Corrected entry: Before the final battle at Skyfall, M, Kincade and Bond have laid out a few guns on a table. These are the only available firearms since M distressingly asks, "And is this is all we got?" Among them is Bond's pistol, only usable by him because of the fail-safe hand-print sensor. However, we can see M firing with what appears to be Bond's pistol in the ensuing battle scenes.

Corrected entry: The car used in the chase at the beginning has Turkish number plates. However, it also has an EU (presumably a UK) country disc. Turkey is not in the EU.
Correction: While Turkey is not, as yet, a member of the European Union, it has been a member of the European Customs Union since 1995 and thus their number plates include the blue "Eurostripe", but without the European flag symbol (which is correctly missing in the film).

Skyfall (2012)
Corrected entry: In the government committee shoot-out scene. The same Black police officer gets shot twice. He comes though a door, and gets shot by Silva. Scene cuts a wide shot, the officer is crawling across the floor. Scene cuts to Bond, then cuts back to Silva shooting. Cuts to the same door the officer just came though, and he comes though again and gets shot again.
Correction: He's initially shot near the door (which he doesn't enter through - he's already in the room). He survives the first shot, as we see him crawling to take cover in the recessed doorway. Once Silva is distracted by Bond's arrival and Moneypenny shooting at him, the officer takes the opportunity to attempt another shot, moving out of cover in the doorway (once again not entering through the door, which is still closed) to give himself a better chance. Unfortunately, this only gets him shot again, this time apparently fatally. A clear sequence of events, none of which represent a mistake.

Skyfall (2012)
Corrected entry: When the explosion in MI6 occurs, they say that there are 6 deaths. When M is walking near the tombs with England flags, there are 7 or 8 tombs, not 6.
Correction: Pay attention to the exact wording of the news report: "Early reports from the scene indicate at least six dead." This clearly lends itself to the final total being higher, as additional bodies are found or the critically injured succumb to their wounds.

Corrected entry: Before an elevator moves, the outer doors close. There is no way Bond could have leaped and caught the bottom of a moving elevator.
Correction: Bond doesn't reach the lift through the doors - he uses the free-standing control column as a step to boost himself completely up and over the door assembly. He then latches onto the bottom of the lift as it rises up into the shaft above, which is not enclosed. At no point does he pass through the space now occupied by the closed outer doors.

Correction: Bond loses the personalised gun in the Macau casino. Once he returns to London, he's seen carrying a replacement gun of similar appearance, but there's no indication that this is also supposed to have the personalisation technology built into it, so M firing it during their last stand in the movie's climax is not unreasonable.
