The World Is Not Enough marked the end of one of the biggest era's in James Bond history as it was the final time actor Desmond Llewelyn played gadget master Q after 17 films and 36 years as he went all the way back to the second Bond 1963's From Russia With Love which meant he worked with the first five Bonds in Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan.
In probably one of the eeriest stories out there, Llewelyn gave an interview in November 1999 claiming he wasn't retiring and would continue to work on the James Bond franchise "For as long as the producers want me and the almighty doesn't". Then a month later, he was killed in a car accident on December 19, 1999 at the age of 85.
