 There are three parallels in the film to the earlier James Bond  movie _For Your Eyes Only (1981)_ (qv). These occur during the  beginning of the film. Koskov is being detained and debriefed during  lunch, he mentions Gogols dislike for the new policy of détente. At  the end of _For Your Eyes Only (1981)_ (qv), Bond throws the ATAC  off of the mountain and tells Gogol "Thats détente General, You  dont have it, I dont have it". In the kitchen of the very same  building is a parrot that has a striking resemblance to Max, the  Havelocks parrot from _For Your Eyes Only (1981)_ (qv). During the  lunch, Koskov says of Pushkin, "We were once like brothers". In  _For Your Eyes Only (1981)_ (qv), Kristatos also uses the same line  when speaking about Columbo.
