The Living Daylights

Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie after Necros falls from the plane the camera cuts back to Bond, as he tries to struggle his way out of the nest. If you look closely under the nest you can see Necros at the start of his fall again. Also notice Necros is replaced by a dummy.

Revealing mistake: When Necros fights for his life on the plane and later when he plummets, one can see a protruding, bulky object under the stuntman's shirt, which is obviously his parachute.

Revealing mistake: During the scene at the airbase, several explosions take place one after the other in a straight line. When the smoke disappears, one can see the track of the protruding mount where the pyrotechnics were buried.

Revealing mistake: Saunders is not in the door-way when the bomb launching the glass door goes off. He actually jumps forward to get there in time to get caught.

Plot hole: At the border crossing, the gas pipeline takes a narrow 90-degree turn. The 'pig', which is about 3 meters long and cylindrical, would not be able to pass through such a corner.

James Bond: There are a few things I'd like to check out first, sir. That sniper, for instance.
M: Yes. I've read Saunders report. You jeopardized the entire mission to avoid shooting a beautiful girl.
James Bond: Not exactly, sir. I took a split second decision. It was instinct.

Question: What exactly happened to Koskov at the end? Pushkin said something like "Put him on a Plane in a diplomatic bag" but was he just being sarcastic or what?

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: He says, "Put him on the first plane to Moscow...", making Koskov think he was going to live, but then Pushkin adds, "...in a diplomatic bag." He is being transported back to Russia in a bag...hence, he will be quite dead.
