In the poker hand between Dimitrios and Bond, the dealer announces that Bond has won with "trip aces." In fact, he has won with "a set of aces." A set means that the player has been dealt a pair, then flops a third to make three of a kind. Trips means that the player has not been dealt a pair, but the flop brings two more of the same kind to make three of a kind. It is not an uncommon error in terminology. [If it's "not an uncommon error", then this is a character mistake.]

Since the casino still had all the winnings of Bond, torturing Bond for the password would not help Le Chiffre get the money. The casino would need to have Bond enter the password and she would need to enter the bank account number. If they were both dead, the casino would not turn over the money to anyone else. Even if Le Chiffre were able to convince the casino that he was entering Bond's password, they would not want the money in the account number that Vespa was supposed to provide, they would want to use their own. [They get the password out of Bond and use it to release the money into his nominated account. Then Vesper, who you may recall turns out to be on Le Chiffre's side, goes to the bank, withdraws the money from the account in question, which she has access to in her role as a treasury agent tasked with keeping an eye on the money, and gives it to them. Which is exactly what she ultimately does towards the end of the film.]

"M" pronounces Le Chiffre's name differently throughout the movie. When she is briefing Bond on him, she pronounces it "lay-SHIF", which is exactly how other characters in the movie pronounce it from then on on. Yet, later on "M" says "lay-SHIF-ra". It is not likely that one person would have two randomly different pronunciations of the same person's name. [Hardly "randomly" different. In any case, the fact that Judi Densch pronounces it two different ways kinda throws the idea that it's "not likely" out the window, doesn't it?]

When Bond crashes the Range Rover Sport at the Ocean Club, he goes straight to the security room where surely, the guards might be looking to see just who was driving the car that did all that damage after establishing that no white men park cars there for a living. Further, on later review of the security CD, why was Bond not questioned about the incident and perhaps encouraged to find alternative accommodation? After all, he was staying there in full view of the security staff. We might at least have seen him pull the CD for the moment in question and destroy or delete it to add credibility to his prolonged stay at the club. [Plenty of possible explanations. (1) Just because we didn't specifically see him destroy the CD, it doesn't automatically follow that he didn't. (2) We don't see what he does when leaving the car; he could simply have covered his face, then moved into a camera blind spot - he's not dressed particularly notably, so it would be hard to distinguish him from the others milling around. (3) Even if they could see what he looked like, the security guards aren't going to be looking among the guests. Think about it, somebody drives into the car park of an exclusive club and damages several expensive cars. They'd be expecting the culprit to run away, not go and check into an expensive beach front villa. (4) If they did identify him, he's just checked into an expensive villa so is clearly a person of considerable means; the management might choose to overlook the incident as a tantrum by a rich person insulted at being mistaken for a servant. (5) If they did identify him and approach him quietly about the matter, he could simply have paid for the damage out of whatever government fund he has available to him. That would be enough to close the incident; the management of the club are hardly going to want to bring criminal charges against a rich guest who would then never stay there again. Any one of these works as an explanation.]

When Bond drinks the drugged Martini, he more or less bottoms-up the glass. But when he looks at the glass after feeling the drug it is at least half full. [I've re-watched that scene, and Bond only takes a small sip.]

At the end of the shootout in the embassy, Bond shoots oil barrels which cause a large explosion. This explosion has enough force to blow open the gate behind 007, but doesn't harm him at all. He didn't even have to get out of the way. [Maybe HE was the one who opened the gate, not the explosion. When he shot the oil barrels, all the confusion present would make it possible for him to open the gates and get out.]

When Vesper lowers herself into the water while inside the elevator, the elevator car's "roof" is shown. As the car falls, the roof lifts completely away from the rest of the car, which would allow Bond quick and easy access. There are also many gaps in the bars and wire mesh that make up the elevator shaft that are large enough to easily allow both Bond and Vesper to pass through simultaneously. There's no reason Bond should have followed Vesper down from outside the shaft and attempted to break the elevator door open - he could have got to her from above, quickly and easily, whether she wanted him to or not. [The roof does not lift completely off - the roof structure is clearly still in place after the lift goes into the water. One side can be seen to flap upwards (although not come off) as it goes down the shaft, but the image is not clear enough to show what might be underneath - given the need to stand on the roof for maintenance on occasion, there is likely to be a strong support structure underneath that could easily block access. Bond's decision to attempt to gain access through the comparatively weak door structure makes good sense.]

In the scene where Bond is chasing the bomb maker through the construction site, Bond jumps on a 'pneumatic lift' where he breaks off the gas pipe and the 'lift' falls. The 'lift' is seen to change colour from red to yellow twice as we cut between shots. [The carriage (the guardrails and bars surrounding the part where the worker stands) are always red, and the hydraulics (the part that lifts the carriage up and down) are always yellow.]

When Bond is hunting the bomb terrorist at the beginning, they both cross a fence of a building site. At the bottom of the fence is a heap of sand. When the terrorist crosses, the heap approximately reaches the middle of the fence. When Bond crosses a second later, the heap is suddenly higher, although the bulldozer, that is dumping sand, doesn't reach to the fence. Maybe it was to make it a little more comfortable for Daniel Craig to roll over it. [The difference in sand seems to be negligible at best. Even if there was some difference the different angles we see the sand makes it very difficult to compare shots.]

When Vesper puts her red dress on in the hotel room in Venice she isn't wearing a bra. When Bond and her walk down the stairs, a bra strap is visible across her back. [In the shot of her walking down the stairs its difficult to make out whether its a bra. There is a bit of a bulge beneath her dress that might be the bra strap, but as I said its too difficult to make out whether its one or the other.]

At the end of the scene in which James Bond sits in the shower comforting Vesper, there are shadows from the crew moving on the sink/counter in the left foreground. [I have viewed this scene a few times now and cannot see any crew moving. There is a bit of shadow that comes into the picture on the counter but I think that is caused by the camera panning out and the lighting of the scene.]

When Bond is trying to climb onto the aviation fuel truck, his trouser leg rides up and you can see the white protective suit the stuntman is wearing under the costume. [I have looked through a large portion of this sequence and cannot seem to find the moment that you are talking about. There are a few instances where you can see white near his shoes but I took that for socks. Due to the length of the scene it might be worth adding the mistake's timecode or add to the description to point out when this happens so it can be verified.]

When Bond is chasing the terrorist through the construction site ,a large pile of black pipes fall from the building.While they are falling and as the hit the ground they make all kinds of metallic clanging sounds, but if you watch them hit the ground in slow motion, you can see that they are really plastic PVC pipes ,as several of the pipe ends break off and small pieces fly off of them. [The need to use slow motion invalidates this as a mistake, as per the rules of the site.]

Towards the end of the movie, Vesper goes to the bank and withdraws the 120 million dollars to deliver to Mr. White. Next we see her carrying a silver briefcase through the streets of Venice. Then after she's dead, Mr. White presumably fishes it out of the water, and we see him carry it off, but what is in it? Certainly not 120 million dollars or money of any denomination. It would never fit. [Bearer or corporate bonds would easily have fit into a briefcase of that size, even in the amount of 120 million dollars.]

When Bond nearly misses running over Vesper on the highway, his car crashes and flips, leaving him injured. Yet, none of the airbags deploy. [Airbags deploy from a head-on collision. The car rolled and didn't hit anything. I've been a passenger in a car that rolled 3 times down an embankment and the air bags never deployed.]

In the scene where the chase is taking place in the stair well, Bond, Vesper and the villain are fighting over control of a gun when it goes off. In a six foot by six foot stair well, a fired shot would ricochet off the walls several times and make an enormous sound, most likely striking someone and would not just stick in the wall as the sound indicated. [No, not necessarily. A bullet only ricochets when hitting a solid, hard surface at an oblique angle. If it goes fairly straight into the wall, it would not ricochet. Even a concrete wall, when hit fairly straight on, will absorb a bullet.]

In the scene at Miami Airport, Bond calls M to tell her about the possibility of a bomb going off at the airport. We are told in a previous scene that he has caught the last flight from Nassau to Miami. If he made this call at say 10pm in the US it would be 3am in the UK, yet both M and her assistant are in the office and the scene behind M reflects early evening in London. [On the other hand, if he made the call at say 0200, it would be 0500 in London, and early morning looks a lot like early evening. We aren't told the time, so can't judge. As for them being in an office, in a crisis situation, people working overtime is not unusual.]

In the final hand of the poker game, everybody is all-in and Bond wins. However, LeChiffre has a greater value of chips, meaning that Bond can only win from each player up the amount he put into the pot. Any money in excess of this should have gone back to Le Chiffre and the game continued between him and Bond. In the movie, Bond wins everything. [As this was a private game, they may have agreed to this ahead of time. I have played in private games where the standing rule is that if another player has more chips than you in an all in situation and you win, the other player's excess chips are forfeited to prevent the game from dragging on indefintely.]

In the scene where M is briefing Bond in Nassau, she remarks that after the attacks of September 11 the CIA noticed a massive shorting of airline stocks. She remarks, "When the stocks hit bottom on 9/12, somebody made a fortune." M should know that the markets were closed on September 12. They did not reopen until Monday, September 17. [Only the American markets were closed. European markets remained open for everyone to trade on. The CIA presumably watch more than just the NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX and OTCBB?]

In the torture scene, LeChiffre tells Bond that he needs the account number from Vesper and he will easily get it by torturing her. However, before the torture scene, LeChiffre threw Vesper out of the car and onto the road whereupon Bond wrecks his car and is captured. It makes no sense for LeChiffre to risk Vesper's life by throwing her out onto the road in front of Bond's car until after he gets the account number from her. If Bond hits Vesper with the car, she's dead and the account number goes with her. It only makes sense for LeChiffre to cause Bond to crash by throwing Vesper onto the road if LeChiffre knows that Bond will miss her and crash; but of course there's no way for LeChiffre to know that. [That's only a mistake from our point of view earlier in the film - given Vesper's involvement, there's no way to be sure that she's not given him the number voluntarily already, meaning her doesn't actually need her alive (callous but true) so can take any risks with her he likes. Regardless at most it's a character mistake.]
