Corrected entry: In Kazakhstan, when Bond shoots at Renard, the bullet takes too long to go from his gun to the bullet-proof window.

The World is Not Enough (1999)
Corrected entry: At the end of the pursuit on the Thames, when Bond's boat arrives at the Millennium Dome, his boat flies and then hits the ground. In the next shot, it is still in the air and goes at a high speed. (00:13:10)
Correction: Yes, his boat flies over the fence. It then hits the ground as you say but it then bounces back in the air again (which is when Bond jumps onto the balloon). Not a mistake. It bounces twice, that's all.

Corrected entry: In the MI-6 headquarter in Scotland, the man playing the bagpipes has a white wire attached to one of his shoes. Maybe a part of the special effect with the flamethrower and the automatic gun?
Correction: Assuming the wire is something to do with the flamethrower, I'm not really sure how it's a mistake - even if the device were real, it would still have wires attached to it. If Bond were using it in the field, this would be a mistake, as Q would have disguised the various components better, but when it's simply being tested, having part of the device visible isn't a problem.

Corrected entry: James Bond convert the money from Pounds to American Dollars. How did he get an exact sum if the exchange rate changes every minutes?
Correction: That was probably the exchange rate issued at the moment the ransom amount was made official.

The World is Not Enough (1999)
Corrected entry: Previous American president Bill Clinton was considered for the role of a bad guy.
Correction: This movie was released in 1999, and it seems ludicrous that anyone would approach a *sitting* US President about a major film role. I think the submitter was referring to this rumour about Bond 21 (the sequel to Die Another Day): http://www.showbizireland.com/news/march03/14-brosnan76.shtml.

The World is Not Enough (1999)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, Bond's got some money in his hand when the pile's scanned (presumably for explosives/contamination/something). He only puts it down after the scanner's gone past, which surely negates the entire point of scanning it?
Correction: Not true - he puts it down as the scanner ends its first pass, right in line of the blue light. The scanner then continues moving over the money, including the notes Bond just put down.
