You Only Live Twice

Deliberate mistake: During the scene involving Bond training at Tanaka's fighting grounds, right after Bond stabs the man with the blade at the end of a bamboo pole, no hint of blood can be seen on the blade, and yet the man's clothes are shown stained red. (01:17:00)

Deliberate mistake: When 11 is dropped into the water and eaten by the piranhas, although the ravenous fish probably ate most of her and what was on her, there should at least be pieces of clothing that would rise to the surface in the flurry of activity. Not to mention that even though the water is a murky green all the blood from her body should have created a temporary, but very noticeable darkening of the water.

Revealing mistake: During the car chase scene, if you watch the speedometer on the car, it never rises above zero. That, and the obviously poor image quality of the "road" in front of them, shows that they were using projected film in front of the car.
