Thunderball

Bond's jetpack was actually flown by engineer Bill Suiter. He was one of only two people in the world qualified to fly it.

When Bond is being held in the car, a drunk comes along and offers a bottle of rum. Bond spills the rum over the back of the front seat and ignites it. The fluid flashes and burns with a bright orange flame. Rum will not flash and only burns with a cool, dim blue flame. It would not be hot enough to immediately set the car seat alight.

The opening credits are an underwater sequence of female swimmers.

The first VHS release in Germany (from 1983) was cut to secure a "Not under 12" rating. The scene where Bond kills Vargas omits the brief shot showing the latter being perforated by the harpoon arrow (the previous shot showing Bond firing the harpoon was intact). Subsequent releases until 1991 were cut even more (the fight with Bouvar, the death of Quist, the pool fight, the underwater battle, the boat fight). Since then, the film has been released uncut on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray.
