The One With… James Bond getting married, and fights Kojak.note Telly Savalas did not play the role of Kojak until after this movie was made, in 1973, but the joke still stands.The sixth James Bond film by Eon Productions, directed by Peter R. Hunt and starring George Lazenby in his only appearance.note His contract was for 7 movies, but he left because his agent thought spy movies were getting outdated, believing hippie movies were the way to go. After a couple of hippie movie flops, Lazenby finally decided he had enough and fired him. Though, technically, while this was his only appearance in the official Bond movie series, Lazenby played Bond three times - the two others being a cameo appearance in the film The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. and an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It came out on December 18, 1969. It is the last Bond film not to have its Title Theme Tune performed by a singer, using a synthesizer heavy theme composed by John Barry instead.One morning on the beach, James Bond rescues a beautiful, but emotionally shattered countess from drowning herself. Her father, the boss of one of Europe's largest organized crime syndicates, befriends Bond and suggests that he might woo her in order to help her deal with her issues. This is pretty sleazy even for Bond, but he agrees anyway because the mafioso has access to information beyond the reach of official organizations and can help him get a lead on the head of SPECTRE, Ernst Stavro Blofeld (played now by Telly Savalas). Blofeld, meanwhile, has developed a biological agent to induce sterility in plants and animals and potentially wipe out entire species, which he will put to use if he is not granted amnesty for all past crimes and an official acknowledgement of his bogus claim to nobility.Easily one of the more low-key Bond films, in large part because it followed the book it adapted more faithfully than the previous instalments. It is one of the few Bond films to boast a prominent love story, with Blofeld's biological warfare scheme providing the backdrop. The Blofeld shown in this film has both a practical goal and a chillingly plausible plan — albeit, a completely over the top execution of said plan ("I have taught you to love chickens!").The film took big strides in giving Bond himself emotional depth, a trend later picked up by the Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig Bonds (in fact, No Time to Die even gives this one a few nods, even reusing John Barry's score).Preceded by You Only Live Twice. There is also a twist Downer Ending and Sequel Hook that is quite unusual for the series. | |

| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Subverted at first; after Bond stops her committing suicide, then bails her out at the casino for the tune of 20,000 francs, she gives him Rescue Sex but it's presented like another form of her self-destructive behavior. However she does eventually fall for him, but it's not certain if Bond returns her feelings until after Tracy pulls her own rescue in Switzerland. Then Bond puts his career on the line to rescue her again, just to seal matters. | |

Scare Chord: There are a few well-placed notes played during Bond and Draco's initial meeting, which heighten up the suspense. Used when Fräulein Bunt pops out from under the sheets after Bond thought he was sneaking up on Ruby Bartlett instead. Cue a Tap on the Head and the screen becoming blurry. The James Bond Theme of all things is used as one at the end. After the tragic ending scene, the serene melody used as background music ends, everything goes quiet for a moment... and then a loud brass arrangement of the James Bond Theme kicks in. | |

| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_1ebbebc5 | comment |
Source Music: "Do You Know How Christmas Trees are Grown" plays in a PA speaker in the background as Bond arrives in Switzerland, and later as Bond evades Blofeld and his men by hiding in the evening crowd. An unnamed, unreleased festival track is heard at several points in the film. Namely when Shaun Cambell watches Piz Gloria from Birg, when Bond knocks an enemy skier off a cliff and when Bond arrives in the village the music in the last scenario was coming from. | |

Ironic Echo: Played for laughs when Bond uses the same seduction lines (about how they're inspiring and he doesn't usually like girls "but you're not usual") on two different girls. Played for drama when Bond calls back to the theme from the Falling-in-Love Montage after Tracy is killed by Bunt and Blofeld at the end. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: When Tracy drives off without thanking Bond for saving her, he says "This never happened to the other fellow," referencing the success Bond usually had with women in the films with Sean Connery in the role. A janitor whistles the theme from Goldfinger, and M discusses with Draco "that bullion job in 1964". The manhunt for Blofeld is called Operation Bedlam, a possible reference to Blofeld going insane in the novels. | |

Instrumental Theme Tune | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_37a6a66a | comment |
Instrumental Theme Tune: Occurs because John Barry didn't think the title could fit in a lyric—at least, not without coming off like Gilbert and Sullivan. Later films simply Take a Third Option by not requiring the movie's title to be in its theme song if it's something extremely awkward to fit in song lyrics. | |

Noodle Incident | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Draco and M are shown treating each other as Worthy Opponents due to that "bullion job in 1964". M mentions that Draco's men "got away with quite a chunk of the haul", so he can't be referring to the events of Goldfinger where none of the gold was stolen, but it's likely a Mythology Gag to the original novel as well as the movie which came out in 1964. At the start of the film, it is stated by M that Bond evidently has not been searching for Blofeld very effectively, ultimately leading to M pulling him off the assignment. Given his general hyper-competence in previous films, it raises the question of what noodle incidents between films occurred to make him somewhat fall from grace like that. An out-of-universe reason is that Bond started having adventures once every two years instead of back-to-back. | |

Bad Boss | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: During the second ski chase, when Bond and Tracy enter an avalanche-risk area, Blofeld causes an avalanche in order to trap them, but he also sends three of his men after them to prevent his targets getting away should that not work. As a result, the avalanche ends up burying his men under several feet of snow. | |

Adaptational Location Change | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_40b98588 | comment |
Adaptational Location Change: In the book, Piz Gloria was established to be in the Engadine region of Switzerland, around St. Moritz and Pontresina, hence its name. In the film, the mountain appears to be set in the canton of Bern, as its mountainous neighbour is Birg. Bond proposes to Tracy while eating breakfast in a Swiss airport with her in the book. In the film, he pops the question while the two are taking shelter in an alpine barn during a blizzard. In the novel, Tracy is shot and killed in Germany while she and Bond are driving on the Autobahn. This results in their car careering off the road and crashing. In the film, the drive-by shooting occurs while the two are parked at the side of the road in Portugal. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Telly Savalas plays the usually European master criminal Blofeld in his native American accent, much to screenwriter Richard Maibaum's annoyancenote A possible explanation for this is that this Blofeld is an American doubling for the real Blofeld, hence the accent, the lack of a scar and him not recognising Bond at first.: | |

Scenery Porn: They could not have chosen a better place in Switzerland to shoot the alpine scenes if they TRIED. Just WOW. From the helicopter ride to Piz Gloria to the iconic Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau mountain range in the background, the appearance of the country in this film will make you feel disappointed when it stops getting screen time. The Piz Gloria building itself. The views from the full-length windows in the alpine room are nothing short of stunning in full daylight and sunset. The inside is also amazingly furnished, especially the luxury suites for the patients. It's actually a shame when it gets blown up at the end of the film. | |

Bond One-Liner: Bond gets a particularly brutal one when a mook falls into a large snowblower and gets cut to pieces by it: Interestingly, Bond sends a one-liner Blofeld's way ("He's branched off.") after the bobsled scene only to find out later that he wasn't dead (unfortunately it was probably the worst way possible). Bond gets a non-fatal one when he knocks out a Piz Gloria employee and hides him in a ski storage room. Draco gets a non-lethal one too during the Storming the Castle scene. When Tracy refuses to leave the base without James, Draco punches his daughter out to carry her into the helicopter, then jokes with one of the soldiers: | |

Bookends: Bond and his Aston Martin in Portugal driving down the same road, stopping the car each time for Tracy. The first time, he stops the car to save her from drowning. The second time, they're married, discussing their future when she's shot to death. Musically, the beginning of the film when Bond saves Tracy and the end where Bond pursues Blofeld both use similar musical motifs (on the OST, the first track is called "This Never Happened to the Other Fella", while the latter track is called "Bobsled Chase"). On a related note, the movie's choice of using the James Bond Theme as the ending credits theme means that the first and last musical pieces heard in the movie are the James Bond Theme. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: Bond and Blofeld don't seem to recognize each other, even though they met in the previous movie. Even though invoked both being different counts, it happens because the book is set before You Only Live Twice. Originally, it was to be established Bond had plastic surgery done to explain why he doesn't look like Sean Connery anymore. And other movies establish that Blofeld is constantly changing his appearance. | |

Men Don't Cry | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_62663d88 | comment |
Men Don't Cry: Bond is perfectly — indeed, creepily — calm in the final frame. Lazenby's first take had him look up at the camera as normal, but with his eyes glistening and tears marking his face but the director insisted that Bond, a trained killer, is basically dead inside and can't shed a tear even if he wishes. Justified as Bond being in shock, though if you listen carefully, when he turns away and holds Tracy's body close, you can hear him softly weeping just before the "The End" appears on the screen - which is admittedly more effective than actually seeing him crying. This is also in keeping with how Fleming wrote the final scene of the novel, which plays out nearly verbatim in the movie. | |

Draco knows who Bond is (and vice versa) but the Unione Corse has well-known connections with the CIA and the French intelligence service, both of whom Bond has worked with. Averted by Bond adopting the secret identity of "Sir Hilary Bray" rather well, complete with hobbies, personal foibles, insecurities and professional experience. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Also counting as an inversion of Adaptational Curves, Blofeld is portrayed by Telly Savalas, a fairly buff dude. In the books, Blofeld is described as someone whose "muscle has all turned to fat." The bobsled scene and the raid on Piz Gloria occur simultaneously in the book, so Bond doesn't participate in the former raid. In the film, Bond storms Piz Gloria with the Unione Corse in order to rescue Tracy, then pursues Blofeld down the bobsled track as well. Bond is also knocked out by the grenade Blofeld pulls on him during this chase, and he wakes up to the institute exploding. In the film, he bails just before the grenade can hurt him, rolls down the hill and ends up in front of Blofeld, ultimately putting him in a neckbrace thanks to a passing tree. | |

Bond Villain Stupidity | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_7570a10c | comment |
Bond Villain Stupidity: Despite knowing how resourceful and dangerous Bond is, Blofeld decides to keep him alive as he may "prove useful during the negotiations". Of course Bond soon escapes. This is in stark contrast to Blofeld's attitude in the previous film where he killed a beautiful mook for her failure at eliminating Bond. Admitedly, killing Bond would just make things more tense in Blofeld's quest for a pardon so he can become a Karma Houdini. He also specifically mentions that Bond would be an external witness to his activities to verify his claims that he can actually release a "Virus Omega" and is not merely bluffing. | |

Sudden Downer Ending | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_8124e7a6 | comment |
Sudden Downer Ending: The only Bond film to end on a complete downer note until No Time to Die. Even Casino Royale is more upbeat. Bond's defeated Blofeld's evil scheme and got the girl - in fact, for the first time in the 007 series, he's married her. It doesn't last. In the final scene, Bond is driving away from the wedding with Tracy when Blofeld drives by and shoots her dead, and Blofeld and Irma Bunt get off scot-free, with the exception of Blofeld's neck injury. For the first and only time in the whole series, the last thing we see in the whole movie is James Bond looking completely and utterly heartbroken. | |

Where the Hell Is Springfield? | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_8504b817 | comment |
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The In-Universe location of Piz Gloria is quite unclear, other than that it's in Switzerland. As mentioned earlier, the word "Piz" is only used around eastern Switzerland, yet Piz Gloria is surrounded by several names of places in the Bernese Oberland. Tracy, upon finding Bond, tells him that the nearest post office is in Feldkirch, Austria (which would be around 200 kilometers away) and the place they wind up at is a phone box surrounded with Swiss flags. Overall, there are so many contradicting pieces of information on either side about it that it's rather puzzling to think about. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_89434320 | comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Bond is falling in love with Tracy throughout the film, but this does not stop him from sleeping with multiple women, one after the other, when he knows they are being experimented upon and brainwashed. Admitedly, he doesn't actually have his Love Epiphany for Tracy until after that, and he doesn't really know they are being brainwashed, though obviously he's suspicious of the (voluntary) hypnotism, which he only finds out about after he starts sleeping with them (and even then, the hypnotism might not have affected that part of their personality). And being Bond, it was obviously too late by then. One other explanation is that Bond sleeping with Ruby is just him trying to get into a patient's room at a time where no officials can hear them so that he could ask questions such as how she got there, what the clinic is doing, etc, and him spending the rest of the night with Nancy was to distract her from the book she wanted to see, which he'd left in Ruby's room. Him scheduling more meetings with them afterwards is to keep up the act he'd established and nothing else. With Tracy, he's clearly in love. | |

Out-of-Character Moment | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_8ca20b69 | comment |
Out-of-Character Moment: Bond initially refuses to sleep with Tracy at the casino. Justified as he was under the impression that she'd hired a hitman on him and was now denying it, and he then goes through with it anyway when he considers the possibility that she was telling the truth. Later, after escaping Piz Gloria and trying to stay one step ahead of Blofeld's men, he's startled by the sight of a man dressed up as a polar bear. Also justified, as his nerves were probably shot at the time and he calms down immediately after registering what he's seeing. Subverted after proposing to Tracy while hiding in a barn. He at first refuses to sleep together with her and orders her to sleep on the hayloft above him citing his "new year's resolution", only to topple said hayloft so that she lands on him, pointing out that it isn't the new year yet. Finally, he refuses Draco's dowry. Justified as he married Tracy for love and doesn't need the money. | |

Sex Equals Love: Invoked. Draco encourages Bond to seduce his daughter because he feels that she needs love and a husband. Even Bond is rather taken aback by this mindset. | |

Grenade Hot Potato: Blofeld brings this on himself after dropping a live grenade into his bobsled during the final chase. As the sled's rapid movement knocks the grenade around in the footwell, Blofeld manages to eventually grab it and throw it into the track just in time, destroying Bond's sled and requiring him to cut off his adversary down the hill and board his sled. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil: Blofeld poses as a Fake Aristocrat and renames himself "Comte Balthazar de Bleuchamp" by having his earlobes surgically removed to back-up his phony claim to the title. Once 007 is in Piz Gloria, he learns that Blofeld secretly plans to contaminate and ultimately sterilize the world's food supply using biological warfare, carried by his brainwashed Angels of Death. Blofeld claimed he would not carry out his plan if all his past crimes were pardoned and he is recognized as the current Count de Bleauchamp. | |

There Are No Therapists: Subverted. Draco asks Bond to seduce and marry his daughter in order to help her deal with her suicidal tendencies and crushing emotional trauma, but Bond points out that that is a ridiculous idea and she needs treatment and a psychiatrist, not sex. Then Bond Double Subverts it by doing it anyway because Draco is offering information on Blofeld. | |

Adaptational Diversity | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_970b51b6 | comment |
Adaptational Diversity: Blofeld's patients were all English and Irish in the novel. In the film, they're of various nationalities, with at least two of them being English. This is possibly to expand the threat of Blofeld's plans, so he's building towards acquiring the means to destroy all life on earth instead of food supplies in the UK/Ireland. | |

Double Take | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_9af54b9d | comment |
Double Take: At the end of the movie. Still alive Blofeld drives by and Irma Bunt attempts assassination on Bond by shooting from a car window. When an infuriated James realises who was in the car, he explains "It's Blofeld!" He gets back in the car and repeats himself, assuming his wife didn't hear him and swiftly looks Tracy's way, then back back to the road... before looking immediately at her again, noticing she's dead. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Perhaps in light of Telly Savalas' previous experience in action and war films, Blofeld as played by him is shown less as the seated, cat-stroking Smug Snake as in previous (and later) films. Here he's a brute, plain and simple. He is shown on skis chasing Bond himself with a few mooks once he escapes Piz Gloria, setting off an avalanche when Bond tries to escape even further and being pretty much an expert bobsledder. Arguably, Bond is more willing to put up a fight than before (perhaps because George Lazenby was considerably younger than other Bond actors at the time of taking the role for the first time, or because he had some legitimate knowledge of martial arts). Some of his hand-to-hand combat in this film is positively vicious, such as when he throws two mooks off a cliff after crashing while skiing away from Piz Gloria. | |

He is killed when Bond's cover is blown and unceremoniously hung upside down from a rock with mountaineering equipment right next to a thin window that Blofeld makes sure to lead Bond past while locking him up. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Tracy's Death Seeker tendencies at the beginning of the film make for a heartbreaking contrast when she is killed at the end of the film when she's at her happiest. The Ominous Music Box Tune use of "Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown" below. "Teresa was a saint." In real life, Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross was sent to Auschwitz and died a martyr in 1942. Tracy died after saving the man she loved. Meta example: The whole resignation from Her Majesty's Secret Service business would mirror Lazenby's decision to quit the series. Also, in the Bond Gun Barrel sequence, George Lazenby got on one knee as he fired the gun. Then, the blood that would normally turn everything red wipes him out of the picture as well. | |

Continuity Nod: After turning in his resignation Bond goes into his office and pulls out of his desk Honey Ryder's belt and knife, Red Grant's garrote wire wristwatch and his own underwater breathing device. A bit of music from each film plays along with the props' appearances. There's also a janitor whistling "Goldfinger". The opening credits feature clips from all the previous films (none featuring Bond himself, of course). | |

Doomed by Canon: Although previous Bond films sometimes deviated wildly from the source material (most notably the previous two films - You Only Live Twice and the unofficial Casino Royale (1967)), in this case the filmmakers decided to stick to Fleming's original tragic ending (though at one point there were plans to have OHMSS end with the wedding and the next film, Diamonds Are Forever, was to have opened with Tracy's murder. | |

Magic Countdown | |

Magic Countdown: The climax features a detonator set to blow up Piz Gloria in 5 minutes. After the fuse is set, the camera cuts to Draco and his men talking for around 10 seconds. When we cut back to the detonator, only 10 seconds have passed, as it should have. Cut to Bond chasing Blofeld out of the complex, then Draco forcing Tracy into a helicopter for around 20 seconds. OK, now 2 minutes have passed on the detonator. Now only 10 seconds remain before the explosion. Five seconds later, Draco counts down from five to mark the explosion. Bond and Blofeld jump out of Piz Gloria several seconds after it is scheduled to blow up. Only a good 10 seconds after the countdown is supposed to be over does the explosion actually happen. | |

Mood Whiplash: The last ten minutes. Made more jarring by the soundtrack, which changes abruptly from a sad reprise of "We Have All the Time in the World" to a loud, brassy version of "The James Bond Theme" as the image freezes on the bullet hole on the windshield and the credits roll. Made all the more perplexing when you consider that there are a couple of slow tracks on the soundtrack album (for example, "We Have All The Time In The World" has a slower, more melancholy-sounding strings arrangement that would have worked nicely with the credits). | |

Karma Houdini: Irma Bunt is the person who actually kills Tracy and she is never seen again in this or any other Bond film, which means that the murderer of Bond's wife got away with it completely. A case of Real Life Writes the Plot, the actress Ilse Steppat died mere days after the film's release. The comics ultimately rectified this, by having her show up again and be killed off. | |

Just Between You and Me | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_b26cc887 | comment |
Just Between You and Me: Justified. Just for once Blofeld actually has a sensible reason for keeping the captured Bond alive and explaining the plot to him: Bond's credibility will lend weight to Blofeld's threat to the United Nations. Blofeld is also careful to withhold how he intends to deliver the Omega virus, and Bond only discovers this part when he overhears it after his escape. | |

An Asskicking Christmas: This is the only James Bond film to also take place during Christmas, or at least to overtly reference taking place during Christmas, as there's many visible Christmas decorations through it. For bonus points it has a Downer Ending. | |

Intimate Psychotherapy | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_b6a868f1 | comment |
Intimate Psychotherapy: Invoked by Draco, who thinks his daughter just needs a strong man to dominate her and make love to her. Bond points out she needs a doctor instead — although, In-Universe, Draco's suggested approach actually works (albeit a much more toned-down version of it. Bond marries Tracy out of genuine love, and it's being able to start a new life with the man she loves in return that breaks her out of her suicidal tendencies rather than sex). | |

Acceptable Breaks from Reality | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_b6e1d40b | comment |
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: The skier that Bond sends over a cliff ends up in freefall for fifteen seconds, meaning the cliff would have to be taller than the Empire State building. However, they had to use a dummy for this scene rather than, say, a skier with a parachute, and dummies weigh less than actual people and would therefore fall slower than them. | |

Lost in Translation: Some foreign subtitles translate Bond's One-Liner of "He had lots of guts!" during the second ski chase as "He was very brave". The context to this is that the mook he's referring to had just been shredded to pieces by a patrolling snowblower, resulting in his actual guts being sprayed all over the place. | |

Impostor Forgot One Detail: Bond impersonates Sir Hilary Bray in order to infiltrate Piz Gloria under the guise of a professional, planned visit to verify Blofeld's claims to the title of a count. SPECTRE eventually catches on and stages a trap for him, since the real Sir Hilary Bray would definitely not desecrate the job he's being paid good money to do by waltzing into the guest's bedrooms at night for some Double-0-rated action. Also, the Bleuchamp family crypt was located in St. Anna's Kirche, not in the Habsburg cathedral — which, as Blofeld notes, Sir Hilary should have known. Bond also gets too eager to get Blofeld away from Switzerland (which would allow him to be arrested), suggesting they visit an archive that, as Blofeld points out during this discussion, would be closed over Christmas. | |

Just Plane Wrong: During Bond and Draco's trip to Piz Gloria via helicopter, Draco covers the microphone of his headset to prevent the air traffic controller from hearing him when he talks to Bond. This action is not only unnecessary but also counterproductive. Air traffic controllers cannot hear those in a helicopter unless the radio transmission button is held down. In a noisy helicopter environment, blocking the microphone would only prevent the addressee from hearing what Draco is saying. | |

Gangland Drive-By | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_d46a809e | comment |
Gangland Drive-By: After Tracy rescues Bond, he has her drive him to the nearest payphone so he can alert London about Blofeld's Evil Plan. Unfortunately, a carload of mooks led by Irma Bunt drives up and opens fire on him before he can make the call. This foreshadows Blofeld and Irma attempting to kill Bond with a drive-by shooting at the end of the movie; this time Bond is in the car with Tracy (whom he'd just married) and the burst kills her instead. | |

Meta example: The whole resignation from Her Majesty's Secret Service business would mirror Lazenby's decision to quit the series. Also, in the Bond Gun Barrel sequence, George Lazenby got on one knee as he fired the gun. Then, the blood that would normally turn everything red wipes him out of the picture as well. | |

Fraulein Bunt becomes a literal one when she ends up being the one pulling the trigger to shoot Tracy dead in a drive-by shooting (Blofeld was the driver). | |

Drugs Are Bad: Marc-Ange Draco, head of the Unione Corse, the biggest European crime syndicate which commits murder, extortion, theft, sexual slavery, and many, many other crimes. But he's a good guy because he doesn't sell drugs. For the record, it was the Unione Corse that set up The French Connection to smuggle heroin into the United States. | |

Feet-First Introduction: Used for Tracy's Big Damn Heroes moment. Bond is trapped in an ice-skating rink while SPECTRE mooks search through the crowd. Bond is in despair, expecting to be captured again; he sits at a table with his collar up and his head down, hoping to blend in with the other tourists. Suddenly one of the ice skaters comes to a halt right in front of him. Bond looks up from the ice skates past well-formed legs to...a smiling Tracy. | |

Unprocessed Resignation: After being taken off the hunt for Ernst Blofeld, Bond asks Miss Moneypenny to submit his letter of resignation from the British Secret Service to M, his boss. M later hands Bond's letter back to him and, without question, says his wish is granted. Bond is surprised since he thought M would have more of a reaction to him spontaneously leaving. He then checks the paperwork and finds out that Moneypenny knew he was just acting on emotion and instead submitted a request for two weeks' leave instead, which was why M was so unconcerned. | |

Magic Plastic Surgery: While it's not explicitly stated, it's a plausible explanation for Blofeld going from a horribly-scarred Donald Pleasence to a normal-looking Telly Savalas. The sequel openly invokes it to explain why he looks different again there. This was going to be used to explain how Bond had changed from Sean Connery to George Lazenby; fortunately for the long-term survival of the Bond franchise, the producers dropped the idea. | |

Roll in the Hay: Bond and Tracy share some warmth in a barn in a brief hiatus during their escape from Blofeld's goons, and this is where Bond proposes to her. | |

MacGyvering: Bond does this at least twice at Piz Gloria. He uses a document clip, an eraser folded in half and the brass edge from a ruler to open his electric room door. Later, one of Blofeld's patients used an emery board (non-metallic nail file) to sneak into his room. After his cover was blown and he was locked up in a machine room, he pulls out his pant pockets, tearing them off to improvise a pair of gloves that would allow him to grip the cable car lines, aiding in his escape. | |

Brick Joke: The film opens with Q indicating that miniaturization is the way to go with their agent's equipment, using an (actually very practical) piece of radioactive lint as an example. Later in the film Bond has to crack a safe and in order to do so he needs to use a large and cumbersome piece of equipment the size of a big suitcase (although the safecracker also contains a portable photocopier, which is needed to make copies of documents found within the safe). | |

Talent Double: A double was used for Diana Rigg at the ice rink for scenes where she skates as the actress did not know how to skate. For the scenes where Tracy is skiing with Bond and not against a bluescreen, she was doubled by a man wearing a wig. | |

Cut Apart | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_fea60f97 | comment |
Cut Apart: Played with. Caught in a snowstorm, Bond and Tracy park their car in a stable to wait it out. They end up making love watched by a couple of curious horses. Then the next day Blofeld turns up with his men. Cut to the same horses, then the stable doors are forced open to reveal the car is still there...and Bond and Tracy have left using the skis that were strapped to the car roof. Unfortunately, Blofeld is soon on their trail... | |

You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: This marks the only time that Q addresses Bond by his first name. Fittingly enough, it's at his wedding. | |

Death Seeker | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_fff371b4 | comment |
Tracy's Death Seeker tendencies at the beginning of the film make for a heartbreaking contrast when she is killed at the end of the film when she's at her happiest. | |
