Plot hole: In the pre-title sequence, James Bond travels in a hovercraft along the dirt road, which is full of landmines. Soon after reaching the waterfall at the end, trucks drive up along the road he just drove in on to capture him. As there was only one road into the waterfall complex, the landmines must have all disappeared, as earlier on in that sequence, we are informed that the only way that the North Koreans can avoid the mines along that road is by hovercraft. (00:12:05)
Verity: I see you handle your weapon well.
James Bond: I have been known to keep my tip up.
Trivia: This is Pierce Brosnan's least favourite Bond movie of the four in which he appeared. Brosnan disliked the over-the-top special effects and gadgets, and suggested to the producers that the follow-up should be dark and gritty. After Brosnan left, the series was indeed given a grittier reboot.
Question: How did MI6 and the British Crown not notice something was awry when they knighted Gustav Graves (the fact he didn't exist until fourteen months ago)?
Answer: He set up his identity years in advance. Through computers, he set up a birth certificate, social security number, family, and childhood history. He remained anonymous until he struck diamonds and revealed himself to the world with his new face.
