<P> At the Rio de Janeiro location , many months later , Roger Moore arrived several days later than scheduled for shooting due to recurrent health problems and an attack of kidney stones that he had suffered while in France . After arriving in Rio de Janeiro , Moore was immediately whisked off the plane and went straight to hair and make - up work , before reboarding the plane , to film the sequence with him arriving as James Bond in the film . Sugarloaf Mountain was a prominent location in the film , and during filming of the cable car sequence in which Bond and Goodhead are attacked by Jaws during mid-air transportation high above Rio de Janeiro , the stuntman Richard Graydon slipped and narrowly avoided falling to his death . For the scene in which Jaws bites into the steel tramway cable with his teeth , the cable was actually made of liquorice , although Richard Kiel was still required to use his steel dentures . </P>
