M: Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister, and even he is smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous, arse-covering pricks? They don't care what we do, they care what we get photographed doing!
And how could Bond be so stupid?! I give him 00 status and he celebrates by shooting up an embassy! Is the man deranged? And where the hell is he? In the old days, if an agent did something that embarassing, he'd have the good sense to defect. Christ, I miss the Cold War!

This is the first Bond film in which both of the Bond girls are killed.
Director Martin Campbell makes a cameo as the gasoline truck driver who gets killed by the attempted plane bomber.
The internal shots of the hotel in Venice Bond is staying in is actually the National Museum in Prague - obviously almost every movie uses random locations, but partly it's very identifiable if you've been there, and also I've recently been there myself, and this is my site, so I'm listing it.
The chief of police who is arrested as Bond sits at a Cafe is in fact Michael G Wilson (one of the film's producers).
The 1964 Aston Martin DB5 won by Bond in the hotel poker game is the same model as that driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger. However, the producers had to fit it with an automatic gearbox as Daniel Craig cannot drive a manual car.
Daniel Craig lost some of his teeth whilst practising for a fight scene.
Ford was obviously the car company displayed in the movie. Right after you first see his Ford, he drives into the club and takes a Range Rover, a company owned by Ford. While Bond valets the car (poorly), every car in the parking lot is owned by Ford: Ford, Lincoln, Jaguar, Volvo. There's one exception with one parked Caddy he passes.
This was the first Bond film since Live and Let Die that did not feature Q, and was the first Bond film that did not feature Miss Moneypenny.
Richard Branson made a very quick cameo as a passenger getting checked at a security gate, when Bond was running through Miami Dade airport.
