The Spy Who Loved Me mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Stromberg is thanking Dr. Bechman and Professor Marcovitz, he has a towel in his hand. When the camera changes to another angle that shows the back of his chair, his hands are totally empty and resting on an arm of the chair. Then it changes back to the original camera angle, and he now has a towel in his hands again.

Continuity mistake: When Jaws holds the wooden stick at Bond, he holds it at an 11 o'clock angle. From the opposite shot, it's suddenly at a 9 o'clock angle - and this keeps switching back and forth.

Trivia: On Her Majesty's Secret Service features some of the series' best ski action, filmed by Willy Bogner Jr, who returned for three Roger Moore films starting with The Spy Who Loved Me. That film's legendary ski jump stunt was reportedly first suggested by George Lazenby during Majesty's, but the production lacked resources to attempt it. Producer Michael G. Wilson later credited a magazine photo of skier Rick Sylvester as the inspiration, though both accounts may be true.

Revealing mistake: The shot of the two nuclear missiles being launched is used twice, just reversed. They seem to have changed the saturation slightly in one of them to make it look different, but there are identical clouds at the top left/top right in both shots, ruining the trick.

Question: Has there ever been a backstory written for Jaws? I would love to know where he came from, and how he came to be, so I was wondering if there has ever been one written, and where I can find it.

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: Yes, there was a backstory for the character of Jaws in Christopher Wood's novelisation of the film "James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me", not to be confused with the Ian Fleming novel.
