Mentioned in interviews and behind the scenes footage

Jinx jumps backwards from heights of the Castillo de San Sebastián to the sound of Vertigo like score

Jinx (Halle Berry) walking out of the sea in a bikini, wearing a white belt and a diving knife. The synthesizer sounds from the opening credits play when Bond escapes the MI6 hospital. The gun that Jinx has to surrender to Miranda on-board the plane is a Beretta Cheetah. In Dr. No (1962), the Armorer remarks to 007 that the Beretta made a good woman's pistol. During the "Kiss Of Life" scene, David Arnold's film score includes samples of the same electronic sounds heard in the gun barrel sequence of Dr. No (1962). In that film, Bond asks if the government house sent him a car. He uses the name "Universal Exports" in order to be patched through. In this movie, Bond claims he is from Universal Exports, asking about the Delectados (cigars), in order to gain access to the contact in Cuba.

The shoe with the poison-tipped blade is seen in Q's station laboratory. There is a knife concealed in a briefcase. In the ice palace sequence, there is a game board (the chess match). Enemy spies are behind a one-way mirror in a hotel room with cameras. Graves' engineer is seen holding the Icarus control, and petting it like a cat. When they first meet, Jinx tells James her name, and adds, "My friends call me Jinx." Bond replies, "Mine call me James Bond." In From Russia with Love (1963), Tatiana Romanova introduces herself, and adds, "My friends call me Tania," and Bond gives the same reply.

Jinx is nearly cut with a laser in Mr. Kil's laboratory. The rest of the fight scene is also a tribute. Bond once again drives a gadget-laden Aston Martin, specifically with a passenger ejector seat. The new Q comments that, as he learned from his predecessor, "I never joke about my work, 007." The scene where Bond and Graves fence for money, only to see Bond up the stakes for one of Graves' diamonds, is suggestive of the golf match between Bond and Auric Goldfinger. The golf match had originally been for money, until Bond throws down a gold brick to "up the stakes". Bond is threatened with death in a depressurizing plane. Bond and Jinx receive electric shocks from a villain, Oddjob was killed by electrocution. In the pre-title sequence, Bond removes a wetsuit to reveal ordinary clothes underneath.

Tie-in television commercial with the movie. The picture's title logo is seen at the end of the commercial. John Cleese send-up of his Q character.

Dennis refers to this James Bond sequel as "Die Alive Yesterday And Tomorrow Again".

It is a parody.
