Factual error: The 15 bus in London does not go over Westminster Bridge.
Spectre (2015)
Directed by: Sam Mendes
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Daniel Craig, Monica Bellucci, Ben Whishaw, Christoph Waltz, Andrew Scott, Lea Seydoux
Factual error: The winter car chase in Austria shows the Range Rover's license plate "IL 25768H", which stands for "Innsbruck Land" in the province of Tyrol, but the flag in the middle of the plate belongs to the province of Vienna. It should show the Tyrolean eagle. In addition, it contains too many characters.
Continuity mistake: In the plane chase scene, when the plane hits the car, one of the wheels comes off. In the next view, all the landing gear is intact.
Trivia: The 4-minute-long "continuous" opening shot is a first for a Bond movie. It's actually three separate sequences cleverly stitched together with cuts disguised.
Trivia: At the age of 50, Monica Bellucci (Lucia Sciarra) is the oldest actress to be cast as a Bond girl, although a case could tenuously be argued that the Bond girl in Skyfall was M, played by the older Judi Dench.
Trivia: Mr. Hinx speaks only one word of dialogue in the entire film.
Oberhauser: Why did you come?
James Bond: I came here to kill you.
Oberhauser: And I thought you came here to die.
James Bond: Well, it's all a matter of perspective.
James Bond: Could you do one more thing for me?
Q: And that would be?
James Bond: Make me disappear.
Mr. Hinx: Shit.
Question: Bond was 12 when his parents were killed, and spent the next 2 years with his guardian, who taught him to ski, climb and hunt before his death. It is mentioned a few times that it happened 20 years ago, making Bond 34, but he's clearly much older - just wondered if I was missing something here.

Answer: It is mentioned that Oberhauser died 20 years ago. This could have been many years after James stopped living with him.
