I spotted this ages ago put forgot to post it. In the scene in Thunderball where Mr.Angelo has killed Francois derval and is talking to Fiona Volpe about how he has sarificed 2 years of his life, plastic operations, voice lessons etc I spotted a strange mistake. On leaving the room he says 'au revoir' to which fiona replies 'No, no he always says, ciao.' And proceeds to tell him his cap is too far back on his head. Surely he should have known these things.

Interesting!! Perhaps he never actually met the man! I can't remember, it's been ages since I saw the film! But I remember a few mistakes that I jotted down once. Let me go find them!

Well this is the only one I have written down:

In the casino scene, Bond can be seen in the background talking to Felix Leiter before they have met.

While a lot of the blunders are funny and inexcusible, I can maybe explain the 'au revoir' phenomenon.
Maybe he was acting deliberately for a laugh. He knows that he should say ciao, but he says au revoir for one last time, before he transforms into a second identity.
Crap theory, but there you go.

This post was by White Persian, I'm just moving it here because he had it in the wrong area

The mention of the piddling pooch at the Junkanoo reminded me of a major goof at the Junkanoo. Bond gets a gunshot wound in his right leg (I think I've got this the right way around). He hides in the floats etc. and you can clearly see the blood on the injured leg, then he makes it to a bathroom and cleans the WRONG leg.

Save 'em all up Mr Moon. We'll be opening sections on the old movies soon enough which will allow for bloopers! Then you'll have loads to say

[mrmoon]

Heres a few more bloopers for you that I know of from various films.

From Russia With Love:- In the opening titles actress Martine Beswick is identified as 'Martin Beswick'. Quite funny I thought.

Thunderball:-During one of the scenes involving the junkanoo, You can see a dog 'peeing' in the road. If you've got the DVD pause it at 1hr 23min 44sec.

Octopussy:- When Kamal Khan destroys the faberge egg containing Bonds microphone it is claimed it is the replica. In fact it was the real egg that contained the microphone, as bond acquired it through the switch at the auction.

The Living Daylights :- This is a good one. As Bond pulls up at the Hotel Isle de France (the Hotel pushkin is staying in) he actually bumps into a pedestrian.Again for those with the DVD it is around 1hr 5min 50sec. It is a bloke wearing blue jeans and a grey jacket and he's stood in front of a no entry sign.

Hope You like them I know of loads more but theres too many to post.

I was looking up bloopers today and they mentioned the face mask and the helicopter clothing change!! How funny. I remember seeing the face mask error.

You seem to have a great knowledge of Bond!!

I'm not sure that spotting Bond and Felix talking before they "meet" quite constitutes a blooper, since the *characters* already know each other from previous stories. Granted, the filmmakers are playing with the fact that it's a new actor as Felix to pull the same trick as in Dr No - setting up Leiter as a suspicious, presumably enemy character before we find out he's one of the good guys, so the inclusion of the Casino footage is a goof. They pulled the same goody seems a baddy stunt with Strutter in "Live and Let Die".

A real blooper in T'ball is Bond's facemark changing from black back to blue then back to black during the underwater battle and Felix's changing wardrobe (hat - no hat, shorts - long pants) during the copter reconnaissance of the Golden Grotto.

Peter Hunt admits he was aware of these problems during editing different footage together but thought pacing was more important. He was probably right.

I do have it, but only on video I'm hoping to buy the DVD before I watch it again!
