Visible crew/equipment: After Bond received a lighter from Felix and Della, he uses it, and the flame is big. In the beginning and the end, you can see a tube is connected to the lighter, and the tube goes into his suit. (00:15:00)
Revealing mistake: In a quick shot where the divers are coming into save Sanchez as the van has been ditched into the ocean, you can see the man in the van is not Robert Davi but a stuntman. It then changes shot to the diver giving Robert Davi a spare demand valve. (00:16:05)
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.
Revealing mistake: When Leiter is saved by scuba divers, not only is his stunt double noticeable, but he is Sanchez's very same stunt.
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.
Chosen answer: "License to Kill" is partly based on the novel "Live and Let Die" and the short story "Hilderbrand Rarity". However, it is the first Bond film not titled after a book. While "The Spy Who Loved Me" shares its name with a book, it was the first Bond film not based on a book (though subsequently, there was a novelization of the film.) "Goldeneye" is the first film not based on a book AND not titled after a book.
