A shot with a Golden Gun results in a certain "one shot, one kill", in such James Bond video games as GoldenEye 007 (1997), 007: Agent Under Fire (2001), 007: Nightfire (2002), GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (2004), From Russia with Love (2005), James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing (2003), and The World Is Not Enough (2000). In the Nintendo 64 version of The World Is Not Enough (2000), the Golden Gun must be assembled from the cigarette case, fountain pen, and cigarette lighter, as in this movie. Similarly, a move with a Golden Revolver also results in a guaranteed kill in the video game Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico (2005). Moreover, in the video game Killer7 (2005), the hero can utilize a Golden Gun, which will, in one shot, exterminate all of his adversaries. Finally, in the video game Saints Row: The Third (2011), entering the cheat code "goldengun" will make all of weapons in the game one-hit kills. Neither Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico (2005), Killer7 (2005), nor Saints Row: The Third (2011) are James Bond Universe video games.
In his autobiography, Sir Roger Moore said that when they were filming the boat chase on the klongs, he fell in twice. The first was on purpose (because they told him not to do it), and the second time was by accident. On the second fall, Moore made the mistake of opening his eyes underwater, and saw what the local undertakers did with the bodies of the less fortunate. Conversely, this is the only Sir Roger Moore Bond movie where the Bond character is not drenched in water in some way.
While on-location in Thailand, Sir Roger Moore found a cave full of bats. He couldn't resist seeking out Sir Christopher Lee, telling him what he had found and joking "Master, they are yours to command!" Lee appreciated the joke.
Before acting, Sir Christopher Lee had a brief career in the British Secret Service, in which he studied several languages. One of these languages was Swedish. Off-set, he spoke Swedish with Britt Ekland and Maud Adams. His wife, Gitte Lee (née Krøncke) is Danish.
The island used as the filming location for the Scaramanga's beach house (Phang Nga Bay, Thailand) is known as "James Bond Island".
One of the lowest grossing Bond movies. That fact, combined with behind-the-scenes problems, nearly made this the final Bond movie, and delayed production of the next entry in the franchise, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).
