Walken on the Web - The Christopher Walken Fan Site: 'A View to a Kill' Page 2

The Remy-Julienne Stunt Team from France did many of the stunts in this movie, but in the San Francisco segment, a scene in which Roger Moore was supposed to be driving a fire truck, the stunt driver was too short to reach the pedals and properly operate the truck. There wasn't much time to 'rig' the truck so Roger Moore volunteered to drive it himself, quite expertly as noted by the local San Francisco Teamsters. Roger Moore claims he was a lorry driver among other things before his acting paid the bills.

Max Zorin's henchmen and henchwomen were Dr. Mortner, May Day, Scarpine, Pan Ho and Jenny Flex. Max Zorin is the only leading Bond villain in the series to ever have an acknowledged sexual relationship with a henchwoman (May Day).

The disclaimer, "Neither the name Zorin nor any other name or character in this film is meant to portray a real company or actual person" was added after producers discovered a real company known as Zoran Ladicorbic Ltd. Their industry was fashion design.

This is the only James Bond movie to have the title from an Ian Fleming work be amended or changed in some way. The source title which is from the "For Your Eyes Only" collection of short stories was called "From a View to a Kill". This was also this movie's working title but the word "From" was dropped three months before filming in May 1984.

The literal translations of some this film's foreign language titles include include Moving Target (Italy); Dangerously Yours (Canada & France); A Panorama To Kill (Spain); Dangerous Mission (Belgium); Operation: Moving Target (Greece); In The Face of Death (West Germany); Murder In The Eyes (Hebrew/Israel); The Beautiful Prey (Japan); Living Target (Sweden); 007: In The Aim Of The Assassins / The Preview To A Death (Latin America); 007 In The Target Of The Assassins (Portugal and Brazil); 007 And A View Of Death (Finland) and Agent 007 In The Line Of Fire (Denmark)
