You Only Live Twice (1967) - 11 major mistakes

Directed by Lewis Gilbert, starring Bernard Lee, Charles Gray, Desmond Llewelyn, Donald Pleasence, Lois Maxwell, Mie Hama, Sean Connery (add more)

Please note: A brief comment about the vodka martini offering: It's not a mistake that Bond's offered one "stirred, not shaken", and he says that's right - he's just too polite in the face of the guy's forced cheerfulness to complain.

Mistake Revealing: When the ninjas enter the volcano one of them slices a SPECTRE man in the back with a sword, however there is no mark.

Mistake Continuity: When Aki drives James to see Tiger and when she collects him from Osato Chemicals, her car changes from left hand to right hand drive as the camera follows them along.

Mistake Continuity: While Bond prepares "Little Nellie" for flight, a Japanese technician removes the red rotor tether from the front of the Autogyro. In the next shot, while Bond is putting his flying helmet on, the tether is still attached to the rotor.

Mistake Plot hole: At the end, we see pictures of the space shuttle several times on a TV screen. Where is the camera to film that?

Mistake Other: During the shooting scene in the false volcano: We see a man on a bridge being shot and he falls on the rail and down. About a minute later, they show the same shot.

Mistake Factual error: Two rocket lift-offs are shown. However, for the American lift-off, they show a Soyuz (Soviet) rocket booster. And for the Soviet lift-off, they show a Gemini (American) rocket booster.

Mistake Continuity: When Bond and Kissy jump into the ocean to avoid the poison gas in the cave, you can see Bond's skin through his shirt. When they come ashore on Blofeld's volcano island, Bond takes off his shirt to reveal a grey ninja outfit underneath, complete with huge rubber suction cups for his hands and knees. Where did he hide all that?

Mistake Revealing: When the submarine surfaces with the life raft on the casing at the end of the film, the water movement looks a bit odd because the scene was actually shot with the sub diving and floating the raft off, the film then being played backwards.

Mistake Continuity: When Bond first stands on top of the volcano, when it opens, it is dark outside. The camera then shows it opening from inside the volcano, outside it is daylight.

Mistake Plot hole: In the volcano base, Bond finds and frees three captured astronauts - two Russians and an American. But when they enter the SPECTRE astronauts' room, there are only two of them with Bond (and there is no indication that the third one was seriously hurt in the previous struggle with the guards); and after Bond is dressed in the spacesuit, they disappear from the story altogether.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene at the end where Bond is trying to make Blofeld's spaceship blow up, you can see the timer showing the time till interception. On the 1st shot the timer shows 25 seconds. On the second shot it says 13 seconds. Then there is another shot and the timer shows 24 seconds.
