Live and Let Die

Plot hole: Bond steals the ancient double decker bus, not noted for any kind of speed, and he also doesn't get much of a head start against the police, yet in later shots he's quite a distance ahead of them. Skilled driver or not, it's a bus. (00:58:50 - 01:01:10)

Plot hole: James Bond shouldn't have gotten away at the end of the airport scene, where he steals an aeroplane and pretends to be a flying instructor. He had no wings with which to fly away, and he ended back up right outside the airport. So, the henchmen, who seemed to still be chasing him one shot before he parked, should have been right on him, waiting when he got out of the plane. (01:06:55)

Suggested correction: This is not necessarily true. He already got away from the cars chasing him, as they crashed. Any that were still pursuing him would have been blocked in the hangar. The other guys running after him were running on foot. Even while taxiing, the plane is faster than the men on foot. Once the plane is stopped, we don't see what happens next as it cuts to the next scene after the funny bit with the pilot. So the exact means of his escape or not is speculation.

Quantom X

Plot hole: After Bond defeats both Whisper and Kananga, all the other red-shirt henchmen that were in the room with them seem to have disappeared. When Bond came down into that room with Solitaire, and several times during the scene down there, Kanenga's men were seen all over the room in various locations. Yet after Bond beats the two main baddies, the other guys have all gone and are not attacking Bond. (01:55:15)

More quotes from Live and Let Die

Trivia: With so many black actors, most of whom were cast as villains in the film, producers wanted to write in another character, a comedy part, to draw attention away. New York actor Clifton James was cast in the role of "Sheriff J. W. Pepper" (he was so popular that he would turn up again in the next Bond film). (01:27:40)

Question: Is this the only Bond film where the title song is being sung by a character during the film?

Answer: As far as I can tell, yes. Unless you count "Die Another Day," where the singer of the title song (Madonna) appears in a scene, as well as the song being remixed for the party scene in the ice castle.
