Instead of Miss Moneypenny, Loelia Ponsonby, James Bond's secretary in the early Fleming novels, was in the first draft of this movie. Presumably, Ponsonby was going to replace Moneypenny as a recurring character. Ultimately, tradition prevailed, and Moneypenny ended up in the final draft, and Ponsonby was scrapped.
007: Con licencia para matar (1989) used a contest advertising campaign to help generate interest for the movie. The winner of the contest was promised a cameo role in the next James Bond movie. Unfortunately, due to many production issues, work on this movie did not begin for many years. Nevertheless, the contest winner was given a scene after the long delay. She does not have a speaking part, but you can see her in a lovely gold and black evening dress looking over Xenia Onatopp's (Famke Janssen's) shoulder as she plays Baccarat against Bond (Pierce Brosnan).
Computer graphics were used to create the famous "gun barrel" opening, making this movie the first James Bond film to use CGI.
An East German architect and a Russian civil engineer were present during the construction of the Russian sites and interior sets. They refused to have their names credited.
Features the highest bungee jump from a structure in a movie. The drop was over seven hundred twenty-two feet. The man who did the jump has a cameo as the black-haired Tiger helicopter pilot shot by Xenia Onatopp.
First completely original James Bond movie, without reference to any Ian Fleming novel or short story.

Martin Campbell: One of the cyclists who gets toppled over when James Bond and Xenia Onatopp race past them.
