From Russia With Love

Revealing mistake: When Bond and Kerim are sailing in the underground reservoir, just before they arrive at the Russian Consulate, there is a closeup of the oar moving through the water. At the bottom of the screen there is a white object moving through the water. It is not clear what it is, but it is not there in any of the other shots of the boat - neither before nor after. It could be the leg of a crew member pushing the boat. (00:33:50)

Jacob La Cour

Revealing mistake: During the fight on the train between Bond and Grant, you can spot the stunt double for the Grant character by noticing the bad toupee.

Revealing mistake: When Bond kills Red Grant in the train compartment by strangling him with his own garrote wire, the final shot reveals that the garrote is missing and Bond is faking it.

Revealing mistake: On the boat, look carefully when the man falls in the water. The man jumps to give the illusion that Bond pushed him.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When Bond and Tania are evading the bad guys on the boat we see James push the fuel drums into the water. Look closely at the next scene and you can see the wake from the boat filming the sequence.

Visible crew/equipment: When James Bond shoots down the helicopter, then it crashes. He emerges from the rocks to run from the crash site to the right of the picture, just as you see Sean Connery emerge from behind rocks from the right in the same scene. So, for about a second, there are two James Bonds in the picture. One is the stuntman, and the other is Sean Connery. (01:38:05)
