Quantum of Solace (2008) - 27 mistakes

Continuity: At the end of "Casino Royale," Bond is wearing a three-piece suit. Although "Quantum of Solace" begins just minutes later, Bond is wearing a completely different, two-piece, suit.

Continuity: After Bond throws Mathis into the dustbin, the position of Mathis' arm changes. One shot it lies in the dustbin; the next shot it lies on the edge of the dustbin.

Revealing: In the roof top chase between Bond and Mitchell, it is obvious that both characters are wearing black running shoes, when in the previous scene both wore smart black suit shoes.

Other: Cars in Bolivia are required to carry both front and rear registration plates. In the movie hardly any of the cars shown have one.

Continuity: When Bond is talking to Mathis at a table at the cottage in Italy, pay attention to the watch on Mathis' wrist. First it faces the side of his wrist because that way it is best shown on screen, but in the next shot, still at the table, it suddenly faces the outside of his wrist like watches are usually worn.

Continuity: When Bond is on the plane with Mathis, and asks the waiter for his usual drink, between shots, Mathis' hair changes - in some shots there's a lock of hair on his left down by his eye, in some shots he's got two bits of hair loose on his right, and in others his hair's all in place. All this without him ever touching it.

Continuity: In the scene on Haiti, before Camille gets on the boat, she talks with Dominic Green and has her hands on his shoulders. But the positions changes between shots from shoulders to upper arm and back again.

Continuity: During the scene where Mathis dies in Bond's arms, the position of Mathis' head changes between some of the shots.

Continuity: During the fight scene at the Hotel Dessalines with Slate, Bond and Slate go through glass pane doors and land on the terrace, and Bond kills Slate. Notice that at first there is a broken piece of wood pane laying next to Slate's head; the next shot shows no wood pane, and there is a door knob that wasn't laying close to Slate's head in the first shot.

Continuity: As Bond is cradling Mathis after Mathis gets shot by the policemen, the blood on Bond's right hand changes between the long shots and the close ups.

Continuity: During the car chase down the narrow street in the stone pit, the police truck chasing Bond drives into a house and completely destroys it. In the next shot the car falls off the edge of the street, but it's front is completely untouched. After completely destroying a house, it should at least have some dents and scratches.

Factual error: Bolivia has no desert. It has a large highland called altiplano and the world's second largest salt desert. Both look totally different than the landscapes shown in the movie.

Continuity: When Bond is talking to M, his shirt neck is undone (i.e. out of the blazer), then back to tidy, then undone again; all in a space of 30 seconds.

Continuity: In the car chase scene at the beginning, the Italian Police Defender does not have its roof mounted lights as it rolls down the hill.

Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, Bond and M are interrogating a man Bond brought in. As the man they are interrogating tells Bond that he was always interested in meeting him, look at his face - there is no blood line going down the right side of his face. But the next shot shows one as he continues talking.

Factual error: At the end it is stated that the building in the desert is creating a noise due to the fuel cells. In actuality fuel cells are silent generators of power.

Continuity: While Greene is talking to his associates in Bregenz, the opera is approaching the end of act one which finishes just as Greene and Bond meet in the hall. However, at this point Mario Cavaradossi is suddenly being shot, which is the end of act three/the end of the opera. At the same time the music jumps to the end of act two, just after Tosca stabbed Scarpia; this scene is then shown while Bond is being chased.

Continuity: In the car chase scene at the beginning, the number plate of the Alfa changes once it goes from the road to the quarry.

Continuity: At the beginning during the car chase, the lorry has its tyre shot out and smashes into the wall breaking its wing mirror. When it steers back across the road, the wing mirror is in its original unbroken state.

Continuity: After Camille shoots General Medrano, she sits up on the floor looking at him; the very next shot has an overturned table beside her that wasn't in that first shot.
