Pre-Credits Sequence
Three British men get killed within as many minutes – a delegate at the United Nations, an agent in San Monique, and a man succumbs to a snakebite in a voodoo ceremony. James Bond is absent, but the killings set up the initial plot line.

Title
The title is not used directly in the film, but it can be heard in the rendition of the theme song at the Filet of Soul restaurant

Cut Scenes
The pre-titles sequence was originally going to feature Bond throwing a man off the top of a skyscraper (accidentally); Bond strangling a goon on the banks of the river chase; Quarrel demonstrates the gas pellet gun; a dialogue reference to Quarrel’s father; a scene where Kananga threatens Tee Hee after harms Solitaire.

Best Line
Seeing a voodoo sign (a tatty hat with a feather in it) on their bed, Bond’s female companion screams. Bond responds: “Why it’s just a hat darling, belonging to a smallheaded man of limited means who lost a fight with a chicken.”

Best Mistake
On the back of Solitaire’s cards is a red-and-white design featuring the number 007 repeated over and over.

Distinguishing Feature
First appearance by Roger Moore as Bond, and the first time Bond drives a bus.
