Corrected entry: When they're in the boat, the girl looks forward, sports a quizzical expression, licks her finger to test the wind and then asks Bond where they are going. Now, this all happens when the boat is still moving, so unless the wind is really really strong, the only direction that one could determine from this particular technique would be "forward".

Corrected entry: They use the fuel to blow up their pursuers. Didn't Bond say that they needed that fuel in an earlier scene?
Correction: What 007 actually said was "well we've got plenty of fuel, with a bit of luck we should be there by tomorrow morning": But since they are being chased by the spectre men, dumping the fuel and setting fire to it proved to be an effective way to get away from those pursing boats: It would have been difficult to imagine that 007 would be concerned about having enough fuel to complete the journey when he was getting rid of those barrels of fuel.

Corrected entry: Before the exploding helicopter falls around Bond he has a hat on. In the next shot the hat is nowhere to be found.
Correction: As the helicopter explodes, Bond leans back against the rocks behind him and raises his left arm, it while he is raising his arm that he knocks the hat off his head: He probably forgot about the hat in all the excitement, or simply could not be bothered to pick the hat up and put it back on.

Correction: When Tatiana asks 007 where are they going, she asks this in reference to where 007 is intending to take her, and not in reference to which as to which way the wind is blowing: The licking of her finger does not indicate any specific direction as to which way the boat is going to travel, and is merely a lighthearted gesture made in jest.
