The Spy Who Loved Me/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • "What, you never seen a major shower before?"
  • The ending:

M: 007!
Gogol: Triple X!
Defense Minister Grey: Bond, what do you think you're doing?
Bond: (Beat) Keeping the British end up, sir! (closes curtain)

  • Jaws, in the ruins, watches Bond and Anya escape in the telephone van. He picks up a huge boulder...and drops it on his foot. He doesn't scream, but his pained grimace is priceless.
  • Also, at the ruins: Bond single-handedly knocks down the scaffolding and says, "Egyptian builders!" This reportedly got the biggest laugh out of the Egyptian governmental advisors--the producers were concerned that they'd veto the line.
  • After Q gives Bond his new car:

Bond: Q, have I ever let you down?
Q: Frequently!

  • Meta-example: During a scene where Bond and Anya are walking through the desert, someone decided to put the soundtrack from Lawrence of Arabia over the action as a joke. It got such a good reaction that the cue made it into the final cut.
