Apparently there was a line at the end of the intro sequence which was cut from the final release - among the people turning up to rescue Bond is M, who takes one look at him and says "Well, at least the Millennium Dome has some use".

In the nuclear decommissioning facility, when the Colonel, the soldier and Dr. Jones come down, the soldier hands the Colonel an AKS-74. However, when Renard shoves the picture of Dr. Arkov in the Colonel's chest, he doesn't have the AKS anymore, we can see he's not holding it because the Colonel holds the picture with two hands. After Renard grasps Bond's shoulder and walks back, he says "Without further interruptions" you can see another soldier holding the AKS-74. The Colonel is holding a Makarov when he orders the terrorists back to the surface. See more...

There's been a heated debate on whether not Sophie Marceau's nipple is visible on camera. As Brosnan turns her over after he says, "Enough ice for one night," You can clearly see her...nipular area, as Chandler (from Friends) once said. [And a little footnote to that one, probably only for DVD owners - if you watch the theatrical trailer and that scene both in slow-mo, you'll see that the nipple's been airbrushed out of the trailer, but not the film. Obviously to avoid offending trailer audiences].
In the opening sequence with the speed boat jetting through the boat house and over the road was filmed in Wapping, East London. It took a week to film that one sequence as I saw them doing it. Also, for the matter of continuity, when the boat goes across the road, it goes into some sort of alley with an arch above it; in reality it's actually a Group 4 building on the other side of that road.
The BMW Z8 seen in the film isn't actually a Z8. BMW did every thing they could to produce it in time for the film but they couldn't. The car in the film is a cobra with parts of the Z8 stuck on to it.
There is a painting of Bernard Lee ("M") in the back of the Scottish MI6 Headquarters.
The Traffic Warden who looks at Bond's speedboat in a somewhat confused manner during the speedboat chase sequence is 'famous' for his stint on BBC's short-lived 'Traffic Wardens' series. I believe his name is Jeremy.
As the traffic wardens get splashed, the "What was that?" remark was the actor's real reaction. He wasn't told the spray would be that big.
This is Desmond Llewelyn's final appearance as Q. He was killed in a road accident shortly after the film's premiere.
The Castle that was used in the film as the location for MI6's headquarters in Scotland, was also used extensively in the film "Highlander" starring Sean Connery (the first Bond).
Look at the registration number plate of the BMW. It is the same as the Aston Martin in one of the earlier films
Not a mistake, just an interesting tidbit...in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", Bond (played by George Lazenby) is given his family's coat of arms. He is told it translates into, "The World Is Not Enough".
