* StarMakingRole: Partial Aversion. Pierce Brosnan was already famous when [=GoldenEye=] was made, but after Remington Steele (which put him on the map) he lapsed into mediocrity. Bond revitalised his career greatly, to the point that he's the only Bond other than SeanConnery to have an active and lucrative film career.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: The movie came out in 1995. Natalya goes to an IBM office so she can contact Boris via the internet, and gives the sales rep a purchase order as a rather clever lie to use their connection. Computers using 500 megabyte hard drives, with 14.4 kbps modems, seem woefully underpowered today.
* TheOtherDarrin: Samantha Bond replaced Caroline Bliss as Moneypenny.

* MethodActing: Before filming the sequence in the sauna where Bond hurls her into the walls, Creator/FamkeJanssen encouraged Creator/PierceBrosnan to run her into the wall as hard as he could, and actually ''insisted'' he do it, citing that the walls were padded; [[CueIrony Cue irony]] as Famke promptly managed to break a rib after Brosnan did as she demanded, the very damage her murderous thighs are meant to do in-movie.
