Talk:The Spy Who Loved Me (film)

message: No, I think it's a bad idea to split the soundtrack into another article. It just doesn't make sense! I mean, if you were to look for the soundtrack, you'd naturally go to the movie article, because naturally it would be there, as it is now.
Any else think the reference to nudity and images of "sex organs" reads peculiarly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.64.183.171 (talk) 22:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Passed "good article" nomination

message: I've removed the statement that says that this is the first wholly original Bond film, as the element in which the targeting coordinates of a nuclear missile are redirected so that the missile destroys a submarine is borrowed from the novel Moonraker.--Urban Rose 20:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Even better than surround, the raw material (5 channel discrete sound) was enough to create DD 5.1 english track on the DVD. Subsequent James Bond were only Dolby Surround.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.98.139.219 (talk) 18:05, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

message: A cleanup page has been created for WP:FILMS' spotlight articles. One element that is being checked in ensuring the quality of the articles is the non-free images. Currently, one or more non-free images being used in this article are under discussion to determine if they should be removed from the article for not complying with non-free and fair use requirements. Please comment at the corresponding section within the image cleanup listing. Before contributing the discussion, please first read WP:FILMNFI concerning non-free images. Ideally the discussions pertaining to the spotlight articles will be concluded by the end of June, so please comment soon to ensure there is clear consensus. --Happy editing!

message: possibly the most boring question/query ever, but...
it says the water tank was 1.2m Gallons. Which is then converts to 4.5m Litres. This would only be the case if they were American Gallons. Presumably not as it was filmed in the UK; so it should really be almost 5.5m Litres. As the tank measured 91 m by 22.5 m by 2.7 m, this equals 5528 Cu M - which implies Imperial measures, not American.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.196.43.45 (talk) 10:22, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

message: The Plot summary is implicitly citing the primary source, so it can only summarise what's stated directly in the film. If you can't directly quote the film that it's the Fearless, then you can't state it in the plot summary. Anything else such as "HMS Fearless heads for scrapyard" (thanks for finding it, by the way) should be in more appropriate sections, such as Production.

thread_title:  Can the subs used in filming be added? 

message: These folks were listed in the closing credits but not the opening title cards.
* Robert Brown as Admiral Hargreaves, Flag Officer, Submarines of Royal Navy
* Marilyn Galsworthy as Stromberg's Assistant: Treacherous secretary who steals the tracking system microfilm. In the novelisation of the film, her name is said to be Kate Chapman.
* Milton Reid as Sandor, a Stromberg's henchman
* Cyril Shaps as Bechmann
* Milo Sperber as Markowitz
* Albert Moses as Barman
* Rafiq Anwar as Cairo Club Waiter
* Felicity York, Dawn Rodrigues, Anika Pavel, and Jill Goodall as Arab Beauties
* The Egyptian Folklore Group
* Jeremy Bulloch  plays one of the members of the H.M.S. Ranger, captured British submarine.
At the very least I think Milton Reid should be added. I came here to find out who the actor was that played one of the henchmen and I was surprised to find that it was not listed.  Peacetype (talk) 18:36, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

message: "We'd need a source, but" Valerie Leon's little cameo as the hotel receptionist who brings Bond a message is an almost direct repeat of a similar part which she played in "The Italian Job", in which she gives Michael Caine a message at the desk as he arrives. On the other hand, a receptionist is shown gazing dreamily at Connery in, I think, "Thunderball".Paulturtle (talk) 18:49, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
