  For your eyes only, only for you, see, that no one else could see

• The death of Lisl is quite Harsher in Hindsight. The actress, Cassandra Harris, was Pierce Brosnan's wife. She said then that he'd perfect as Bond. Sadly, she passed away from cancer in 1991, and didn't get to witness her husband becoming James Bond in 1995.
• The fact that one of the stuntmen, Paolo Rigoni, lost his life filming the bobsled chase when his sled overturned, a tragic first for the Bond saga.
• Michael Gothard, who portrayed Locque, killed himself in 1993, after a long battle with depression.
