Mistake Factual error: In the scene where Kananga's henchman Adam is being interrogated by Sheriff Pepper by his car at the riverside, the boat chase arrives and two boats jump clearly over head disillusioning Sheriff Pepper and allowing Adam to make a quick getaway. However, as Adam is getting away in his car, screeches can be heard coming from the tyres, but they are on a dry dirt road.

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": In the scene where Bond and Kananga are fighting underwater, Bond shoves the bullet in Kananga's mouth. Then Kananga rises up and explodes. He explodes like a balloon, with not much blood at all.

Mistake Continuity: Watch the way the bloke at the beginning is holding the snake. Every time the camera shows him from behind he has one hand by its head, yet each time the angle changes to the front his hand is halfway down the snake's body.

Mistake Continuity: When the guy with the snake is shot Baron Samedi re-appears and you can distinctly see the bloke holding the snake again.

Mistake Audio problem: Before Bond and Solitaire gets into Kanaga's den in the end of the movie, we see two guards running. However there are only footsteps from one person.

Mistake Factual error: The henchman with the prosthetic arm bends Bond's gun. It would require something in the range of 1000 pounds of pressure to bend a gun like that. It would be impossible for anyone to generate that much pressure since the arm is driven only by human muscle.

Mistake Continuity: When Bond is on the small isle in the crocodile pond, one of the crocodiles begins to climb the rock. Cut to Bond and then back at the crocodile who has now turned into an alligator. In the next shot it is once again a crocodile.

Mistake Revealing: During the boat chase, Bond slides over an island on which there is a wedding ceremony. One of the other boatmen following bond slides into the wedding cake, destroying it. The bride grabs onto her husband and bursts out crying. You may notice that the groom begins to laugh just as the shot ends.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Bond and Solitaire are tied to the orange thing you can see a wire on the bullet which makes it fly across the room.

Mistake Plot hole: When Kananga and James Bond fall into the water at the end, why wasn't Bond attacked by any of the sharks? He had that cut on his arm so he would have been very appealling to them, reguardless of whether he was too busy fighting Kananga to be eaten.

Mistake Revealing: When Tee Hee bends the barrel of Bond's Walther PPK, in the close-up, the score marks where the barrel has been pre-cut are visible.

Mistake Continuity: When Bond and Quarrel goes to shore there are clear shadows and sun reflections, showing it was actually shot at daytime.

Mistake Revealing: At the end of the film, when James Bond pushes Tee Hee outside the train, you can see his real arm during one quick shot.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When 007 takes the taxi outside the Oh Voodoo Cult Shop, you can see the reflection of the crew on the window of the car.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: As Sheriff Pepper stops his car in front of Adam's by the river, a piece of equipment falls out from under his car.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In New York City, when the taxicab goes up the steps and crashes into the trash cans, the ramp that the car travels on is visible.

Mistake Continuity: In the boat chase, when Bond comes to the shipyard, the goon can't find him. But there would be obvious foam/wake marks and waves after Bond's boat for several minutes.

Mistake Other: When Bond gets his Rolex he explains that by pulling out this button it turns it into a hyper intensified magnet, but he actually turns the bezel to activate it.

Mistake Continuity: After James steals Billy Bob's speedboat, a black gunsel drives to a bridge to intercept him. When he arrives, a very large plume of black smoke, having nothing to do with the plot, can be seen in the distance. When J.W Pepper arrives seconds later, the smoke is nowhere to be seen.

Mistake Continuity: When TeeHee is destroying Bond's gun with his mechanical arm, you can see that the gun already has a crease on it even before it is bent.
