Factual error: Two pilot/astronauts steal a space shuttle by firing it up and launching it off the back of the Boeing 747 transporter. This cannot happen: the 747 can't lift the shuttle with a full fuel load – it only just lifts it empty. It is not a fictional, futuristic spacecraft. It's a bog standard shuttle, stolen from NASA, on the back of the modified 747 used by them to transport the orbiter from its landing site to Cape Canaveral. (Why would they carry a fully fuelled shuttle anyway?)

5.5/10. Possibly the silliest and worst Bond movie until No Time To Die. One movie and the only big franchise movie to try and capitalize on Star Wars success. Watch it for laughs but don't take it seriously like you would others like On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Dr No, and License To Kill. James Bond in space plus part of the plot of The Spy Who Loved Me plus the master race idea. That sums it up.
