Continuity mistake: After Madeleine tells Bond, "I love you," her right hand slides off his face. Cut away and back, and her hand is back on his jaw in a shot of her. We then cut to a shot of Bond, and her hand isn't on his face at all. It goes back and forth like that between shots.

Other mistake: When Bond enters the ruins of the old MI6 building, he encounters the plaque that lists all of those that gave their lives in service of MI6. In Skyfall, M mentioned this plaque, and mentioned that Silva's (the antagonist of Skyfall) name was Tiago Rodriguez, and that his name is on that plaque, and that she'd have it struck from the plaque. However, she never had the chance to do so within the timeline of the film (almost immediately after she said this, Silva escaped and tried to kill her at the government hearing, after which she escaped with Bond to Scotland, and died there). His name, however, is absent from the plaque, and there isn't even a gap for where his name might have been even if she *had* had the chance to have it removed. (02:03:55)

Continuity mistake: In the tunnel where Bond's Jaguar is wrecked by a truck it shows Moneypenny, Q and Tanner getting shot at, which shatters the right rear window where Q is sitting. Shortly after, they meet up with M to race away, and only a bullet hole is seen in the same right rear window of the vehicle. (02:02:20 - 02:02:50)

Other mistake: During the plane chase near the end the cars go off to Bond's left, then he has to avoid the trees and turns left himself, then we see the cars are way over to his right and the trees have disappeared. The cars have no time to get that far over to the right - Bond should have seen them when he turned left himself.

Factual error: The Number 15 London bus seen on Westminster Bridge at the end of the movie could not be there. The 15 runs from Trafalgar Square to Tower Hill.

Continuity mistake: When Hinx smashes Sr. Guerra's head against the table, it falls on some papers. When the angle changes they're gone.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Bond leaves M's offices, walks through the patio, and crosses a rounded pattern on the center. In the close-up, he's several meters behind, walking by the pattern again.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When M scolds Bond about the Mexico incident, the position of the newspapers on the table changes between shots.

Sacha

Character mistake: Sciarra's (pronounced Shara) name is constantly mispronounced Skeeara, even by Italians like the priest at the funeral.

Factual error: When Q tells M that Bond is in Chelsea the screen shows "Austria." The names of the roads are stupid. One name is SEEKLAUSSTRßAE. If a road like this exists it should read SEEKLAUSSTRAßE or SEEKLAUSSTRASSE as the "ß" in capital letters is written as "SS" (at least in 2015). An other one is MÖSERNßTRASE instead of MÖSERNSTRAßE. Fun fact: Möse is a vulgar German word for a specific opening of the female body. (00:49:46)

Question: Bond was 12 when his parents were killed, and spent the next 2 years with his guardian, who taught him to ski, climb and hunt before his death. It is mentioned a few times that it happened 20 years ago, making Bond 34, but he's clearly much older - just wondered if I was missing something here.

Answer: It is mentioned that Oberhauser died 20 years ago. This could have been many years after James stopped living with him.
