Continuity mistake: When M arrives to see Mallory, a bag is placed on the ground near her seat. It is still there just as she stands up and grabs her coat. In the next shot, the bag is gone and she walks out without it.

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Sam Mendes
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Judi Dench, Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris
M (Judi Dench) dies of a wound sustained during a confrontation against Silva's (Javier Bardem) troops at Bond's (Daniel Craig) childhood home and family estate in Scotland. Bond kills Silva. The agent (Naomie Harris) who accidentally shot Bond at the beginning of the movie reveals her name: Eve Moneypenny (who in the pre-rebooted Bond films was M's secretary at MI6). She decides to quit being a field agent and start working at a desk job. Bond continues working as a field agent and Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) becomes M's replacement.

Q: I can do more damage on my laptop in my pyjamas than you can do in a year in the field.
James Bond: Then what do you need me for?
Q: Every now and then a trigger has to be pulled.
James Bond: Or not pulled. It's hard to know which in your pyjamas.
Question: In the opening action scene, while Bond is fighting the terrorist on the top of the train, Moneypenny says "I do not have a clean shot." She has already been communicating with him on radio, why doesn't she just tell him to get out of the bloody way?
