Corrected entry: The downward air pressure from a hovercraft is strong enough to set off a land mine.

Corrected entry: The name 'Zao' is Chinese, and since many Koreans have Chinese names, there are definitely some Koreans named Zao. But there is no 'Z' sound in Korean. Therefore 'Zao' should be pronounced 'jo', 'cho', or 'sho' (depending on who's doing the pronouncing).
Correction: Unless the submitter is suggesting that all Koreans have a speech defect, they would be capable of pronouncing Zao in the way it was intended.
What the submitter may be trying to say is that, in Korean, sounds from the English language that aren't present in Korean are replaced with sounds that are. For example, 'f' changes to 'p' and 'v' changes to 'b', 'z' changes to 'j' or 'ch'. So it is a valid mistake to point out since it would be difficult to pronounce words with sounds you have never used before, especially if there are replacement sounds, which would further limit how much you use those 'foreign' sounds.

Corrected entry: In the car chase, you can see when Bond's car flips that there is a large metal plate underneath it, presumably to mount explosives and effects paraphernalia on. A real Vanquish would have an assortment of metal tubes and engine parts.
Correction: It's highly unlikely that Bond would have a standard production model. It's completely in line with the story that it would have been heavily modified.

Correction: Landmines can be triggered by a variety of things including pressure, movement, sound, magnetism and vibration. The ones in the movie are obviously not pressure activated.
