Revealing mistake: During the sequence when Bond is crawling through the tunnel at Dr. No's complex, the tunnel walls wobble. (01:32:00)
Continuity mistake: When Bond and Honey get out of the water after Bond killed the soldier and after they clean themselves in clear water, Honey's shirt is dry, when it was completely wet before. (01:09:15)
Continuity mistake: During the 'You've had your six' scene, the cigarette in Bond's mouth disappears after he kills Professor Dent. (00:56:30)
Continuity mistake: One of Bond's traps in his room is his briefcase; he puts talcum powder on it. When he is done he sets the case down on the right side of the table. To the left is a mirror and by the mirror is an assortment of perfume bottles and a shaving bag. When he returns, the contents on the table are reversed exactly, and the perfume bottles are replaced by a magazine. (00:24:25 - 00:40:20)
Visible crew/equipment: In M's office you can see a boom light reflecting off a painting above the mantelpiece. (00:11:35)
Revealing mistake: When Bond and Honey are made to take showers to clean them of any remaining radioactivity, they are meant to be naked. When Honey gets out of the shower a man holds a towel up for her, but if you look closely you can see that she is wearing a flesh-colored swim suit. (01:16:45)
Continuity mistake: During the car scene, the black car rams into Bond. Then the camera cuts and the black car is about 5 feet behind Bond without any time to have slowed down. (00:48:45)
Continuity mistake: James Bond takes off his right shoe to use as a hammer on the grill covering the tube. When the grill gives way, he immediately lifts himself into the tube, and he now has both shoes on.
Continuity mistake: During the dirt road chase, Bond's car is pale blue in color in the wide shots but dark blue in the close-ups, where a rear projection is used. Also, the wipers swap between being fully lowered and slightly covering the windshield. A different car was obviously used.
Continuity mistake: Bond grabs the golf club that Trench is holding and retrieves it towards him. A split second later, from the opposite angle, his hand is away and she's still holding the club firmly.
Revealing mistake: When Bond is driving down the dirt road, it's very obvious that the driver is Sean Connery's stuntman.
Revealing mistake: When Honey wakes up and walks to grab a dress in the closet, she's supposed to be naked, but one can see a strapless bra covering her right breast.
Continuity mistake: After Bond guns the professor, he puts the light switch on the table above some cards. The amount of cards and their position to the edge of the table changes between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Trench exits the shower and opens the door to Bond, her towel is covering her cleavage - or not, depending on the shot.
Revealing mistake: When Honey is telling Bond how much money the shells are worth there is someone bobbing up and down just under Honey, possibly a film crew member holding an unseen microphone.
Revealing mistake: Every time a shot of the hallway outside of Bond and Honey's room in Dr. No's lair is shown there are several doors on the same side of the hallway that lead too nowhere. Notice when Bond enters the room looking for Honey near the end we don't see the reverse of the doors from the inside of his room.
Continuity mistake: When we see a close up of Sylvia's £100 tokens, they are mis-aligned and not neat. When the shot changes to the dealer picking them up they are stacked neatly. (00:07:30)
Continuity mistake: When we first see the skyline of London we can see that Big Ben is showing 3 o'clock we also hear Ben's chimes. When we see the casino for the first time the clock is showing 2:50. (00:06:40)
Continuity mistake: When Dr. No is explaining how he left with $10 million, Bond has his hand raised to his mouth. Camera changes to Dr. No's perspective and Bond's hand is lowered. (01:26:20)
Continuity mistake: At Strangways', Bond touches a book that is atop a second one on a white bookcase. When we get a closeup of the book (Geological Configuration) the second book has disappeared. (00:23:30)
Answer: Actually, yes, he would. The key to a vodka martini, Bond's preferred tipple, is that it should be served ice-cold. By shaking the drink, the ice cubes have a better chance to swish around the whole drink than they would if it was only stirred. It apparently also has the effect of dispersing the ingredients better, giving a different taste to the drink. In the spirit of scientific experimentation, some friends and I tried the drink both ways in a blind taste test a while back - it makes a surprising difference.

If you shake it, it turns cloudy.
