Continuity mistake: When Bond examines Della's 'dead' body, her mouth goes from being open in one shot to closed in the next.

Trivia: This film marks the big screen debut of Tom Selleck, who has a small part as one of Letitia's "studs".

Factual error: When the air hose on the truck is severed, the brakes release. In reality, on an air-braking system, if the air hose is severed, the brakes lock on as a safety measure.

Continuity mistake: When Truman-Lodge is shot by Sanchez, he falls off to the side of the road, but when Bond makes his escape through the fire, Truman-Lodge's body is shown lying in the road.

Factual error: When Bond and Amasova are on the speed boat going to see Stromberg, the underwater lair is super-imposed on the horizon, rather than midway. This would make the lair around 50 miles high.

wizard_of_gore ★

Revealing mistake: When the boat blasts out of Stromberg's lair and lands in the water, it's obviously a miniature and the people inside are obviously dummies.

Deliberate mistake: As the Lotus drives off the pier and enters the water, the exposed underbody is that of a normal car. After it enters the sea, the underbody we see is completely sealed, which it needs to be to allow the car to submerge.

Factual error: At the beginning of the opening title sequence, the Union Jack fluttering in the background is upside down.

Continuity mistake: In the underwater sequence, just before Bond fires a torpedo on a diver, he steers left, but the sub turns right.

Visible crew/equipment: The wires holding Jaws to the magnet are visible.

wizard_of_gore ★

Continuity mistake: On the train, the wine stain on Jaws' jacket disappears for one shot and then reappears. It then changes size and shape repeatedly.

Revealing mistake: When Tee Hee bends the barrel of Bond's Walther PPK, in the close-up, the score marks where the barrel has been pre-cut are visible.

Visible crew/equipment: In New York City, when the taxicab goes up the steps and crashes into the trash cans, the ramp that the car travels on is visible.

wizard_of_gore ★

Factual error: When Bond is hiding on the monorail cart, it stops at the astronauts' quarters. After Bond gets out of the cart, a second cart passes by, even though the cart he arrived in is still on the track (out of shot). No one moved the cart before the second cart passed through.

Audio problem: When Bond is escaping from Osato Chemicals for the first time, the security guards that are shooting at him inside the building are using silenced revolvers, yet when they fire, the noise made is that of an unsilenced weapon.

wizard_of_gore ★

Trivia: Reportedly, the noise made during the shooting of the film's grand finale on the volcano set scared Blofeld's white cat, and it ran away. It took several days to find the cat, and it was eventually discovered hiding in some of the set's rafters. The cat is not seen with Blofeld in many scenes because of this, but footage of the scared cat wound up in the finished movie very briefly when Blofeld's security shutters are enforced.

Continuity mistake: When Bond is flying Little Nellie during the attack by the SPECTRE helicopters, he uses all of his armaments. Afterward, however, when Bond is told to proceed to a certain position, the Nellie is seen pulling away fully armed.

wizard_of_gore ★

Continuity mistake: During the fight scene in Osato's office with the large goon, the villain's suit and shirt become disheveled and un-tucked, then straightened and tucked, several times as the shots change.
