Facts and Bloopers:
The "keel-hauling" scene from For Your Eyes Only was originally slated for Live and Let Die, as the sequence actually occurs in that novel.
While playing chemin de fer, Bond is dealt a five and an ace. Yet, the croupier announces that Bond has won by accumulating a count of nine.
In a preliminary script of For Your Eyes Only, Kriegler threatens Bond with a huge block of marble, and then steps on a loose floorboard which springs up, hitting him in the crotch. This causes Kriegler to fall through the window to his death.
