The Man with the Golden Gun

Continuity mistake: During the belly dancer fight, Bond is pushed against a corner and the painting next to him remains unharmed. A shot later, from a different angle, it's skewed.

Continuity mistake: When Scaramanga blows the Bond dummy's fingers, the first shot blows the middle and ring fingers, and the second shot the pinky. When the angle changes, the index finger has also disappeared.

Factual error: J.W. Pepper refers to himself as "Sheriff J.W. Pepper, Louisiana State Police." Sheriff is a local office while the state police are a state agency. A person can't be both.

Deliberate mistake: In the scene inside the belly dancer's dressing room, during the brawl Bond has with the KGB agents, he shoves the bald headed guy into the mirror along the bottom 1/3rd of the glass, yet the middle along the left hand side of the mirror makes it look as if that was the initial point of impact before it shatters.

Character mistake: In the scene where Scaramanga invites Bond for lunch, at the dinner table Scaramanga tells Bond he would like to with duel with him, Bond asks Scaramanga "My six shots to your one?" referring to his own Walther PPK and Scaramanga's Golden Gun. The Walther PPK can hold 7 rounds per magazine, plus one in the breech, and he has not used any rounds before that shot in the same scene, so he has 8 shots available, not 6.

Trivia: When J. W. Pepper first notices Bond going by on the boat, some oriental music plays – the tune is the theme to "Live And Let Die" (this was the previous film where they first met). (01:00:00)

More trivia for The Man with the Golden Gun

Answer: I haven't been able to find any information on its whereabouts so my guess would be that ended up like most movie props do. Either as a souvenir for one of the people attached to the movie, (actor, director, etc.) in storage (in case it could be recycled as a prop in another movie) or simply discarded when it wasn't needed anymore.
