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.
