Miranda Frost confiscates Bond's watch and other gadgets when it is revealed that she is actually working for Gustav Graves. Correctly, he does not have a watch on in the following scenes. However, after the rescue of Jinx from the destroyed ice palace, Bond is shown making his first 'update' briefing with Charles (M's assistant) as the story continues. He is now wearing an Omega Seamaster again. He could not have retrieved his original watch from Miranda, and he has not yet at this point in the story had any opportunity before this point to have any contact with Q or any other MI6 operative, so where did he get his replacement watch? It doesn't make sense that Bond would go to the trouble of going out and finding a retail dealer to buy a new production-model $4,000 Omega Seamaster in the midst of this world emergency just because he wants to wear a watch for the short time until he gets issued his new Q-approved replacement. [The two scenes are half a globe away from one another (Iceland to South Korea). More than sufficient time to have gotten a replacement. In fact, Bond was expected in South Korea (he wouldn't have been able to get into a US military base otherwise), indicating that he *had* been in communication with MI6.] Corrected by JC Fernandez

Bond pushes a dashboard button to open the roof of his car when it is upside down sliding on the ice. Notice that the button is labled "ROOF", not "ROOF OPEN", indicating that it is not intended soley to open the roof, but to open and close the roof. After he flips it back on the wheels, he pushes a button down on the floor console somewhere to close the roof. It is not likely that there would be two seperate controls to operate the roof. [Just prior to Bond pushing the button, we see him glance upwards (which from his upside-down perspective is towards the floor of the car), then there's a close-up of his finger activating the ROOF button. Clearly, the button was on the console beside his seat, not on the dash.] Corrected by JC Fernandez

In Q's projects lab, he introduces to Bond his newest gadgets. When he wants to demonstrate the sonic ring, he asks for a weapon from Bond, who picks up a Walther P99 pistol from the table and hands it to Q. After Q fires the weapon at the bullet-proof glass, he hands the gun back to Bond, who then puts the weapon into his empty shoulder holster. Why is Bond taking this gun with him? Where is his own gun? It can't be this one, for Bond has never been in this lab, nor even this entire complex yet. There was no opportunity for him to have relinquished his gun to Q or any other MI6 operative before this point in the story. [Just prior to this, Bond was using the virtual simulator glasses. He had been in Q's lab long enough for Q to give him the glasses, explain its use and arm him with an unloaded weapon for the simulation. Plenty of time for Bond to have set his weapon down or otherwise relinquished it.] Corrected by JC Fernandez

At the beginning of the scene where Moneypenny is using the virtual reality suite to simulate her seduction by Bond, her nose is quite distinctive - narrow and upturned at the end. When she kisses Bond, the tip of her nose is smaller and rounded. [The two shots are at different angles and in two different locations in the room. Her nose simply looks different depending on the angle and lighting conditions. The actress did not get rhinoplasty between shots.] Corrected by JC Fernandez

When Miranda turns against Bond he fires his gun twice - but it clicks. An automatic wouldn't click twice since the hammer is only jacked back by the recoil from the previous shot. [The Walther P99 that Bond uses is both a single action and a double action pistol. This means that the hammer does not have to be cocked before every trigger pull. In double action mode, each time the trigger is pulled the hammer is cocked and then fired. This is exactly what happens with Bond. He pulled the trigger and nothing happened. He then pulled the trigger again to confirm. I used to have a P99 and if there is no bullet chambered then it works exactly the way Bond used it.] Corrected by Guy Brigman

During the scene where Icarus is first set off, illuminating the palace enough that sunglasses are handy to use, notice that even though the light is very intense, neither Bond's nor Jinx's pupils shrink. [If the cameraman had zoomed in a significant distance to show irrelevant pupil movement, you would've seen them shrinking, but i guess the director didn't want to show eye and eye movements during this scene.] Corrected by The-Immortal

Surely Zao would have the diamonds (his strongest identifying mark) removed from his face before changing his DNA/external appearance (as Moon did). Otherwise he'd have a new face scarred by the same old diamonds, somewhat defeating the purpose of the procedure. [The alteration procedure was not finished. Without specific knowledge that they did not intend to remove the diamonds at some point, this cannot be considered an error.] Corrected by Tailkinker

In the scene where James Bond and Gustav Graves go outside during their sword fight, Gustav pushes James over a garden table but when he does this you can see that it's not Pierce Brosnan that he pushes over but Pierce's stunt double. [I've looked time and time again and it isn't his stunt double.]

In the scene where we see that Jinx has fainted inside the water cell, there is a tiny little red spot on her nose. [Where is the mistake? There could be many reasons she had a red spot on her nose. It doesn't necessarily make it a mistake.]

The North Korean air crew flying Moon's command post aircraft are wearing Soviet Air Force arm badges. [Russia supplied arms to North Korea for years, and aided in training the military. It is possible that either the air crew was Russian (some people living in Eastern Russia look Asian, as Russia does extend into Asia) or that they were wearing surplus Russian uniforms.]

The movie shows an Antonov 124, a Russian plane, so why, in the scene when Halle Berry is trying to regain altitude from the sudden decompression, does the altimeter says "feet" instead of "meters"? [How many times does this same mistake have to be corrected? ALL AIRCRAFT ALTIMETERS ARE CALIBRATED IN FEET. All of them, every single last one. Russian, French, Outer Mongolian, doesn't matter. Antonov 124, Boeing 747, Harrier Jump Jet, Rutan microlights. Feet, feet, feet. All aircraft measure their altitudes in FEET. None, anywhere, any time, use meters. NOT ONE.]

Near the beginning of Die Another Day when James Bond enters the North Korean complex, Zao is sent information to his mobile phone about James Bond being from the "MI6 Security Service". This is inaccurate information because MI6 is the Secret Intelligence Service and not the Security Service. It is MI5 which is the Security Service. [Although incorrect, the main purpose is to alert Zao to the fact that Bond is a spy. The person sending the warning may not know and certainly does not care about the exact naming of Bonds department.] Corrected by tw_stuart

The downward air pressure from a hovercraft is strong enough to set off a land mine. [Landmines can be triggered by a variety of things including pressure, movement, sound, magnetism and vibration. The ones in the movie are obviously not pressure activated.] Corrected by tw_stuart

The name 'Zao' is Chinese, and since many Koreans have Chinese names, there are definitely some Koreans named Zao. But there is no 'Z' sound in Korean. Therefore 'Zao' should be pronounced 'jo', 'cho', or 'sho' (depending on who's doing the pronouncing). [Unless the submitter is suggesting that all Koreans have a speech defect, they would be capable of pronouncing Zao in the way it was intended.] Corrected by tw_stuart

In the car chase, you can see when Bond's car flips that there is a large metal plate underneath it, presumably to mount explosives and effects paraphernalia on. A real Vanquish would have an assortment of metal tubes and engine parts. [It's highly unlikely that Bond would have a standard production model. It's completely in line with the story that it would have been heavily modified.] Corrected by tw_stuart

In the last scene at the Isla Los Organos, Jinx jumps into the water from a considerable height. She bothers removing her dress, but she leaves her big earrings on. Hitting the water should at least tear them off in a quite painful way, yet we see her just a moment later in the water, the earrings are still there, and she seems rather happy. [Nicky Berwick, the stuntwoman who doubled for Halle Berry, did the high dive (from the wall of a castle in Cadiz, Spain) while wearing the earrings in question. Since she was uninjured we can assume Jinx could have got away with it, too.]

When Bond is first speaking to Jinx in the bar by the beach he is smoking a cigar. Various shots of him then Jinx show him sometimes raising his cigar to his mouth, then it not there in the next shot. [He takes a puff while the camera is on Jinx. ]

In the fight scene at the end, Jinx and Miranda are fighting. Jinx gets the upper hand on Miranda and stabs her. Miranda soon afterwards falls backwards and lands with her arms pointing downwards. When Bond comes into the room after he's killed Graves, Miranda is lying down with her arms pointing upwards. [We don't know that she died instantly. She could have moved her arms while writhing in pain or in an effort to get up.]

Outside the ice palace when Bond opens the steam valve, he turns the valve clockwise, which would have only tightened it rather than released it. In any event, what on earth was such a dangerous steam valve doing there in the first place? [Actually, valves on propane tanks are tightened by turning them counter-clockwise for some reason. Maybe the valve in the Ice Palace works the same way.]

When Bond escapes from the British ship after shocking the doctors, a second or two after he jumps over the side you can see his hands fly up, presumably because he landed on a mat not that far down. In reality, the deck would be quite far from the surface and you wouldn't see anything when he hit the water. [He could have just thrown his hands up reflexively as he was falling, enabling us to see them no matter when he hit something (or what he hit, for that matter).]
