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: During ADR sessions for A View to a Kill, Grace Jones encountered a common sound problem; her extravagant clothing kept rustling and interfering with the microphone. Rather than keep retaking her lines with ruined audio, Jones wrote in her memoir that she simply stripped off her clothes and continued recording nude. It solved the issue and gave the sound crew one of the most memorable post-production stories of the Bond series.
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 Don Calvedt. Worth performed the stunt perfectly on the first attempt, making a second take redundant. However, Calvedt snuck up to the tower the following morning and leapt off it anyway, being spotted by the crew as he did so. He was subsequently fired for almost costing the production's permission to film in Paris.
Chosen answer: The Mythbusters tested that very thing on their show. The result was that it was impossible to breathe in air from a leaking tire while underwater.
