Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Bond escapes from the bad guys - of course - by climbing into the village well and swimming to the undersea cavern, emerging in the surf on a nearby beach. All well and good, but I wouldn't want to live in that village - their water supply comes from the sea. They're drinking salt water. [Unless the cavern is an underground river, leading to the sea. In which case it would be fresh water.]

When Bond and Largo are playing Domination - in the round about the US - Bond is in pain even before he has lost. But the shock only came when a player lost. [No, the pain comes gradually as the game goes on. The reason Bond lost the first game was because he wasn't expecting the shock and instinctively let go when he felt it (which cost him the game); the second time he loses, it was because he got nuked, and Largo clearly explained that's an automatic loss for the player. If you recall in the fourth and final game, Largo is also in pain before he loses, so it's obvious that the player doesn't feel pain only when they lose.]

In the scene where Bond fights Lippe in the health clinic you see the time is midday on a big clock but in a shot of a different clock in a different room the time has elapsed by hours. [It is entirely possible that the smaller clock either stopped, if it was on battery power, or was not set correctly.] Corrected by wizard_of_gore

How does Rowan Atkinson's character know to call Bond at the fishing lady's room when they're making love? If he knows that Bond is in that woman's room, he seems awfully shocked when Bond's room blows up. [He might just have called the lobby, where Bond and "Fishing Lady" arrived together and collected their keys. It is very possible that he was told where to call Bond.]

Towards the end of the movie, James Bond (Sean Connery), has been chained to the wall of a castle by the evil villain and left to die, eventually to be eaten by the lurking vultures. As he is escaping, a guard comes to check on him while carrying a AK-47 rifle. Fortunately for Bond, the rifle is empty as there is no ammunition magazine inserted into the gun. [The gun seems to be not an AK-47, but a SKS semi-auto carbine. While it uses also the same ammo, and has a similar-looking frontal barrel-and-stock arrangement, it has an integral 10-shot magazine which hardly protrudes from the weapon, and no pistol grip - and the way the guard holds it, the SKS is more likely to be it, even though the integral foldover bayonet is missing.]

When some bloke is falling from a tower towards the sea, you can hear a splash but he is still falling, you can see his shadow. [Actually the shadow that follows the man is of his AK-47 gun, Bond lets the man drop and then drops his gun afterwards.]
