I didn't notice it until I saw it in a documentary but it turns out that the hull number for the fictitious USS Wayne (SSBN 593) in TSWLM actually belonged to the ill-fated USS Thresher (SSN 593) which sunk off the coast of the United States in the early 1960s.

Coincidence or intentional -- you be the judge.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that was due to a sinus problem that the actress Carole Bouquet had.

[Tanger]

That is also correct.

[Blue Eyes]

Well I never. Didn't know either of those facts.

[DLibrasnow]

I think the whole FYEO underwater stuff is covered in one of the DVD documentaries....

Did you know that the interior of Carver's Stealth Ship is the same set as the interior of the Liparus?

[DLibrasnow]

you are kidding right Dan Man?!

[DanMan]

I feel really stupid right now. I just re-read the TND DVD booklet and my above post was a mistake. Sorry for the misinformation.

[DLibrasnow]

its okay

[License To Kill]

LOL, what did it really say, Dan

[JimmyBond]

Probably that they were both filmed in the 007 stage. So in a way, DanMan is right, they both housed the sets he mentioned.

[Kingdom Come]

Did u know that Bond and Jaws really liked each other and were friends and it was just acting that Jaws was trying to kill Bond? lol

[DLibrasnow]

Yes I am suspecting that DanMan misunderstood the information they were both filmed on the same soundstage.

[homerjbond]

Kingdom Come, I read that somewhere, thanks for confirming it!

Also, did you know that the outer space scenes in MR was NOT actually shot in outer space? It was filmed on Earth!

Something about not being able to get a crew into orbit to build the space station set...

[DanMan]

Yeah. I read too fast and then I read that it said it was the same sound stage and not set.

[DLibrasnow]

Not that it was technically a blooper (more a joke by the crew) but over the end credits of "Inside Moonraker" (on the DVD) you see Moore and Chiles doing a scene in the space station when they come upon a man cleaning the windows of the station --- from the outside.

Bet he drinks Carling Black Label (the UK readers should get that).
