Licence to Kill corrections

Slightly weird one, this. Just after Bond says "compliments of Sharky", Krest takes his gun out and fires at him. For some weird reason there's a jump cut a fraction of a second before he shoots - he pulls out the gun, aims, then jumps slightly to the right and fires. See more...

Trivia

When Pam Bouvier is posing as Bond's personal assistant, he gives her the pseudonym of Miss Kennedy, a reference to the fact that former First Lady Jackie Kennedy's maiden name was Bouvier. See more...

David Hedison is the only actor to play Felix Leiter twice. The first time was in Live And Let Die (the eighth official Bond film.) [Jeffery Wright plays Felix Leiter in both "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace".]

When Bond removes the CD from the back of the picture frame in the house it's a standard sized CD. When he places the CD in the computer it's a mini CD. [No it isn't. It never changes size.]

When Bond is captured in Isthmus City, he gets a bloody cut under his left ear, which heals overnight without a trace. [The cut is not under his ear, but on the side of his head (under his hair) where he is struck unconscious. When he falls unconscious, no cut can be seen on his face, which makes sense as Bond is unlikely to fall unconscious from a strike in the face.]

James Bond receives a lighter off his friend Felix. Then we see a close up of the lighter. At that point take a look below the lighter and you can see the brown lighter case just behind it. Then at the end of the film you will see the lighter case again when Bond shows it to Sanchez, and he didn't even fetch it out of his pocket. The close ups of the lighter are the same in both the start and the end of the film. [A shot of Bond pulling the lighter out of his pocket is included on the Ultimate Edition 2-disc DVD release, just after Sanchez' line "You could have had everything." It was probably just cut out of some broadcasts of the film.]

Time

In the prologue, when Bond has angled Sanchez' plane, the helicopter is flying rather low over the wedding scene, the people on the ground and on the helicopter are waving to each other, so they are close enough to see one another. Then, in the next shot, Bond and Felix are jumping out of the helicopter for skydiving, obviously from high elevation. [It's the next shot, not the same shot. There's no indication of time passed between shots, so the helicopter climbed in altitude.]

At the airport Bond puts his ticket into his right hand inside pocket, but when he later produces them at the check in desk he takes it out of the left pocket. [That's not the ticket he takes out of his left pocket - it is his passport.]

When 007 is swimming and he takes the diver's mask and oxygen, he puts the mask on underwater. His mask should be full of water, but instead it's only around his nose. In the next shot, there's no water at all. [It is possible to get water out of a mask while submerged. Most modern masks have a oneway valve on the bottom of the mask so that when you blow air out of your nose it forces the water out of the valve.]

Near the beginning, Felix is savaged by a shark and his wife is murdered, but near the end he seems too happy. Perhaps he wanted his wife dead. [People DO laugh and smile when some time passes after a loved one's death (especially when the person responsible is dead).]

Licence to Kill was the first Bond movie to be completely devoid of anything written by Ian Fleming. By the time the Bond producers came to film this movie, all the Ian Fleming stories had been used up, one way or another. [This is actually incorrect. I've read every word Ian Fleming wrote, and this film does indeed use a portion of one of the texts. The piece actually comes from the book, Live and Let Die. Granted, the Roger Moore film version of Live and Let Die does indeed use many parts of the book, including the villian, scenes in Harlem in NYC, etc., but there is a scene in Florida where Bond is on assignment with Felix Leiter. The two of them are staying in hotel. Bond investigates an aquarium warehouse (just like in LTK) and he comes back to the hotel to find Leiter eaten half alive. Most of his motivation for the remainder of the novel is revenge.]
