Continuity mistake: After the last chip exchange, Bond's dinner jacket is off. When he gets up after winning, the jacket is back on.
Other mistake: At the end of the poker tournament Le Chiffre shows his hand first, before Bond shows his hand for dramatic effect, even though Bond had re-raised, and Le Chiffre called the raise. He should have had to have shown his hand after Bond showed his, and not before.
Continuity mistake: When Bond is fighting the contact in the restroom at the beginning, he hits the guy's hand against the mirror and the gun goes flying off to the right. After Bond drowns him in the sink and lets him fall to the ground, the gun is right under the sink. (00:02:45)
Continuity mistake: While LeChiffre is playing poker on his yacht, his girlfriend Valenka comes on the yacht after swimming. As she enters the room, she is seen passing LeChiffre twice in a closeup and wide camera shot in front of table. (00:20:00)
Character mistake: When Bond is sending his resignation email, another email titled "Stationary Request" is visible in his outbox. The grammatical mistake (it should be "Stationery Request") seems to be an unusual error by Bond and not quite in keeping with his character, his assumed background or his smooth way with words.
Factual error: A caption "Montenegro" is shown when the train rides through some mountains. Just after, an inside shot shows the train passing a station. Briefly, the sign "Chur Ost" (a station in Switzerland) flashes by.
Revealing mistake: When Bond is chasing Le Chiffre and Vesper in his Aston Martin, the shot pans as he drives round a corner from right to left. The sequence cuts to a slightly different camera angle where Bond appears to be driving around a different corner, but if you look closely it is the same corner as the previous shot, with Bond simply driving in the opposite direction, i.e. from left to right. (01:46:35)
Continuity mistake: In the last hand of poker, they put the fourth card out which is the four of spades, Bond checks, and then the player in seat 2 goes all in for 6 million, followed by a call for 5 million, then the villain raises, and then Bond goes all in. But what we never saw was the fifth card being dealt, which is the river, and the ace of spades. There's no way that the villain would call the all in before that card was played, he is not going to do that with two pair and a coordinated flushed board. If you watch it slowly, after the second player goes all in, you see that there are now five cards on the board. We never see the river being dealt, which is a pivotal card in this hand.
Continuity mistake: When the tanker is stolen at the airport the refuelling hose is out but when it's driven away the hose has been stowed away with no time to do this.
Continuity mistake: When Bond shoots Mr. White in the leg at the end of the movie, Mr. White is standing on the side of his car between a large bush, a bench and a ground light. After he is shot and is crawling away, the car isn't in view. Based on where he was standing and shot the car should still be visible while he is crawling. (02:25:00)
Revealing mistake: In the torture scene, when we see a close-up of the chair while Le Chiffre hits Bond's testicles with a rope, the rope only hits the chair.
Revealing mistake: When Bond runs up the crane arm you see three rows of black EZY Grip Anti-Slip tape on the crane arm so he doesn't kill himself running up it. (00:12:10)
Continuity mistake: When Bond is playing Dimitrios in the game where he wins the car, just before he goes all in you can hear the female dealer speaking but there is a man dealing. Then when Dimitrios tries to write a check it's the female dealer there who tells him "table stakes only."
Answer: From the novel: "Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel."
