Trivia
(The World Is Not Enough)
35 boats where actually used to create the action packed chase
down the Thames in the pre-credit sequence!
During the boat chase, Bond soaks two wheel clampers, one of
these was Ray Brown who starred in a docu-soap about wheel clampers
in the UK. They were actually told that they would only get "slightly
wet"!
When Bond watches a report about Elektra King's kidnapping, the
BBC set had to be recreated just to film the sequence with real
news reporter Martyn Lewis.
Producer Michael Wilson can be seen once again - he is the man
who gives Elektra something to sign as she enters her private
booth in Valetin's casino.
Ten takes of the scene between Bond and Elektra in bed could
not be used due to the fact a nipple was visible!
Although Zukovsky is seen to be shot and collapses on the floor,
it is rumoured that his injury might not be fatal.
The ski-para hawk attack scene was inspired by the ski chase
in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). Filmmakers wanted to
connect the film with the one which its title is derived from.
The sequence at Zukovsky's caviar factory, where Bond and Christmas
Jones are being chased by helicopters carrying razor-sharp sawblades,
was originally scripted in GoldenEye (1995). However, the film
was running a bit long and filmmakers dropped it from the script
and it was never filmed.
