Visible crew/equipment: During the parachute sequence, Bond's stunt double can briefly be seen wearing skydiving gear.
Revealing mistake: A wire can be seen holding Bond so he can achieve zero gravity in the satellite after it has stopped rotating.
Revealing mistake: When Bond is going through zero gravity after cancelling normal gravity, a wire can be seen on his belt holding him in the air.
Factual error: In the parachute scene, the bad guy's leg straps are missing. Without which, when his chute opened, he most likely would fall out of his harness.
Revealing mistake: When Bond hits the button to throw the space station out of its gravity and sends everyone out of position look at the command console manned by the two Drax henchmen, the prop used for the console laughably moves back and forth during the commotion.
Continuity mistake: When Bond is looking at the airport through the telescope in Rio he sees the Drax cargo plane coming down the runway but just seconds before in the wide shot of the whole airport there is no plane on the runway or anywhere near it.
Revealing mistake: When Jaws brings Bond and Holly to the command center of the space station Drax is sitting down in his chair then suddenly in the next shot he's standing without having moved.
Continuity mistake: Bond manages to shut off the gravity in the whole station, but when the bad guys begin their battle with the Marine astronauts the bag guys are walking towards the airlock hatch as if they have full gravity.
Factual error: There are way more Marines in the American shuttle than it should be able to hold.
Audio problem: When Drax greets Bond on the island, as he's saying the part about the snake, you hear him talk, but his mouth isn't moving.
Revealing mistake: When the passengers disembark from the shuttle the camera appears to be on the side of the space station, but look at the stars on the bottom of the screen - they are moving a lot faster than the stars on the top of the screen, both sets of stars should be moving at the same speed.
Continuity mistake: When Bond throws the chain over the cable there are two handles attached to the chain, but when they slide away the handles on the chain are gone.
Other mistake: Bond is pushed from the plane without a parachute, but can see he wearing a altimeter on his wrist.
Revealing mistake: When the shuttle ejects the engines you can see the support wires used to pull off the boosters.
Revealing mistake: During the boat chase with Jaws the close up of Bond driving the boat reveals at the bottom of the screen part of the camera rig holding the camera in place. In other long shots these brackets are missing from the boat.
Continuity mistake: When Bond's gondola goes under a bridge an encounters the hearse, the canal they're in changes completely. The street on the right disappears and is replaced by a brick wall.
Continuity mistake: When Bond arrives to Venice he grabs a card from Venini Glass. From the immediate opposite angle the cards is gone.
Visible crew/equipment: After Bond/Roger Moore's stuntman throws the pilot out of the plane, a safety bar connecting the plane and the stuntman's body is noticeable.
Visible crew/equipment: When the pilot aims a gun at Bond, there's a black bulky object reflected (filming crew or equipment) on the ice cube which disappears in the opposite shot.
Continuity mistake: Before Bond jumps out of the boat with the delta wing glider, the sky swaps from sunny to cloudy and back to sunny, between shots.
Chosen answer: His comments to Drax were about the physical and mental perfection that Drax required for those chosen to repopulate the Earth. As Dolly (Jaw's girlfriend) needs glasses, she falls short of those criteria (as, quite probably, does Jaws himself), which makes him wonder whether Drax won't simply get rid of them once he's carried out his plan. As such, he chooses to ally himself with Bond rather than risk Dolly being harmed.
