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: 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?

Answer: Dalton was still contracted to play Bond in the next Bond film, Goldeneye. However, due to legal battles between MGM and EON productions, the film was delayed so long that Dalton simply lost interest and quit his role. He said afterwards in 2007 that, "I was supposed to make one more but it was cancelled because MGM and the film's producers got into a lawsuit which lasted for five years. After that, I didn't want to do it any more."
