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.

8.4/10. Possibly the third best Bond movie Roger Moore ever did just behind Live And Let Die and The Man With The Golden Gun. Here, using nuclear weapons to star war while hoping to begin a new civilization underwater works better than trying this in space like they would in the next Bond movie Moonraker. I like the look of Barbara Bach as she possesses a confidence of a woman determined to fulfill her mission to her country and avenge her fallen lover. Moore looks at ease as Bond with Jurgens and Kiel are great as Stromberg and Jaws.

James Bond: He just dropped in for a quick bite.
Trivia: 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.

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.
