• Gary Oldman was considered for the role that Christoph Waltz eventually got.
• James Bond's new car is the Aston Martin DB10.
• Ang Lee, Tom Hooper, David Yates, Danny Boyle, Shane Black, and Christopher Nolan were considered for the director's position before Sam Mendes agreed to return to the role.
• Chiwetel Ejiofor could have played the role of C.
• Filming began on December 8, 2014, and lasted approximately seven months. The film crew worked in Rome, London, Morocco, Austria, and Mexico City.
• The film's title theme, "Writing's on the Wall" performed by Sam Smith, reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, which hadn't happened with a song from the James Bond franchise since 1965.
• The British band Radiohead recorded a song specifically for the film, but the filmmakers ultimately rejected it as "too melancholic".
• During filming in the Moroccan desert, it was necessary to ensure that everyone within a radius of over 30 kilometers was aware that explosions would soon occur. The film crew had to visit all nearby tribes and settlements to notify everyone. During the preparation for and filming of the explosion scenes, local nomads provided security for the surrounding area and also served as guides.
• As Léa Seydoux later recounted, she had a little to drink before her audition for the role, forgot some of her lines, and generally failed the audition. She asked if she could try again the next day, she was allowed, and eventually landed the role of the Bond girl.
• Mexico does indeed have a Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) festival, as depicted at the beginning of the film. On this day, all banks in the country are closed. However, parades like those shown in the film are not held in Mexico.
• The scene of the secret base explosion in Morocco was included in the "Guinness Book of World Records" as the largest staged explosion in the history of cinema.
• Bond drank Polish vodka Belvedere, which was released specifically for the film. One hundred unique 1.75-liter bottles were produced for the film, featuring the MI6 headquarters instead of Warsaw's Belvedere Palace.
