Trivia[]
- Anya is initially an antagonist in the movie, but not a villain because she wasn't evil but wanted to kill Bond, the protagonist, for killing her lover.
- Although she doesn't mention her by name, Anya makes a reference to the death of Tracy Bond. This is the first time a Bond girl (or, indeed, any character) has referenced the lead Bond girl from an earlier film. Anya's reference also serves to, for the first time, confirm that Roger Moore's films take place in the same (or a similar) continuity as that of at least one of his predecessors.
