[Daddy Bond]

My wife caught a minor mistake in CR (a very minor one).

In the scene where Vesper is lying tied up on the road and Bond flips that gorgeous car (I think he made the wrong choice by the way - just kidding) - in the scene where the car is begins to flip Vesper is lying on the left side of the road (according to the direction the car is traveling in) - she is to the left of the center line. In the long shot where the car is flipping over and over, the girl is clearly lying on the right side of the road (to the right of the center line). You can see this even in the trailer if you want to review this.

I did notice a few apparent continuity mistakes which were in fact the result of scenes being cut out. For example, the disappearance of the laptop Bond was using sitting on the yacht talking to M at the end of the movie. This can be explained however by the omission of the scene where Bond launches the computer into the canal. Very surprised by this cut... they could have had a great opportunity for another close-up of the Sony Vaio logo

[SecretAgent007]

In the opening scene after the titles, when the camera is shooting the building that Le Chiffre and Mr. White are in, you can see the tops of a lot of pine trees in the background. Pretty sure pines are not that common in the rainforest/jungle.

[MR. BOND 93]

In the Miami International scene, Carlos (the terrorist) activates the sprinklers and runs outside to the runway. Bond is going after him and M is saying something to Bond on the phone in his hand. Once Bond is nearly outside, he gazes outward holding his sleeve up to his mouth as if he just said something then after that he is holding the phone to his ear with the same hand.

This could easily be explained, but it just looked really awkward.

In the tanker bit, I'm pretty sure the police shoot out all 4 sets of tyres. Yet the scene continues for some time after that, and those tyres look pretty intact to me

I thought they only shoot out the back 2

Hmmmm... you could be right. I can't actually remember. This possibly does not count as a mistake

[CommanderBond]

the tire scene was the biggest one i spotted ..and they only blew out the back ones

[the villain's architect]

Hi there, from today on Germany is part of the CR audience, too!
I saw the movie just now and all I can say is I loved it and I'm overwhelmed by Craig's performance! As well as by the complete CR crew, even though the German synchronisation annoyed me in parts. Can't wait to see the original version next time I'm in Belgium.

But this seems to be the thread of the nitpickers, and I was disturbed by two little things, too:

1. During the shower scene, you see that Bond's hands have many wounds from the stairwell fight. However, at the Poker table they seem quite free from those wounds. He looks a little too dapper for a man who just fought for his life. Same for Vesper when she comes back, no?

2. An agent with a licence to kill seems to have no need to know how to re-animate people. Everyone who can drive a car normally knows that you have to put the head in the nape (sorry for my bad English) before you start with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
OK, it was too late anyway, but it was like he didn't really try. Her chest did not even expand when he puffed.

During the car chase, as presented onscreen, it seems highly unlikely that the baddies would have been able to stop, position Vesper in the middle of the road and clear off before being caught up by Bond the way he was gaining on them.

Yes, but a little insert of what they do (without actually showing that Vesper will be the obstacle on the road) would have helped to make it more plausible.

The date and time of the text message shown as being sent to Carlos in Miami are exactly the same as the details of the message sent to Mollaka. In theory it should be a couple of days later.

[delfloria]

Now you have ruined the entire film for me as well as the rest of the series. After all, films like Thunderball never had a single goof.

[Flash1087]

That struck me as odd too. It could be that all the main members of the Ellipsis project recieved the text message at once and had a certain timeframe with which to complete their assigned tasks; ie Mollaka had to accomplish his that day, whereas it would be telling Carlos his part is to be accomplished within the next few days.

Does that make any sense?

[Xenia_bondfan]

I have one.
when bond types in his password at the casino, it clearly does not spell vesper, as he uses the numbers 5 and 4, and no letter on those numbers are in vesper...

[stamper]

Bond is a trick guy, he typed one password, then changed it, so that the onlookers are confused.

[DamnCoffee]

In miami airport, bond goes to take his coat off and the next scene he has it back on.

Amen.

And as for the badd'uns having time to throw Vesper on the road, they managed it in the novel didn't they? Plus I think the point is that it took Bond, and so us, by surprise.

And ya know? He must have been in love, otherwise he made the wrong choice.

[RITZ]

Anyone notice when Bind gets the keys to the Aston Martin he steps and doesn't close the door. He fumbles around in the envelope, makes a quip about how he "loves M" or something, bends forward to check the gun concealed in the glovebox and then when Bond sits back into his chair - by magic - the door is shut!

[Vauxhall]

And as for the badd'uns having time to throw Vesper on the road, they managed it in the novel didn't they?

Actually no. In the novel, Bond's car crash was caused by metal chains being left across the road thus spiking and puncturing the tires.

[DamnCoffee]

Why couldn't Vesper move in the road?, surely she could have rolled over onto the grass?

I suppose that she was tied up so tightly that it was difficult for her to move at all. Also, depending on your point of view about whether Vesper was working with Le Chiffre at this point, she was part of the plan to make Bond crash.

He might be thinking of the Golden Gun scene in the novels where there was a dummy tied to the tracks in place of Goodnight.

(Perhaps - girls tied up in front of oncoming vehicles etc. etc..)

[Pal]

I could have been imagining things but I thought I could see the outline of a special effects knee pad on the left knee of Mr. White just before Bond shoots him.

[Bond#9-GeorgeKemp]

I've got a couple:

1. Bond's face is all cut up from the airport, you can see it in the Bahamas, at dinner on the train but the morning when they go to the Hotel Splendide, his face is fine! These are 2 of the officially released scenes so you can check that one. Unless they're on the train for a few days after dinner, but I doubt that.

2. Just a quick one, on the yacht when Bond sends in his resignation, in the first shot its the black strapped Omega he was sporting at the start of the movie, but by the second shot and after that, its the seamaster with the silver strap.

A nice little one...

Vesper seems to be very alife when Bond reanimates her. At least she is very attracted by how he uses his hands...

She gets stiff nipples... Not that I would mind though..

Yes, I pointed that out in some thread about the trailer.
