Bond mistakes:
zeki
Dr. No
A car chase early on has a cutaway to the speedometer of the villain
pursuing Bond, of a dashboard totally and obviously different to the actual
one on the car, and the director knew it, but they were low budget and had
no choice, but felt that if the scene was working (it does) nobody should
really be stopping to notice such things. Still.....
When the black guy gets cut by the bottle he has a lot of blood on his face
and the rag. The next scene he's fine with no blood.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Diamonds are Forever
The famous car chase ends with Bond's car tipping up on its right wheels to
fit through a pedestrian path. However, when it emerges the other side, it's
tipped on its left wheels.
Blofeld is played by an actor that is not bald (Blofeld was bald in 2
previous episodes). He is also played by Charles Gray, who played the part
of one of the good guys in You Only Live Twice.
During the car chase scene through Las Vegas, you can see the crowds lining
the streets to watch the filming, yet in some of the street scenes there are
no crowds.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thunderball
When 007 is diving and fights with some divers his diving mask changes
colour from blue to orange.
When James Bond is fighting underwater with an opponent, the opponent rips
off James' diving mask (which is blue). Then James rips another mask off off
another opponent who is lying dead on the ocean floor. This dead opponent's
mask is black. James puts on the black mask and then he turns around and the
mask is blue again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Blofeld is played by Telly Savalas. In a previous "episode" of James Bond,
Blofeld had met James Bond and had ordered him killed, yet in OHMSS, when
Bolfeld meets James Bond, he doesn't recognise him.

For Your Eyes Only
When he goes into the hotel room, you can hear a shower running. The shower
stops, and about 2 seconds later the girl comes out wearing only a towel,
however she is completely dry.
When Bond and company attack Kristato's warehouse, it is in the middle of
the night, however as Bond runs up the stairs to chase the escaping bad guy,
he reaches the top in broad daylight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Licence to kill
007 receives a lighter from Felix and Della, when he uses it and the flame
is big, in the beginning and the end, you can see a tube is connected to the
lighter and the tube goes into his suit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Goldeneye
When Bond and Natalia eject from the helicopter, you can clearly see two
white parachutes, but when the capsule lands, in two scenes you see the
parachutes being red and white.
James Bond does his bungee jump down a dam that looks like it's in the
beginning of spring, but when he emerges from the factory, it is dead winter
with no dam in site, since they are on a mountaintop.
In the scene where Bond rushes about Saint-Petersburg, Russia, his tank
running up the monument (the stone rider with sword in his hand and on the
winged horse). That monument has never existed in Saint-Petersburg.
When the dead admiral falls out of the closet on the boat the morning after
Xenia kills him, and James Bond opens the closet door, as he's falling he
has a straight face and eyes looking straight ahead, but after he lands and
it shows his face, his eyes are looking upwards and he's grinning.
The giant radio dish in Cuba is actually Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.
It could not be filled with water like it was in the movie.
When James Bond and his female companion are slipping down the giant radio
dish (Arecibo observatory), they slide. In real life, they would have fallen
through the dish.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tomorrow Never Dies
In the scene where the ship is being confronted by the Japanese Migs and is
attacked by the Stealth Boat an alarm sounds on the ship and all the sailors
in the mess hall leave and go to their battle stations. A few shots later
when the drill hits the ship and water rushes in it shows three or four
sailors in the mess hall getting hit by the rushing water.
When Bond and the Asian girl have jumped out of the window, they the banner
to escape and rip it. A few shots later we can see the banner and it's not
ripped.
After 007 and Michelle Yeoh escaped their enemies they take a shower. Pierce
Brosnan is bare-chested. How could he get rid of his shirt when they are
handcuffed together?
The helicopter, in the motorbike scene, does a strafing in a narrow road.
That's absolutely impossible, as either some cloth would get clogged into
the main rotor, or it would hit something and break. But that doesn't matter
much, as the 'copter is going too slow to be tilted at that angle anyway.
Towards the end, Bond fires with a silencer but the shot is much louder than
it should.
In one scene the Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh jump off the top of a
building. They are handcuffed together and used a banderole as to soften the
fall. However the did not make it to the ground and had to do a "Die Hard"
trough the a window. They both jump through each a window, but there is some
kind of post between the two windows. How could they get through when they
are cuffed together?

It's a predawn raid - the sun comes up during the battle. You can see it
getting progressively lighter as Bond pursues Locque up to the clifftop.

Of course not. That's not a blooper - just them adding something for Bond
to wreck.

Rico.
Hardly a blooper.

It breaks if you look closely enough.
Try these:
DR NO:
The reactor overloads when the control rods are put into it (in reality
this would *stop* the reaction!)
GOLDFINGER:
Why does Goldfinger explain his plans to the gangsters when he's just going
to kill them anyway?
There's a Korean guard in the final plane fight who's part has been cut but
who is still visible in some shots.
MOONRAKER:
When Corinne runs into the woods she's wearing flimsy shoes, but the next
shot has her in big boots.
A VIEW TO A KILL:
May Day jumps off the third stage of the Eiffel Tower, but in long shot
from the ground it's clearly someone jumping off a platform at the very
top.
THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS:
Tim hits a pedestrian with the car when he draws up in front of the hotel
in Tangier.
Ryan Robbins
Most of these mistakes aren't mistakes at all. And why do people
insist that Carver's banner is not ripped in shots after Bond and
Lin jump? It is ripped.
Who cares if a statue doesn't exist?
Get a life!!!!
