis" used in Expo '75.
After the release of "The Spy Who Loved Me," demand for white Lotus Esprits reached such a point that prospective customers were put on a three-year waiting list by Lotus Cars.
The villain in "The Spy Who Loved Me" was supposed to be "Blofeld", but legal wrangles with Kevin McClory forced screenwriter Christopher Wood to remove any reference to the character or S.P.E.C.T.R.E. at the last moment.
In the film, Bond shoots "Stromberg" in his private parts. Sources state that Bond's dialogue at this point was originally to have been "Ballseye, Fishfinger," but censorship issues would see this altered.
