Live and Let Die

Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Bond and Kananga are fighting underwater, Bond shoves the bullet into Kananga's mouth. Then, Kananga rises up and explodes. He explodes like a balloon, with not much blood at all. (01:55:00)

Deliberate mistake: The snake that "attacks" Bond in the bathroom can be visually identified as a mere kingsnake. Apparently just a black kingsnake or a California kingsnake. It is in no way venomous or dangerous but is presented in the film as such. This was done to keep Roger Moore safe by using a tame non-venomous snake. However, this breed is easily identifiable, being a kingsnake and safe, a harmless constrictor. (00:32:35 - 00:34:35)

Other mistake: In the boat chase, when Bond comes to the shipyard, the goon can't find him. But there would be obvious foam/wake marks and waves after Bond's boat for several minutes. (01:37:20)

Trivia: On a previous scouting mission for the film, the team passed a roadside sign on a gate which read "Trespassers Will Be Eaten" – this transpired to be a Jamaican crocodile farm, owned by one Ross Kananga. His father had been eaten by one of these beasts – he was always quick to point out which of the 1500 or so – and with his disregard for the dangers involved with his profession, he was widely regarded by the crew as being a lunatic. He obviously made an impression, though, as it was decided that his farm would be written into the script and even his name was used for that of the villain. Most of the stunts performed with these crocodiles in the film were done by Kananga himself. For one shot, however, Moore was required to stand on an island, surrounded by hungry reptiles. The actor suggested that a nice touch would be for him to wear crocodile shoes for the scene. The live animals were removed and replaced with fakes, and Moore placed on the island. Once the cameras started to roll, some of the fake crocodiles began edging towards the actor. (01:19:30 - 01:24:10)

Chosen answer: One assumes that the card that 'foretold' that Rosie was a double-agent was either sent by Felix Lighter of the FBI/CIA or by Solitaire herself. But, more than likely, it was Bond's faithful sidekick Quarrel, Jr. (the fisherman/boat captain on San Monique).

CCARNI

Answer: This is never definitively answered in the film itself, so it's left up to the individual viewer to decide. But, as the previous responder said, Quarrel Jr. or Solitaire sent Bond the note. Maybe Felix Leiter, maybe not.
