Corrected entry: In the end when Bond and Goodnight are sailing away, Nick Nak starts throwing wine bottles at them. Only problem is that the when the bottles smash, there is no wine that spills out. Who would store empty wine bottles in a wine rack? (01:56:00)

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Corrected entry: When Bond is taken to the karate class, one of the "students" is performing a kata, which is a sort of a "karate dance". In a kata one starts and finishes at the exact same place, but the one in the film starts the kata at the center of the platform, and finishes it the the right end of it. (00:52:05)
Correction: Character mistake - the karate student is doing the kata wrong. I have seen this happen with even experienced practitioners, sometimes people just mess up.

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Corrected entry: How did M know the phone number of Scaramanga's junk AND that Bond and Goodnight were aboard AND that Bond had completed his mission, at the end of the film?
Correction: The most obvious explanation is that Bond himself called in (while off-screen) to report his mission completed, but that for some reason he could not talk to M at the point. M is then simply returning his call on the phone number Bond left, to get a more detailed report.

Correction: Still, it is a character decision, and not necessarily a mistake. People throughout history have used staffage like this to decorate empty shelves. Charles Dickens, for one, had several fake books in his library that were nothing but covers without content.
