Trivia: The vessel supposed to be Chinese is in fact a Japanese vessel belonging to Mitsui OSK lines.
Trivia: Not counting the rebooted timeline with Casino Royale (2006), this is the only Bond film where he does not get his martini shaken, as he prefers.
Trivia: Anthony Ainley, who would later portray The Master in Doctor Who, has an uncredited role as one of the Hong Kong policemen who discover James Bond's supposed corpse in the opening sequence.
Plot hole: Blofeld tells the bad guys that they had Bond and let him get away. The woman says, "But Bond is dead. It was in all the papers." As we saw in a paper near the start, there was a well-publicised photo of Bond, and when she met him he wasn't using any kind of disguise, so how did she not recognise him if she'd seen the papers?
Tiger Tanaka: I must say I am disappointed with the ease with which I could pull you in. The one thing my honourable mother taught me long ago was never to get into a car with a strange girl. But you, I'm afraid, will get into anything. With any girl.
