Corrected entry: In the opening scene, Bond kills a guard by throwing scalpels into his arms and chest. Scalpels are much too light to penetrate even bare skin when thrown, let alone a shirt.

Corrected entry: When in Cairo, Bond is told to ask Marie where Blofeld is. In the next scene we see Bond talking to Marie at a beautiful coastal setting with granite cliffs. There is nowhere in Egypt where the cliffs have that colour or where there is such vegetation. That is not geologically possible.

Corrected entry: In the prequel, when Bond pushes the Japanese guy up against the wall, and he says 'Cairo,' his mouth doesn't move - at least not in a way where he could form the word Cairo.

Corrected entry: When Bond is having his drink at Tiffany's apartment, he is fondling the glass and moving his fingers. So there would be more than one print - and it wouldn't be as clean-cut as it is.
Correction: Although he does move his fingers his thumb stays in place. Even as he moves the glass around with his fingers it is rolling back and forth across his thumb, retracing the same print. Tiffany examines the glass, sees that there is one clear thumbprint on one side of the glass, and uses that to identify him as Peter Franks.

Correction: These were metal-handled scalpels with razor blade-sharp tips, it is pure assumption to state that they were too light to penetrate skin or fabric. In the previous movie Bond hurls a knife across a room and hits a specific date on a calender, showing that he is an accomplished knife-thrower.
