Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Bond and Kananga are fighting underwater, Bond shoves the bullet into Kananga's mouth. Then, Kananga rises up and explodes. He explodes like a balloon, with not much blood at all.
Live and Let Die (1973)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Guy Hamilton
Starring: Roger Moore, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, Jane Seymour, Yaphet Kotto, Clifton James
Continuity mistake: When the guy with the snake is shot, Baron Samedi reappears and you can distinctly see the bloke holding the snake again.
James Bond: Black Queen on the red King, Miss.
Solitaire: Solitaire.
James Bond: My name's Bond, James Bond.
Solitaire: I know who you are, what you are, and why you've come. You have made a mistake. You will not succeed.
Trivia: With so many black actors, most of whom were cast as villains in the film, producers wanted to write in another character, a comedy part, to draw attention away. New York actor Clifton James was cast in the role of "Sheriff J. W. Pepper" (he was so popular that he would turn up again in the next Bond film).

Chosen answer: One assumes that the card that 'foretold' that Rosie was a double-agent was either sent by Felix Lighter of the FBI/CIA or by Solitaire herself. But, more than likely, it was Bond's faithful sidekick Quarrel, Jr. (the fisherman/boat captain on San Monique).
