Bond introduces himself in his trademark way to Elliot Carver when Bond attends his launch party in Hamburg.
behind the scenes
Michelle Yeoh did almost all her own stunts.
Producer Michael G. Wilson is one of Elliot Carver's subordinates onscreen when Carver tells him to release tapes of the President with a cheerleader.
A crew of 60 worked 22 weeks to complete the full sized set for Carver's stealth boat at Pinewood Studios.
15 BMW 750's were destroyed in the making of the film.
Twice the amount of pyrotechnics where used in Tomorrow Never Dies than in Goldeneye.
Rumours suggest that the original title was supposed to be ‘Tomorrow Never Lies’, however the rumour is that a fax sent with the title of the film was misread as Tomorrow Never Dies and so the name remained. §
