Corrected entry: The plane with Pussy and Bond is crashing very very fast. There is no way they could jump out in a parachute - and survive - at that speed.

Goldfinger (1964)
Correction: It's not an assumption without data, it's common sense. You cannot jump out of a jet with a parachute and survive. If you tried, you'd be caught in the slipstream and smashed against the side of the jet (or possibly sucked into an engine). This is why fighter jets have ejector seats, to clear the pilot away from the plane before the parachute opens. In a jet in a dive with no attitude control, it would be impossible to even make it to the door, as the jet would be spinning and you'd be thrown around.

Goldfinger (1964)
Corrected entry: After Goldfinger has lost the card game, Bond is looking at his face in the binocular. We see Goldfingers' hands when he snaps the pencil. How did Bond know to turn the binocular from Goldfinger's face to his hands in that exact second?
Correction: Artistic licence, not a mistake.

Correction: This is an assumption with no supporting data. They obviously grab parachutes, jump out of the plane, then pull the rip cord after they've cleared the jet (they do not "jump out in a parachute"). The submitter has no proof that people could not survive a jump from a plummeting plane.
