Trivia: Casino Royale was the only film where James Bond dies until the release of No Time to Die over 50 years later.
Trivia: This applies to Moonraker too - Jaws' "teeth" were so painful that actor Richard Kiel could only keep them in for a few seconds at a time, which is why you don't get too many long shots with them visible. He only wore them when he needed to open his mouth.
Trivia: The title is an "in-joke" as Sean Connery said he would never play Bond again.
Trivia: The film's budget had been more than the first six Bond films added together, but Broccoli's gamble paid off. Upon release in the summer of 1979, the film enjoyed huge success globally, and the film easily recouped its budget.
Trivia: The 4-minute-long "continuous" opening shot is a first for a Bond movie. It's actually three separate sequences cleverly stitched together with cuts disguised.
