Deliberate mistake: In the scene inside the belly dancer's dressing room, during the brawl Bond has with the KGB agents, he shoves the bald headed guy into the mirror along the bottom 1/3rd of the glass, yet the middle along the left hand side of the mirror makes it look as if that was the initial point of impact before it shatters.
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Guy Hamilton
Starring: Christopher Lee, Desmond Llewelyn, Roger Moore, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, Britt Ekland, Maud Adams
Revealing mistake: During the fight scene in the belly dancer's room, Bond spins the bald guy around to avoid being hit by a chair. When the bald guy gets hit in the back with the chair, you can see a large rectangle of padding under his jacket.
James Bond: Good evening. My name is Bond, James Bond. Your dancing is superb - and so are you.
Saida: Merci. And you are very handsome.
Trivia: Although not well-known at the time, the film would be the last Bond movie that Harry Salzman would produce.
Question: When Bond goes to the fighting ring and discovers that Maud Adams is dead, was that really a dummy of her? It sure looked like one to me.
