20 Things You Didn't Know About A View To A Kill (1985)

20. A Very Unhappy Paris

Being a iconic location for the film, Paris plays a crucial role in A View To A Kill. To cap off all that the City of Lights has to offer, the filmmakers had planned for May Day (Grace Jones) to base jump off of the Eiffel Tower.

Parachutists, B.J. Worth and Don Caldvedt would perform the jump; however, Worth's jump was satisfactory to complete the scene. Upset that he would not get the opportunity to parachute off the Eiffel Tower, Caldvedt made an unauthorised jump from the structure. This greatly upset the Parisian authorities and called into question whether the Bond production team could continue working there.

Long-time Bond producer, Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli dismissed Caldvedt from the film, which tentatively ensured that A View to a Kill could wrap up the remaining scenes to be shot there.
