** In the pre-credits chase, why did the Russian agents waste the time and manpower to chase Bond down the slopes, instead of having a sniper calmly pick off Bond in his **very obvious** bright yellow and red ski suit?
*** It would have made for a very, very short [[PlotArmor Bond]] film.
** So the submariners Stromberg hired were too stupid to realize they were aiming their missiles at a (not so) random stretch of ocean?
*** TruthInTelevision: Submarine-launched [=ICBMs=] deliberately use a nonstandard and arbitrary coordinate system for the exact purpose of making sure the submariners ''don't'' know where the hell the missiles are going. It helps prevent the possibility of, shall we say, submarines going into business for themselves.
*** It also prevents the crew from feeling guilty about hitting a specific target, since they don't even know where they're firing.
** Anya addresses Q by his rank and surname; the KGB is clearly well aware of who he is! Same goes for Gogol addressing M by his first name.
** If Anya had stolen the plans for the car and knew of its underwater features, why was she so concerned when the car went off the pier? She knew they were in no danger.
*** She stole the blueprints, but it might have taken her a while to recognise the finished article. The original blueprints might have been based on a different car (the Lotus Espirit had only been in production for a year at the time the film was released). Also, she might not have thought that the sub part ''worked'' (especially if the KGB, having obtained the blueprints, had tried to build their own submarine car and failed). Therefore, she probably assumed that it was a normal (if somewhat flashy) car — as the audience did.
*** Reading something in a file two or three years earlier is not the same as living it in the here and now. Besides, the car had been taking ''machine gun fire'', so there was no way to know for sure it wasn't already compromised.
*** Makes sense, as she only reveals that she stole the blueprints ''after'' the car turns into a submarine. Now that the danger is passed and it's clear that it ''actually works'', it's all coming back to her.
** The suffix on the Lotus' registration plate is the letter 'Q', a clear nod to Q Branch in addition to creating an air of mystery for the car, as British registration plate suffixes went straight from 'P' (for cars registered in 1975) to 'R' (1976). 'Q' plates, used for vehicles where the registration date could not be verified (and so used almost exclusively on imports and kit cars) would not be introduced until 1983.

** James Bond deployed two nuclear warheads in the Atlantic Ocean, causing who knows what kind of ecological damage and possibly made travel by sea far more difficult for years to come.
* FridgeBrilliance:
** One disappointing aspect of the film is that Anya is taken hostage and thus not part of the climactic battle on the Liparus. However had she been involved James would not have come to rescue her at Atlantis and she likely would've still harbored all her hatred and wanted to make good on her vow to kill James for killing her lover. That would've resulted in a post-climax confrontation between her and Bond where one of them (obviously her) would've ended up dead. A serious DownerEnding. Instead by defying orders and coming to her rescue she was able to forgive him.
