* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: Despite the film's embrace of many MysticalIndia tropes, the film is considered a series highlight in India, and is a factor in Roger Moore's own popularity in the country.

** When the guard alerts the others to Bond breaking into the base and caps off his description with " and he's wearing a ''red shirt''!" as if ''this'' is the most heinous offense of all.

This is not YMMV.


* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: Once Bond discovers a Nuclear Bomb is going to detonate on a US Air Base the usual light hearted DeadpanSnarker Roger Moore era Bond completely disappears and he becomes all business about trying to contact the appropriate people and simultaneously get to the bomb. Ironic since at the end of this sequence he’s literally dressed as a clown!]]

* CultClassic: Though its overall reputation tends to be mixed, there is a loud and vocal fanbase for this film that ranks it as one of Moore's best, particularly those that love the {{Bathos}} of the Cold War drama mixed with some of the series' all-time silliest visual moments.

Well of course it would look like dust. He crushed it into dust.


** Gobinda crushing the dice; imposing as it is to see him crush them into dust, it's a tad too obvious that it is actually dust when he tosses it away.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: The scene where Bond confronts Orlov is probably Creator/RogerMoore's best moment as Bond and proof that he could play the part seriously if the occasion called for it. His being able to sell a serious warning about a nuclear bomb while dressed as a clown is also quite a good showing.

* UnfortunateImplications: Bond in India is never going to end well. It still does a lot better than ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', but it's still uncomfortably neo-colonialist, especially Bond's remark, after tipping an Indian driver, "that'll keep him in curry for a while!" and its treatment of women - never a Bond series strong point in the older films - is poor.
