Mistake 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.

Mistake Continuity: When Bond is talking to M, his shirt collar is out of the blazer, then back in, then out again; all in a space of 30 seconds.

Mistake 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.

Mistake Continuity: When M meets Bond, near to the begining of the film, as she walks down the stairs you can see that she is wearing flat shoes, but as she gets to the bottom she is wearing high heels.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake Continuity: At the very end, when Bond throws the can of motor oil at Greene, it first lands next to his left foot. The next shot from Greene's POV, looking down on the ground, shows that the can is now in front of his feet.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

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

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.
