The Living Daylights

Audio problem: In the sniper scene, Bond is asked if he wishes to use the soft-nosed bullets to kill the potential assassin to which he replies, 'No the steel-tipped'. There isn't any lip movement, however, after the word 'no'.

Audio problem: In the sniper scene, Bond asks Saunders to switch off the lights. Then Bond closes his jacket using velcro. The sound the you hear is not right. This is the sound that you will hear if you pull off velcro, not attach it.

Vince van Riet

Audio problem: At the fairground, James tells Cara that he has to check a message, but his mouth doesn't move when he says this.

Audio problem: When Saunders says "In the box, between the KGB minders" at the concert, his mouth is not moving.

Audio problem: Near the end of the movie when Bond cuts his shoe off to make Necros fall and Necros starts screaming you can briefly see his mouth is closed during the fall.

Jeffy

Audio problem: Kara asks Bond in the plane cockpit what happened to the bad guy. He replies that he got the boot. His lips don't match what he says however.

Factual error: In the "Soviet" base in Afghanistan, every equipment, from armoured carriers to light tanks, is of French manufacture. And the transport plane is an American C-130 Hercules.

Trivia: After Bond returns to London (when he's completed his mission in Eastern Europe), there's an "establishing" shot of a London street scene. Look closely at the placards behind the newspaper vendor. One of the placards says "BLAZING JEEP AT 2,000 FEET" - a reference to the Jeep on fire and going over a cliff in the pre-title sequence, perhaps?

Question: What exactly happened to Koskov at the end? Pushkin said something like "Put him on a Plane in a diplomatic bag" but was he just being sarcastic or what?

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: He says, "Put him on the first plane to Moscow...", making Koskov think he was going to live, but then Pushkin adds, "...in a diplomatic bag." He is being transported back to Russia in a bag...hence, he will be quite dead.
