Factual error: The only railroad in Panama is runing North-South right along the Panama Canal. Not very usable to get "deep into the jungle" - and there are no mountains.

Jacob La Cour

Factual error: A metal suitcase with USD 100 million in cash would not be able to float on water - the weight would simply be too great to overcome the buoyancy effect of what little air might be trapped in the small space remaining.

Jacob La Cour

Plot hole: The Devonshire is supposedly only 11 miles from the Chinese coast. If that was the case, the coast would be visible on the radar, and they would know that something was wrong.

Jacob La Cour

Character mistake: When Carver is to go live to the World, his assistant is counting down 5, 4, 3, 2. She does not say 1 and 'Now', as they never do, in order for her voice not to be heard on the broadcast. But if you do the counting, Carver starts before she would have reached 'Now'. Consequently there would be a risk that Carver's first words were not heard on the live broadcast. That would be very unprofessional.

Audio problem: In the drug dealer's attic, when he shoots a rat, there is a very long echo - as there would be outside - for example in a forest. But inside, the echo would be much, much shorter. (00:43:25)

Jacob La Cour

Factual error: In the scene inside Karen's house, the water level rises way too fast. The house is not in an isolated pool of water, but connected to the entire city. So for the water level to rise several meters inside the house would mean that the water rose several meters in the entire city. And that could not happen that fast. If it was a wave from the lake, the water level would drop again.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: During the conversation while driving in the security truck, the amount of rain on the windshield changes significantly between the shots from inside and outside the truck.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: During the car chase the number of water droplets on the rear window of Rachel's car changes between shots. In shots from inside the window is completely blocked, but when she parks the car the window is clear.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: In the colonel's robot there is a rear-view mirror. When we see the robot from the outside, it is very close to his head. But when we see shots from inside the robot, there is plenty of room around his head and we don't see the mirror.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: The plane for Paris leaves in the morning - around 10 am. Shortly after take-off (it is still morning in Chicago) it is dark outside the windows. Even though the flight path from Chicago to Paris goes a bit north, it would not get dark that fast.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: When Mrs MacAllister is trying to get on the plane to Dallas, it is light in Paris. The movie cuts to evening scenes in Chicago. That cannot be. If it is evening in Chicago it is either night or very early morning in Paris - too early for it to be light. And when the plane takes off, it is darker than during check-in - showing that it is evening and not morning. December dusk in Paris is noon in Chicago.

Jacob La Cour

Factual error: Shooting at a gas tank with buck shot at 50 meters distance will not make it explode (it likely won't even dent the surface), and lead pellets do not cause sparks when they hit.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: When Bourne says goodbye to Marie when it is snowing, the snowflakes in Marie's hair changes between shots.

Jacob La Cour

Factual error: Bond fires two torpedoes against the other speed boat on the Thames. They both hit, but in the next clip only the rear end of the boat is burning slightly. That must be some very weak torpedoes if a fiberglass boat is not completely destroyed by them.

Jacob La Cour

Factual error: When Bond and Christmas are inside the oil pipeline, there are lights in the 'ceiling'. Why would there be lights inside an oil pipe? It also sounds dangerous.

Jacob La Cour

Plot hole: When the hole is blown in the facade of the MI6 headquarter we first see flames and small debris - and then comes one more blast. Where did that come from? The money-bomb had already exploded and blown the hole in the building.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Bond's grip on the banker changes between shots. When seen from Bond's side, he holds him both by the tie and part of his jacket, but when seen from the banker's side he only holds the tie.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: When in the monastery in Azerbaijan the position of Electra's scarf and hair changes between shots.

Jacob La Cour

Deliberate mistake: The currency conversion program Bond uses to convert GBP into USD only has fields for a 7 figure amount. That's rather small for an organisation like MI6.

Jacob La Cour

Revealing mistake: When Bond escapes the Swiss bank through the window with the very large suitcase supposedly full of money (paper), he swings it around like it's empty (which it probably was).
