Bond (Lazenby) rescues Diana Rigg from her attempted suicide on the beach, but then is attacked by two men. While he is busy punching it out with them, Rigg jumps into her car and drives away. Emerging victorious from the brawl just in time to see her vanish over the horizon, he mutters, "This never happened to the other fellow" - a reference to his predecessor Connery's movie successes with the other sex.

In the scene where Draco is talking to Bond, in Draco's office, look closely at the picture in the portrait frame on the bookcase, in the background. The lady in the picture is Diana Rigg's mother. (Possibly an "in-joke" by the Bond production team?)

While probably not an intentional reference, it's interesting that the opening gun barrel sequence foreshadows Lazenby being the only Bond who proposes marriage and would leave the franchise after only one movie. Not only does he drop to one knee to fire at the barrel, but he also disappears from the sights when the blood begins to ooze down over the lens.
