Continuity mistake: In the scene on the plane, you see Bond hanging at the door on the right side of the plane. In the next shot, you see the plane making a left turn. In the following shot, Bond is still hanging on the right-side door. Shouldn't he have fallen into the plane?
Continuity mistake: In the end of the movie, when Bond and the other driver drive by trucks on the road, and Bond tries to bypass the other truck, we can see, from the rear-view angle, that the number plate of Bond's truck is BSK118. When Bond and the other driver drive side by side, suddenly, Bond has a truck with the plate BZX255, and the other driver has a truck with the BSK118 number plate. After the other truck collides with a rock and its driver comes out, we can see part of the truck's numberplate, which has the letters BZX2. Later Bond drives the truck with the number plate BSK118 again. (01:58:55)
Continuity mistake: The fire in the lab is started by Bond throwing a glass of burning gasoline on a table. A few seconds later, we see that it is burning in two separate places in the room. How did it jump? In the clip where Bond is placed on the conveyor, we see a small fire on the floor of the lab, but nowhere else. Nevertheless, we hear an explosion and see black smoke on the outside. That fire spreads unrealistically fast.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scenes, where Bond is winching down from the helicopter, some shots from the chopper show the winch cable going through a pulley. When he lands on the tail of the Sanchez's plane the winch cable is much bigger. Then, when the helicopter pulls up, the plane is being carried by the cargo hook line, under the belly of the chopper (rescue winches are normally only rated for 300kg). (00:06:30 - 00:07:15)
Continuity mistake: When Truman-Lodge is shot by Sanchez, he falls off to the side of the road, but when Bond makes his escape through the fire, Truman-Lodge's body is shown lying in the road.
Continuity mistake: Slightly weird one, this. Just after Bond says "compliments of Sharky," Krest takes his gun out and fires at him. For some weird reason, there's a jump cut a fraction of a second before he shoots - he pulls out the gun, aims, then jumps slightly to the right and fires. (00:41:10)
Continuity mistake: When Bond examines Della's 'dead' body, her mouth goes from being open in one shot to closed in the next.
Continuity mistake: On the Wavekrest when Krest is called to the bridge, to see "just a Manta-ray" it is dark outside. When Bond arrives on the Wavekrest minutes later however it is daytime the first time he looks outside. (00:36:30 - 00:40:20)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sanchez fires the Stinger at Bouvier's plane, it misses the right elevator, yet the left elevator starts to smoke. In the next shot of the plane, the right elevator now has a large flaming hole in it. (02:05:15)
Continuity mistake: When Pam and James are in the bar, Pam isn't wearing a bullet proof vest. Yet when she stands up in the boat a few minutes later, she suddenly has this massive vest attached to her back, which took the bullet hit. (00:49:00 - 00:53:10)
Continuity mistake: Bond falls in the pool and hugs Pam, his messed-up hair soaking wet. Three seconds later, it's drier and nicely brushed.
Continuity mistake: When Pam and Bond are in the pool, her right hand is on his back. A shot later, it's on his chest.
Continuity mistake: After Bond makes the truck crash, he dodges the rocket while the driver stares in awe. Then the crashed truck is hit and explodes. The problem is, when Bond is heading towards the goons, one can see that the crashed truck is nowhere in sight, so not only could the rocket not have struck it, but the driver couldn't have seen what was going on.
Continuity mistake: When the four blokes get covered in the crop dust there's a big white patch on the ground. When they get up and run at Bond the white patch is gone.
Continuity mistake: When the tanker is blown up by the rocket, the driver runs off to the left. Cut to the long shot of the tanker blowing up and the driver is gone.
Suggested correction: The driver was engulfed and killed by the explosion, as he wasn't able to get away in time. That's why we cannot see him, as the scene was supposed to point out that the driver didn't survive.
Continuity mistake: When Bond forces the tanker off the road the front wheels come off and Bond's tanker stops. Switch to inside the cab with Bond and he's moving again.
Continuity mistake: When Sanchez gets in the petrol tanker at the end the two drivers from the crashed one are in front of the one that's on fire. One is lying down, the other injured, but when the trailer blows up both men have disappeared.
Suggested correction: These men disappear because the explosion kills them. They are in a state of immobility and are unable to escape the explosion.
Continuity mistake: Around the time Lupe starts dealing at the casino table, we see a woman in a purple, red and yellow dress walk away. In the next shot, a close up of Bond, the woman is standing behind Bond, and in the next shot she is walking away again.
Continuity mistake: While Bond attempts to pass a tanker during the chase scene, he forces another tanker into the ditch. In subsequent scenes, you can see the crashed truck appears to have had the engine removed and replaced with a dark object meant to simulate the appearance of an engine.
Continuity mistake: When Bond's unhooked tanker trailer collides with another tanker, you can see the tanker truck involved has pulled to the left side of the road with its wheels pointed left. The truck also appears to be intact through out the scene. During the second explosion, as Sanchez is escaping in another tanker, you can see the disabled tanker truck now has its wheels pointed to the right. The disabled tanker is also missing an exhaust stack and you can see daylight through a portion of the grill, indicating that its radiator and engine have been removed.
