Trivia: Before being cast as The Cigar Girl, Maria Grazia Cucinotta auditioned for the role of Elektra King. However, she did not get the role as director Michael Apted felt her English was not good enough to play the role convincingly.
Trivia: Despite being fourth billed to Pierce Brosnan, Denise Richards does not appear until 55 minutes into the film.
Factual error: At the beginning of the film, with the boat chase down the River Thames, Bond manages to get from the Vauxhall HQ of MI6 to Docklands in a remarkably short time. To travel the distance in the time that it takes him, you would need to be going at about 700 mph.
Valentin Zuvkovsky: I'm looking for a submarine! It's big and black and the driver is a very good friend of mine!
Question: Why does that woman commit suicide at the beginning? Who is it she is scared of and why?
Answer: She's afraid of Renard. She's apparently of the opinion that, if she allowed herself to be captured, that he would still be able to get to her regardless and would undoubtedly be deeply unhappy that she had allowed herself to be caught. She apparently feels that suicide is a preferable option to whatever he might do to her.
