Continuity mistake: During the car chase scene Bond overtakes a blue car partially off-road. We see Bond's car almost getting side-by-side by the blue car before we're getting an in-car shot of Bond's car being just behind the blue one.
Continuity mistake: When Bond goes into the belly dancer's dressing room, at first she does not have the golden bullet in her belly button, then she does.
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.
Continuity mistake: After Scaramanga kills Hai Fat, James meets Goodnight in a bar. As they drink the Phuyuck 74, Goodnight's fingers change position on her glass depending on it being a front or rear shot.
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.
Audio problem: This appears to just be an issue on the Amazon Prime upload of this movie. But as Bond is walking out of the boar office with Lieutenant Hip, Hip is saying "He lives in a big house on a mountainside surrounded by guards." The S at the end of the word guards has a shuddering effect where it repeats and sounds like "guards-s-s." A DVD rip of this movie was checked and the audio problem was not there; it seems to just be on Amazon Prime's upload. (00:44:05)
Suggested correction: I don't see how this qualifies as a movie mistake. The problem seems to originate with the streaming service, not from the movie itself.
It is still valid even if it applies to a specific version of a movie or show, like the quirks with the Disney +/Hulu uploads of Family Guy having some image glitches here and there.
