Die Another Day goofs

Bond requests a bottle of Bollinger from '61 in the hotel in Hong Kong; however, the bottle in his room is merely a fake. It is actually a standard "Bollinger Special Cuvée" produced around the film's release, with the year "1961" added to the top corners of the label. Authentic vintage Bollinger bottles from 1961 featured a completely different label, which bears no resemblance to the modern version depicted in the film.

When Bond is conversing with M in the underground, there is a shot over Bond's shoulder that captures his mouth moving even though he isn't saying anything.

When Bond makes his entrance on the platform of the deserted underground station, the sound of the stairwell door can be heard slamming shut behind him. However, wider shots of the platform reveal that there was no door, and Bond simply materialised on the platform without accessing it through any door at all.

At the very conclusion, the nocturnal scene featuring Vauxhall Bridge and the MI6 Headquarters includes a Wright Gemini double-decker bus, constructed in 2002, passing prominently in the foreground. However, the sound of the bus that has been dubbed in is unmistakably that of a Routemaster bus from the early 1960s.

While examining a borrowed Smith & Wesson revolver in Cuba, Bond opens the cylinder and spins it, producing a series of rapid clicks that sound like "ZZZZZZ". However, S&W revolvers are silent when the cylinder is open and rotated in this fashion.

When Jinx shoots the doctor at the clinic in Cuba, she takes two shots. First, she fires one shot, then she rises to her feet and takes a second shot. For this second shot, the sound effect of a bullet being fired through a silencer is played, but if you observe closely, not only does nothing emerge from the gun, but it also seems that she doesn’t even pull the trigger.

At the conclusion of the film, as Bond and Jinx are aboard the helicopter, he attempts to initiate its start-up sequence, at which point you can hear a piston engine making an effort to ignite. This helicopter is a NOTAR, fitted with a Rolls-Royce turbine engine.

Bond activates the car's invisibility feature and drives it in reverse up the wall to evade Zao's vehicle, securing the car in an upright position with its spikes. However, we never actually hear Bond rev the engine to accelerate in reverse so swiftly.

When Bond is apprehended by a German guard outside Graves' quarters at the Icelandic facility following the Icarus demonstration, the guard inquires what he is doing there and instructs him to raise his hands and turn around. For a significant portion of his dialogue, the guard's lips do not move.

During the ice lake car chase sequence, as Bond's Aston Martin glides along its roof, Zao fires a rocket at him. When the rocket is launched and zooms past the Aston Martin, the accompanying sound resembles that of a racing car, likely from a Formula 1 engine.

When Graves proposes a thousand dollars for every point in a duel, Bond contemplates the offer but refrains from speaking. Immediately afterwards, there is a close-up shot of Verity, and Bond can be seen at the periphery of the frame. His lips are moving, suggesting he is saying something, but the audio track remains silent.

When Bond makes his way back to the Ice Palace (following the theft of the land speed vehicle), he approaches his car. Just before getting inside, he takes cover behind it. However, this action is futile, as the cameras on the side of the vehicle would transmit his image to the opposite side, due to the car being in 'stealth mode'. This means that any guards who happened to glance over would easily spot 007 crouching in the snow.

When Bond is handling the sniper rifle, Jinx spouts some gibberish about "Windage 1 and 1/2." This detail holds no value for Bond, lacking any sort of guidance or measurement. Furthermore, we learn that Bond is only firing from a distance of 300 metres, rendering such information redundant.

Zao is not a name of Korean origin; it is, in fact, Chinese. While many Koreans may possess Chinese names, including Zao, their language does not contain a "z" sound, leading them to pronounce the name as "Jo" or "Cho".

The pronunciation of Zao corresponds to Chinese, yet the widely recognised Chinese surname is pronounced Zhao, which is both spelled and articulated differently from Zao. Naturally, there is nothing stopping an individual from selecting any Chinese characters pronounced Zao as their surname, but such a choice would be rather unusual.

When Bond disconnects the video camera in the Cuban clinic, he removes the zoom lens drive cable instead of the video feed cable. Consequently, the camera will probably remain operational, albeit without the ability to change the focal length.

The British official declares that if the beam "crosses the 38th Parallel, we shall unleash everything we have!" The 38th Parallel has not served as the dividing line between the two Koreas since 1950. The DMZ separates the two nations, and the majority of the 38th Parallel is situated to the south of the DMZ.

007 is not donning the proper fencing attire during his bout. Being right-handed, the zip should be positioned on his left side. Additionally, the jacket he is wearing ends at the waist. Such jackets are intended solely for Sabre fencing, not Epee.

(Around 0:26:15) When Bond enters asystole (flatline on the ECG), the nurse and the technicians hurry to defibrillate (administer an electric shock) him and give atropine. However, defibrillation is not appropriate in cases of asystole. Furthermore, although atropine was employed for flatline at that time, the initial medication administered should have been epinephrine.

During the fencing bout, Graves leads 2-0 in a first to 3 match, as Bond's fencing skills are clearly inferior (his aggression gives it away). Subsequently, Bond scores a fortunate hit/scratch on Graves' wrist, prompting Graves to inexplicably alter the rules to standard swords, stating that the victory goes to the first to draw blood; a change that would benefit a more aggressive swordsman. Furthermore, in the "traditional method" of epee combat that Graves alludes to, any blood drawn from the body was considered valid, not solely from the torso.

Bond, in quintessential Bond fashion, requests an extravagant meal and beverages at the Hong Kong Hotel – quail's eggs, lobster, and champagne. Such delicacies are hardly what one would consume following an extended period of torture.

After miraculously surviving months of torment in North Korea, 007 seems to have retained his weight and is effortlessly able to think, speak, walk, and run.

At the conclusion of the film, as Moneypenny composes the after-action report, she writes "Demilitarised" with a Z. This is not the correct British English spelling.

When Bond prepares to enter his 'invisible' vehicle equipped with adaptive camouflage, he squats behind it, similar to how one might try to avoid being spotted near a regular car. However, this act is ultimately futile, as the camouflage technology would project his likeness clearly onto the opposite side of the vehicle.

Bond takes on the identity of a Dutch or Danish arms trader, but he does not alter his accent when encountering Zao or Moon. If either of them were familiar with such accents, they would likely have doubts about his true identity.

When Bond arrives at the ice palace, the valet enters his vehicle but does not drive it away, and in the subsequent shot of the car, the valet is absent from inside.

When Gustav descends in the parachute, a man is observed assisting him in removing the harness. However, when the camera angle shifts, the man is no longer visible, and it appears that Gustav is unfastening it on his own.

Bond's ring, which shatters glass, mysteriously changes ownership and at times seems to be absent altogether during the film.

Colonel Moon is considerably shorter than James Bond. However, upon transforming into Gustav Graves, he matches Bond's height. He gains several inches in stature.

When Jinx emerges from the water, she is, without a doubt, drenched. Yet, only moments later, when we see her again, she appears completely dry.

When Bond and his companions emerge from the sea onto the shore and push their hoods back, one can observe that his hair is drenched, which would be accurate if he were in a wetsuit. However, moments later, as they approach the landing helicopter and unzip their suits, they appear fully clothed and dry underneath—this would be plausible if they were in dry suits, but his hair would not be wet if he were wearing such a suit.

When Bond requests a Mojito in Cuba, it is prepared using golden rum; however, when the cocktail is presented to him, it has been (accurately) crafted with white rum.

(at approximately 34 minutes) Bond finds himself in a Cuban bar, poised to peer through a pair of binoculars. There are prominent diagonal shadows cast upon him from the bar's roof. However, when the scene shifts to him lifting the binoculars, all those shadows have vanished - the shot is clear.

When M presents Bond with a glass of bourbon on the rocks in her office, you can hear the sound of ice clinking, yet there is never any ice visible in the glass.

The substantial aircraft that Graves employs to make his getaway is an Antonov 124. This plane features a robust nose that tilts upwards to enable loading from both the front and the back. However, when they enter the front section of the aircraft, it has transformed into an IL-76.

When Jinx is situated in the aircraft's cockpit, it is actually the cockpit of the An-225 Mriya, rather than the An-124 fuselage/Il-76 nose aircraft that was utilised in the film. This is clear due to the presence of six power levers. The plane featured in the movie is equipped with only four engines.

Following the Icarus demonstration, a blond henchman approaches the laptop to shut it down, with a dark-haired henchman standing to his left. After the close-up of Bond, it becomes apparent that the positions of the two henchmen have swapped.

When Bond jumps through the window at the clinic, he grabs a grape from the fruit bowl. As he passes through the door of the room, he is seen chewing and then puts another grape into his mouth to eat. Nevertheless, he only took one grape, so he cannot have been eating anything beforehand, despite the movement of his mouth.

When Graves is parachuting over Buckingham Palace, a bird’s-eye view of his descent shows that the considerable crowd of journalists awaiting his arrival has vanished.

Bond examines his sword twice in quick succession (in an unnatural manner) prior to the fencing match.

The cheque that Jinx presents to Dr. Alvarez varies from the one shown a few shots afterwards. The handwriting differs, and the surname has changed from Johnson to Jordan.

When the Aston Martin is overturned, its wing mirror casing is broken off (with a fragment flying away), yet in all the subsequent scenes within the Ice Palace, the car has unbroken wing mirrors.

When Bond attempts to activate the descending helicopter, the indicators flash in sequence three times rather than just once.

After being retrieved from the Koreans in a prisoner swap, and whilst conversing with "M" in the hospital, Bond has a significant injury on his left shoulder that appears and disappears or shifts position.

The quality of the beverage that Bond and Jinx enjoy together.

When Bond engages in flirtation with Jinx following her Ursula Andress-inspired entrance, the position of his cigar shifts in and out of his mouth based on the angle of the shot.

When Bond is attempting to charm Jinx following her entrance reminiscent of Andress, the cigar he is smoking shifts in and out of his mouth depending on the angle of the camera.

When James Bond places the remote detonation device into the C4 while aboard the helicopter at the start of the film, the initial shot indicates that it is not completely inserted, but the close-up shows that it indeed is.

When Bond is attempting to charm Jinx following her emergence from the ocean, his cigar alternates between being in and out of his mouth from one shot to the next.

After the Icarus demonstration, there is a woman in a fur coat positioned behind Bond who is not donning sunglasses. In a later wide shot, she takes off her glasses along with several others in the audience.

When Bond is dashing down the dome, the rope shifts between shots. (It alternates from a steel cable to a climbing rope and back again, most noticeable at the knot.)

Jinx begins to slice into a whole green fig while in bed. In the subsequent shot, she is again chopping a half of a guava in two (resulting in two quarters of the initial whole).

A metal support in the damaged aircraft window consistently vanishes and reappears between different takes.

At the North Korean airbase, Bond and Jinx try to eliminate Colonel Moon with a sniper rifle. However, it's quite apparent that they aren't carrying this weapon when they parachute into hostile territory.

When Bond touches down after riding the massive pressure wave, the clouds behind him increase dramatically between shots, going from a handful to an entire sky full.

The zip on Jinx's catsuit shifts up and down between different shots during the laser scene.

Throughout the ice car pursuit, the back bumper of Bond's Vanquish is a simple silver hue; however, upon entering the Ice Palace, two black strips emerge on the bumper and remain for the duration of the Ice Palace sequence.

Bond's silhouette, while he glides upon the ice wave, appears to move erratically across the surface of the water.

In the scene where Colonel Moon is firing at the helicopter, a soldier standing beside him has his weapon raised. However, in one particular shot, the soldier's weapon is lowered before he raises it again.

Bond consistently wears his watch on his left wrist during the film. After spending the night with Miranda, he places the watch back on his left wrist. Yet, when he steps outside and removes the watch, it has mysteriously shifted to his right wrist.

When Bond is "surfing" with the parachute and the trunk cover (from the jet-powered car), as he approaches the large iceberg from which he leaps, he draws the parachute towards himself, with his hands positioned below his waist. In the subsequent shot, his hands are raised above his head.

Lighting apparatus can be seen mirrored in the land-speed-record vehicle prior to Bond launching it over the ice precipice. Hanging vertically on the icy drop, the camera and the rear soundstage wall are likewise visible, reflected in its surface.

A boat can be seen in the bottom right corner of the screen capturing footage of the three surfers during the opening scene.

The camera makes an appearance in the rear of the Aston Martin in two separate scenes when Bond rescues Jinx and lifts her out of the vehicle.

Crew members, nearly in a row, are seen in Bond's binoculars at the beach bar while he gazes out at the ocean. (These individuals are not background actors at the beach bar, as later shots show that there are only a few tables with very few patrons nearby.)

Reflected in Miranda's sunglasses during the first demonstration of the Icarus satellite.

Korea, be it North or South, lacks any beaches suitable for surfing.

A water buffalo observes the vehicles colliding in the rice field, allegedly in Korea, a location where no water buffaloes are found (water buffaloes are tropical animals; Korea has a climate and latitude akin to that of New England).

There are completely no gymnosperm forests present in Iceland whatsoever. Therefore, a wildfire initiated by a laser weapon is not possible.

Bond and Zao find themselves exchanged in the midst of a dense coniferous woodland. Panmunjom, the sole location along the DMZ where it is possible to traverse between North and South Korea, consists of verdant fields and rolling hills.

The ice fields and glaciers of Iceland are primarily located in the central region of the country, rather than along the coastline, which is largely desolate and stony. One notable exception to this is Jökulsárlón, a lake that is well-known, albeit significantly smaller than the lake depicted.

Bond and Zao are swapped at the Bridge of No Return located in the Korean DMZ. This is portrayed as a heavily defended border crossing, with armed soldiers confronting one another. In reality, the bridge lacks fortifications aside from minor guardhouses and hasn’t been utilised for prisoner exchanges since the 1970s.

The Korean DMZ is a nature preserve approximately 4 kilometres wide. It contains no minefields. There are no soldiers present, apart from the Joint Security Area. Colonel Moon would find it impossible to conceal a base in that location.

After making his getaway from the Royal Navy cruiser and swimming to the banks of Hong Kong, Bond reaches the Kowloon area of the city (with Hong Kong Island visible in the background). However, there is no Yacht Club located in Kowloon; it can only be found on Hong Kong Island.

When Jinx was inquired about her origins, she answered, "I'm from (Lee-ma) Ohio." Considering that Halle and the writers were brought up in Cleveland, Ohio, they ought to have been aware that Lima, Ohio is pronounced LIME-A. The name derives from the limestone found in the region, not from Lima, Peru.

There is a moment in the film that indicates "U.S. Command Bunker De-Militarised Zone." In reality, there are no senior command facilities located within the DMZ as it is too near to active combat. The nearest high-level command post is situated in Seoul, with others located further to the south. Furthermore, the scene depicts footage from an Army helicopter hangar, which is not the location for high-level command posts within the U.S. military. Typically, these command posts are established underground.

The Icelandic vehicle registration plates featured in the film utilise an incorrect typeface (they employed the same font as seen on British number plates).

The number plates in the scenes set in Cuba are incorrect. This is particularly evident with the vehicle that Bond receives from Raoul, which features black plates with yellowish lettering—a combination that did not exist during the time period in which the film is situated. Black plates were reserved for foreign diplomats and displayed white lettering. The car ought to have had a yellow plate with black letters, signifying a privately owned car.

The Bridge of No Return is situated 2 kilometres within the DMZ, spanning the Military Demarcation Line. The boundary fence in that vicinity is located over 2 kilometres away. There are no "Do Not Enter DMZ" signs in that zone, as civilians would be kept from accessing it by the civilian control line.

The camouflage outfits worn by North Korean troops are, in fact, the uniform from the Republic of Korea Reserve Forces division based in Changcheon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

Since an individual's DNA is present in every cell, whether alive or deceased, damaging the bone marrow would not alter it. Altering DNA would necessitate the replacement of all cells, essentially resulting in complete brain death.

The quantity of C-4 that Bond places in the case at the start of the film would be sufficient to level an extensive area of land, comparable to the footprint of a large building. In the movie, though, the explosion is remarkably minor, and onlookers situated near the blast exhibit only slight injuries.

In the sequence where medical technicians rush in to revive Bond, he places one defibrillator paddle against each of the two male paramedics and administers a shock. In actuality, this procedure would be ineffective, as the electric current passes from one paddle to the other through a person’s body, and the paddles necessitate a minimum of 25 lbs of pressure to create a proper circuit. Since the technicians are not in contact, there is no complete circuit between paddle A and paddle B, and consequently, no current would flow.

During Bond's confrontation with Zao in the Cuban clinic, he manages to disarm Zao by activating an MRI machine, causing the weapon to be propelled from Zao’s grip, and then deactivating it to seize the gun. However, MRI magnets require considerable time to both charge and deactivate. Moreover, everything else present in the room—the bed Zao was lying on, the IV stand, and a steel tray that gets toppled during their scuffle—would have also been drawn into the MRI along with the gun. In reality, having any other equipment in an MRI suite besides the MRI itself is unfeasible; notably, a patient's bed would certainly not be positioned immediately adjacent to the MRI.

Although there is a slight possibility of it avoiding one, a hovercraft is capable of activating any kind of land mine, either by the skirt touching the trigger or through the metal in the chassis interacting with the magnets. If it traverses multiple mines, at least one would likely obliterate it.

The cruising velocity of the Antonov 124 is roughly 500mph, which translates to nearly 1 mile every 6 seconds. It is highly improbable for vehicles discarded several seconds apart to land within a couple of hundred yards of one another.

In the scene featuring hovercrafts in North Korea, Bond fires at the land-mines, causing them to be propelled into the air before detonating. While this depiction is accurate, the mines are portrayed as detonating at head height, whereas in reality, they would typically explode at waist level or lower, aiming to inflict the most devastating injuries on soldiers.

Gustav Graves' parachute descent over Buckingham Palace is something that could never occur in reality. Any aircraft operating within a kilometre of the palace triggers an immediate response from Britain’s anti-terrorism teams and the Civil Aviation Authority. Location manager Simon Marsden had to engage in extensive negotiations with the relevant authorities to obtain permission to film in this highly sensitive area. His discussions were made even more complicated by the passing of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

At a certain moment in the film, an on-screen graphic mistakenly spells Pyongyang as Pyongang.

Near the conclusion, automobiles are launched from the aircraft and descend into rice paddies in a vertical position, remaining undamaged. Any automobile that drops from a height of even 10 inches straight down will not remain unscathed; the doors and boot will likely burst open, and the chassis would warp under the weight of the engine being situated at the rear. The vehicles appear to have plummeted from an altitude exceeding 1000 feet.

All personnel within the North Korean People's Army are required to display a Il-Sung Kim badge over the left breast pocket; however, the more junior ranks appear without these badges throughout the film. A genuine North Korean soldier would face severe repercussions for not wearing this badge.

The diamonds embedded in Zao's skin would have certainly dislodged ages ago.

Whilst Bond and Jinx are rushing to board the Antonov, the sound of the engines revving up for take-off can be heard. However, as the front of one of the engines comes into view, it becomes apparent that the turbine blades are rotating at a very sluggish pace, suggesting that the engine is not operational. (It is worth noting that an average human cannot sprint faster than 15-20 mph, which is significantly slower than the speed at which a plane takes off. If the Antonov's engines were indeed functioning, Bond and Jinx would stand no chance of reaching it in time to board.)

When Gustav Graves mentions that he is to be honoured with a knighthood at Buckingham Palace, a prior shot reveals that the Queen's personal standard is not hoisted. If Queen Elizabeth II were indeed at the Palace, her standard would unmistakably be on display.

The National Security Agency/Central Security Services, often referred to as the NSA, is yet another Department of Defence agency focused on the collection of foreign intelligence. The NSA has two main roles: translating obscure foreign intelligence communications into readable text (codebreaking) and safeguarding U.S. government information systems through the use of cryptography (codemaking). Unlike Jinx here, the NSA does not employ field agents who conduct on-the-ground intelligence gathering around the world.

After Bond crashes the car through the ice door to save Jinx, he employs his glass-breaking ring to smash the windscreen. Contemporary vehicles feature laminated windscreens that would not break in this manner, as they consist of a glass/plastic sandwich. Only a toughened glass windscreen would shatter as depicted in the film.

The NOTAR helicopter features a rotor diameter of 8.23 metres, making it too large to fit inside the Antonov An-124, which has a width of 7.32 metres.

When Bond and Jinx encounter each other in Iceland, Jinx inquires if Bond is searching for penguins (referring to the covert tale Bond recounted to her in Cuba). Penguins are not found in the Northern Hemisphere, apart from the Galapagos Islands.

Laser light isn't visible in clear air.

There is no justification for an aircraft manufactured in Russia and operated by North Korea to be issuing verbal alerts in English.

When Bond traverses the DMZ into South Korea, numerous U.S. Marines are visible. However, U.S. Marines are quite uncommon in South Korea, with merely a small number stationed there. It would have been more precise to depict U.S. Army soldiers instead.

The North Korean helicopter features Russian labels in the cockpit, the GPS is configured in English, and the German registration D-HOXQ is visible inside, suggesting that the helicopter was likely hired from a company based in Berlin for the purpose of filming.

Neither Bond nor Jinx exhibit any indications of hypothermia after spending time beneath the frozen lake and being immersed in what is presumably very cold water when the ice palace eventually melted.

South Korean forces, who are defeated by Ikarus, seem to utilise Soviet-manufactured Ural lorries alongside Land Rovers. Neither vehicle is actually employed by South Korean troops.

In the scene set within the command post at the film's conclusion, there is a two-star general adorned with a 2nd Infantry Division insignia, dressed in formal attire. The commander of the 2nd Infantry Division (the two-star general) would not actually be present in this command post, which is designated for the four-star commander of the United Nations Command/Combined Forces Command. Instead, he would be located at his own command post elsewhere. Furthermore, all personnel within the command post would typically be outfitted in the camouflage "Battle Dress Uniform" (BDU), rather than the formal uniforms worn by most of the cast members. Additionally, there would likely be senior South Korean officers in attendance alongside their American counterparts, given that this is a joint command post.

Bond reduces his heart rate to zero, attracting the attention of the doctors. Although it's possible to decrease your heartbeat, achieving a rate of zero is virtually impossible unless one is gravely unwell.

The missile that was launched to target satellites is, in fact, a Harpoon missile intended for use against naval vessels.

One of the North Korean troops aboard the hovercraft that collides with a tree is armed with a South Korean Daewoo firearm.

When Miranda presses a sword against Jinx's throat, instructing her to take off her firearm, Jinx begins with her right hand. However, Miranda insists she use her other hand. Consequently, Jinx uses her left hand to discard the gun, indicating she is not grasping the aircraft's joystick. Subsequently, Miranda commands Jinx to activate the autopilot, suggesting it was off while Jinx was not in control of the joystick, which should have caused the plane to nosedive immediately, yet it does not.

Moon mentions that he attended Oxford and Harvard, and claims to have "majored in western hypocrisy." This is meant as a humorous remark. However, in the UK, one does not 'major' at Oxford or any other university; instead, students pursue a degree. The term 'major' is specific to American colleges. Furthermore, if one is engaged in postgraduate studies at either institution, the term 'major' is not applicable.

The anti-satellite missile is fired from an F-15 aircraft, rather than being launched from a surface vessel.

When Bond misleads Van Bierk's helicopter navigation beacon at the film's outset, the updated heading of 75 is displayed to the right of the existing course of 94, prompting the pilot to adjust his direction accordingly. In actuality, 75 degrees (east-northeast) lies to the left of 94 degrees (east-southeast).

Most modern vehicles are equipped with electric windows. However, certain sports cars lack a frame that encircles the door windows. To shield the occupants of these vehicles from the surrounding wind noise, the windows lower slightly to allow the door to be opened, and after the door is closed, the window automatically rises back up. This indicates that the window of Bond's vehicle wasn't left open throughout the night, but merely lowered a bit for him to enter.

Upon exiting the clinic, Bond possesses four diamonds. He subsequently presents five to M. This is due to the fact that he staked one of his four on a bet with Graves and acquired an extra diamond upon his victory.

In certain scenes, Bond's invisible vehicle is entirely 100% undetectable. In other moments, the car is shown with a hazy outline whilst in "invisible" mode. As this is all fictional technology, it operates in whatever manner the filmmakers choose.

Bond puts the ticket for the Alvarez Clinic in his inner right pocket, only to later retrieve it from his inner left pocket. This is an intentional nod to a similar mistake in an earlier Bond film, Licence to Kill (1989).

Certain vehicles within Colonel Moon's base are American Humvees, and the firearm Bond retrieves is a MAC-10. In reality, North Korean forces would never utilise American technology. Colonel Moon was concealing weapons that had been obtained illegally, hence there was no requirement for them to adhere to North Korean military regulations.

Within the simulation of the virtual reality headset, the action sequence is intended to be viewed from a first-person point of view. However, the scene is actually shot from a third-person perspective, making the user visible. Considering that no other James Bond film has featured a view from his perspective, and acknowledging that we would only perceive a limited field of vision without experiencing his surroundings, it is entirely reasonable that the filmmakers opted to show Bond's actions at that moment rather than solely from his viewpoint.

Bond arrives at Vauxhall Cross Station and remarks that he has never visited it before. However, we soon discover that his former associates from Q Branch have their laboratory located there. Earlier films indicate that they frequently change locations.

The knives that Jinx employs for throwing, although not specifically designed for that purpose, are quite effective for the job. Any amateur knife thrower would find them suitable for use. Additionally, the holes in the handle will not cause them to spin uncontrollably, as many throwing knives that are designed for this use also include holes in their handles.

At the conclusion, despite being aboard a Russian aircraft, the voice instructing them to ascend is in English, as are the labels on the instrument panel.

The hostility exhibited by the NSA director towards MI6 is rather uncommon. In earlier Bond films, American agents or officers such as Felix Leiter and Chuck Lee have supported Bond. Despite being a distinct intelligence agency, the US enjoys a close alliance with the UK and is a member of the Five Eyes.

When Zao is in the laser chamber tormenting Jinx with the electric hand, he shifts it away from her chest, yet the "electricity" remains visible on her.

Colonel Moon vanishes on the day Bond is apprehended and is thought to be dead. Bond endures fourteen months in captivity, spending around a month in the medical facility at M’s secluded headquarters. During this period, Moon has undergone gene therapy to become Gustav Graves, positioning himself as a billionaire philanthropist, and has been awarded a knighthood for his contributions. Typically, civilians are honoured with the Order of the British Empire, which comprises various tiers, and a knighthood is seldom conferred until after many years of service. For instance, Roger Moore was awarded a Commander of the British Empire in 1999 following a decade of significant involvement with UNICEF; he received his knighthood four years later.

There is entirely no justification for any establishment to possess lasers that thrash about unpredictably.

Bond appears surprisingly well-nourished and in good health for an individual who has endured imprisonment in North Korea for more than a year. Under such conditions, he would undoubtedly be grappling with nutritional deficiencies and dental issues.

It is reasonable to assume that Graves aimed to eliminate Jinx in a manner that appeared to be accidental, yet there must have been a more straightforward approach than partially melting his own palace. Moreover, employing his own satellite for this purpose could have attracted a considerable amount of unwelcome scrutiny.

On the aircraft, Graves reprimands the engineer, pointing out that the Icarus controller resembles the dimensions of a suitcase and demands that it be "repaired". Just moments later, he is handed a controller resembling body armour that fits perfectly and operates flawlessly. Even if there were sufficient space on the plane for a full engineering workshop, it would have been impossible for him to produce it in such a brief time frame.

MI-6 has certainly encountered some significant self-imposed security lapses.

M rebukes Falco, asserting that they would never have had a mole within MI-6 if Falco "had not kept back the information that Miranda Frost and Colonel Moon were members of the Harvard Fencing Team together." Really? The background investigators at MI-6 would have missed something as straightforward as looking through a Harvard yearbook? Furthermore, the dubious circumstances surrounding Frost 'winning' her gold medal at the Sydney Olympics just a few years earlier appear to have gone unnoticed as well.

Some of the individuals claiming to be native North Koreans speak Korean with either South Korean accents or poor Korean-American inflections. North Koreans possess distinct accents and utilise certain different terms compared to those used in South Korea.

Colonel Moon is pummelling the punch bag. Once he is done, it is unzipped and a man tumbles out. However, during his assault on the punch bag, it appeared to be a standard one rather than one containing a person. Had there been a man inside, the bag would have been considerably more inflated.

At 10:10, amidst the hovercraft gunfight, the unconscious passenger is depicted covering his ears due to the noise and debris from the explosive squibs 'bouncing' around his head. When the commotion ceases, he lowers his hands back down to continue feigning unconsciousness.

After displaying the mechanical "second sun", the men remove the control unit from the auditorium and carry it to a different location where there is a door that operates with a "card-key". However, the door begins to open just moments before the card-key is inserted into the slot.

In the course of the sword-fighting scene featuring Bond and Gustav Graves, a painting affixed to the wall of the club is cut, yet it is evidently created from paper rather than canvas.

When M visits Bond after he has been exchanged for Zao, she opens the door to access his secured room, then departs, 'locking' the door behind her. However, the lights on the door locks stay green (unlocked) after she relocks them, despite initially being red when locked, only turning green once they are unlocked.

When Bond makes his escape and leaps off the boat, his hands are distinctly visible at the lower part of the screen following his bounce off the trampoline.

Wheel marks from previous takes can be seen early in the car chase across the ice lake.

When Jinx stabilises the descending aircraft, the pressure balances out, meaning there shouldn't be any further instances of 'sucking' or turbulence. However, in the following scene, as Bond and Graves are engaged in combat, objects continue to be tossed about as a result of the turbulence.

When Bond makes his escape from Graves' hideout by sprinting down the exterior of the dome, the stunt performer is seen utilising a rope secured to his harness, whereas Bond attaches a metal cable to his.

When Jinx is pushing buttons in the aircraft's cockpit, the lights adjacent to the buttons are dimming before she actually presses them.

When Q fires at the bulletproof glass to showcase the high-frequency ring gadget, the bullet strikes are seen in locations different from his intended aim.

When Bond escapes across the lake in the jet-propelled ice vehicle, the cable that is towing it is distinctly visible in the aerial shot.

When Bond makes his getaway from Graves' hideout by sprinting down the exterior of the dome, the stunt performer seems to be donning sunglasses, whilst Pierce Brosnan, in the scenes just prior to and following the stunt, is not.
