Entry Michael G. Wilson, producer of many of the Bond films and stepson of Cubby Broccoli appears in a number of films in a cameo role. In "For Your Eyes Only", he plays a Greek priest in the scene when Bond meets with "Q" in a church.
Entry British model Caroline Cossey, who appeared as of the women in the film was revealed after the film to be a transsexual. She was born a man.
Entry The parrot that is seen at the very end of "For Your Eyes Only" saying "Give us a kiss," to Mrs. Thatcher (actually Thatcher impersonator Janet Brown) later appeared in another Bond movie - 1987's "The Living Daylights". You can see him on the perch at the safe house in the latter movie
Entry At the beginning of the film, Bond visits the grave of his wife. This is a two part reference to the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". First, Mrs. Bond (play by Diana Rigg) was killed in that movie, and second, the inscription on the gravestone is "We Have All the Time in the World" - the theme song for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", sung by Louis Armstrong.
Entry The opening of the movie, with Bond visiting his wife's grave, was initially created as an introduction of a new Bond when it looked like Roger Moore would not be returning to the series. When he did join, the filmmakers decided to keep it in anyway.
Entry This is the first Bond film that does not feature Bernard Lee. He died before filming began.
Entry Countess Lisl is played by Cassandra Harris, who was Pierce Brosnan's first wife.
Entry Sheena Easton who sings the theme song appears in the opening music sequence - this is the first time the title singer appeared in the opening of a Bond film.
Entry Following the success of the movie, car manufacturer Citroen sold a limited edition of 300 of Melina's car, complete with 007 stickers and fake bullet holes.
Entry The location for the film's climax posed several problems for the crew. A Monastery, atop a column of rock near Kalambaka, in the Pindus mountain range, had been chosen for the villain's hideaway. Permission had originally been granted, but just before filming was due to commence, the monks staged a protest and refused filming. The locals were furious with this and the disagreement was eventually settled by the Greek Supreme Court - in the film-makers' favour. The mountain scenery did not suit Moore, and it quickly became apparent that he was afraid of heights. One of the film's major stunts - Bond's 100 foot from the mountain - was performed by Rick Sylvester, who had originally done the ski-jump off the mountain-top in the pre-credit sequence of "The Spy Who Loved Me". At only 5' 6", he was much shorter than Moore, for whom he was doubling .
Entry The amazed extra from the beach in The Spy Who Loved Me and the surprised guy in St. Mark's square in Moonraker gets another eyeful when Bond skis through his dinner.
Entry The voice of Blofeld in the pre-credits sequence was Robert Rietty, while the man in the chair was John Hollis. Neither were credited. Robert Rietty was also previously uncredited for dubbing the voice of Largo in 'Thunderball'.
