Corrected entry: In the train scene the carriages are de-coupled by shooting out a chain. Carriages are never held together by a chain, but rather by a special hook (which can be seen in this shot). Even if they were just held by a chain, the chain would not be destroyed by a bullet shot. (00:08:25)

Corrected entry: The car used in the chase at the beginning has Turkish number plates. However, it also has an EU (presumably a UK) country disc. Turkey is not in the EU.
Correction: While Turkey is not, as yet, a member of the European Union, it has been a member of the European Customs Union since 1995 and thus their number plates include the blue "Eurostripe", but without the European flag symbol (which is correctly missing in the film).

Correction: This train is in Turkey. It is probably an old under-maintained train. The regular coupling may have been broken at that time and a chain was employed temporarily until it could be fixed. A normal bullet could not break a chain, but Patrice was using depleted uranium shells - which are armour piercing and could go through a chain. It is also why Bond got shot inside the excavator cab - the bullet went through the cab's metal plating.
