details

• Crew or equipment visible: Camera crew reflected in the door of the Ford hire car and the Range Rover when Bond gets out of both at the hotel.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Towards the beginning of the film, when Bond jumps off the van into the embassy, the patch of ground he lands on is obviously a landing mat with leaves and turf covering it.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: At the very beginning of the film, when Bond is talking to Dryden in his office, a wire can be seen leading from the Dryden's chair off-screen. You later on see that was used to flip the chair.
  
  

• Crew or equipment visible: Camera briefly reflected in a shop window when Bond leaves the bank in Venice.
  
  
• Continuity: During the chase scene at the airport, the Miami Police fire at the fueling vehicle, taking out at least three tires. During the final sequence of the scene, however, the vehicle clearly has all its tires intact.
  
  
• Factual errors: The Boeing 747 does not have afterburners, as depicted during the airport chase scene, when it used them to avoid hitting the Miami police vehicles.
  
  
• Factual errors: When an International fuel truck is being filled it releases air from air brakes. When Bond is driving this truck several minutes later the brake lines are damaged but the brakes do not engage as is normal in truck with dual pot air systems.
  
  
• Continuity: When Bond enters his personal code at the casino, the code he enters is '836847' which does not spell "Vesper" (837737). Even though some of the keys are hard to spot, the second to the last button pressed is clearly the "4" button which would map to characters GHI.
  
  
• Factual errors: All of the Miami-Dade Police vehicles are shown with all-blue overhead lights. The lights are actually blue and red.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the last scene of the movie, when Mr. White exits his car and answers his cell phone- you can notice that he is wearing knee pads under his trousers. Seconds later, while Bond phones him, he is shot in the knee and falls to the ground and the knee pads help break his fall.
  
  
• Continuity: Miami airport. The smashed police car -- when already stopped -- turns 180 degrees between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: Miami airport worker stands next to the truck when killed. Later, his body is a few meters away from the truck.
  
  
• Factual errors: At the end of the opening parkour sequence, Bond is being held at gunpoint just inside the embassy wall. He shoots a propane cylinder with his second shot causing an explosion. This was tested on the TV show "MythBusters" (2003) and found to be impossible with a 9mm round let alone the .380 (9mm Corto) round fired by Bond's weapon of choice the Walther PPK.
  
  
• Continuity: Sunlight direction -- and also the position of the sun -- frequently changes when Bond fights Mollaka on the crane. For example, when Mollaka jumps down the higher crane, the sun is behind him, and when lands is shines from front. There is also a remarkable change, when Bond jumps down.
  
  
• Factual errors: During the opening chase sequence the "bomber" attempts to shoot Bond with a semi-automatic handgun. He pulls the trigger several times only to discover that he is out of ammo. In reality, when a handgun of this type fires its last round, the slide locks back. And, in that configuration, you can't pull the trigger at all.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: When Bond is trying to save Vesper from the cage underwater, in one shot the impression of an outline of a diving mask on her "underwater makeup" is clearly visible on her forehead.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: SPOILER: When Mathis is talking with Bond before he is shocked, lighting equipment is reflected in his sunglasses
