Trivia: The driver doing the driving stunts in the Lotus actually worked for Lotus - he was only supposed to deliver the car to set, but the stunt driver could not get the car to handle the way they wanted, so they asked him after he sped up the road and did a couple of hand brake turns on arrival.
Trivia: When Naomi first encounters Bond and Anya, you will notice that Naomi has a stern look on her face throughout the scene. This is because Caroline Munro was still feeling the pain of a bee sting on her behind which she suffered when getting into her speedboat.
Trivia: Ian Fleming was never happy with his novel, "The Spy Who Loved Me." In the book, Bond doesn't even appear until late into the story and much of the action takes place in a motel room. So when Fleming sold the film rights to the 007 books to Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, it was with specification that The Spy Who Loved Me was to be reinvented for the big screen and only the title could be used.
Trivia: The device Bond uses in the final part of the film to reach Atlantis is known as a Wetbike. This device would not be introduced for public use until 1978, one year after The Spy Who Loved Me was cinematically released.
Trivia: Robert Brown (Admiral Hargreaves) would later replace Bernard Lee in the role of "M" from "Octopussy" to "Licence to Kill".
Trivia: When Q delivers the Lotus to Bond and Anya, Anya greets him with "Good morning, Major Boothroyd." This is the only time in the films that Q's name is given. (His name in the novels is Major Geoffrey Boothroyd.).
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.
