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 the edit icon under an entry, then choose "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.
When the plane at the end is first seen, the helicopter is at the back. The same is true when James is seen climbing into the hold of the plane. But when it comes to the end the cars have suddenly jumped to the back. [Purely a trick of the angle. Look behind the chopper and you can see stuff towards the front of the plane. The order is chopper, yellow car, red car, which is then (of course) reversed when we see a clearer shot out the back of the plane].
I find it odd that jeeps and virtually every structure that is hit by Icarus instantaneously explode, yet when the plane passes completely through the beam in the end, it only peels some of the body off. [The Icarus device reflects and focuses the radiation from the sun. The plane is not at the focus of the beam, which is on the ground below.]
Just before Jinx jumps off the top of the cliff and dives into the water, she removes her dress. In the next shot after removing the dress, the dress itself is nowhere to be seen, either on the ground or fluttering into the sea as she dives off. [In the "Making of" on the DVD, you can see it was so windy that the dress blew a long way away].
Bond goes to Iceland for the little demonstration. In reality Iceland is not very icy at all. Greenland is the frozen tundra. Iceland is actually quite lush and green. [The scenes on the frozen lake were filmed in Iceland, so it can't be that green].
At the end of the car-vs.-car deathmatch on the ice, why does the villian in the green Jaguar follow Bond into a melting Ice Palace? If the Ice Palace completely melts and Bond or his car doesn't come out, problem solved, if Bond/his car do come out, continue the chase then. [The ice palace is a big building and if Zao had waited outside for Bond to drive out again Bond obviously would have chosen to exit the building somewhere where Zao's view would have been obstructed by the ice palace. Considering that Bond doesn't even use an exit (he eventually drives his car out of the ice palace by breaking through a wall) he conceivably could have hundreds of places to escape where Zao couldn't have seen him had he waited outside the palace.]
In the car chase scene across the ice plains in Iceland, Bond's car is flipped onto its roof by an exploding rocket. He flips the car upright again by ejecting the passenger seat, yet when he rescues Jinx from the melting room, the seat has magically reappeared for her to rest on. How can this be? [It could be on hydraulics, so the seat would be retracted afterwards].
Gustav Graves is really the North Korean General's son, but Miranda Frost has been assigned to Graves for 3 years, M tells us in her briefing with Frost, only 14 months or so later. [Actually, M says that Frost has worked in Crypotology at MI6 for 3 years - she's only been on this case for 3 months.]
The ice palace appears to be on a sheet of ice about 8-12 inches thick above the water. After Bond steals the ice racer he seems to go on level ground until he gets to a cliff with the sea hundreds of feet below - did the tide go out? [The palace is built on a lake.]
If James Bond is supposed to be in Iceland, why is it whenever you see him breathing in an exterior shot, you don't see any steam coming from his mouth, as would happen in a cold environment? [Debatable point, as a lot of the scenes were actually filmed...er...somewhere cold, can't remember where, so if there's no visible vapour, that's just how it was.]
When Gustav Graves parachutes in over Buckingham Palace, that's restricted air space, he would not be allowed to do that, no matter how rich he is. [They actually did this stunt - click here for more info. Of course, a Bond film and a millionaire's publicity stunt are two very different things.]
