Terence Young pays great attention to the truthfulness of the plot of the film. The opening chess game reproduces the chess game of Boris Spassky's victory over David Bronstein in 1960. The art director Sid Kane spent 150,000. The dollar builds a chess setting. The briefcase carefully designed by Q in the film includes tear gas, AR-7 folding sniper rifle, flying knives and 50 gold coins. Yang, who was a boxer at the University of Cambridge, and stunt coordinator Peter Perkins co-designed the fight scene between Grant and Bond. The scene took three weeks to complete. Robert Shaw and Connery completed most of the stunts themselves.
After finishing the filming of the chess contest, the crew moved to Turkey. At the same time, the scene of the Devil Party headquarters was filmed in the main building of Pinewood Studio. On June 6, 1963, in Argyll, Scotland, when the crew was looking for a location to shoot the speedboat chase, the helicopter Yang and the photographer were riding in fell into the water. Fortunately, the crew on board was not in serious trouble and suffered minor injuries. Yang of FireWire still insisted on completing the work of the day.
