Thunderball (1965)

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film Bond manages to get away with the help his Aston Martin DB5, which should be impossible since Bond crashed that car into the wall of Auric Goldfinger's factory in Switzerland.

Correction: Throughout the history of Bond films James Bond is provided with a new car whenever one is destroyed. This was obviously a different car.

Thunderball (1965)

Corrected entry: At the movie's end, Bond is wearing a harness to enable him to be picked up by the plane. He takes Domino in his arms, and moments later they are snagged by the plane and yanked out of the life raft. The speed and force of the plane would have ripped Bond out of Domino's arms, leaving her in the raft if she was lucky, unconscious or dead if she was not.

Correction: This is pure speculation. The skyhook device was actual technology in use at the time of the movie. Obviously the rope used had elastic properties - like a bungee cord - to absorb the shock of accelerating from 0 to airplane speed.

It didn't help that Bond tangled the cord under his right armpit as he embraced Domino for the rescue lift. His arm would have been yanked out of its socket.

Correction: Bond tangled the rescue cord under his right armpit and then embraced Domino. His arm would have been pulled out of its socket as he was yanked out of the life raft without her.
