message: Under separation, it states that Gerry sold his share in 21 Century (and the rights of all the series) after he and Sylvia split up. It's my understanding (prob from his biography), that this happened BEFORE the split because they had lost a lot of money on poor property deals. Can this be checked?

message: Still puzzled over this one.  First I've heard of it was in the discussion of Anderson et al on here.  No reference in his authorised bio, or any other written references I have to hand.  Suggest removal.  Essentially just copy initial paragraph verbatim from AP Films article.  Comments?  Cain Mosni 18:00, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

message: There are some factual issues with the Moonraker Bond film section. To be fair to the editor who added it, it's possible the error may originate with the book source, but I don't have access to the book to check. First, UFO was produced during 1969-70; at this point the Bond producers were preparing to film Diamonds Are Forever for 1971 release, and they also released Live and Let Die (1973) and The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) before their partnership collapsed. The section suggests that between the production of UFO and the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me there were no other Bond films - patently wrong. Also, did Anderson threaten to sue over Spy Who Loved Me or over the 1979 Moonraker film? This is unclear. In any event, the discussion over the lawsuit must be accompanied by citations per WP: BLP. 68.146.80.110 (talk) 21:24, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite the new material in this section, it is still unclear why and when the legal dispute arose. As the article stands, it seems that Anderson was offered money several years after writing an adaptation of Moonraker; he turned the offer down and then complained of plagiarism, before accepting 'compensation'. Was Anderson's script still being considered after The Man With the Golden Gun was made? Who was he accusing of plagiarism? I think the timing and relationship of all of these events needs clarification. Alfrew (talk) 20:14, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Per WP:BOLD I deleted the reference to Moonraker from the Films list. First, it's misleading as Anderson had nothing to do with the 1979 film; as explained in the article he was invited to produce and write a version of Moonraker in the early 1970s, and while there was some apparent legal action with regards to The Spy Who Loved Me, as the article indicates, the final version of Moonraker had nothing to do with Anderson (other than I believe some of his SFX people worked on it). He's not mentioned in the Wikipedia article about the film, either, so linking to it leads researchers nowhere. 70.73.90.119 (talk) 13:55, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
