Continuity mistake: At the baccarat table at the ambassador's club, Sylvia Trench has a red dress on. A piece of the dress off of her shoulder.

Continuity mistake: A car chase early on has a cutaway to the speedometer of the villain pursuing Bond, of a dashboard totally and obviously different to the actual one on the car. The director apparently knew it, but they were low budget and had no choice. (00:18:25)
Continuity mistake: The dashboard of the driver's car that picked Bond up in Jamaica keeps changing colour and brand, from a red 1957 Chevrolet dash to a black 1957 Ford dash. (00:18:25)

When he re-enters the room and checks his traps, the green bottle has disappeared. Bond takes a bottle from a drawer but that also is clear so what happened to the green one? (00:23:40 - 00:41:00)
