In Live & Let Die - M goes to Bond's home and on seeing him, fails to recognise that Bond has changed his features yet again.

Actually, in a deleted scene, it is revealed that James Bond and Dr. Who both share the same plot device when it comes to recasting the lead roles.

You know in the Spy Who Loved Me, how could Stromberg cancel the money transfer when he's just blown up the helicopter carrying the CASH?.

CommanderBond.
Dr Who is a 60's Brit Series based on a time traveller who's space ship is an old London Telephone Box that has a normal exterior but inside is very large. Yes, I know it does sound crazy that's probably why he has a 'who' rather than a 'what' as a surname.

He faced many crazy monsters like a 'Dalek' (a sort of cross between an English Mini Cooper and a rounded ventillator). The catch phrase was 'E-X-S-T-E-R-M-I-N-A-T-E. It was mainly filmed to entertain people in either a refuge or a funny farm. LOL.

In fact there is an up-to-date film version starring the Brother of Rolf Fiennes that certainly makes entertaining viewing. It would be available in Virginia if you visit your local Blockbusters.


Cheers CommanderBond,


Ian

Indeed, you can see the wire helping Stamper hold the chained Wai Lin at arms length when talking to Brosnan before she goes underwater.

Because the cash wasn't on the helicopter. He transferred the payment via computer to the two scientists' Swiss bank accounts. :)

In Octopussy, Khan smashes the genuine egg. It was the genuine egg that Bond retrieved at the auction that then had the bug inserted into it by Q in India. This was smashed that then released the bug to Khan.

But Orlov called it the fake egg even though he knew the real one was being retrieved from Bond. And Khan didn't make any attempt to prevent him from smashing it.

Must have been a script or story error.

In The Living Daylights, at the end of the Pre-title scene, the woman on the phone says that nothing exciting happens where she is, yet a jeep full of ammunition blows up mear seconds before.

How is that a movie mistake?

It's just story showcasing irony.

Ah, here's one I forgot to post.

In Thunderball, when Bond asks Fiona Volpe for a lift she says "Sure." However, if you look close enough, you can see that her lips are not moving. (Obviously an overdub.)

One of the biggest mistakes I've seen, surprisingly, hasn't been listed yet. In DAF, at the end where Bond is trying to escape with the airheaded Tiffany Case, her Bikini changes color! Before she starts randomly shooting bullets, her Bikini is Purple and Pink. Afterwards, it is Purple and Brown!

I know it's not that big of a deal, but in LTK, Timothy Dalton's physical characteristics change, from the length of his hair, to his facial structure. One scene, like in the casino, his face is long and slender. But in other scenes, like the "License Revoked," or Tanker Chase scene, his face is more filled, giving him a more debonair appearance.

In DAD, when Jinx was strapped to the Laser table, why was she conscious one minute, and unconscious the next? Also, in the end, when she has the diamonds all over her chest, you don't see the scar that she got when Frost slashed her stomach open.

In GE, in the Grenade pen sequence, Bond knocked the pen out of Boris' hand into the puddle of ???. I've noticed two things wrong with this:
1. There is a windowpane where James knocked the pen.
2. The puddle was across the room, not in front of the command center.

I thought this too a one stage, but she gets cut below her belly button, and this section of her torso is covered by the bedsheet in the end scene.

BTW, bryonalston, try and put all your comments in the one post if you don't mind, or click the edit button to add further thoughts straight away. Thanks.
