Continuity mistake: When Bond hangs the clear sheet on the screen, the dark line is both next to and on top of the pink line showing the submarine course. A moment later, the clear sheet has moved, making the lines further apart. (00:13:58 - 00:14:41)

Suggested correction: The pink line is always visible and depending on the camera angle it's brighter in places than others, if the clear sheet with the black line on has moved it's very slight.
The mistake says nothing about the pink line not being visible or changing brightness. And if the clear sheet moved slightly, that's a mistake.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Corrected entry: This is the only James Bond film in which M's first name, Miles, is said. In the books, his name was said to be Admiral Sir Miles Messervy, in the novel "The Man with the Golden Gun".
Correction: I never heard M called Miles in "A View to Kill", I even checked transcripts of the film to see if "Miles" is ever said. Additionally, in "A View to Kill", M was played by Robert Brown, not Bernard Lee and Robert Brown played Admiral Hargreaves in "The Spy Who Loved Me." We know Judi Dench's M is not Miles, but a different character and M is also a title that's given. So the theory is is that Admiral Hargreaves became the new M, and thus wouldn't be addressed as Miles.
Correction: Gogol says, "After you, Miles" when M gestures to him to go before him in the scene where they walk across the catwalk in Q's laboratory. M politely offers him to go first by saying "After you, Alexis" but Gogol replies "No, no, no after YOU Miles." This was done to show how the two heads of the respective rival agencies have put their differences aside.
Correction: General Gogol, M's Russian counterpart, is introduced in this film. In later films, he and M are on a first-name basis, and he calls him "Miles," at least once that I can immediately recall, in "A View To A Kill."
