Continuity mistake: Forydize says the Tremble has a 1965 Rolex Oyster Perpetual. Q gives Tremble a replacement that is meant to be the same, but with the radio and TV screen built in - Tremble says that he cannot tell the difference between the new watch and his original. But when a closeup of the new watch is seen, it is not a 1965 Rolex Oyster Perpetual. (00:58:55 - 00:59:45)

Continuity mistake: Bond enters the temple and sits. 12 girls come in, they have their hands together and obviously aren't carrying anything. They kneel and are then suddenly waving giant sheets around which have appeared from nowhere. (01:03:00)

Continuity mistake: Forydize is standing right behind Tremble, measuring him for his MI5 clothing. The camera angle changes and now he's standing right in front of Tremble. (01:01:10)

Continuity mistake: The cupboard in Jimmy Bond's torture chamber contains, among other things, a bowler hat. But when Jimmy opens it, to get his atomic pill, the hat is no longer there. (01:57:05)

Continuity mistake: There is a hat on top of Jimmy Bond's piano. The strings hanging from it change position between shots. (01:56:15)

Continuity mistake: There are several differences between the miniature model of the hovercraft-like thing that Mata is in and the full-size model. For example, the full-size model has red markings near the antennae and a silver bottom, whereas the miniature has no markings and a predominantly red bottom. (01:49:35)

Continuity mistake: Each time Tremble does his 'Indian beggar' lines, there is a woman in a red dress standing right behind him. She is not there in any other shot. (01:35:35 - 01:37:30)

Continuity mistake: Tremble's chips are next to his glass of champagne. However, when we see a close-up of his first hand (3 of clubs and 3 of hearts), Tremble puts his cards down next to his glass, and the chips are not there. (01:37:10)

Trivia: Despite the long scene where they play each other at baccarat at the casino, Peter Sellers and Orson Welles were never on set at the same time. There are a number of theories ranging from stage fright to their alleged intense hatred of each other. (01:35:00)

Continuity mistake: Most of the time that Le Chiffre is playing cards the women gathered around him are in the same position - e.g. the blonde twins are either side of him and the woman in the bright green dress is to his right. However there is one short shot, just before Le Chiffre does his levitating woman magic trick, where they are all in different positions - e.g. the woman in the green dress is now behind him to his left. (01:12:10)

Continuity mistake: After drinking the drugged champagne Tremble collapses the instant he enters the bathroom. But when we see him passed out against the bath he doesn't have his braces and holster on. They're hanging over the side of the bath but there was no time for him to have taken them off. (01:26:30)

Revealing mistake: The Union Flag pinned to the back of the taxi driver's jacket is upside down. Since he is part of the government (he's undercover for the Foreign Office) he shouldn't make such an terrible mistake. (01:20:40)

Continuity mistake: Early on in the fight at the casino someone smashes through the mirror above the bar. Later on the mirror can be seen to be intact. (02:05:25)

Plot hole: As they're escaping the Smersh lair, Bond tells Mata to put her finger in the tiger's ear to operate the doors. How does he know this? The only other time he was in that room, the tiger's eyes were pressed to operate the lift. (02:03:00)

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy Bond opens the cupboard to get his pills there is a mounted gun on the shelf as well. After picking up the pills he turns around and the gun has vanished. (01:57:15)

jle

Continuity mistake: When we first see the remote-controlled milk float, its front number plate is normal. When it starts moving, though, there is a piece of red tape over part of the plate. The red disappears again in subsequent shots. (00:34:30)

Factual error: After the grouse shooting scene, there is a map on screen which shows the A230 crossing the England-Scotland border. The A230 is really in Kent. (00:33:30)

Visible crew/equipment: After Mimi has cut off the magnetic button and launched it away with James' braces, there is a shot of the exploding grouse, and the wires making it fly are visible. (00:31:00)

jle

Visible crew/equipment: When Mimi is escaping from the castle and swinging on the drain pipes, the wire holding the whole lot up is visible. (00:29:10)

jle

Continuity mistake: After Mimi has been locked in her room, she rushes to the window to escape. In the interior shot, the window has one blind that is just the width of the center pane of glass. In the exterior shot there are 2 blinds which, together, cover all 3 panes. (00:28:50)
