"You know Bond, you could have been a live, rich man instead of a poor, dead one." -Whittaker

Facts and Bloopers:

As Bond drives up to the Hotel Isle de France to confront Puskin, his car bumps into a pedestrian.  Bond apparently thinks his licence to kill extends to his driver's licence!

Before it occured to the writers to indroduce a new Aston Martin in The Living Daylights, Bond and Kara were to escape from behind the Iron Curtain via a pilfered KGB automobile and an ice yacht.

This scene was cut from the film:  "Q" gives Bond a pen capable of duplicating writings made by any other pen.
