Corrected entry: On Scaramanga's Island. When Goodnight knocks the guard into the "pool" of liquid helium, a sign above it states: "Absolute Zero Must Be Maintained" even today absolute zero hasn't been achieved, let alone maintained.

Correction: Bond films frequently deal with technologies that do not exist, as do many other films; this is simply an example of that. Films are not required to deal solely in things that are actually possible with the technology available in the real world at the time the film was made. It's that whole "fictional" thing.

Fiction or not, reaching absolute zero is impossible no matter what the technology, so the original correction is accurate in that sense. What the "Absolute Zero Must Be Maintained" sign probably means is that it must be maintained to within a specific bound, so it shouldn't be raised above a threshold else criticality or whatever occurs.
