Said speech includes lines like "great arrow of [[{{Revenge}} vengeance]]" and "the fate of my country's enemies will be written [[AxCrazy in dust, in ashes, in tears and in blood]]".

** Creator/LoisChiles wasn't feeling easy about filming one scene. So, to help relax her, during one take someone dressed up as a green martian and started washing the plexiglass windows of the space station. It worked.
** While filming in Venice, some prop boys got some wreaths for the funeral boat from a church...where a ''[[RefugeInAudacity real]]'' funeral was taking place.
** "One evening, I was volunteered to attend a function at a huge house just off the Grand Canal, in aid of the Save-Venice campaign. Creator/KenAdam offered to come with me. We eventually found the bar and soon realized that we were the youngest people there. We'd just taken a sip of our drinks when a white-haired old lady, in a very strangulated upper-class English country voice asked, "What are you doing here in Venice?"\\
"We're making a film", I said\\
"Oh, a fillum, eh? What sort of fillum?"\\
"It's James Bond, 007"\\
"Ohhh! And what do '''you''' do?" she asked.\\
Ken was now snorting with laughter behind her back - I could have killed him.\\
"Well, I sort of try to play James Bond", was my considered reply\\
She pause, moved back a foot or two, looked me up and down, then announced, "You'll be very good. I know Creator/IanFleming, you know".\\
[[DeadpanSnarker I wonder if she knew he'd been dead fifteen years?]]"
** It took ''six takes'' to get the Bondola afloat...because the left side inflated more quickly than the right and Moore fell in the canal. "It worked earlier, guv", said the props man. Thankfully, it was done on take six, when Moore was down to his last dry suit.
** When Moore had a kidney stone attack, the publicist told reporters, "Creator/RogerMoore has passed his kidney stone, but the bad news is that Creator/LoisChiles has swallowed it".
