John Rhys Davies. I'm surprised it took this long for him to be in a Bond film. He should have had a more long-term presence going forward.
Pushkin's part was originally written for Walter Gotell's familiar Gogol character, who has a cameo at the end. They substituted him with the new character, Pushkin, to bring in a new actor, but it would have been interesting to have seen Bond and M anxious about the idea of now apparently needing to assassinate their old detente ally, Gogol.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

Yup, our first look at John Rhys Davies. One of this film's best points.
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
And only in this by fluke- his part was meant to be played by General Gogol, but Walter Gotell was ill and could only manage a cameo at the end.
You want to dress like Daltons Bond. I rest my case.

Thought you weren't into clothes...
Apart from sneakers, obviously.
What, really. When was this
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Bratislava was in Czeckoslovalia, present day Slolvakia. You'd make a terrible spy!
The backprojection in the car is almost as bad as in Dr. No 8-)

Same difference. All up and over there on a map.

Gives it a certain charm, though...
Well that wouldn’t look nearly as cool...

And the pause in the middle does not help either
