A camouflaged nozzle anchored in Dietzs oral cavity provided the apparatus through which the "vomit" could be forcefully discharged, fed by supply tubes discreetly embedded in the plexiglass on both sides of her face.

70s & 80s James Bond movies); scenes of partial full-frontal male & partial full-back male nudity. And yet this movie still garnered a PG rating in the USA (the PG-13 rating did not exist in 1980) and similar PG ratings in many other territories and appears to have never run into any serious censorship classification problems. Interestingly, in Canada, this movie is rated G, PG and AA in three different Canadian regions: Quebec, Manitoba and Ontario respectively.
d.
As the lunar module lands on the moon, Aldrin is shown on the left side, which is the Command position, with Armstrong on the right side. This is the reverse of how they were in reality. Furthermore, Armstrong is shown clapping Aldrin on the arm and calls him "Commander". In the end credits all three Apollo XI astronauts are named Commander (a military rank none of the astronauts held -Collins and Aldrin were Air Force colonels). The upshot is that in this fictionalised version of Apollo XI, Aldrin commanded the mission and landed the craft, while Neil Armstrong still makes the historic first walk on the Moon. With the roles reversed, Buzz Aldrin had actually campaigned internally within Nasa for this to be how the mission took place; i.e. that with Armstrong being in command, it would be Aldrin to make the first exit through the door. The films reorganisation of the positions and ranks may have been made at Aldrins suggestion, since he was involved in the picture.
