Dr. No (1962) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Dr. No (1962) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- When you see a black car pull away (with the assassins), reflected in the
windows of the car are the camera lights.
- When James lights his cigarette and Sylvia asks to raise the stakes, he
first has removed the cigarette from his mouth and placed his hand on the
shoe, but when he says "I have no objection," he is just taking it
out of his mouth. The camera cuts to his back, and his hand is back on the
shoe.
- When Bond enters Moneypenny's office, he hangs his hat so that it's facing
the door. After his meeting with M, his hat is now facing the other way.
- In M's office you can clearly see a boom light reflecting off a painting
above the mantlepiece.
- When Bond realizes a villain has picked him up from the airport, they
fight. At one point, Bond picks him up with his left hand, and cocks back
his right fist to hit him. He then hits him with the left hand!
- Bond has set some traps in his hotel room before he goes to meet with
Felix Leiter and the others. He's wearing a light-colored suit. He goes home
to the hotel by cab that night, and from that scene it directly cuts to the
one where he's asking Professor Dent about Strangways' samples. Bond is now
wearing a dark-colored suit. He must have made a change of clothes before he
went to Professor Dent, but he doesn't check his traps until he came back
from the Professor. (To make a change of clothes he must have been in the
closet and one of his traps was set there).
- One of Bond's traps in his room is his briefcase; he puts talcum powder on
it. When he is done he sets the case down on the right side of the table. To
the left is a mirror and by the mirror is an assortment of perfume bottles
and a shaving bag. When he returns, the contents on the table are reversed
exactly, and the perfume bottles are replaced by a magazine.
- When you see Bond in his hotel room for the first time, there are two
bottles on the table, a clear one and a green one. When he re-enters the
room and checks his traps, the green bottle has disappeared. Bond takes a
bottle from a drawer but that also is clear so what happened to the green
one?
- The LaSalle car that goes fluing into the ridge is clearly a different car.
LaSalles, specifically the '39 model are very distinctive, with the
headlights fixed to either side of the grille. The car which goes over the
side has the headlamp bezels built in to the fenders.
- When Bond finally reach Miss Tauro's house and she opens the door for him,
all the shutters on the door are at the same angle. As Bond steps in, one of
the shutters has changed it's position
- When Miss Tauro describes the way to her apartment she gives Bond the
following address: '239 Magenta Drive'. Later, when Bond calls for a taxi,
he gives the address '2171 Magenta Drive'.
- When Bond is waiting for Professor Dent at Miss Tauros house his tie
disappears for a short while when he attaches the silencer to his gun.
- Before Bond kills Professor Dent in Miss Tauro's house, he smokes a
cigarette. While he's doing this, you can see that his black socks changes
from short to long. This happens when the camera cuts between Bond and
Professor Dent.
- When Bond, Honey and Quarrel are hiding from the patrol-boat on Crab Key,
the guards voice, which is telling them to come out on the beach, is still
amplified when he doesn´t use the megaphone.
- When Bond, Quarrel and Honey are on Crab Key, Quarrel calls the two others
to show them the "dragon trail". Bond's and Honey's clothes
suddenly become perfectly dry after they've just left the water.
- Bond, Honey and Quarrel are hiding under the water when the guards arrive.
They are not noticed, but one guard comes later than the others. Bond stabs
him in the back and leaves him in the water, but there is no blood!
- When Dr. No crushes the gold Buddha statue at the dinner table with his
hands, it falls off the table onto the floor. However, when a wider camera
angle is shown, right before the guard takes Bond to the elevator, the gold
statue is back on the table.
- In the end, when Bond takes Chang's place, he turns the radiation level up
to 40-45. When he's fighting Dr. No up on the walkway, it goes down to 30,
but no one has touched the wheel!
- At the very end, when Bond and Honey are in the rowboat together you can
see that one is on the left side of the other. However, in the next shot
they have reversed positions.
- Lastly, at the end of the film when Bond and Honey are rescued in the
small boat, Felix walks greets them. What is strange though, is that there
is no mention about where Quarrel is, even though that Quarrel and Felix
were good friends.
From Russia With Love (1963) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming From Russia With Love (1963) (they are shown in order of
occurrace):
- When Tatiana enters Klebb's apartment in Istanbul and Klebb closes the
door you can see someone's hand pulling back the door, from the outside, to
keep it shut.
- When Klebb first arrives on SPECTRE Island by helicopter, the dialogue for
the entire sequence has been redubbed - possibly to correct faults caused by
the noise of the helicopter engine. However, watch everyone's lips! After
Klebb says "Where is he now?", Morzeny's henchman says "At
the lake", but his lips actually say "At the pool". A few
seconds later, Klebb says "Take me to the lake", but again, her
lips actually say "Take me to the pool". Morzeny then points and
says "Through the training area", but his lips say something else!
- Bond is in the bathroom of his hotel suite, he opens the bathtub tap to
have a bath. He's then disturbed by a noise, which turns out to be Tatiana
Romanova entering his bed. However, he never turns off the tap, so where did
all the water go?
- When Tatiana and Bond first meet, Tatiana is looking for Bonds scar on his
left lower back. That scar first appears in the bedroom. Bond does not have
the scar when he is taking off his shirt to have a bath!
- When we see the Bulgar tailing Tatiana to the St. Sophia Mosque, he is
wearing pretty much the same outfit he has worn throughout the movie, a
black shirt with a white tie and a gray/brown blazer. However, once inside
the mosque, he is wearing an off-white knitted vest over his black shirt and
white tie.
- The gypsy girl in the green top changes hairstyle from when she's taking
off the scarf until she ties it around her hip and starts fighting.
- When Bond, Kerim and Tatiana have located their train compartments they
step inside. When coming inside a white handkerchief appears in Bond's
breast pocket and disappears again when he steps outside to talk to Kerim.
- In the scene where Bond meets one of the Kerim's sons at the Zagreb train
station, we see the son waiting on the platform. We see his white
handkerchief in the right pocket of his suit but when he meets Bond, it has
changed sides to his left pocket.
- In the fight scene between Grant and Bond, Bond lets a kick fly with his
right foot, which magically turns into his left as the scene cuts.
- Bond injures his right hand during his fight with Grant on the train. He
has blood on his hand when Grant tries to strangle him with his
garotte-watch but when Bond takes the knife from the attaché case his hand
is clean. Directly after that, it's bloody again.
- The flower truck, that we see Bond and Tatiana getting into after they
sneak off the train, is not the same one they are in when attacked by the
helicopter in the next scene. Notice that a couple of fairly large wing
mirrors seem to have "grown" on the side of the truck, a couple of
fairly large words appear on the left door and the bonnet has changed shape.
- When Bond, Tatiana and a "hostage" are driving in the yellow
truck they get caught by a helicopter that throws hand grenades on them.
When one grenade hits just beside the truck, the windshield gets dirty with
mud and it gets very sooty. After Bond has taken care of the helicopter they
keep on going and when they get to the motorboat the windshield is clean!
- During the helicopter chase scene, while Bond is running, he pulls out his
sniper's rifle. At first, the Lektor is in his right hand and the rifle is
in his left. However, as different views of Bond are seen, the Lektor
appears in his left hand and the rifle in the right. They also switch back
and forth several times as Bond runs and dodges the helicopter.
- When Bond and Tatiana are leaving the flower truck to go to the boat, Bond
tells her to cast the rope off. She says "All right" but her lips
never move.
- As Tatiana removes the charts and flare pistol from the powerboat's locker,
she places the pistol in the center of the console in front of them, the
barrel pointing in Bond's direction. In the next two camera shots from the
front of the boat, the pistol is on the right side of the dash with the
barrel pointing in Tatiana's direction. In the fourth shot from the back of
the boat, the pistol can again be seen in the center pointing toward Bond.
- In the scene with Blofeld talking to Klebb and Kronsteen at the end, the
SPECTRE master's ring appears first on the right hand, then on the left and
then on the right again.
Goldfinger (1964) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Goldfinger (1964) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- # Bond and Leiter are watching Goldfinger playing cards in the beginning.
In the close-up Bond picks up a towel but when we see Bond and Leiter again
in a long shot, the towel is gone.
- # When Bond steps out onto the sun deck behind Jill Masterson, he reaches
down and turns off the transmitter that is in front of Jill. But when she
turns around and says "Who are you?" Bond is only just walking out
onto the deck.
- Bond and Jill Masterson are found in bed at the hotel. As the camera moves
up the length of the bed, the girls legs are in full view, however as the
camera cuts back from the ringing telephone, the girl's legs are now under
the bed clothes.
- # When Bond discovers the dead gold-covered Jill Masterson, she can't seem
to decide what to do with her right foot. The right foot alternates between
the same position and one where the foot is lying flat on top of the bed and
pointed to the right.
- # Bond is at dinner with M and Colonel Smithers and they start discussing
the brandy. The decanter is passed to Bond who smells it. The next shot is
of M, who is sitting across from Bond. However, the decanter is still in
front of M on the table! The next shot shows Bond still sniffing the
decanter he holds in his hand.
- # At the country club, Goldfinger wants to show Bond who´s really in
charge, so he tells Oddjob to throw his hat at a statue. Oddjob does that
and the head of the statue comes off but the hat continues it's flight. But
in the next scene you see the statue's head and the hat side by side on the
ground.
- When Bond is chasing Tilly Masterson in his Aston Martin and starts using
his gadgets, a dark sleeve can be seen opening the arm rest where the
console is hidden. However, Bond is wearing a light-brown suit.
- # After Bond blows Tilly's tires out, she gets out and looks at them. She
gets very mad over her tires but she apparently doesn't care about the
perfectly visible gash down the side of the car!
- # "Auric Enterprises" can be seen written on the side of the
jet, close to the cockpit, when it's on the ground. Yet in the previous
scenes where it is airborne there are no letters on the side of the plane at
all.
- # Oddjob takes Mr. Solo to the "airport" in a Lincoln. He then
kills Mr. Solo and leaves the Lincoln at a junk yard and a crane picks it up
to put it in a car crusher. When the crane lifts the car you can see that
the car has no engine but it had to have had it before.
- Note the position of the shadow cast by Oddjob's car upon pulling into the
junk yard after killing Mr. Solo. The shadow is directly beneath the car,
suggesting mid-day. The next shot, with Oddjob leaving the car, from further
back now shows the shadow to be casting well to the left of the car,
suggesting late afternoon! Could this be the amount of time it took the
mechanics to remove the engine as pointed out in the fault above?
- # When Oddjob drives away with the crushed Lincoln and we see the CIA
agents pass him, you can see that his car has whitewall tires. However, when
he drives up to Goldfinger's ranch, the car has blackwall tires.
- # When Bond and Goldfinger are on the porch, drinking Mint Julep you can
see a small angle of ashadow on the top of the pillars. A few moments later,
as a wide shot appears again, the shadow has changed drastically and too
quickly suggesting that this was filmed a lot later in the day.
- # When Bond is ducking from Oddjob's lethal hat in Fort Knox you can see
the hat landing somewhere on the bars that cover the gold bullion. Later on,
when Bond frees himself from the handcuffs, the hat is in the corner of the
walkway.

sleeves. However, if you look at his arms in the close-ups when he unwraps
Major Derval's face, he has long sleeves.
- When Bond is leaving Shrublands in his Aston Martin he is followed by
Count Lippe in his 1957 Ford. You can notice that Lippe's car when leaving
has shiny hubcaps and a large front license plate. When Lippe catches up
with Bond there is no front license plate. However, the plate is back on
when the car is blown up but then the hubcaps are missing.
- When Major Derval steps up to the co-pilots seat and sits down you can
clearly see him wearing an orange life preserver and strapping on the white
four-point safety harness. However, when he removes the gamma gas from his
pocket the safety harness is missing but is back in place in the next scene.

gets shot in his right leg. In the next scene, he is bloody on the left leg

while and finally, when he goes to the restroom at the nightclub Kiss Kiss
to clean himself up, he washes and bandages the left leg!

watch when he went down and he doesn't have one when he gets up.
- Bond and Leiter have just discovered the plane in the Golden Grotto and
Bond takes the necklace and watch of Major Derval. First you see Bond coming
up and passing both objects to Leiter with his right hand. Then he catches

Bond drops these objects from his right hand in his left hand without Leiter
giving the things back to him.
- In the last diving scene with Bond and Domino, Domino steps on an egg
spine with her right foot. When Bond takes out the spine, he does it from
her left foot.
- Bond swims to check out the bridge that Domino told him about. He's
wearing pink/red swimming trunks. When he steps out of the water the
swimming trunks are obviously wet. But when he crosses the road after the
guys in the truck leave and finds the scuba gear on the other side, his
swimming trunks are dry.
- In the underwater fighting scenes in the end, Bond joins the rest of the
force underwater to stop Largo from planting the nuclear missile. He helps a
couple of his own people and then he spots Largo and they have a short
fight. Largo manages to rip Bond's goggles off, and then Largo escapes. Bond
takes the nearest goggles he can find and they happen to be black. The
previous ones were blue. He puts them on and follows Largo. In the next
scene he has his blue glasses on again.
- Largo's stuntman in the underwater fighting scenes has blond hair, but the
original Largo, played by Adolfo Celi, has white/grey hair.
- In the end fight, the captain's hat is knocked off. But when you see him
attacking Bond a second time his hat is still on and gets knocked off again.

"The things I do for England."
- During the Russian space launch you can see palm trees in the right
foreground. Palm trees in Russia?
- When Bond is getting ready to fly Little Nellie, after the scene when he
tells Tiger to "listen in on 410 megacycles", in the wide shot of
Little Nellie you can see a member of Q branch removing a bracket which
holds the top rotor. But in the next close up of Connery the bracket is back
again!
- When Bond fights against the four helicopters with Little Nellie, the
tailfin gets shot, but the bullet holes disappear in the following scenes.

more clothes on top of her bikini. In the end though, when they are swimming
out from the big cave Rusaki, she only has the bikini again.

you can see a boat very far away. It doesn't appear in the next shot.
- When Bond is fighting one of Draco's men in Tracy's suite you can see a
kind of decoration that contains poles on the right wall. During the fight,
one of the poles is knocked out but in the following scenes you can see that
two are missing. At the end of the fight, Bond throws the other man through

its binding, but when the camera cuts to Bond for a close up he is shown
manually removing the ski from the binding.
- During the ski chase scene where Bond stops short of going over the edge
of the cliff, you can see the black cable tied round his ankle that stops
him from going further.

down, you can see the shadow of the cable car on the cliff where the scene
is being filmed from.
- When Blofeld's headquarters are being attacked by the three helicopters,
he tells two of his henchmen to "look after" Tracy. Tracy tries to
defend herself and during this fight one of them cuts the back of her right
hand by pressing it on sharp glass. Yet a few minutes later her hand is
blemish free.
- Following the scene above, Tracy scrapes the henchman's face with her
nails, drawing blood. Yet when he falls down the stairs a few moments later,
the cut has vanished.
- When Bond is trying to get to the lab he gets attacked by a scientist who
throws a bottle of acid at the glass doors that Bond is standing by. The

from Willard White's Desert facility Bond tries to maneuver through a tight
alleyway in his Mustang. To get through the tight space and avoid the police,

- When the man paid to kill Scaramanga is walking through the maze, a bunch

the jacket changes to just one slit at the back.
- Jaws' stuntman in the freefall sequence is wearing a different colour
shirt and doesn't have the metal teeth.
- When Corinne tries to escape from the dogs, she first wears bright
sandals. One second later, she wears dark boots!
- When the lid of the coffin goes up, on the funeral boat in Venice, the
"dead" man has his right hand on his left. In the next scene it's
vice versa, left on right.
- Bond is on the canals of Venice. Right before the funeral boat passes,
Bond goes under a bridge. Then the scene cuts to show the boat with the
coffin and when they show Bond again the bridge is gone. But then it is back
to knock the coffin off the boat!
- When Holly Goodhead first sees Bond in her hotel room, she had just shut
her balcony doors. However, right before the scene cut, the doors are wide
open, providing a view of the ocean!
- When Bond and Holly are on the tram, Holly is wearing high heels. But when
she lands after jumping off the cable car, she's wearing black athletic
shoes.
For Your Eyes Only (1981) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming For Your Eyes Only (1981) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- In the pre-title sequence where 007 spears the wheelchair, you can notice
that the stuntman (the pilot) wears headphones. When it cuts to show Roger
Moore you can clearly see that he is not wearing them.
- When Bond is at the club's swimming pool and escapes from the bad guys, he
grabs a big umbrella from a table. He jumps off a ledge and after he lands
you can see someone shooting at him. But there are already bullet holes in
the umbrella before the guy starts shooting.
- When Bond and Melina drive away in the car, the image of a person by the
car can be seen on Melina's side window. Nobody in the opposition was that
close, this must be a member of the crew.
- When Bond and Melina has rolled down the hill and lands on the road, the
right front wheel gets dented. In the following scenes, it's like new.
- As in the blooper above, in most of the car chase both front lights on
Melina's car has been broken. The left one breaks when the car rolls down
the hill. However, right after Bond says "I love a ride in the country,
don't you?", you can see that both lights are like new.
- When Bond meets Kristatos in the casino, Bond is playing baccarat. During
this sequence, the croupier calls out "neuf a la banque",
signaling that Bond has a nine. Bond's cards are turned over to reveal he
only has five.
- After Locque leaves the beach in the dune buggy, Bond runs over to check
on the Countess. When he arrives you can notice that her left eye twitches.
- When Bond and Colombo raid Kristatos' warehouse in the middle of the
night, Locque manages to escape after setting a bomb. Bond goes after Locque,
who's escaping by car. Bond follows by taking the stairs. He stops him at
the top of the stairs, but then it's broad daylight. When the chase started
it was night.
- When Kristatos finds Bond and Melina in the St. Georges, he tears Bond's
diving suit so that Bond starts to bleed. Both the bleeding and the torn
suit are not there when Bond returns to their vessel, the Neptune. However,
the tear and the cut are visible again when they climb out of the Neptune on
the surface.
- Just after Columbo says to Kristatos "you're going to pay for
it", we see a scene with Kristatos falling on dusty ground, dropping
the ATAC. However, in the next scene he's back in the steep stairs.
Octopussy (1983) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Octopussy (1983) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- In the pre-title sequence, as the Acrostar flies through the warehouse,
you can see if you look carefully enough the pole upon which the mock jet is
impaled on.
- When Vijay is "fishing" (while James is with Octopussy), his
shirt is 2 buttons shy of being buttoned to the top. When the intruders
sneak attack him from front and behind, they rip his shirt 4 buttons down
and nearly to the navel. Then when Gobinda walks down the steps and looks at
Vijay, his shirt is back to being buttoned 2 buttons from the top. Then,
when we look at Vijay from the vantage point of the goon with the buzzsaw,
we see Vijay's shirt is unbuttoned 3 or 4 notches again.
- During the film's climax, the stuntman doubling for 007's parachute can
clearly be seen when the wind blows open his jacket. Later, when Gobinda
falls off the plane, you can clearly see the orange straps of his parachute
underneath his jacket as he spins away.
A View To A Kill (1985) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming A View To A Kill (1985) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- Mayday and Zorin put Bond in the Rolls Royce and let it roll into the
lake, yet you can see the cable pulling the car into the lake.
- In the mine shaft scene between Bond, Mayday and Stacy, Mayday grabs
Stacy's uniform and tries ripping it to shreds. Stacy slips out of it in an
effort to give Mayday the slip, but Mayday rips the left side of Stacy's
skirt clear up the left thigh. And yet amazingly Stacy emerges from the
shaft with skirt intact. She's also wearing high heels, but on the Golden
Gate Bridge her heels somehow managed to give way to flat heeled shoes.
- The harness that holds Christopher Walken in as he reaches out of the
blimp to grab Tanya Roberts can clearly be seen for about two seconds. Also,
note the change in hair style between Mrs. Roberts and her stuntwoman as the
stuntwoman gets swept up into the Zeppelin.
The Living Daylights (1987) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming The Living Daylights (1987) (they are shown in order of
occurrace):
- The hole in the ice that Bond's tire rim cut is quite large when first cut.
But when the police car falls into the lake, the circle seems to have shrunk.
Also, notice how Bond's car tire is blown off in one sequence but then later
shows up when he makes the car jump over the Czech border patrol.
- Bond tells Kara to get in the jeep quickly. There's no place to land. The
plane's propellers stop twirling in mid air, yet before it crashes all four
propellers are twirling again.
- When Bond and Kara propel out of the back of the plane, it's mere feet off
the ground. Yet when it slams into the mountain, it has managed to climb
several hundred feet in seconds.
- Another fault with this stunt is that 007 says "There's nowhere to
land" while looking down at a mountain range. When the jeep parachutes
out of the plane there is a massive stretch of flat land where they could
easily of landed the plane.
- Bond infiltrates Whitaker's villa in the dead of night. Yet when he knocks
out the guard patrolling the pool area, it is daylight outside.
Licence To Kill (1989) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Licence To Kill (1989) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- Bond and Leiter can be seen circling the church at low altitudes in the
chopper, but when they jump out, they are suddenly very high up.
- Bond, in a stolen tanker truck, realizes he's about to be shot at with one
of the Stinger Missles. So he steers the tanker over a hump and tilts the
truck on it's left wheels. This allows the Stinger Missle to miss Bond and
hit a tanker Bond forced into the side of a mountain minutes earlier. The
only problem with this sequence is the long shot that shows the area behind
Bond is flat, straight and without a tanker truck.
- Bond mentions to Lupe that he thought she hated "that thing"
(the Iguana). How could he know that since he wasn't around when she told
that to Sanchez?
GoldenEye (1995) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming GoldenEye (1995) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- In the pre-title sequence, Bond is carrying a grey/black bungee cord, but
when he does the jump, it's white!
- Bond acquires gloves when he has fallen out of the plane and jumps on the
motorcycle.
- During Bond and Xenia's baccarat game, take a close look at the cards.
Xenia's first hand when Bond arrives is 2 blanks and a 7 - 007. Bond's
winning hand later is 2 picture cards and a six, or, in baccarat terms, 006.
- # When we see Bond chasing Xenia down the mountain in the Aston-Martin,
the numberplates on Xenia's car are yellow, but when her car is parked
outside the casino, they are white. This is actually not a blooper, but a
common misconception. It is actually normal for numberplates to be two
different colors in some countries.
- After his meeting with Xenia at the casino, Bond spies on her as she gets
onto a boat, with the aid of his zoom-lens camera. We see him put the camera
up to his left eye. The shot then cuts to Xenia on the boat. When it cuts
back, he has the camera up to his right eye.
- When Bond and Natalya eject from the helicopter, you can clearly see two
white parachutes. But when the capsule lands, the parachutes are red and
white.
- The tank plows through a building, drives over cars, through a Perrier
truck and a statue. If you look at the front mud flaps throughout the
sequence you will notice that in one scene they are very dirty, yet towards
the end of the sequence they look as good as new!
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) (they are shown in order of
occurrace):
- When the man is choking Bond in the plane, and you can see the other plane
on top of Bond's, the man in back of Bond is not pulling on the cord at all.
- In the scene where Bond, M and Tanner are taking a ride, the black glass
window retards to reveal Miss Moneypenny. She hands him some papers to sign.
She says "For Queen and country, James" and then it shifts to an
outside shot where we can see the black glass winding back up. The scene
then cuts back to the internal shot where, Bond hands the signed papers back
to Miss Moneypenny, and now the glass is back down again.
- When Bond is using the phone to direct the car the first time (when he
gets the car from Q), you can see someone driving it. There is a shadowlike
person on the driver's side for a very short time.
- When we see Bond and Paris talking at Carver's party, she asks him if
"he still sleeps with a gun under his pillow". When we see this,
Bond is looking at Paris all the time. When we watch the same thing again on
Gupta's monitor, Bond is glancing out over the people in the room and not
looking at Paris at all.
- When the tires reinflate themselves, they change from sports tires to
classic tires.
- After Bond and Wai Lin are captured and handcuffed together in the
high-rise, Bond's blue shirt is buttoned up about 3/4 of the way. After they
slide down the banner, it's buttoned up one more notch.
- # When the helicopter tilts forward and chases Bond and Wai Lin, it
defeats the laws of aerodynamics. In real life a helicopter only tilts
forward like that when it accelerates at a very high speed. When the
helicopter hovers or moves forward slowly it has to do that at a horizontal
angle.
The World Is Not Enough (1999) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming The World Is Not Enough (1999) (they are shown in order of
occurrace):
- The shots of the sub diving show the sub inside the building, however Bond
dives off the outside of the building onto the sub.
- During opening chase there are several instances when Bond goes from
completely wet to dry to wet again.
- During the opening boat chase scene, Bond flips the Q-boat over the
assassin's boat to knock out her machine gun. As the boat is flipping, if
you look closely you can see that the stunt-double is wearing a helmet with
a plastic face shield. It is only visible for the few frames in which the
boat is in mid air.
- During the boat chase, when Bond fires the torpedoes, the top one fires,
but then when it shows the close up, the bottom torpedo is gone and the top
torpedo is back.
- When the copter drops King and Bond off near the survey lines, just before
the parahawk attack, there is no pile of snow below it, but when Bond and
King get out, there is a pile of snow below the copter to break their fall
(and wouldn't the rotor blades blow the snow away?)
- X-ray glasses used by Bond in the casino are scientificly impossible, as
there would need to be an x-ray reflector on the other side of whatever Bond
is looking at to reflect the x-rays back.
- Davidov's car is a sedan at Electra's office, when Bond gets in, however,
when Davidov drives it through the gates to the airfield, it has suddenly
become a hatchback.
- When the pipeline blows, if you look closely, you can see that there are
actually 3 separate charges going off.
- Two lines in the film sugest that Bond in second-in-command of the MI6.
the first is when Bond tries to access the file about Electra's kidnapping,
and the computer says 'level 1 access required'. The 2-I-C would logicly
have level 1 access, however, Bond then says to M, "You're the only one
who could have sealed that file", implying that Bond has the
second-highest security clearance. Then, after the pipeline explodes,
Robinson says to Bond "M is missing. I am awaiting instructions."
Again, if the head of the service disappears, then the 2-I-C takes over, and
the fact that Robinson went directly to Bond again implies that Bond is
2-I-C of the MI6.
- When Bond and Zukovsky are attacked by the two copters at the caviar
factory, Bond gets to the car and targets the copter in front of his car,
which is the one with the sawblades, however when the missile fires, the
copter destroyed is the copter without the saw blades, and the one with the
saw blades is suddenly behind Bond's car.
- Why did Zukovsky drive his rolls-royce backwards?
- When Valentin enters the game room with Electra and Bond, he has no limp.
Later at the caviar factory, the limp is back.
- When the oil pipeline explodes it clearly explodes in three different
places if you watch closely. This isn't possible with only a single
explosive charge.
Die Another Day (2002) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Die Another Day (2002) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- Bond and Colonel Moon use hovercrafts to get through the mine fields.
After Moon goes over the cliff his father is right there to arrest Bond. It
should have taken him forever to get there because he would have had to
drive through the same mine fields that Bond and Moon floated over.
- When Bond injures Graves wrist during the fencing, there is a red string
on the wrist. Is this string supposed to be blood or is it a part of the
suit?
- During the sword fight between Bond and Graves on the terrace, you can
notice Graves all of a sudden changes hair color when shot from the back
(turning more red). Stuntman stepping in for Toby Stephens?
- Shouldn't Bond have noticed that his gun was empty of bullets because the
weight was different?
- Bond is without gloves in most of the scenes surrounding the ice palace.
Driving the scooter back to the ice palace after parachute surfing should
have created severe frost bite on his hands!
- When Graves, Bond et al are on the plane at the end of the film there is a
glass bit at the front of the plane enabling Graves to watch Icarus blasting
the land mines. However, in a much earlier shot there is no glass bit at the
front of the plane, there is just a normal nose.
- During the scene in which Bond escapes from MI6 custody, after inducing
drop in heartbeat, he seizes the defibrillator paddles and uses them to
shock the two male orderlies. However, only one of those paddles would have
administered a shock; the other one is only there to form a circuit for the
electric charge, therefore, at best it should only have shocked one of the
orderlies.
- In the scene where James Bond is cutting through the ice with the watch
laser, we clearly see that the ice is (at most) 15cm thick - yet there are
dozens of cars parked on the same ice. They'd have fallen straight through.
- In the Cuban clinic, Bond unplugs a wire from a camera that's covering the
secret entrance. However, he only unplugs the wire that controls the zoom/focus
(you can see the wire goes to a small motor or something on top of the
lens). The power and video feed comes/goes from the thicker cable coming out
the back of the camera into the wall.
- The first time we see the inside of the transport plane, the helicopter is
very close to the yellow car, with its tail sticking most of the way over
it. When Bond and Jinx come to escape and start up the conveyer belt, the
yellow car's quite far back from the helicopter.
Casino Royale (2006) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Casino Royale (2006) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- Near the end when Bond is following Vesper, the camera shows her from
behind and then from the front, the people around her are completely
different people.
- In a scene towards the end of the movie where Bond and Vesper are lying on
the beach, Bond has sand on his back through most of the scene. When they
start to kiss, in the distant shot towards the end of the scene, he has no
sand on his back at all.
- In the scenes at Miami airport you see numerous CSA planes (Czech
Airlines). Czech Airlines offer no direct flights to Miami, however Prague
airport, where this scene was shot, is full of CSA planes.
- During the scene at the restaurant in Montenegro (actually filmed in the
Czech Republic) you see a payphone with a Czech Telecom logo on it (itself a
piece of history as these are all now rebranded O2).
- When Bond starts to type his resignation letter on the boat in Venice he's
wearing an Omega Planet Ocean watch with a black strap. When he finishes
typing and closes the laptop he's wearing an Omega Seamaster with a silver
strap - a completely different watch.
- When Bond enters his password in the casino, the last two buttons he
presses are 4 and 7. He later gives the password as Vesper. On an
alpha-numeric keypad, the last two digits of Vesper should be 3 and 7.
- In the final hand of the poker game, everybody is all-in and Bond wins.
However, LeChiffre has a greater value of chips, meaning that Bond can only
win from each player up the amount he put into the pot. Any money in excess
of this should have gone back to Le Chiffre and the game continued between
him and Bond. In the movie, Bond wins everything.
- During the poker games as usual the gamblers say: "check",
meaning they pass the opportunity to bet to the next person. However, in the
Polish cinema translation the subtitles say "czekam" instead of
"sprawdzam", which is the word which should be used. "Czekam"
means "I'm waiting" - while it sounds similar to
"check", it makes no sense in the context of the game.
- If a house collapses into the waters of a Venice channel, after the
collapse the water would be so murky that the under water visibility would
be zero. But in the underwater scene the visibility is like that of a
swimming pool.
- During the chase at Miami airport the gas truck gets shot at and the rear
tires blow. When Bond slides the truck to a halt the tires are fully
inflated again.
- Bond follows the girl through the streets of Venice. The camera follows
him with a track-shot. Bond turns left, going into some kind of alley, and
the dolly keeps going. The dolly, camera and crew are reflected in a window
for a second.
- Just after Vesper has shocked James, the lead connecting the defibrillator
to the chest pad can be seen to have come loose. When the camera cuts back
to James, the lead has been reconnected. Note this is after the shock, not
the disconnected lead that forms the drama.
- On the train to Montenegro, Bond & Vesper are swaying or rocking with
the train, but the wine on the table is not.
- In Uganda, when the bulldozer is about to break through a fence with a
guard in a blue shirt standing in front, the first shot shows him jumping
away. In the following angle, a split second later, he is back there and
runs away instead of jumping.
- When Bond is trying to climb onto the aviation fuel truck, his trouser leg
rides up and you can see the white protective suit the stuntman is wearing
under the costume.
- When James Bond is supposedly in Montenegro, this was filmed in the Czech
Republic - although they changed most of the signs they forgot some. When
they are having a drink in the square there is a visible sign saying "Bily
Kun" which means "White Horse" in Czech.
- When Bond first gets into his Aston Martin outside the Casino Royale, the
driver's door is open. Then the shot cuts and the door is closed.
- When Bond is hunting the bomb terrorist at the beginning, they both cross
a fence of a building site. At the bottom of the fence is a heap of sand.
When the terrorist crosses, the heap approximately reaches the middle of the
fence. When Bond crosses a second later, the heap is suddenly higher,
although the bulldozer, that is dumping sand, doesn't reach to the fence.
- In the scene in which Bond is in his car after being poisoned, attempting
to set up his defibrillator, the cardiac monitor at M16 headquarters (or
wherever that was) displays "ventricular tachycardia". The rapid
beeping of the monitor makes this serious heart arrhythmia plausible, but
the beeping then gradually slows, suggesting 2nd or 3rd degree heart block
or approaching asystole (complete absence of heartbeat) rather than
continued ventricular tachycardia or cardiac arrest (ventricular
fibrillation). As tension mounts with his apparent impending death, the
loose lead is reconnected, the defibrillator finally fires and he is saved.
This sequence is not credible because defibrillation has no place in
treating a slow heart rhythm, and certainly not heart block or asystole. The
"correct" sequence of events should have been deterioration of
ventricular tachycardia to ventricular fibrillation, and then the
defibrillator shock to convert his heart back to a normal, life-saving
rhythm.
- When Bond is being tortured in the seatless wicker chair, in one shot when
you look at the right side of Bond's face the blood is running in an
unbroken line down his face. The next shot where you see his face the blood
has been smudged, but in the next shot, where you see his right cheek, the
blood is running unbroken again. This happens a few times in this scene.
Quantum Of Solace 2008 Bloopers
- It says how Bond
placed the earphone in his left ear and then takes it out of his
right. This is wrong because when we see him put it in, we see Bond
through the mirror which would reflect back as being his left side,
but is really his right side, thus Busting the Blooper.
- In the rooftop chase between Bond and Mitchell, it is obvious that
both characters are wearing black running shoes, whereas before the
chase started both were wearing smart black suit shoes.
In the DC3 sequence, Bond lowers the undercarriage in one shot, but
in the next shot the undercarriage is up again.
During the film, Bond flies to the airport in Bregenz, Austria.
There is no airport in Bregenz.
When Bond is talking to Mathis at a table at the cottage in Italy,
Mathis’ watch faces the side of his wrist, to be easily seen on
camera. Then in the next shot it suddenly faces the outside of his
wrist like watches are usually worn.
Never Say Never Again (1983) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Never Say Never Again (1983) (they are shown in order of
occurrace):
- Towards the end of the movie, James Bond (Sean Connery), has been chained
to the wall of a castle by the evil villain and left to die, eventually to
be eaten by the lurking vultures. As he is escaping, a guard comes to check
on him while carrying a AK-47 rifle. Fortunately for Bond, the rifle is
empty as there is no ammunition magazine inserted into the gun.
- When some bloke is falling from a tower towards the sea, you can hear a
splash but he is still falling, you can see his shadow.
Casino Royale (TV - 1954) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Casino Royale (TV - 1954) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- During one of the scenes when James is in the hallway of the hotel, going
from his room to the elevator, you can easily spot the shadow of the boom
microphone on the wall.
- # During the scene where James is trying to hide the check that he won. He
goes to his hotel room to hide it in the number plate, when he is unscrewing
the plate you'll notice a bright light highlight him and then when he
finishes the light quickly goes away.
Casino Royale (1967) Bloopers
Bloopers are mistakes that happened in production of a film. Most of them you
can notice just by watching the film. Here are the ones that happened when
filming Casino Royale (1967) (they are shown in order of occurrace):
- Early in the film, James Bond (David Niven) is in the grounds of his
mansion with some dignitaries. The army, hidden nearby, attack his house
with missiles. The first shell destroys the house, it is then seen in
perfect condition, and the next shell destroys it again.
- There is a scene where Ursula Andress spins in slow motion on her bed,
while pink feathers float around her. In the next scene you can see the pink
feathers still in her hair. In the next they are pink hearts.
