[Double-Oh-Zero]

Spotted a few while watching GF last night:

When Bond is having brandy and cigars with M and Col. Smithers, watch the Colonel's cigar hand. When he says: "...Goldfinger poses to be...no, that's not fair, is, a legitimate..." In the middle of that, his hand goes from being on the table, to near his mouth.

When Bond drops the bar of gold on the golf green, it bounces. Same with when he throws it at Oddjob.

Isn't it ironic Bond found the exact right key to open Goldfinger's suite, without even really looking at it? While we're at it, why would someone install a mirror in an alley? Goldfinger must get lots of trespassers going down that particular back alley.

Watched DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER today and wondered:

Is it likely that Bond would be carrying a mousetrap in his jacket's inside pocket just on the offchance that a baddie wanted to put his hand in there?

Would Tiffany Case really have a (frankly enormous) fingerprint ID machine in her closet purely to check Peter Franks' prints?

Not sure about this, but I thought:
In the Goldeneye opening-sequence when Bond is fighting with the pilot of the airplane and they both fall out onto the runway, Bond is suddenly wearing gloves as he picks up the Cagiva motorcycle. He wasn't wearing them before..

In TND, after Wai Lin and Bond shower (he's washed her hair, she says), she locks him to the spiggot. She steps away and shop lifts a shirt. Her hair is completely dry. Same with Bond a few moments later.

In YOLT, I'm told, Bond heads into the Sumo Wrestling ring to meet Aki. According to a Japanese fan I met, the sign over the door actually says something like "Hair Salon".

In MR, Corinne is being chased by Drax's nasty killer dogs in the forest. We can see her socks/sandles/whatever when she had clearly been wearing stockings and heels in the preceeding scene.

In TLD, the famous one about Bond hitting a tourist with his car at Key West airport (or was that in TLD in Tangers). Either one, he drops his rental car at the main entrance of an international airport without returning the car.

In GE's pre-credit-sequence, when Bond enters the nerve-gas-facility, he comes up through a hatch in the floor, then leans against the wall. Notice how this supposed-to-be-solid concrete wall bends under Bond's weight.

Still in GE, MI-6 headquarters, when Bond an Moneypenny enter the elevator, you can get a good look at the crew, who mirror in the elevator doors.

And something else in GE, maybe not a true blooper but anyway, I always wonder how those poor russian policeman can get out of their car well and alive, after Bond has overrun it with the tank.
(BTW, I love GoldenEye!!!)

In TND, shower-scene with Wai-Lin: She handcuffs Bond to the waterpipe. If you look closely you can see that the handcuffs aren't locked at all. Yet Bond has to tear the pipe in two pieces.

Another on in TND, before Bond and Wai-Lin jump down from Carver's building. Both are tied together. Together, they jump out of an winfow and we can see Bond pull close a toolkit, certainly to untie both of them. Anyway, in the next scene, Bond and Wai-Lin jump. Them using the toolkit obvisously has been cut.

And there are still more bloopers out there...

In the Living Daylights, when Bond infiltrates Whittaker's 'Lair', it's the dead of night. But when he knocks out the guard it's broad daylight.
In Goldfinger, when Oddjob decapitates the statue, look at the statue's arm. It seems to jump back on!
In TMWTGG, when Nick-Nack (embarassingly) throws wine bottles at Bond, the glass smashes but there's no wine seen! What's the point of so many empty wine bottles?

In Dr. No, when Bond is beating up "Mr. Jones", at the end in one shot he pulls back with his right hand, and then it cuts and Bond hits him with a left.

Also the steering wheel changes color during the close up of the speedometer, just a few minutes before the scene listed above.

There are tons more from the films, but I don't feel like posting more right now.
