The third and final film in the series to be directed by Lewis Gilbert, it co-stars Lois Chiles, Michael Lonsdale, Corinne Cléry, and Richard Kiel.

(his plans in ruin and holding Bond at gunpoint)
Hugo Drax: At least I shall have the pleasure of putting you out of my misery. Poor, desolate Mr. Bond.
James Bond: (shoots Drax with hidden wrist-gun) Heartbroken Mr. Drax!
  • Actor Richard Kiel has only one line of dialogue in his two Bond appearances as "Jaws" (Moonraker (1979) and The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)). He says, "Well, here`s to us" near the end of this film.
  • Drax`s Venice laboratory has an electronic lock on it. The sequence which unlocks the door is the hailing tune from Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). This pass code to Drax`s laboratory in Venice was 12589.
  • The role of Drax was originally offered to James Mason.
