I'm not too hot on finding things like this because i get so engrossed in the film but with a little prompting from the commentry by Director Michael G. Wilson on the dvd i noticed right after the theatre/mime scene in Goldeneye, Bond uses a camera/telescope to look across the harbour....but it moves from one eye to the other between shots. The Director admits this was an error! Keep 'em coming, there must be loads more.

[Blue Eyes]

Yes keep them coming! They'll make a fantastic list. They'll probably be used on the main site so you'll all get credit

[Double_Oh_Second]

I can't belive no-one else noticed this, but in Diamonds Are Forever, Connery drives into an ally on two wheels to escape a cop car. He goes in with the left wheels up but comes out with the right wheels up.

[R]

Just a few...

GOLDFINGER: When Q points to the DB5's controls for the "forward firing machine guns: left and right", he points right then left.

TWINE: When M discovers she still has the locator card in the cell, her scarf disappears.

THUNDERBALL: At Shrublands, Bond enters a room with "Massage" on the door, when he leaves it has changed to "Sitz bath and Heat Treatment".

...and there's more where that came from!

[Brigg]

on diamonds are forever after Mr. Wint and Mr. kidd kill doctor Tinan they give a bomb to a man in a helicopter. when the chopper lands the colored strip on the side of the chopper is red. but when it takes off it changes to green then explodes in the air.

With regard to YOLT, and this is probably one of the most geekish bloopers ever...

When they show the American and Russian rockets launching, they use footage of a Soviet Soyuz lauch for America, and an American Gemini launch for Russia.

[White Persian]

The wound Bond receives during the Junkanoo chase in T'ball switches legs when he washes it in the Kiss Kiss Club.
And there's the famous face mask that keeps changing from blue to black during the underwater battle.
It used to really bug me (and its one of the reasons I don't rate the movie highly) in YOLT just where the TV pictures of the Gemini being swallowed by Blofeld's spaceship, and the aerial shots of the chopper with the dangling car were coming from. Did both Blofeld and the Japanese Secret Service send TV crews along??

Always wondered about those Russian palmtrees!

On The Living Daylights

Bond puts a ticket in his right pocket, but when he takes them out again there in his left.

Even worse for a space aficionado who also likes James Bond!

The so-called Soviet Soyuz launch footage really isn't. It's actually stock footage of an Atlas-Agena D launching one of the Gemini docking targets -- which Gemini mission, specifically, I have no idea. Being that it was taken so far away it's extremely hard to spot details.

Footage of the Russian R-7 booster was not released to the Western public until the 1967 Paris Air Show, where the Russians first displayed a full-scale R-7 in the Vostok configuration. Movie footage of the Vostok 1 launch was released around the same time.

In dr. no. the guy on the megaphone is yelling and his voice is magnified but when he takes the megaphone away from his mouth his voice is still magnified.

In dr. no ms taro says her adress is 375 (or something) magenta drive but when bond is talking to felix on the phone her adress changes to 2171 magenta drive.

[Blofeld's Cat]

In the Thunderball scene in which Bond and Leiter are in the helicopter searching for the sunken vulcan, Leiter comments that it was "unusual to see manta rays so far out here" (or words to that effect). Those words are actually said by Pinder, Bond's local MI6 assistant.

Got that from the DVD I saw last weekend.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

I'm not sure if this really counts as a blooper, but in GF, when Operation Rockabye Baby is commencing, the countdown goes "5...4...3...2...0." The pilot skips 1 and goes from 2 to 0. And of course there's also the famous casino scene in DN when Bond is smoking a cigarette, but in several views, the cigarette appears in his hand.

[Carver]

I can't think of any new ones, just the age old TWINE, 'sleeves' one. In the tunnel, after the bomb explodes, Bond has his sleeves rolled up, yet he emerges with them down, not a crease in sight.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

There's another I found while watching LALD last night. After the chase in the planes is finished (and the wings on Bond's plane have come off), Bond says something to Mrs. Bell, and when it goes to her face, the wings are still on the plane in the background.

[JLMuench]

In TWINE the torpedo in the Q-boat launches out of the same holder.
In DN, during the car chase the same curve is used three times, and the view of Connery in the drivers seat is used twice.

[JimmyBond]

In TWINE, after the Cigar girls boat sideswipes a building near the beginning, the view than goes to a camera shot, look to the left of the screen and you can see a crane, probably used to film the stunt.

[14 20 02]

In TWINE when Bond is being held by Elekra's goons at Maidens Tower when she's talking to him, he is trying to break away from the goons but they are too strong and then she walks over to Christmas you see that Bond stops moving around and trying to get away he looks totally relaxed and then Elekra goes back to him and then it's trying to get away from the goons again!

Also when Bond is in the Q boat he fires 2 torpedoes at the cigar girl but when you see the torpedoes again there is only one torepedo than again the next time you see the toepedoes again there are 2 again.

They are loads more but i need to watch TWINE again. There are some in TND and GE whick i have noticed but i can't remember them.

[Se]

OP: When he flies through the compound with his jet, one can see the stick on which they atached the plain.
-When bond is hanging on the train, his hair is blond!!!
GE: Bond jumpas off a dam to go in that factory, which is situated lower. But when he escapes the place, there is no trace of a dam at all!
-When bond is in the weapons facility, he opens a door with his laser-gun. Notice how the green dot moves up and down while the fire from the laser keeps on goin straight.
TND: On the stealth ship where bond climbs up a ladder in the middle of the action, he first fires a machinegun, then his silenced gun. Notice how this gun makes the noice of a none-silenced gun.
TWINE: When bond makes his barel roll over the other boat, we can see the helmet of the stuntman glimpse.
-When bond is hanging on the baloon, the first time he looks up, it isn't bond at all.

[TheNewBlofeld]

LTK: After Pam shoots at the picture near Joe B's head, the picture has a bullet hole in the glass... Wouldn't the picture itself have a hole, as well?

[TheNewBlofeld]

Also, there are many blooprs at certain James Bon sites (obviously) like this one: http://www.bondmovie...s/bloopers.html

[Carver]

I'm not to good on finding these, so the best I can come up with:
In LTK, when Bond is about to try and shoot Sanchez, he first sees Pam B and Heller in the next room but one. Now, the next room was quite a big room, we saw it earlier when all the Orientals went in there, and when Bond activates the explosive toothpaste, he aims to fire and a ninja knocks him out of the way (I'm getting there). When Bond fires, Heller protects Sanchez by pushing him to the floor. Now, how can Heller get to that room in the space of a second, let alone get over to Sanchez, and where did Truman Lodge go?

[sofierce20007]

In From Russia With Love, there was one scene when Bond steals the Elector. When he says "The hell of time of superstitious", while closing and locking the Elector case, notice the case is not shut closed completely. Then, the next scene where Bond and Romana walks to the escape, you can see the case is shut and locked completely. After Bond and Romana escapes and go underground with Kerim Bey, Bond gives the Elector to Kerim Bey, and the next scene, Kerim Bey is not holding it; Bond is holding the Elector.

[Dortmunder]

DAF: The announcer says that the ape girl was from Nairobi, South Africa, but Nairobi is in Kenya

OHMSS: Tires screeching on sand and ice, the window rolled up and down between cuts on Draco's car when Bond is talking outside Gumbold's office

OP: Cincinnati was spelt Cincinatti on the side of the American boat after the jungle hunt for Bond

AVTAK: Windows rolled up and down when the Rolls is pushed in the water

TLD: The military airplane switches between 4-propellers and 2-propellers

FYEO: After the Havelocks are gunned down, and Melina leans over her father, there is no blood on his shirt, but a split-second later after Melina tosses her hair, his shirt is covered with blood

LTK: After Pam took a picture of Bond an Q with the X-Ray camera, and the polaroid film develops, it shows the X-Ray of the picture of Hector Lopez

Hey Dortmunder lad, I'm not being obnoxious, but doesn't Q move out of the camera's way and doesn't he push Bond out of it's way?

[Dortmunder]

Yes, Q does push Bond out of the way because the laser comes out, but when Pam takes the film back, it shows and X-Ray picture of Q, Bond, and the picture on the wall, but how could it take an X-Ray of a picture?!
