Continuity mistake: When James Bond is fighting underwater with an opponent, the opponent rips off James' diving mask (which is blue). Then, James rips another mask off another opponent who is lying dead on the ocean floor. This dead opponent's mask is black. James puts on the black mask, and then he turns around, and the mask is blue again. (01:57:10)
Visible crew/equipment: When the colonel dressed as a woman enters his house a butler opens a glass door, as he does, for a second, a big round stage light is reflected. (00:01:45)
Visible crew/equipment: As Domino and Bond start to walk up the beach after getting out of her boat, the crewman that was driving the boat can be seen hiding inside the boat as it is turned around. (00:46:55)
Revealing mistake: In the close ups of the jet pack scenes, the wires holding Bond up are visible.
Continuity mistake: When Bond and Felix go out for the first time to search for the missing plane, Bond's hair has a parting to the left and is wearing watch on his left arm, but at the moment when they are flying over Largo's house, Bond is looking through a pair of binoculars. As he says to Felix "separate pools for sharks, no less" his hair is now parted on the right and his watch is now on his right arm, also watch out for the mouthpiece on Felix's headphones - it changes from left to right.
Continuity mistake: On the boat, after falling down the stairs, the captain returns—only to take two consecutive blows to the jaw with some kind of heavy object. The first hit knocks his hat off, but in the very next shot, it's back on again. (00:02:57)
Continuity mistake: Bond knocks Bouvar down with a chair, but it vanishes in the next shot - only to reappear a moment later.
Continuity mistake: When Fiona's henchmen, Vargas and Janni, burst into the room, they grab Paula and throw her onto the bed. In the next shot, a pink garment is suddenly visible, sticking out of a drawer behind them.
Continuity mistake: When Bond lands his jet pack, the sky swaps from cloudy to clear between shots.
Continuity mistake: After the cupboard falls on Bouvar, Bond removes his widow's cap and his head rests on the hardwood floor. In the next shot, however, it's lying on the carpet. Also, a white broken china decor disappears.
Continuity mistake: When Bouvar throws the knife, the handle changes colour from ivory to brown between shots. It's a quick moment, but the shift is so obvious - and the shot so close - that it's impossible to miss.
Trivia: After Bouvar throws the grandfather clock at Bond, 007 stands by the third window - with no paintings nor furniture - staring at him. The scene cuts to a very brief shot where something already feels off. If you pause, you'll notice that Bond has suddenly moved to the second window - with a painting and a cabinet. One shot later, he's several meters back again - standing by the previous third window.
Visible crew/equipment: As Bond is starting down the stairs into the secret service hide-out in the Bahamas you can see a boom mike in the upper right hand corner of the screen. After the mike goes out of picture you can still see its shadow on the wall. (00:59:25)
Continuity mistake: Bond pushes the cupboard to knock Bouvar down; the attacker's widow cap falls off, revealing his wig. When he lies on the ground, however, the cap is back on.
Revealing mistake: When the boat crashes, even though the scene lasts barely two seconds, it's impossible to overlook the absence of the huge stabilizing fin sticking out from the side. Also, the blue draft line is absent. Revealing a different boat was used.
Trivia: A full-size replica of the Vulcan bomber was placed in Bahamian waters and then blown up after filming to prevent unauthorized reuse. The remains of the set were left in place, and over time the framework became an artificial reef. Today, the wreck is a well-known dive site in the Bahamas, attracting scuba divers as both a film curiosity and marine habitat.
Answer: Bond hands Kutze a lifesaver just before they jump off the hydrofoil. Presumably he just floated there before being picked up by the Coast Guard.
