Revealing mistake: In a quick shot where the divers are coming into save Sanchez as the van has been ditched into the ocean, you can see the man in the van is not Robert Davi but a stuntman. It then changes shot to the diver giving Robert Davi a spare demand valve. (00:16:05)

Continuity mistake: After Bond makes the truck crash, he dodges the rocket while the driver stares in awe. Then the crashed truck is hit and explodes. The problem is, when Bond is heading towards the goons, one can see that the crashed truck is nowhere in sight, so not only could the rocket not have struck it, but the driver couldn't have seen what was going on.

Question: Is License To Kill the first Bond movie that isn't based on a novel or short story?

MikeH

Chosen answer: "License to Kill" is partly based on the novel "Live and Let Die" and the short story "Hilderbrand Rarity". However, it is the first Bond film not titled after a book. While "The Spy Who Loved Me" shares its name with a book, it was the first Bond film not based on a book (though subsequently, there was a novelization of the film.) "Goldeneye" is the first film not based on a book AND not titled after a book.
