    Quoting Adrian_Malprave:When Bond takes the car up the ramp, Tiffany is leaning towards the floor. During the drive in the allyway, the car swaps sides and Bond is then leaning over to the floor. When the car comes out, Bond is still leaning towards the floor.

    It's all on the DVD has to how the tried to correct the mistake. The producers admit it. The couldn't use the sequence where it emerges on the right set of wheels because of a crowd that had gathered to watch.

    Somebody did say that but I dont see the mistake. The back seat is under the Rolls Toyce roof and the front seat is without a roof. I see Goldfinger go in the back seat, Oddjob gets in the front seat, and Goldfinger is still in the back.

    Dr No: The scene with Bond and Miss Taro. Taro says 'What's going on behind my back?' Bond replies and holds his palms up and there's a mysterious zipping noise. Miss Taro was wearing a towel wrapped around her and there was no zip attached to the back!

    Die Another Day: The scene where Q steps on to the trailer at 'Vauxhall Cross' station. You can see a quick distorted image of Q as he steps on. Incidentally, there's no such station as Vauxhall Cross, only Vauxhall. I believe that scene was filmed at the Aldwych station which closed in 1994. Several movies have been filmed there.

    Don't think that was a mistake, wasn't the distorted image because of the light refraction on an 'invisible' solid

    Ur rite that there is no station called Vauxhall Cross (in actual Fact) but the idea is/was to have a fictional station, long abandoned and disused for it's proper function, near enough the MI6 building to create an association; and is now used for something else, ie covert meetings, but then again only if the situation really merits it.

    Bond has been on assignment for 40 years, met M in ship hulls, airplanes, outhouses and in egyptian structures, but even he says 'I had heard about this place'.

    So basically it's not a mistake as such , as they were not using a live underground station out of hours, but a disused one from the 40's /50's, becuase of the 'current ' wall posters for Players ciagarettes etc.

    Thx

    ERRORS AND RARITIES.

    Dr. Not: After Bond sees the professor Dent disparate six times to the pillow, it aims him and he tells him that hethrows its weapon, then the professor grabs it and it shoots Bond but this he doesn't have more bullets, there Bond tells him. It’s a Smith & Wesson and you ran out of your six shots.. It is impossible that from where Bond is it can be distinguished the mark of the gun, also the guns of that time most had more than seven projectiles in their loaders. An error that could have cost him the life.
    Another error is that when Honey Ryder is cleaned of radiation instead of leaving naked, it is noticed that it takes a mesh color skin.
    From Russia With Love: When to the beginning of the movie they time Grant, Morzeny tells him that they were 1 minute 52 seconds, although in fact they were 1 minute 58 seconds.
    In the part in that Bond shoots to the barrels of fuel in the persecution in boat, 007 carry out two serial shots with a gun of flares that like one knows alone they can load a projectile.
    Goldfinger: When being allowed to lose Goldfinger, we see that Bond observes it with some binoculars, then like one listens the noise that makes the pencil that Goldfinger breaks.
    When Pussy Galore points to Bond with a to revolver, he says is a Smith & Wesson gauges .45, from where it is 007 he cannot realize the mark of the weapon neither of the caliber.
    In the part in that Goldfinger is made go by a General of the North American army as they don't realize this the soldiers when seeing that instead of behaving a regular gun, it takes in the hand a revolver of solid gold.
    The rifle that Tilly Masterson uses is an AR-7, the same one that gave Q at 007 in From Russia With Love.
    Thunderball: When it is in the rehabilitation clinic in a scene in that he is in robe next to Patricia, James Bond is changed in 3 seconds.
    The moto that Fiona Volpe uses is a BSA Lightning.
    The Man with the Golden Gun: When beginning the movie the gangster that goes to the island to kill Scaramanga it uses a gun with muffler, but the weapon makes noise as if didn't have it.
    After killing the gangster Scaramanga carries out 3 shots and it cuts four fingers of the hand of the manequi of Bond.
    The bullets that Scaramanga uses are of caliber 4.2mm but leave clearly that they are bigger.
    Licence to Kill: In the bar shot the wooden wall flies leaving an enormous holen, neither that it was a bazooka.
  • YourBestStalkerYourBestStalker Posts: 29MI6 Agent
    This isn't a mistake, but something that i noticed upon watching Goldfinger a few days ago.
    In the first scene that Goldfinger is in, when he's playing Gin w/ that guy at the Miami Beach hotel. Goldfinger is wearing golden sandals/shoes. It's just kinda interesting, he's "the man with the golden shoes"
  • Adrian_MalpraveAdrian_Malprave Posts: 30MI6 Agent
    In Goldfinger when Bond is looking in the binouculars, Bond looks down at Goldfinger break the pencil but when it shows bond looking through the binouculars again, you can see that Bond did not move the bimoculars and they are in the same position so how were they moved down?

    Quoting Moonraker 5:Good one. If it was ejected at the force required to flip the car, not only would it be loose, it would sustain damage on impact with the ice.

    Also too, There should have been no seat for Halley Berry to sit on when Bond saves her
  • Dr_KanangaDr_Kananga Posts: 2MI6 Agent
    In On Her Majesty¡¯s Secret Service when Bond is in its office he opens a drawer, it takes out the knife of Honey Ryder and it places it on the table of its desk, you see Donald ¡°Red" Grant¡¯s clock, and appears the knife in the drawer again, it takes out of the same one the portable breather of Thunderball and the knife appears on the desk again.
    When Bond is taken to the office of Draco, the employee that cleans the one is blowing the topic of Goldfinger.
    Blofeld always grabs its cigarette with the thumb and index.
    In Moonraker when Corinne will see Drax it takes white shoes and it doesn't take stockings, but when they begin her to run the dobermans it takes blue stockings and tennis shoes.
    The dobermans when has Chang (another error, since they pronounce it as Char) them has the cut tail, but when they begin to run to Corinne, magically it grows.
    James Bond carry in any moment of the movie its Walther PPK.

    Having just watch it again this weekend, there is no seat after bond ejects it to flip the car, it's completely gone. When Jinx is pulled into the car she's slumped on the floor over the central arm rest. So it is not a mistake!!

    Quoting Oddjob:in dr.no when bond leaves the elevator in MI6 h.q.
    on the right u see the universal exports sign and the arrow beneath it points to the elevator!?

    You think they were taking the alias a bit too far? heh :))

    All these are not bloopers or mistakes. Only post stuff in this topic if they are mistakes. The things you are writting can go in the topic Ever Notice? search for it in the search bar and post in things that you have noticed in the Bond movies like you are saying. Post mistakes in here.
  • YourBestStalkerYourBestStalker Posts: 29MI6 Agent
    Well this isn't a very big mistake, but it's interesting to look for.

    In Tomorrow Never Dies, when Bond is fleeing from gunmen in the newspaper factory he jumps onto a cart. We see his chest land on the cart from behind, but when they show the view of him head-on, his chest lands again.

    Also, does anyone ever say "Tomorrow Never Dies" in the movie???
  • jamestarcarjamestarcar Posts: 4MI6 Agent
    Couple of mistakes in my favorite, FRWL:
    Blofeld's ring changes hands in early scenes.
    While being chased by helicopter, the Lektor and rifle change hands several times.
    After Bond shoots down the copter, there is a man crawling among the rocks on right side of screen, probably a stunt man.
    At the beginning of the gypsy camp fight Bond is in a wagon on
    the right but he appears to be shooting the good guys????
    I also noted the line where Bond says that he and M had been to
    Tokyo, but in YOLT Bond says he had never been to Japan.
  • jamestarcarjamestarcar Posts: 4MI6 Agent
    A few comments on another favorite, GF:
    A lot of people think the seagull on Bond's head at beginning of TPS is a joke. Actually it is part of his rebreather and designed to
    remove telltale air bubbles. Similar devices have been used by different military agencies.
    During Fort Knox fight with Oddjob, Bond picks up the bowler hat in one hand but throws it with the other.
    Look closely when Bond is trying to stop the bomb, there is a scene where Leiter and other men enter the room upstairs, and in the background later you see them enter again.
    If the Rolls Royce is made of gold, then how does Bond's magnetic homer stick to it. Magnets don't stick to gold.
    When Oddjob knocks out Bond at the refrigerator, the champagne bottle falls, but is in a different spot when Bond awakens.
  • jamestarcarjamestarcar Posts: 4MI6 Agent
    O.K. I'm back, this time with mistakes in another favorite, TB.
    Although not as exciting as some other movies, it has an undeniable scope and visual appeal. Plus it got me interested in
    diving.
    License plate on front of Lippe's Ford comes and goes depending on whether they are using stunt car or other one.
    I never saw a bracelet on Domino's leg. Anyone else??
    While escaping at the Junkanoo Bond is shot in the right leg but later bandages his left leg. Plus he heals really fast. No sign of the wound shows up later.
    Domino steps on the egg spines with her right foot, but Bond tends to her left foot.
    When Domino gives Bond the starfish at her boat, Bond is barefooted but swims away wearing fins.
    At the bridge that Domino mentions, Bond swims up barefooted, but wears shoes on land. Plus his bathing suit dried really fast. And why is he not wearing the geiger counter watch in the same scene?
    I have many more, some already mentioned, such as the mask being switched, and Leiters pants becoming shorts in the copter.
    Also in one scene in the copter they flipped the film, you can see Bond's hair parted on other side, watch on other arm, plus Bond is sitting on other side of copter. I also noted the wrong coordinates for the diamond drop.
    During fight scene on boat at end, the captain's hat is knocked off by Bond, but is back on.
    When Bond inflates the red pick up balloon, one of the straps goes under his arm. That is going to hurt when the slack is taken up!!
    When is someone going to produce a complete copy of the end credits???
  • YourBestStalkerYourBestStalker Posts: 29MI6 Agent
    In Tomorrow Never Dies on Carver's stelth ship, when Stamper is shooting at bond while they're still in the little water area beneath the ship. A door opens and Bond immediatly stabs one of Carver's men. This man is wearing a helmet when Bond stabs him, but when Bond holds the man's dead body out so Stamper can shoot him the man's helmet has gone missing.

    Quoting YourBestStalker:.

    Also, does anyone ever say "Tomorrow Never Dies" in the movie???

    Yes infact they do. Bond or Wai Lin say it when they destroy Carvers Schemes and are making love on the burning stealth ship at the end of the movie/
  • YourBestStalkerYourBestStalker Posts: 29MI6 Agent
    Oh ya...heh

    Well another mistake i found was in OHMSS. When Draco and his guys attck Blofeld's lab on the top of the mountain there's a scientist who throws a flask at Bond. The chemical in the flask eat through the door, but when bond steps away from the door, the door is intact again.
  • ImperatorImperator Posts: 4MI6 Agent
    The same mistake Tiger said about Goldfinger's pretitles sequence is seen again in Octopussy. You see a latinamerican country, but a couple of the soldiers look like British, German, Danish, whatever (but they don't look like latin people: neither latinamerican, nor Italian, nor French, etceteras)
    And Bond has an identification that says Col. (if it's a latinamerican country, it should have said Coronel, Cnel. or something like that, but not Colonel, in English).

    Well, Bond films have lots of mistakes, but we better don't think about them.

    This has probably already been mentioned but in TWINE, when M is captured and in that old fasioned cell. When Renard comes in and talks to her she has a drape think over her shoulder, then after Renard has left it cuts back to M and the drape is gone.
    Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.

    I don't remember if this has been mentioned yet. But in Octopussy, when Kamalah (sp?) is escaping with his henchman on horse back we first see the henchman with a yellow/gold turban on. But later in the plane the henchman is wearing a maroon turban.
  • HENDOO7HENDOO7 Posts: 30MI6 Agent
    Any of these have probably has already been mentioned, i just couldn't be bothered looking though all the posts. Here is one for each movie:

    DR.NO- In the end, when Bond takes Chang's place, he turns the radiation level up to 40-45. When he's fighting Dr. No up on the walkway, it goes down to 30, but no one has touched the wheel!

    FRWL- Early in the gypsy girl fight, when the girls are tussling on their feet they both have grass in their hair. Although at this point, neither has fallen to the ground.

    GF- As Bond watches Goldfinger cheating at cards, the binoculars move down to show Goldfinger break his pencil, but Bond's hands never touch the binoculars.

    TB- Bond and Leiter are watching Largo's villa and they are looking at his shark collection. In this scene, Bond's parting switches from the left, to the right side of his head.

    YOLT- When Osato's henchmen are chasing Aki and Bond, there are a couple of shots on the instrumentation in her car. The speedometer is always showing zero.

    OHMSS- When Bond is in his office he picks up some souvenirs from his desk. However, Dr. No took Honey's knife and Bond never took Grant's watch.

    DAF- Bambi and Thumper continue the fight by throwing Bond into a stack of metal tubes. You can see that all the tubes fall over Bond, but the last one takes a little longer to fall over completely. However, we never see or hear it fall to the ground.

    LALD- When Tee-Hee bends Bond's gun, you can see it is pre-cut.

    TMWTGG- When Nick Nack is throwing bottles in the end, the glass breaks, but no wine can be seen.

    TSWLM- When Bond is being chased by the skiers in the mountains, look down when he is about to jump. There are already ski tracks going off the mountain.

    MR- When Bond and Holly are on the tram, Holly is wearing high heels. But when she lands after jumping off the cable car, she's wearing black athletic shoes.

    FYEO- When the car falls off the cliff, Locque falls out of it and lands under or beside the car. However, when they show the car from above (as Bond and Colombo see it) Locque is lying in front of the car.

    OC- In the teaser, the girl sticks the moustache on Bond's face. It is crooked. It's straight in the next sequence.

    AVTAK- When May Day comes back from the car wash, where she killed Tibbet, Zorin has found out that Bond is an agent. Bond gets hit in the head and is pushed into the Rolls Royce and he falls half-lying against Tibbet's body. A moment later, before the Rolls Royce is pushed into the lake you can see Bond's and Tibbet's bodies sitting neatly each on his side.

    TLD- The jeep explosion does not take place very far from the yacht, but the woman on the yacht complains that "it's all so boring here". Since she is within Bond's sight, then she was also close enough to be aware that a car had just exploded in mid-air very close to her. Yet, she's totally oblivious to all of this excitement.

    LTK- When Sanchez whips Lupe, he does it vertically. But when Bond is on the Wavekrest, we can see the red marks on her back and they are horizontal.

    GE- The train had two carriages, yet there was a carriage for the dining room, a carriage for the control room and a carriage for the helicopter. That makes three doesn't it?

    TND- It's pretty strange that the communication between the ship and the missile is one-way. The signal from the missile and the live footage is strong enough to reach the controlroom where M is, BUT the ship cannot abort the missile because it's out of range.

    TWINE- How can it be that Gabor is at Elektra's place in Istanbul bringing M breakfast and in the next instance he's at the ex-KGB's headquarter after the bomb went off?

    DAD- Bond is without gloves in most of the scenes surrounding the ice palace. Driving the scooter back to the ice palace after parachute surfing should have created severe frost bite on his hands.

    Hope you liked them!!!!

    In YOLT, when Blofeld annouces that Bond is alive, Osato and Brandt are shocked. They still believe Bond is dead, as seen in the newspaper. But the newspaper published a nice picture of the late Commander James Bond. Does doctor Alvarez exists back in 1967? Or both of them are just fools?
  • Walther PPKWalther PPK Posts: 180MI6 Agent
    If I remember right, with reguard to the AVTAK plotline, it was stated that MI6 didn't know for sure if an EMP weapon had been built by the Soviets yet. As for the chips they probaly not ever used since noone knew if such a weapon had been devloped,or both AVTAK and Goldeneye had different writters writing them so there you have it.
  • HENDOO7HENDOO7 Posts: 30MI6 Agent
    I have a really good one right here. I needed the zoom button on the dvd to see if i was right.

    FRWL- During the chess match, it has some officials moving the pieces on a bigger board to show the audience in the movie. Anyway, when Kronsteen makes his winning move, the officials put the piece under the other piece on the close up, yet when it cuts to the wide shot where you can see the audience, the piece is back in it's original spot.
  • DortmunderDortmunder Posts: 40MI6 Agent
    Okay, here is a quite interesting one. Well, at least to me. Too get to Piz Gloria atop the Schilthorn, one has to take a cable car passing through four or five stations. One leg of the journey is from Birg (seen in OHMSS, the big blue building down from Piz Gloria) to Piz Gloria. This is where Campbell (Draco's man keeping tabs on Bond) asked the Piz Gloria guards for a lift to the top at Piz Gloria. Between Piz Gloria and Birg there is no stop, and it contains the longest unsupported cable line in Europe (distance between supports). Anyway, to get to the point, when Bond is in the gear room being held prisoner, the cable moves the car down two legs. The car starts at Piz Gloria, stops, loads things off at a station of some sort, and then restarts again to continue and stop at Birg. The problem is that there is no stop between Piz Gloria and Birg, so where would they have stopped between? I hope that made sense; if it didn't, perhaps watch that scene in OHMSS again, and it might make sense.
