- The idea of Bond fixing up his tie while underwater, was conceived by Pierce Brosnan.
- The World is Not Enough is the first bond film to show the "James Bond Will Return" line at the beginning of the closing credits, rather than at the end.
- The film's title is Bond's family motto, The World Is Not Enough, or "Orbis non sufficit" in Latin.
