Continuity mistake: When Bond is flying over China and landing on the sea by Scaramanga's island, you can see that his plane has two floats - one on either wing. But in the shot where he is heading for the beach, it is clearly seen that the left float has gone! (01:28:40 - 01:30:55)
Continuity mistake: The small plane's pilot identifies the aircraft as 232Z. But in the exterior shots, the aircraft's identification is N9750Y. (00:35:00)
Continuity mistake: The people inside the elevator disappear in the wide angle. (01:57:21 - 01:57:51)
Continuity mistake: When the car chase ends, the speeding car stops next to a tree. A shot later the car is 10 meters away from it.
Visible crew/equipment: After Lightfoot steals the Trans Am, when he first encounters Thunderbolt on the run, he swerves into the field, and in a shot from inside the car, a piece of filming equipment on the hood of the car is visible through the windshield. Then Lightfoot hits Dunlop with the car. (00:07:50)
