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)
Licence to Kill (1989)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: John Glen
Starring: Desmond Llewelyn, Timothy Dalton, Robert Davi, Talisa Soto, Carey Lowell
Factual error: When the air hose on the truck is severed, the brakes release. In reality, on an air-braking system, if the air hose is severed, the brakes lock on as a safety measure.
Felix Leiter: Where's my wife?
Dario: Don't worry. We gave her a nice Honeymooooon.
Trivia: When Sanchez is chasing Bond in the trucks, and when he starts to shoot Bond with the Uzi, listen to the ricochet off the bullets. They sound like the James Bond theme tune.

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.
