Continuity mistake: During the dirt road chase, Bond's car is pale blue in color in the wide shots but dark blue in the close-ups, where a rear projection is used. Also, the wipers swap between being fully lowered and slightly covering the windshield. A different car was obviously used.
Continuity mistake: Bond grabs the golf club that Trench is holding and retrieves it towards him. A split second later, from the opposite angle, his hand is away and she's still holding the club firmly.
Revealing mistake: When Bond is driving down the dirt road, it's very obvious that the driver is Sean Connery's stuntman.
Revealing mistake: When Honey wakes up and walks to grab a dress in the closet, she's supposed to be naked, but one can see a strapless bra covering her right breast.
Continuity mistake: After Bond guns the professor, he puts the light switch on the table above some cards. The amount of cards and their position to the edge of the table changes between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Trench exits the shower and opens the door to Bond, her towel is covering her cleavage - or not, depending on the shot.
Audio problem: When Bond is involved in a high-speed chase on the way to Miss Taro's house, his wheels are squealing like crazy, but he's on a dirt road. (00:48:10)
Continuity mistake: After Bond gets picked up from the airport, evades a car, then fights with the driver, at one point, he pulls back his right arm, but then the angle changes and he hits him with his left one. (00:20:20)
Revealing mistake: When James Bond has a spider on his arm, one can see he's under a glass plate, and the spider on top of the plate. (00:41:55)
Audio problem: When Bond and Honey are on the beach, the hoods of Dr No come by boat. On the boat, there is a guy shouting through a megaphone. As they sail away again, the man waves the megaphone to his comrades and says, "Full speed ahead." Yet his voice sounds identical to when he was speaking through the megaphone, though he isn't holding it to his mouth anymore. (01:04:00)
Continuity mistake: When Bond kills a patrolman on the island, his shirt is dry around his shoulders right after rising out of the water. (01:08:40)
Continuity mistake: During the evening meeting in the bar, we can see the band and a singer, but the movement of his lips (despite the fact that they were trying to hide them behind a big microphone) doesn't match what is sung. (00:30:15)
Continuity mistake: The hearse that was involved in Strangways' death and later chases Bond is a 1937 or 1938 LaSalle, with the pod-style headlights mounted on stalks on either side of the radiator. The car that drives off the cliff and explodes is a later model car, with the headlights mounted flush into the fenders. It is very easy to spot while the burning car is rolling down the side of the cliff. (00:48:50)
Continuity mistake: When Bond gets directions to Miss Taro's house, her instructions to Bond conclude with "Follow the road up the hill, down the other side, and two miles further on, on the left Magenta Drive, 2391," but when Bond is in her house later on, while calling for a taxi, the house number changes and he gives it as "2171 Magenta Drive". Miss Taro even nods to confirm it. (00:47:30 - 00:51:20)
Continuity mistake: Bond sits down by a table, puts some cards down and pulls his gun out. He's wearing a tie, but when we see a close-up of him screwing on the silencer, his tie disappears. (00:54:40)
Continuity mistake: During the car chase, on the way to Miss Taro's house, we can see the same shot of the cars at the turn three times. (00:48:15)
Continuity mistake: A car chase early on has a cutaway to the speedometer of the villain pursuing Bond, of a dashboard totally and obviously different to the actual one on the car. The director apparently knew it, but they were low budget and had no choice. (00:18:25)
Continuity mistake: When Quarrel gets cut by the broken flash bulb, he has a lot of blood on his face and the rag. The next scene he's fine with no blood. (00:32:45)
Revealing mistake: When Dr. No crushes the Buddha in his powerful deformed hand, watch when he first touches it. It is made out of rubber. (01:29:00)
Audio problem: When the powerboat shoots at the island, afterward, when the guy with the speakerphone tells them that he would be back later on, he then turns to the driver and tells him to move on, but when he says that, it sounds as though he's still talking in the microphone even thought the microphone is at his side. (01:04:20)
Answer: Actually, yes, he would. The key to a vodka martini, Bond's preferred tipple, is that it should be served ice-cold. By shaking the drink, the ice cubes have a better chance to swish around the whole drink than they would if it was only stirred. It apparently also has the effect of dispersing the ingredients better, giving a different taste to the drink. In the spirit of scientific experimentation, some friends and I tried the drink both ways in a blind taste test a while back - it makes a surprising difference.

If you shake it, it turns cloudy.
