Gadgets & Weapons | Special Notes | The basis for this film set Bond history: This was the last appearance of Felix Leiter in this continuity of the franchise, who is crippled by being fed to a shark. The crippling of Felix in is taken fairly accurately (beyond the surrounding story) from the book Live and Let Die. This was also one of the few times when an actor who had played Felix previously returned to the role, another link with Live and Let Die. | The character of Milton Krest comes from the short story The Hildebrand Rarity, one of the collection of stories found in the For Your Eyes Only collection. Other stories in this collection include From A View To A Kill, Quantum of Solace and Risico. |
