Revealing mistake: The shot of the two nuclear missiles being launched is used twice, just reversed. They seem to have changed the saturation slightly in one of them to make it look different, but there are identical clouds at the top left/top right in both shots, ruining the trick.
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Ending / spoiler

Bond destroys the submarines with their own nuclear warheads. He attacks Stromberg's base and shoots him twice in the groin and once in the face. He fights Jaws but drops him into a shark tank but kills the tiger shark with his titanium teeth. He rescues Anya Amasova and they escape in a mini-sub pod and engage in some pleasurable activity.

Trivia: At the end of the credits, it says "James Bond Will Return In: For Your Eyes Only." But after the film came "Moonraker" and then FYEO. After the producers saw the success of "Star Wars" (1977), they decided to make a space-themed Bond movie.
