Corrected entry: During the poker games as usual the gamblers say: "check", meaning they pass the opportunity to bet to the next person. However, in the Polish cinema translation the subtitles say "czekam" instead of "sprawdzam", which is the word which should be used. "Czekam" means "I'm waiting" - while it sounds similar to "check", it makes no sense in the context of the game. (01:08:50)

Corrected entry: After James Bond has just won the poker game at Casino Royale, he tips the croupier with a £500,000 chip. In this game, the chips only have nominal value and cannot be cashed in as all the money is being held by the casino to be paid out on the entering of the winner's password. The chip is therefore worthless.
Correction: It's not at all unreasonable to think that the casino deducts handling fees and tips from the prize money. Pretty negligible amounts from 130 million dollars. It's also reasonable to think that the tip will be billed to Bond's account at the hotel, footed by MI6.
Correction: I've played in and watched many tournaments where the winner will toss the dealer a chip as a promise of a tip from the winnings. While the act itself is symbolic, it's a gesture to the dealer that a tip is coming.

Corrected entry: On the side of the fuel truck that the terrorist is going to use to blow up the plane there's a label: JP4 .Commercial aircraft don't use JP4, they use JP5 or jet A. JP4 is used in military aircraft.
Correction: The US military stopped using JP4 in 1996. Since commercial jetliners today use a fuel known as Jet A, it doesn't really matter what's painted on the truck as it will contain Jet A, the correct fuel.

Correction: Not really, "check" just means that you are going to wait and see what the other players do, since if one of them bets, you have to call, raise or fold. "I'm waiting" would be a perfectly valid interpretation.
