M: Gentlemen, this may only be an exercise so far as the Ministry of Defence is concerned. But for me, it is a matter of pride that the 00 section has been chosen for this test. Your objective is to penetrate the radar installations of Gibralter. Now, the SAS has been placed on full alert to intercept you, but I know you won't let me down. Good luck, men.

Trivia
During World War II, SMERSH (Smiert Spionam, death to spies) was a branch of the NKVD (later KGB), the Soviet secret police. The Bond movies, seeking to improve Anglo-Russian relations, eliminate all references to SMERSH except for a one-liner in From Russia with Love and the subplot of this movie. An absurd SMERSH (an independent, non-Soviet criminal entity) appeared in the Bond parody Casino Royale. See more »Goofs
Continuity: During the fight scene between Bond and the assassin when they are hanging behind the airplane, the nets varies in position from hanging far out and hanging just a bit out. See more »Quotes
