Deliberate mistake: In the scene inside the belly dancer's dressing room, during the brawl Bond has with the KGB agents, he shoves the bald headed guy into the mirror along the bottom 1/3rd of the glass, yet the middle along the left hand side of the mirror makes it look as if that was the initial point of impact before it shatters.
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Guy Hamilton
Starring: Christopher Lee, Desmond Llewelyn, Roger Moore, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, Britt Ekland, Maud Adams
Continuity mistake: During the chase scene with the police, Bond swerves past a driver in a dark green 1956 Plymouth Savoy. As the police cars pass the Plymouth, the scene cuts to an inside shot of the car with the driver yelling. Then, the driver loses control of the car and rolls it over. The car that crashes is a green 1955 Chevrolet 210 series, not the 1956 Plymouth.
James Bond: Miss Anders... I didn't recognize you with your clothes on.
Trivia: Actress Maud Adams, who played "Andrea Anders", "Scaramanga's mistress" in the film, is the only actress to have played two lead roles in Bond films. A favourite of Cubby Broccoli, in 1983, she returned to play the title character in "Octopussy".
Question: When Bond goes to the fighting ring and discovers that Maud Adams is dead, was that really a dummy of her? It sure looked like one to me.
