Her seductive appearance in these clips was, according to Roger Moore, more sexy than any of the Bond girls.

8) Which actor plays M in For Your Eyes Only?


Of all the James Bond films, this is the only movie where M is absent. Bernard Lee had died while preparing for the film, and instead of recasting, the role was left vacant out of respect.

10) What kind of car do Bond and Melina use to evade Gonzales' men?


Bond's Lotus Esprit explodes when a guard tries to break one of its windows, so he and Melina attempt to escape in her car, a small, clunky Citroën 2CV, leading Gonzales' men on in a furious chase through a small Spanish town. At one point the 2CV flips and lands on its side and has to be righted by hand.
