There have been many bond movie mistakes like the fight scene in The Man With The Golden Gun..... (in the dancers dressing room) before the bald man is hit over the back with the chair you can see a pillow in his jacket.OR in Live and Let Die (in the pre-title scene) when the cacasion man is tied up on the cross, the man holding the snake holds it in different ways when the camera switches angles....


what mistakes have you found??

[Kingdom Come]

Something to watch out for - Moonraker - Bond enters Moneypenny's office, when Bond closes over door, on the other side u can just about see a hand making sure door will stay shut, its VERY brief - have a look...

[ray t]

i suppose you're refering to mistakes of a technical nature?

there have been so many that i wouldnt know where to start.

Thunderball, one of my absolute favorites, is riddled with them. yet i'd rather not focus on such minutae

why ruin the experience? afterall these movies were meant to be enjoyed a few times on the big screen, not watched endlessly on dvd to be criticized 138 ways-to-sunday...

o well:)

[Kingdom Come]

The earlier films maybe not the latter ones.

[Kingdom Come]

Other mistakes I've seen are; all of Tomorrow Never Dies [bar Klienman's titles] Licence To Kill was a mistake from start to finish.

[DLibrasnow]

Well one mistake in TND is that Bond fires the weapons on the jet while it is still on the ground in the pretitles, but in actual fact this is not possible!

[jaws007]

The Pre-Title sequence from GE. When Bond files off in the plane, There is no trace of the dam. Also, it must have snowed while Bond was in the Facility

[DLibrasnow]

When the cargo plane is taxiing on the runway in TLD the cargo door is dropped down and Kara drives up the ramp.
As covered in the "Inside The Living Daylights" DVD documentary this is impossible, cargo planes are unable to drop their cargo doors when they are taxiiing. To film this, the ramp that Kara drives up is actually the back door of a furniture truck.

[CommanderBond]

in the fight in the gypsy camp when karim gets shot you can see him rub the fake blood on himself.

[Qwerty]

From Russia With Love- When the SPECTRE guard says "At the lake" , his mouth is really saying, "At the pool."

Thunderball- Leiter's pants change to shorts from shot to shot when Bond is underwater looking at the plane.

You Only Live Twice- When Blofeld shoots Osato, the cat falls to the ground, in the next shot, it is gone.

Moonraker- You can see a wire holding Roger Moore, in one shot of the weightless scene.
When the guard throws a knife at Franco, the sliding knife holder is up, when the knife thrower is killed by Bond, it has somehow fallen back.

Octopussy- I started a thread about this a long time ago, when Magda says to Octopussy, "Back to India", her lips are saying something else.

A View To A Kill- You can see the wire pulling the car into the lake.

That's just a few....

[DLibrasnow]

In DAD during the swordfight....when Graves gets injured you can clearly tell that he is holding a piece of red string to simulate the injury.

[Kingdom Come]

Querty, when Magda says "Back to India" she originally says "Back of course".

[CommanderBond]

the imfamous car on two wheels sceen in DAF

[CommanderBond]

in dr.no Felix's suit changes colour between the first and second shot

[CommanderBond]

in FRWL When JB is driving the white flower truck and it is being bombed with grenades from the helicopter the truck gets smoke blackened, but when he arrives at the speedboat all the smoke has gone

[CommanderBond]

In FRWL When Bond is being led into the Bazaar in Istanbul spot the crowd being held behind a barrier

in moonraker The female helicopter pilot is showing Bond the Drax empire from above. She is wearing a head-set. Next shot, her hair has been made up,and the head-set is gone.


in DAF When Bond is using Bert Saxby's voice while talking to Blofeld on the phone, Blofeld tells "Bert" to get rid of Willard Whyte. Since Bond is posing as Bert, Bert never got this order. So why does Bert show up at Willard Whyte's to kill him?

[CommanderBond]

got the last one from www.movie-mistakes.com

[Righty007]

CommanderBond, couldn't you of just posted all of those together in one post?

Not a mistake. The plane was obviously modified by the terrorists.

Not a mistake. Bond obviously travelled a great distance within the facility. We don’t see this travel for the same reason we don’t see how Bond got to Cuba from Hong Kong in Die Another Day, it just doesn’t make exciting movie footage. Chalk that up to editting.

Not a mistake. Another modified plane.

Not a mistake. Anyone watching the film can clearly see that the car tips from one set of wheels to the other set while the camera is in close-up on Bond and Tiffany.

Not a mistake. The force of the wind from driving obviously blew the smoke dust from the truck.

Not a mistake. Obviously another SPECTRE member told Bert that he had been ordered to kill Whyte.

[CommanderBond]

i know i could have put them all together but i forgot i could edit the quote i had

technicaly it was a mistake but they fixed it in the editing process

[Qwerty]

Okay, I said there'd be more....

Dr. No- The address of Miss Taro's house, changes from 239 Magenta Drive to 2317 drive (or something like that.)

Thunderball- The goggles on Bond change from black to red, after they have been pulled off by Largo.

You Only Live Twice- In the bath sequence, Tanaka says something to his girls in Japanese to order them to wash him, but his lips are not saying it. (Obviously an overdub.)

From Russia With Love- Martine Beswick's credit. (changed to Martin)
- And, of course the shower.

Thunderball- The wound changes from right to left leg on Connery.

Live And Let Die- '007' on that Tarot cards. (although more of an observation.)

[CommanderBond]

Live And Let Die- '007' on that Tarot cards. (although more of an observation.)



they may have been like that on purpose or at least thats what i think because i was gunna put that down but i thought Mister Asterix
would disagree with me once more.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

After the golf game in GF, you can clearly some of the crew and equipment reflected on the Rolls Royce while Bond is talking with Goldfinger.

In TB, during the Q scene, Q turns away and says "Now here's something we're particularly proud of..." or something to that effect. You can obvioulsy tell that it was edited in, as his lips don't move as he turns around. Or he was using that nifty-keen voice gizmo from DAF.

In TSWLM, when Bond is following Jaws through the pyramids at night, Bond waits behind a wall and Jaws passes him without noticing. If you look closely during the long shot, Bond doesn't move at all. If you look even closer, you'll notice it's just a matte painting of Bond put into the shot. Sneaky, that. It's actually mentioned in the DVD.

According to the novelization, that is actually a wire that was connected to the sword to signal when someone got a point

GE-when he shoots the motorcyclist that is chasing him on the plane, he is not wearing golves, but when he gets on the bike, he has black gloves on.

TND-after the stealth boat blows up, the chain holding Wai Lin under-water is still taunt

TWINE-During pre-titles, when Bond shoots the two torpedos from the Q-Boat, he first the top one first, then it cuts to a long shot, then he fires from the top one again, with the bottom one gone.

[kevrichardson]

Neal Purvis and Robert Wade !

[homerjbond]

In DAD, when Madonna started talking...

[CommanderBond]

in goldfinger When the plane is plummeting at the end of the movie, you can actually see the strings used to film the sequence with a miniature plane.

also in goldfinger The Falcon pick-up truck Oddjob drives has whitewall tires on it when it takes the crushed Lincoln, but it has blackwall tires when it reached its destination

got those from www.universalexports.net

[Kara Milovy]

In DAD, Graves holds up the diamond Bond profers, looks at it and says "absolutely flawless." This cannot be determined by the naked eye, as anyone with any education in diamonds knows!

[CommanderBond]

(in the man with the golden gun) At the begining of the film the gangster screws a silencer on his gun, but when he fires the sound effect is for an unsilenced gun

[Bondian]

In the pre-title sequence of FYEO you can clearly see the Helicopter Pilots head-set in the location shots, but in the Studio shots the Pilot's headset are not seen.

In DAD when JB takes the glasses from the Guy he's going to immitate and put's them onto his own face, he is not wearing them on the helicopter. This could of been a time lapse edit of course!.

James Bond in DAD is surfing in front of a Nintendo 64 Gameboy Green Screen.
