Corrected entry: The password for the money has 5 letters, but later Vesper puts in 6 letters; her name Vesper, the password, has 6 letters.
Corrected entry: When Bond and Solange see each other on the beach, in the shot where Bond first comes out of the water (close up) there are several people in the background and a boat moving left of frame. However in the next wide shot of him everyone around him disappears and there is now a boat moving right of the frame. (00:30:30)
Correction: It's just the angles - the first shot is from Bond's left, and he's looking slightly over his shoulder towards Solange. The next shot where everyone vanishes is from straight on - the people around him are to the left, offscreen, and the boat moving right of frame we actually saw in the earlier shot, heading left to right, and it ends up in the right place.
Corrected entry: The 1964 Aston Martin DB5 won by Bond in the hotel poker game is the same model as that driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger. However, the producers had to fit it with an automatic gearbox as Daniel Craig cannot drive a manual car.
Correction: Craig can indeed drive a manual car. The idea that he couldn't was just a story the press cooked up, as is detailed in his biography.
Corrected entry: The license plates of the cars in Montenegro have the old Yugoslav flag on them, instead of the Montenegrin one.
Correction: Yugoslav style licence plates were valid and issued at least until 2008.
Correction: Depending on when this scene was filmed, it may still have been part of Serbia - Montonegro only voted for independence in early 2006.
Corrected entry: When James and Vesper are lying on a deserted beach and their yacht is in the distance, how did they get to the beach? There is no dinghy tied up on the beach. They aren't naked. Did they put their clothes in plastic bags and swim? The yacht is quite far away. And when we see them sailing (motoring) into Venice, there is no dinghy trailing behind them or an inflated one lashed to the yacht.
Correction: Often yachts are serviced by launch services in most large harbors. For a small fee like $5 a ride or $20 a day a small boat will pick up and drop off people on visiting yachts. Far more common really than using a small dinghy, especially if people are dressed up to go out for dinner etc.
Corrected entry: When Bond loses all his chips at the poker match, Felix tells Bond he will give him his chips to play with, but Felix is seen still playing later, which he shouldn't be; he doesn't have any chips.
Correction: Leiter is offering to stake the five million for Bond's buy-back to return to the game after Vesper refused. He says at the time that he's almost out of chips and knows he can't beat Le Chiffre, but he thinks Bond can do it.
Corrected entry: After James Bond has just won the poker game at Casino Royale, he tips the croupier with a £500,000 chip. In this game, the chips only have nominal value and cannot be cashed in as all the money is being held by the casino to be paid out on the entering of the winner's password. The chip is therefore worthless.
Correction: It's not at all unreasonable to think that the casino deducts handling fees and tips from the prize money. Pretty negligible amounts from 130 million dollars. It's also reasonable to think that the tip will be billed to Bond's account at the hotel, footed by MI6.
Correction: I've played in and watched many tournaments where the winner will toss the dealer a chip as a promise of a tip from the winnings. While the act itself is symbolic, it's a gesture to the dealer that a tip is coming.
Corrected entry: Why did Bond's female assistant refuse to give him another $5 million after he lost the first $10 million? I thought she would do anything to save her kidnapped boyfriend.
Correction: This is a question, not a mistake - please remember there is a separate area for addressing questions. As for Vesper "doing anything to save her boyfriend", this is never stated anywhere in the film, and it seems entirely in character for her to refuse to provide Bond with additional funds when she's convinced that he's too reckless not to lose it to Le Chiffre and give the terrorists even more money.
Correction: Le Chiffre winning was actually the best outcome possible for Vesper. If he already has all the money, then she is not needed to make the transfer, and then she doesn't need to follow up with having to betray Bond (and her country), while Le Chiffre's need to hold her boyfriend as a bargaining chip become a moot point.
Corrected entry: In the final poker showdown, the odds simply are not in favor of the 4 remaining players having such powerful hands. The odds of those four hands occurring simultaneously is 1 in 1,931,990,034,744,000 - or to put it another way, if every human on Earth was in a Texas Hold'em tournament at the same time, that would not happen until the 320 millionth hand was dealt. I know we have to suspend reality to enjoy the movie, but that is a bit much.
Correction: It can and does happen with 5 community cards. I've personally been in a hand where a heart flush, four of a kind and a straight flush to the Queen (my hand), all lost to a straight flush to the King.
Correction: Bond definitely pushes 6 buttons to enter the password the first time. 1H 10M.
