A View to a Kill

Trivia: The Rolls Royce that Patrick Macnee drives in this movie belonged to the producer, Albert R. Broccoli.

Trivia: When Bond is speaking to Chuck Lee near the boat, a horn can be heard that plays the first notes of the James Bond theme song.

Trivia: The stylish hat that Miss Moneypenny wears at the Royal Ascot meeting was later donated for a charity auction by actress Lois Maxwell at a 1993 James Bond Fan Club event at Pinewood Studios.

Trivia: This is Sir Roger Moore's least favourite Bond movie of the seven in which he appeared. He thought the movie was too violent and that he was too old to play the role. Moore also said that he felt there was no chemistry between him and Tanya Roberts, and had a genuine dislike for Grace Jones.

Trivia: The stunt of May Day leaping off the Eiffel Tower was originally supposed to be performed twice; once by stuntman BJ Worth and again by Calvedt. Worth performed the stunt perfectly on the first attempt, making a second take redundant. However, Calvedt snuck up to the tower and leapt off it, being spotted by the crew as he did so. He was subsequently fired for jeopardising the crew's ability to shoot in Paris.
