 According to the  _Inside The Man with the Golden Gun (2000) (V)_ (qv) documentary  on the DVD version of this movie, during production on the fifth  James Bond film _You Only Live Twice (1967)_ (qv), producers  Albert R. Broccoli (qv) and Harry Saltzman (qv) had originally  intended for this film to be the sixth entry in the Bond series. It  was to be shot in Cambodia and Roger Moore (I) (qv) was considered  to fill Sean Connery (qv)s shoes as the second James Bond.  However, the Vietnam War caused the producers to change plans and  pick _On Her Majestys Secret Service (1969)_ (qv) as the sixth Bond  film instead.
