 * This is the eleventh Bond film, the fourth with Roger Moore in the lead role.
 * Moonraker was made to the success of films such as Star Wars to be able to match.
 * The laboratory of Drax in Venice has an electronic lock that opens with the same tune as in the greeting of the spaceship in the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)"
 * Jaws has also been seen in The Spy Who Loved Me.
 * Bernard Lee played the character M for the last time.
 * This is the second film in which Bond in the opening scene a parachute used. The valscène was recorded in very short shots, because the stunt men after a few seconds, their coats had to alter to their hidden parachutes to open quickly.
 * Moonraker is parodied in many television series and films, including The Simpsons, Austin Powers 2 and in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine .
 * Moonraker was taken up in France, Great Britain, Italy, United States, Brazil and Argentina.
 * Christopher Wood wrote a book based on the movie Moonraker. Because a lot of the film differed from the original book by Ian Fleming, the book seems of Wood too little on that of Fleming.
 * Tom Mankiewicz has previously already written the script for Moonraker . This script was not used. Portions of that script are later used for other Bond films, including the messengooiende twins for Octopussy and for the Eiffel Tower scene for A View to a Kill .
 * Moonraker would originally be made after On Her Majesty's Secret Service .
 * Already in 1955 has sold the film rights for Moonraker Fleming to a UK company, namely, Rank Organisationfor £ 10,000. Four years later he bought the rights back again, without Rank had done what ever with the story.
 * Lois Chiles (Dr. Holly Goodhead) was been asked before to in The Spy Who Loved Me to play the role of Anya Amasova. She has then refused because they, for personal reasons, had temporarily halted her career.
 * The story of the film has barely what to do with the novel. In the novel wished Drax with a rocket to bomb London, while he was in the movie from a space-station wants to destroy humanity.
 * Hugo Drax is a Naziin the novel while he was in the film dreams of a superras (though not on racist grounds, but rather on beauty ideals).
 * In the novel tries to kill Bond and Gala Drax Fire by them under the outlet of the taping: in the film Moonraker happens this also, though the Moonraker here no rocket but a space shuttle.
 * Even the name of the Bond girl does not match: in the movie is called them Holly Goodhead and Gala in the novel fire.
