Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made to cash in on Star Wars mania — the Bond producers literally said 'we need space.' It became the highest-grossing Bond film until GoldenEye.
The centrifuge scene used a real rig that could spin at 60mph; Roger Moore's stunt double passed out twice. The 'double-taking pigeon' was an unscripted accident the editor kept.
