You left out my favorite, in Thunderball when Leiter and Bond land the helicopter in the water so Bond can dive on the wreck of the Vulcan bomber the Lieter character keeps switching between shorts and long pants. Great video, didn't know about some of these.
Very interesting list. 👍👍 One mistake I noticed in "The living Daylights" is the following: When General Georgi Koskov chases Bond and Kara in an off-road vehicle at the airport, he has an accident with a smaller plane, which ends in a huge explosion. Most likely, Koskov would not have survived this or he would have been severely burned. But in the next shot he's perfectly fine back in the vehicle and it's even drivable.
I never knew half of these great video 👍 I bet a lot of the details in the early ones were just ignored because they just thought people would watch in the cinema or vhs. They never predicted hd digital copies that can be infinitely examined lol. Its funny to see them now though
I have to be a bit nitpicky here, sorry for that. VHS and Betamax were both introduced in 1976, so at least for the early movies they could not have had that in mind. Also, picture quality was not that bad in cinemas, it's actually pretty much what we see now on Blu-Ray and hopefully soon, 4k Blu Ray. But of course, your main point was getting to pause and examine the picture over and over again - but I think, many people have noticed these mistakes even back in the 60s, especially the Sean Connery one in From Russia with love.
My favorite is from "Dr. No." We see a close-up of Bond putting a silencer on a pistol in anticipation of Professor Dent's visit. Problem is, that's NOT a Walther PPK. That's the BERETTA he supposedly surrendered at the beginning of the film.
@DutchBondFan -- I have to correct myself. I've just been told, by a fellow Bond fan, that that's not a Beretta. It's actually an FN ("Fabrique Nationale") model 1910. This makes it all the weirder. Did Bond go gun shopping in Jamaica? Did he say to himself "You know, for this mission I need a 50 year old Belgian automatic!"
I think Bond also says to his attacker: "That's a Smith & Wesson, and you've had your six (shots)." But the villain has an (Colt .45?) automatic. Add to that, practically all semi-autos lock back with the breach open after the last round; there's no way you would be pulling the trigger on an empty chamber.
@@Professor_Fate yes that is right, the gun is actually a "Browning Model 1910" and the manufacturer is Belgian arms factory called Fabrique Nationale . You can clearly see part of the FN script on the grip of the pistol as Bond puts the silencer on in the close up shots. This is the exact same model hand gun that was used to assassinate Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, an act that started the First World War in Europe. So why did Bond use the Browning 1910 FN gun and not the Walther? Well this was the first Bond movie and the prop Walther didn't have a silencer available, it was just a case of using a similar pistol from the prop dept that already had a silencer with the assumption that the audience would never notice the difference, now 50+ years later with the aid of DVD and freeze frame etc it is easy to pick up the detail.
The biggest one in YOLT is when they’re watching the supposed camera feed from the helicopter dropping the car into the sea. But the helicopter is in the footage, so it’s footage filmed from ANOTHER helicopter.
Of all of those the one that sort always bugged me the most was the Thunderball camera/watch switcheroo. Not sure why it bugs me. Maybe because its just so bad you have to ask: How didn't they catch that one
@@Mark-lj1dj "Thunderball" started life as a series of at least 12 different script-drafts. Ian Fleming turned it into a very coherent "novelization", whihc was the focus of the infamous lawsuit. Later, when the deal was struck to do the film, instead of following the novel, they began writing MORE script-drafts. It really was a case of "too many cooks", too many ideas, TOO MUCH "STUFF". The book really was the best version.
@@henrykujawa4427 thats really interesting. Other than the lawsuit i didn't know that. Luckily they got away with script problems because its a phenomenal bond film. Unlike quantum that definitely suffered because of script issues in my opinion. Thanks for the knowledge
@@Mark-lj1dj "THUNDERBALL" is always a film I WANT to like, but it gets in its own way. By comparison, "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE" flows very nicely, and is a stunning, gorgeous, amazing experience... it just doesn't make any sense, and gets worse on that score EACH tme I watch it. "TB", at least, makes sense (mostly). Crazy but true: I saw "TB" on ABC twice and could not remember the story. Then I read the book. OH MAN!! That was GREAT!! Wondered why I couldn't remember the movie. Then I watched it a 3rd time. Oh. I got it. I could SEE what the problems were. (MY Dad always said, if you ever plan to watch a film and read the book, see the film first, otherwise, you'll always be disappointed. Most of the time, he was right.) Crazy enough, "TB" was the film almost every producer trying to imitate Bond decided to imitate. And some people wonder why I love "OHMSS" so much. A rare case where (apart from the Bond-M relationship going totally off the rails) it got better every time I watched it. Lazenby was an IDIOT to walk away before it even hit theatres. He could have done whatever the hell he wanted... in between Bond films.
Another mistake during the underwater battle: Bond has his BLUE mask ripped off during a fight with Largo. He reaches down to a dead diver, removes his BLACK mask, and puts it on. Great save! But then, from then on, he still has a BLUE mask on. Poor continuity there. Surprised it's not mentioned, as it's rather obvious.
In 'The Living Daylights'. the Hercules plane Bond takes off in with all the opium and the bomb is a four engine plane. However, when Necros falls to his death after fighting with Bond on the cargo nets, the plane he falls out of has only two engines. John Glen, the director, mentioned this in the Director Commentary. I cannot remember the reason why they used a 2 engine plane for the Necros death scene, but it was unavoidable.
Also, one of the worst special effects (at least, say, after 1970?) is the view of the "ground" from the Hercules, is clearly just a paper mache "moonscape" that a couple guys are probably just holding up and moving around a bit. Once you notice it you can't unsee it.
Jordan Fan, Prophet of Environment, 范楚漳。環境先知:Denial Craig was selected as James Bond 007 for one & only obvious reason because he looks like the heroic action movie figure Scotsman actor Steve McQueen who was in the great epic movie,“The Great Escape”(from German Prison). This is the most serious “Miss,” “Ignore” or “Mistake made by most if not all James Bond reviewers or critics!!!
I'll let that one slide as if you're looking at the engines rather than Necros then the movie has bigger problems. It's like a magic trick. To me, the mistakes that matter are where the mistake is visible in the very place you're supposed to be looking.
My favorite is from Thunderball. When Bond meets Domino and he asked her to take him ashore because he had an appointment, when the two get off the boat a guy in blue trunks ran to the boat and turns it around. Then you see a head pop up from below the steering wheel of the boat. The guy was actually steering the boat.
I spent a lot of time watching the Bond movies to spot these mistakes. Especially the first movies are full of them. I love this one in From Russia with love that I found myself and never saw in any video or website. When Tatiana Romanova is going to meet Rosa Klebb and receive her assignment (the same scene that is famous for the hand closing the door from outside), you can clearly see two windows on left and right of the door. But when we see the room from inside there's no window next to the door.
Well spotted. Some 55! years ago my friend spotted a mistake in this film. On the Turkish train journey from Istanbul with Tatiana, where he fights the Robert Shaw character etc, there's a trackside shot of the train, steaming along, but it's clearly a British train with green livery !
In epic movies the most noticeable is when Heston Moses faced the Hebrews prior to their exodus. His staff is held interchangeably during front and back view. In the 1966 remake such mistake is not repeated in fact the 1966 Ten Commandments has more improvements than the 1956 Ten Commandments. There is back projection. Statues being drag in the opening scene are physical not matte painting. The blood in the transparent jug is magically seen in contrast to the opaque jug held by Brynner Rameses.The chariot korses are bigger and faster in the 1966 remake. The Pillar of Fire is realistic in contrast to the cartoonish fire in the 1956 version.In fact Heston Moses has his shadows in front when he faced the burning Bush. The shadows should have been on his back. Such 1956 mistake was not made in the 1966 remake. The camel munching on reddish fruits was improved on the 1966 remake by letting the camel bunch on violet grapes for more humor. The Nile scene was more spectacular as Aaron dip the staff and the blood oozed out towards the horizon . In the 1956 it was too slow and the blood was not so saturated or pure looking. John Carradine Aaron was seen in Crock eye perspective dipping the staff to the river but the 1866 remake improved it on back view of Aaron giving the viewers'' perspective as one of the spectators among the total throng. And most if all the parting if the Red Sea was realistic in the 1966 remake. The 1956 Red Sea scene was cartoonish. In the carving of the tablets the fires are realistic. In the hurling of the tablets Heston Moses throw the two tablets at once at the idol. In the 1966 remake Moses first throw the one tablet at the idol and it exploded. Then he throw the second tablet at the ground and it splits swallowing the reveled. That s more spectacular. But in general the Columbia 1966 Ten Commandments is a faithful remake of the Paramount original. Even the actor as Moses has his surname rhymes with HESTON. If you don't know fill up the blanks: Actor as Moses in the 1966 remake:. H....TON Please be careful to fill up the blanks. There are 4 spaces between H and TON. By the way 1966 Ten Commandments could no longer be seen as it was destroyed due to corporate greed. I suspect it was Paramount who destroyed it maybe by paying Columbia a substantial amount for the Master negatives and literally burned them. I saw that movie in 1968 and it was the first movie I have ever seen. When I saw the 1956 Ten Commandments during the rerelease in 1978 I was disappointed as to the " inferiority of the 1956 original compared to the Columbia 1966 remake. People will surely mixed up both movies as one. The music is the same . Line by line shots fade in a and fade outs. The dialogues are the same. But all actors in the 1956 didn't reprise their roles in the 1966 remake especially Fraser Heston as Infant Moses as he will be ten years old in 1966. It amazed me as people forget the Ten Commandments remake by Columbia. Even books about films didn't mention about the 1966 version . TH-cam didn't know about it. Milleneals have no idea about it. It's totally forgotten. It's a shame people can state that they knot about dinosaurs 65 million years ago but cannot recall the 1966 Ten Commandments.How odd !
Great Video. The only ones that I knew about are Dr. No ( funny thing is I learned about this mistake from one of your older videos), Thunderball, TMWTGG, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall. Also, Diamonds Are Forever biggest mistake was filming the movie in the first place
Wow! I actually didn't know any of these. Besides the green screen car scenes, those are obvious, but they fit well in old 60's movies. But like the speedometer not moving? I would've never noticed something like that. I honestly never noticed any of these mistakes, that's crazy.
They didnt use the green/blue screen method, but actually the exact opposite technique, the rear projection. Although the rear projection was state of the art for car scenes at that time, none of these scenes in any movie aged very well
In Live and Let Die the end shot of Mrs Bell is exactly the same shot of the first time we meet her, a little editor's trick that results in the continuity fluff
Awesome video! This one is probably my favorite from your “one from every movie” series so far. I was in the theater the other day watching dr.no and for the first time i noticed that the guy’s voice was loud on the boat even without the speaker and then a few days later you made a video on it lol. I knew a lot of these (mostly from watching your other videos) but then i also learned a lot of them from this. One more mistake that you’re probably already aware of that wasn’t in this video is that in Casino Royale at the end of the movie Bond says that his password is Vesper but earlier in the Casino he enters something completely different.
Same here! How do they discover all these mistakes? Watch all movies in slow-mo? The only mistakes I've discovered by myself are: 1 - the car scene where you see Goldfinger in the backseat and in the next scene he's gone. You can see that in this video. 2 - the planes releasing that poison around Fort Knox so all people will fall down. They fall down too fast after the release of the poison. I mean, the planes are high up in the air, it should take longer time for the poison to reach the ground and the people. And when the poison reach the people it should also take a bit longer for them to fall down. But it's "family entertainment" so it's not a big deal :) and it's "Bond science" :) 3 - when they crush that car into a small cube of garbage. You know what scene I'm talking about? Still bone dry. Should not be possible because there's a lot of oil and petrol in a car. And next thing is that it should not be possible to create such small cube from a car. As always - it's "family entertainment" :) I have no problems with all or almost all of these movie mistakes. My fav movies are the ones with Roger Moore as 007. So great balance between action, drama and humor. The movies with Daniel Craig are the most impressive based on action and how they filmed and edited everything. But I don't like any of these 5 (?) movies. The "James Bond feeling" is gone. These movies could be any random high-budget action movie. And I just see these movies as "raw action movies". There's no longer any "Oddjob" or "Jaws", if you understand what I mean? And the "family entertainment" is totally gone. Daniel Craig is too much of a "muscle man" and not that "gentleman" that we're used to. And the list goes on and on. The ONLY reason why I've watched the Daniel Craig movies is that "it's Bond movies", I mean, it's about what they've built up with the actors like Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan - that great family entertainment. That family entertainment is totally gone now with Daniel Craig. So I hope that the next movies will return to focus on family entertainment with a new actor. One more thing: I don't even like the new Q. So what's the big sign that this is my opinion that I don't like the Daniel Craig movies? It's about when I re-watch Bond movies. I always watch the movies with the other actors. And there's a few really really beautiful/pretty/stunning Bond girls! The one in The Spy Who Loved Me is one of those. I cannot even remember the "Bond girls" from the Daniel Craig movies. It doesn't bother me that I don't like the Daniel Craig movies. I can always re-watch the older amazing movies! Long comment :) but I got a big passion for the Bond movies so that's why :)
I think the movie producers know the average theatre punter wouldn’t remember or notice rigging or props in action scenes. I have seen most of the Bond films but don’t recall anything really obvious but I have seen the movies a couple of times anyway. and not over and over. I suspect many movies have similar errors but it would be expensive to reshoot it all again. I wonder if they show the scenes to a normal person to see if the faults are noticable? Bit like I complete documentation for software then I ask a novice to read it and comment on it.
Thunderball contains a mistake when Bond is shot in the calf while trying to get away form the bad guys at a carnival. Yet the very next day he goes diving with sharks to view the submerged Vulcan bomber, and lacks even a band aid on his bullet wound.
In the FRWL helicopter chase scene,there are several mistakes. The flower truck is halted by an explosion which takes out one of its headlights and blackens the paintwork - but when you see it again,the paintwork is clean and the headlight is back in place. After the helicopter explodes and falls out of the sky, you can clearly see the cable that's lowering the helicopter 'miniature'.
@@alexanderjames6328 Don't worry; I have no bubbles to burst when it comes to Hollywood movie gaffes :) There's that famous scene in the 1960 Ben Hur with the fuel canister in the chariot; Dorothy changing her shoes in Wizard of Oz; and even Hitchcock got it wrong when he failed to notice the little kid in the restaurant, in North by Northwest! It's important to bear in mind that these things are way easier to spot when we watch them over and over on Blu-ray. Back in the day,in the cinema, they would probably have passed us by
@@iansmith4023 Not a blunder, but a pretty tacky special effect also in NBNW, is the crop sprayer plane hitting the petrol tanker and exploding... it's a model plane running down wires into a model truck. And the car leaves the restaurant but, by the time it's in the woods, it's become a different model. These movies worked fine in the cinema---now, as we slo-mo analyse them on our domestic screens, we (unsurprisingly) spot these clunkers.
5:32 in this scene, there was also moment when we can see Bond flying the plane into the hangar but when the camera positions itself as if you are looking through the hangar at a Bond plane in flight, however instead of this small Q gadget, you can see a larger, two-engine jet for businessmen (possibly a Learjet or an Embraer) there.
Great list. Two mistakes which came instantly into my mind. Octopussy the guy with the circular saw blade broke both of his hands during the filming. After that he wore bandages on both hands/arms you can see it in the scene when Octopussy and Bond were attacked with the blade from above laying in the bed. In FRWL the scene when Klebb walks through the training ground. When they get to the end of the training ground the same scene is shown again filmed from behind when the enter the training ground. So many more. Side note. In the Octopussy opener the jet was on a pole which was attached to a Jaguar driving through the hangar.
In SKYFALL, the scene where Money Penny shaves 007 with a straight razor, Daniel's scar keeps changing length and shape. You'd think they'd just make one "stick-on" and use it through out. The scene is one of my favorites (being an old dog with hopefully some new tricks) but the scar drives me nuts. In general, I don't get why movie makers are so careless.
Also in Thunderball when Bond is coming out of Largo's Palmyra basement after finding his helper dead, the cellar door is opened and visibly bangs to a stop, but very conveniently for our hero it makes absolutely no noise what so ever! Makes me laugh just thinking about it now. :D
Another mistake in Quantum of Solace is in the opening... Bond closes Casino Royale in a 3-piece Brioni suit, but when we see him in the first scene in Quantum (said to take place mere minutes after the ending of Casino), he is wearing a two-piece Tom Ford suit...
Didn't you know? Some of us went to Damsel in Distress School. We learned how to switch our heels to sneakers in the blink of an eye. And how to rip the hems off of our dresses and sleeves while fleeing, so we can make moves like Gail Sayers.
Another really good video. I like most of the Bond TH-cam channels like the Bond experience and being James Bond, but this one is my favourite. I think your ideas are better and your videos are not too long like the other channels can be, meaning its just quality and the video doesn't drag on.
Brilliant idea! Here's one for DutchBondFan to start off with... 'Moonraker', at the start, when the shuttle takes off whilst it is being transported on top of the Boeing 747 plane. Why does it have fuel onboard to fly? If it was being transported, surely it would make sense for it to be empty, and thus lighter and less expensive to transport! This has always bugged me.
Since I'm Scottish my big question is whether Bond is too. The films and books contradict themselves on this, often calling him English. As I understand it, he's half-Swiss French, half-Scottish... and you hear about his Scottish background in Skyfall.... but he never gets called Scottish!
In Thunderball, the hotel desk is immediately through the hotel doors, where the clerk says "Sorry, no mail". Bond walks to the right of the screen away from the front desk. The scene cuts to Bond walking into the desk FROM THE LEFT. Did Bond walk in a circle?
Nice video. My comment to the errors: In "Goldfinger" (1964), at the last part of the film, after fort knox is bombed to get all personnel asleep, Goldfinger's crew go in a group of military (Chevy like) trucks escorted by jeeps (One jeep is seen always ahead of the trucks). That trucks changes model until they arrived to fort knox. You can see clearly one International model, but suddenly it disappears (it becomes a Chevy like model again) and reappears in the front of the fences of fort knox. The other vehicle that disappears is the jeep "leader". You can see a shot taken from behind the fence of fort knox and you see the first truck (now International again), but the jeep ahead of it is gone.
Ironically Christoph Waltz was born in 1956, ten years after his characters 1956 DOB, so strange the filmmakers goofed that up. Great Video Dutch and wow, I never saw that FYEO mistake with the studio rigging before a Acostas falls off the cliff.
Aaaaaaaaahhhhh aahhhhhhhh XD This is the best one: Famke-Terry and Rsamund are much more sexy than the their rivals and Sophie Marceau is the most beautifull woman in the world so no contest with whatsoever Bondgirl.
Best explanation for vanishing Goldfinger? Odd-Job is so under-appreciated for his proficiency! If you know how to make the boss disappear, you're going to bend to that temptation from time to time. Naw, maybe it's a precursor to the invisible car technology in D. A. D. They can't make the whole car vanish, yet, but they can create the illusion that the VIP you're driving around isn't really aboard.
Great video! Good stuff as always. I especially like the discussions from the older moves. The rear projection mistakes are always hilarious, and I never noticed Sean Connery's disappearing tie in Dr. No! I have an idea for a future video: How about the top 10 escapes in James Bond movies. These could be escapes by any character in the film (obviously, Bond would be involved in most of the escapes, but they don't have to involve him). They have to be successful escapes and there has to be something unique about them. The length of the scene does not matter as long as it is memorable. Pre-title sequences do not count because you have already made a video on the best of those. My list of the top 10 escapes would start like this: 10. Silva escapes form MI6 prison in "Skyfall." This is a very cool sequence from MI6 to the subway to the streets of London to Parliament. Really elaborate and exciting stuff. The only reason it ranks so low on the list is because it is completely absurd that Silva could have set it all up ahead of time (unless he is clairvoyant). 9. Bond escaping Largo's mansion and his sharks in "Thunderball." Starting with Bond infiltrating Largo's island mansion during a power outage, continuing with evading Largo's men while running on rooftops, and concluding in the fight in the covered shark pool. Classic exciting stuff. 8. Necros infiltrating and escaping from MI6 safehouse in "The Living Daylights." The explosions, the stunts, the music, the elaborate escape, it's all great and really sets up Necros as a smart, tough henchman. 7. Bond escapes from Kriegler and Locque and other henchman on skies during a biathlon in "For Your Eyes Only." I have always enjoyed this whole sequence. The music just works so well. Even the times when the music is not playing works so well. The tension builds throughout the whole snow chase. I love the part where Bond realizes he had to do a long jump to escape and more henchman come out of nowhere to stop him. And it culminates with Kriegler throwing his motorcycle. It's great! I'll tell you the rest of my list if you tell me yours. What do you say? Will you make the video?
I have 2: In GoldenEye when Wade shows up in Cuba, he tells Bond to be careful and that "He knows you're coming." Assuming Trevelyan is the one being referred to, how would he know? As far as he's aware, Bond was killed in the train explosion he had rigged to blow up. In TWINE when Valentin introduces himself to Elektra, Bond humorously says " Nothing stays free from you, Zukovsky." There's a bit of an audio gaffe because Brosnan's mouth says not the man's last name but his first.
There was an understandable continuity error with Bond's parachute in the teaser sequence in "The Living Daylights". After Bond bails out of the Jeep after it careens off the cliff-hugging road towards the sea and watches it (with the assassin still trapped inside) blow up just ahead of him while they fall, Bond's parachute catches some flak and fire and sports some holes and scorch marks... but as he falls towards the yacht, his parachute is again pristine. I consider us viewers as lucky to have been shown a damaged chute in an insert shot.
Helicopter scene: the fire of the exploding copter comes from out of the building. It amuses me to no end also the cars , planes and copters in many films run out of gas, Pilot jumps off, then vehicle explodes. what is exploding?
What was really terrible was the model of doctor No HQ, with a little model boat. Also bad is the statue hit by Oddjob, you can see a cut on the throat before being hit.
Good stuff. If you have not watched The Rock yet, you are in for a treat. Lots of zingers and ample opportunity for Connery to pull 007 style. I have seen it at least 4 times. I have been a Bond fan since BEFORE Dr No was released.
A lot of what might be considered mistakes are simply decisions by the producers/ directors to leave in something that most won't see because of financial or time restraints .
The birthdate of Blofeld makes no sense. It’s 10 years off of Waltz birth year. He’s born in 1956 not 46. It still wouldn’t make sense even if they used his real age, but that’s what they get for making Blofeld related to Bond in some fashion. If they had just never done that it wouldn’t be an issue at all. They should’ve either made Obenhouser his OWN unique villain and left Blofeld out of it, or made Blofeld the one who caused Bonds parents death. Don’t make them step brothers and have Blofeld have daddy issues. 100% stupid. If he was just Obenhouser only the brothers storyline COULD have worked.
But Blofeld’s birthday might be different to Oberhauser’s. I mean Franz “died”, so Blofelds records could be fake data. Still a weird year to use though.
I noticed the megaphone and helicopter errors (helicopter picked forward but not moving), plus the car riding on the right only, then the left only, tires while watching the films. Never noticed the others.
I have seen all JB movies several times but I never look for mistakes especially when they last for less than a second. I prefer to enjoy them as they are.
According to no time to die, Vespa is 21 during casino royal. This means she’s barley graduated university before getting a job at the treasury and has somehow been honey-potted right out of the classroom
I noticed you had the acrostar jet from Octopussy listed. One thing that always bothered me about the opening scene was continuity around the hangar Bond flies through. You don't even have to stop and rewind to notice it, but when you do, it all becomes very noticeable. In every scene showing the hangar, look at the trucks and other equipment around it. Look at it from both sides. When the hangar is exploding, none of that stuff is either around, or it is in the wrong position. In other words, the model doesn't match up with the live action sequences.
The most noticeable mistake in The Spy Who Loved Me was when Bond was on the beach emerging with the Lotus and He opens down the car window to take a fish out of the car. How is that possible if the car is completely sealed?
Well, a fish can still stay alive for a bit, out of the water in a sealed car. When he opened the window, the car is no longer sealed and the fish returned to its natural environment. Unless you're asking how the fish got there in the first place. Well, maybe the woman he went with the night before, wasn't so happy with the 'licence to womanise' guy, and stuck a fish in his fancy car.
Having seen From Russia With Love many times over decades . It was only two years ago that I noticed the stunt double changeover after the helicopter blew up. I had to slow down the clip to look at it again and realised it was so glaringly obvious I couldn't understand how I had missed it in previous viewings. Incidentally, it is one of the best in my view as far as plot and being faithful to the book is concerned. It also features two of the best villains of Klebb and Grant played by Lotte Lenya and Robert Shaw who both played their roles with the coldness and ruthlessness their characters demanded.
Robert Shaw was a great actor. Both in the movie From Russia with love and Battle of the Bulge, Robert Shaw portrayed as Red Grant and Oberst Martin Hessler performed so well that he was applauded more than the Heroes.
In "DR. NO", the guy with the megaphone, doesn't actually have it turned on. That's his regular speaking voice (heehee). His men nick-named him "Big Blowhard". Not long ago, I used duct tape to hold on my car's front bumper when somone knocked it loose, until I could have it replaced. There's still traces of glue from the duct tape on the fenders. (grrrr) The year before "GOLDEN GUN", Bruce Lee fought the main villain in "ENTER THE DRAGON" in an entire MAZE full of mirrors, and, miraculously, you never once saw the camera! Heck of a thing when a relatively low-budget "kung fu" film is better-made ON EVERY LEVEL than the Bond films from that same era. But the biggest movie mistake of all time: Ian Fleming SELLING the rights to "Casino Royale" in 1954, instead of merely LICENSING them. This compounded when Charles K. Feldman decided to do his own version in 1967. I'm hard-pressed to think of ANYTHING at all in that movie that wasn't a "mistake". Best to just pretend it never happened.
Too many comments to check if the following mistake has been mentioned yet: the biggest mistake that I have encountered yet is in the movie „you only live twice“, where Bond can watch in the monitor that is in the backseat of their car the helicopter tropping the gangsterˋs car (carried by a huge magnet) over the sea. I do not think the japanese secret service had a satellite filming it. 😉
I knew about some of these but not all of them. I honestly think movie mistake are great and funny sometimes. Because you never actually notice untill you see a video or someone tells you 😂❤️❤️🔥🔥
My fave for many decades was the most obvious one in Thunderball, which you show a brief frame located at 10:14 , James Bond (Sean Connery) in the underwater fight scenes changes his scuba diver mask colour blue to black or was it black to blue (LOL) when the badee rips off his mask.
The first one I noticed was in Dr. No. I actually noticed this when I saw the movie at 12 years old when it was first released. If you look at the scene in the airport, you will notice that Bond is being chased by a Chevy Impala. Look closely at the roofline. When the car passes them after they turn off, it is a different car entirely, but the same color.
LALD - During the Bayou boat chase, the boat with a goon is empty before it explodes. QOS - Bond mentions the name of Dominic Greene before he is told the name.
I spotted the car in Diamonds are Forever the very first time I watched it. When they released the Bond movies on DVD they changed the scene. Like you said,they added the extra car scene where it flips onto the other wheels before the Mach 1 car exits. Think this was the worse blooper in a bond movie imo
GoldenEye also features the inflatable dummies of Bond and Natalya in the Helicopter for a split second at 6:32-6:33 Also another mistakes in GoldenEye is in the Severnaya facility. When Xenia and Ouromov arrives, Natalya is depicted as being in the room on the entrance side of the facility watching the GoldenEye key being taken out by the soldier, when it is very clear that the kitchen where she is seen later is actually on the other side and the control room is not visible from inside the kitchen. Its very clear since we see Xenia head in that direction when searching for Natalya and we can see the stairs and the slight turn to the left to get into the kitchen
I also remember specifically noticing an obvious dummy in a car in the background of the tank scene as evident by the dummy like rocking of the head in retaliation to being hit
In "On her Majesties Secret Service" in Gumbold's office, the manufacturer's sign can be seen on the top left of the door of the safe. In the close-up it has disappeared. It is a premium safe that also has a key lock further down, hidden behind a flap. . It's amazing that Bond can only open the safe with the combination lock and ignoring the second lock.
Thx a lot DBF, I love this stuff, hopefully you can continue to tnex episode since a lot of goof mistake in bond movies. Btw, you can share important trivia in every bond mivies on the your next video...once again huge thx
My favorite is the megaphone bit in Dr. No, makes me laugh every time 😄
I always thought Sean Connerys wig in Diamonds Are Forever was the worst mistake.... 🤣🤣
It looks like it was added on with crayon after filming.
Sean Connery wanted to play Bond as bald, to show its the same Bond as before but older. He settled for greying hair instead.
.. but it wasn't quite as bad as his wig in Never Say Never Again
@@ebor8402 Bold Bond ))
He blended in quite well with the hair most people had in the 1970s. It was a decade where anything was possible with hair but really shouldn't.
You left out my favorite, in Thunderball when Leiter and Bond land the helicopter in the water so Bond can dive on the wreck of the Vulcan bomber the Lieter character keeps switching between shorts and long pants. Great video, didn't know about some of these.
Very interesting list. 👍👍
One mistake I noticed in "The living Daylights" is the following: When General Georgi Koskov chases Bond and Kara in an off-road vehicle at the airport, he has an accident with a smaller plane, which ends in a huge explosion. Most likely, Koskov would not have survived this or he would have been severely burned. But in the next shot he's perfectly fine back in the vehicle and it's even drivable.
When I first saw the movie, I was barely 16 and even I thought "BS, no way he could escape that without half his face being burnt off."
I never knew half of these great video 👍 I bet a lot of the details in the early ones were just ignored because they just thought people would watch in the cinema or vhs. They never predicted hd digital copies that can be infinitely examined lol. Its funny to see them now though
In the 60s im sure they didn't even imagine that common folk can pause movie on their home TV
I have to be a bit nitpicky here, sorry for that. VHS and Betamax were both introduced in 1976, so at least for the early movies they could not have had that in mind. Also, picture quality was not that bad in cinemas, it's actually pretty much what we see now on Blu-Ray and hopefully soon, 4k Blu Ray. But of course, your main point was getting to pause and examine the picture over and over again - but I think, many people have noticed these mistakes even back in the 60s, especially the Sean Connery one in From Russia with love.
My favorite is from "Dr. No." We see a close-up of Bond putting a silencer on a pistol in anticipation of Professor Dent's visit. Problem is, that's NOT a Walther PPK. That's the BERETTA he supposedly surrendered at the beginning of the film.
@DutchBondFan -- I have to correct myself. I've just been told, by a fellow Bond fan, that that's not a Beretta. It's actually an FN ("Fabrique Nationale") model 1910. This makes it all the weirder. Did Bond go gun shopping in Jamaica? Did he say to himself "You know, for this mission I need a 50 year old Belgian automatic!"
I was never sure about it but suspected it. But that was clearly a Beretta emblem at the top of the grip. Thanks for confirming!
I think Bond also says to his attacker: "That's a Smith & Wesson, and you've had your six (shots)." But the villain has an (Colt .45?) automatic. Add to that, practically all semi-autos lock back with the breach open after the last round; there's no way you would be pulling the trigger on an empty chamber.
@@donaldwolpert6356 Hi Donald, you can see the top half of the "FN" engraved script written on the grip.
@@Professor_Fate yes that is right, the gun is actually a "Browning Model 1910" and the manufacturer is Belgian arms factory called Fabrique Nationale . You can clearly see part of the FN script on the grip of the pistol as Bond puts the silencer on in the close up shots. This is the exact same model hand gun that was used to assassinate Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, an act that started the First World War in Europe. So why did Bond use the Browning 1910 FN gun and not the Walther? Well this was the first Bond movie and the prop Walther didn't have a silencer available, it was just a case of using a similar pistol from the prop dept that already had a silencer with the assumption that the audience would never notice the difference, now 50+ years later with the aid of DVD and freeze frame etc it is easy to pick up the detail.
In the Q debriefing scene in Thunderball, the audio has Q saying, "Right, now pay attention" but Desmond Llewelyn's lips aren't moving onscreen.
The biggest one in YOLT is when they’re watching the supposed camera feed from the helicopter dropping the car into the sea. But the helicopter is in the footage, so it’s footage filmed from ANOTHER helicopter.
I noticed that.
Yup, always bugged me.
Of all of those the one that sort always bugged me the most was the Thunderball camera/watch switcheroo. Not sure why it bugs me. Maybe because its just so bad you have to ask: How didn't they catch that one
I know I'm the same. Its not just a split second on screen or some minor continuity error its just basic script writing.
@@Mark-lj1dj "Thunderball" started life as a series of at least 12 different script-drafts. Ian Fleming turned it into a very coherent "novelization", whihc was the focus of the infamous lawsuit. Later, when the deal was struck to do the film, instead of following the novel, they began writing MORE script-drafts. It really was a case of "too many cooks", too many ideas, TOO MUCH "STUFF". The book really was the best version.
@@henrykujawa4427 thats really interesting. Other than the lawsuit i didn't know that. Luckily they got away with script problems because its a phenomenal bond film. Unlike quantum that definitely suffered because of script issues in my opinion. Thanks for the knowledge
@@Mark-lj1dj "THUNDERBALL" is always a film I WANT to like, but it gets in its own way. By comparison, "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE" flows very nicely, and is a stunning, gorgeous, amazing experience... it just doesn't make any sense, and gets worse on that score EACH tme I watch it. "TB", at least, makes sense (mostly).
Crazy but true: I saw "TB" on ABC twice and could not remember the story. Then I read the book. OH MAN!! That was GREAT!! Wondered why I couldn't remember the movie. Then I watched it a 3rd time. Oh. I got it. I could SEE what the problems were. (MY Dad always said, if you ever plan to watch a film and read the book, see the film first, otherwise, you'll always be disappointed. Most of the time, he was right.) Crazy enough, "TB" was the film almost every producer trying to imitate Bond decided to imitate.
And some people wonder why I love "OHMSS" so much. A rare case where (apart from the Bond-M relationship going totally off the rails) it got better every time I watched it. Lazenby was an IDIOT to walk away before it even hit theatres. He could have done whatever the hell he wanted... in between Bond films.
Another mistake during the underwater battle: Bond has his BLUE mask ripped off during a fight with Largo. He reaches down to a dead diver, removes his BLACK mask, and puts it on. Great save! But then, from then on, he still has a BLUE mask on. Poor continuity there. Surprised it's not mentioned, as it's rather obvious.
In 'The Living Daylights'. the Hercules plane Bond takes off in with all the opium and the bomb is a four engine plane. However, when Necros falls to his death after fighting with Bond on the cargo nets, the plane he falls out of has only two engines.
John Glen, the director, mentioned this in the Director Commentary. I cannot remember the reason why they used a 2 engine plane for the Necros death scene, but it was unavoidable.
Never noticed that. A C-130 hercules initially but a C-123 provider for that part. Great catch. Ill have to watch that again.
Also, one of the worst special effects (at least, say, after 1970?) is the view of the "ground" from the Hercules, is clearly just a paper mache "moonscape" that a couple guys are probably just holding up and moving around a bit. Once you notice it you can't unsee it.
Jordan Fan, Prophet of Environment, 范楚漳。環境先知:Denial Craig was selected as James Bond 007 for one & only obvious reason because he looks like the heroic action movie figure Scotsman actor Steve McQueen who was in the great epic movie,“The Great Escape”(from German Prison). This is the most serious “Miss,” “Ignore” or “Mistake made by most if not all James Bond reviewers or critics!!!
I'll let that one slide as if you're looking at the engines rather than Necros then the movie has bigger problems. It's like a magic trick. To me, the mistakes that matter are where the mistake is visible in the very place you're supposed to be looking.
My favorite is from Thunderball. When Bond meets Domino and he asked her to take him ashore because he had an appointment, when the two get off the boat a guy in blue trunks ran to the boat and turns it around. Then you see a head pop up from below the steering wheel of the boat. The guy was actually steering the boat.
Look out for the random moon buggy wheel running across the screen in the chase in Diamonds.
I spent a lot of time watching the Bond movies to spot these mistakes. Especially the first movies are full of them. I love this one in From Russia with love that I found myself and never saw in any video or website. When Tatiana Romanova is going to meet Rosa Klebb and receive her assignment (the same scene that is famous for the hand closing the door from outside), you can clearly see two windows on left and right of the door. But when we see the room from inside there's no window next to the door.
Great find!!
I watch them to enjoy them, not to pat myself on the back for spotting errors.
Why aren't you a movie editor? You'd make a fortune finding these boo boos.
Well spotted. Some 55! years ago my friend spotted a mistake in this film. On the Turkish train journey from Istanbul with Tatiana, where he fights the Robert Shaw character etc, there's a trackside shot of the train, steaming along, but it's clearly a British train with green livery !
In epic movies the most noticeable is when Heston Moses faced the Hebrews prior to their exodus. His staff is held interchangeably during front and back view.
In the 1966 remake such mistake is not repeated in fact the 1966 Ten Commandments has more improvements than the 1956 Ten Commandments.
There is back projection. Statues being drag in the opening scene are physical not matte painting. The blood in the transparent jug is magically seen in contrast to the opaque jug held by Brynner Rameses.The chariot korses are bigger and faster in the 1966 remake. The Pillar of Fire is realistic in contrast to the cartoonish fire in the 1956 version.In fact Heston Moses has his shadows in front when he faced the burning Bush. The shadows should have been on his back. Such 1956 mistake was not made in the 1966 remake. The camel munching on reddish fruits was improved on the 1966 remake by letting the camel bunch on violet grapes for more humor. The Nile scene was more spectacular as Aaron dip the staff and the blood oozed out towards the horizon . In the 1956 it was too slow and the blood was not so saturated or pure looking. John Carradine Aaron was seen in Crock eye perspective dipping the staff to the river but the 1866 remake improved it on back view of Aaron giving the viewers'' perspective as one of the spectators among the total throng. And most if all the parting if the Red Sea was realistic in the 1966 remake. The 1956 Red Sea scene was cartoonish. In the carving of the tablets the fires are realistic. In the hurling of the tablets Heston Moses throw the two tablets at once at the idol. In the 1966 remake Moses first throw the one tablet at the idol and it exploded. Then he throw the second tablet at the ground and it splits swallowing the reveled. That s more spectacular. But in general the Columbia 1966 Ten Commandments is a faithful remake of the Paramount original. Even the actor as Moses has his surname rhymes with HESTON.
If you don't know fill up the blanks:
Actor as Moses in the 1966 remake:.
H....TON
Please be careful to fill up the blanks. There are 4 spaces between H and TON.
By the way 1966 Ten Commandments could no longer be seen as it was destroyed due to corporate greed. I suspect it was Paramount who destroyed it maybe by paying Columbia a substantial amount for the Master negatives and literally burned them. I saw that movie in 1968 and it was the first movie I have ever seen. When I saw the 1956 Ten Commandments during the rerelease in 1978 I was disappointed as to the " inferiority of the 1956 original compared to the Columbia 1966 remake. People will surely mixed up both movies as one. The music is the same . Line by line shots fade in a and fade outs. The dialogues are the same. But all actors in the 1956 didn't reprise their roles in the 1966 remake especially Fraser Heston as Infant Moses as he will be ten years old in 1966.
It amazed me as people forget the Ten Commandments remake by Columbia. Even books about films didn't mention about the 1966 version . TH-cam didn't know about it. Milleneals have no idea about it. It's totally forgotten. It's a shame people can state that they knot about dinosaurs 65 million years ago but cannot recall the 1966 Ten Commandments.How odd !
The guy sweeping the air was hilarious.
Great Video. The only ones that I knew about are Dr. No ( funny thing is I learned about this mistake from one of your older videos), Thunderball, TMWTGG, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall.
Also, Diamonds Are Forever biggest mistake was filming the movie in the first place
Wow! I actually didn't know any of these. Besides the green screen car scenes, those are obvious, but they fit well in old 60's movies. But like the speedometer not moving? I would've never noticed something like that. I honestly never noticed any of these mistakes, that's crazy.
They didnt use the green/blue screen method, but actually the exact opposite technique, the rear projection.
Although the rear projection was state of the art for car scenes at that time, none of these scenes in any movie aged very well
In Live and Let Die the end shot of Mrs Bell is exactly the same shot of the first time we meet her, a little editor's trick that results in the continuity fluff
Good job getting to the material without a 2-minute-long opening sequence. Enjoyed the video.
Awesome video! This one is probably my favorite from your “one from every movie” series so far. I was in the theater the other day watching dr.no and for the first time i noticed that the guy’s voice was loud on the boat even without the speaker and then a few days later you made a video on it lol. I knew a lot of these (mostly from watching your other videos) but then i also learned a lot of them from this. One more mistake that you’re probably already aware of that wasn’t in this video is that in Casino Royale at the end of the movie Bond says that his password is Vesper but earlier in the Casino he enters something completely different.
I've seen every Bond film so many times, can't believe i didn't notice most of these? Very cool video!
Same here! How do they discover all these mistakes? Watch all movies in slow-mo?
The only mistakes I've discovered by myself are:
1 - the car scene where you see Goldfinger in the backseat and in the next scene he's gone. You can see that in this video.
2 - the planes releasing that poison around Fort Knox so all people will fall down. They fall down too fast after the release of the poison. I mean, the planes are high up in the air, it should take longer time for the poison to reach the ground and the people. And when the poison reach the people it should also take a bit longer for them to fall down. But it's "family entertainment" so it's not a big deal :) and it's "Bond science" :)
3 - when they crush that car into a small cube of garbage. You know what scene I'm talking about? Still bone dry. Should not be possible because there's a lot of oil and petrol in a car. And next thing is that it should not be possible to create such small cube from a car. As always - it's "family entertainment" :)
I have no problems with all or almost all of these movie mistakes. My fav movies are the ones with Roger Moore as 007. So great balance between action, drama and humor.
The movies with Daniel Craig are the most impressive based on action and how they filmed and edited everything. But I don't like any of these 5 (?) movies. The "James Bond feeling" is gone. These movies could be any random high-budget action movie. And I just see these movies as "raw action movies". There's no longer any "Oddjob" or "Jaws", if you understand what I mean? And the "family entertainment" is totally gone. Daniel Craig is too much of a "muscle man" and not that "gentleman" that we're used to. And the list goes on and on. The ONLY reason why I've watched the Daniel Craig movies is that "it's Bond movies", I mean, it's about what they've built up with the actors like Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan - that great family entertainment. That family entertainment is totally gone now with Daniel Craig. So I hope that the next movies will return to focus on family entertainment with a new actor. One more thing: I don't even like the new Q.
So what's the big sign that this is my opinion that I don't like the Daniel Craig movies? It's about when I re-watch Bond movies. I always watch the movies with the other actors.
And there's a few really really beautiful/pretty/stunning Bond girls! The one in The Spy Who Loved Me is one of those. I cannot even remember the "Bond girls" from the Daniel Craig movies.
It doesn't bother me that I don't like the Daniel Craig movies. I can always re-watch the older amazing movies!
Long comment :) but I got a big passion for the Bond movies so that's why :)
I think the movie producers know the average theatre punter wouldn’t remember or notice rigging or props in action scenes. I have seen most of the Bond films but don’t recall anything really obvious but I have seen the movies a couple of times anyway. and not over and over. I suspect many movies have similar errors but it would be expensive to reshoot it all again.
I wonder if they show the scenes to a normal person to see if the faults are noticable?
Bit like I complete documentation for software then I ask a novice to read it and comment on it.
Every Bond movie has one biggest mistake which is main Villain always don't shot him on the spot.
Thunderball contains a mistake when Bond is shot in the calf while trying to get away form the bad guys at a carnival. Yet the very next day he goes diving with sharks to view the submerged Vulcan bomber, and lacks even a band aid on his bullet wound.
4:30 this could still be deadly for Stromberg, what really gets me is the PPK jams, but the camera cuts away quickly
In the FRWL helicopter chase scene,there are several mistakes. The flower truck is halted by an explosion which takes out one of its headlights and blackens the paintwork - but when you see it again,the paintwork is clean and the headlight is back in place. After the helicopter explodes and falls out of the sky, you can clearly see the cable that's lowering the helicopter 'miniature'.
American movies make mistakes too, sorry to burst your bubble.
@@alexanderjames6328 Don't worry; I have no bubbles to burst when it comes to Hollywood movie gaffes :)
There's that famous scene in the 1960 Ben Hur with the fuel canister in the chariot; Dorothy changing her shoes in Wizard of Oz; and even Hitchcock got it wrong when he failed to notice the little kid in the restaurant, in North by Northwest!
It's important to bear in mind that these things are way easier to spot when we watch them over and over on Blu-ray. Back in the day,in the cinema, they would probably have passed us by
@@iansmith4023 Not a blunder, but a pretty tacky special effect also in NBNW, is the crop sprayer plane hitting the petrol tanker and exploding... it's a model plane running down wires into a model truck. And the car leaves the restaurant but, by the time it's in the woods, it's become a different model. These movies worked fine in the cinema---now, as we slo-mo analyse them on our domestic screens, we (unsurprisingly) spot these clunkers.
5:32 in this scene, there was also moment when we can see Bond flying the plane into the hangar but when the camera positions itself as if you are looking through the hangar at a Bond plane in flight, however instead of this small Q gadget, you can see a larger, two-engine jet for businessmen (possibly a Learjet or an Embraer) there.
Great video. I’m a hardcore Bond fan but did not know some of these. Well done on coming up with such original content!
You really picked up some things I never noticed. Great video.
Great list. Two mistakes which came instantly into my mind.
Octopussy the guy with the circular saw blade broke both of his hands during the filming. After that he wore bandages on both hands/arms you can see it in the scene when Octopussy and Bond were attacked with the blade from above laying in the bed. In FRWL the scene when Klebb walks through the training ground. When they get to the end of the training ground the same scene is shown again filmed from behind when the enter the training ground. So many more.
Side note. In the Octopussy opener the jet was on a pole which was attached to a Jaguar driving through the hangar.
In SKYFALL, the scene where Money Penny shaves 007 with a straight razor, Daniel's scar keeps changing length and shape. You'd think they'd just make one "stick-on" and use it through out. The scene is one of my favorites (being an old dog with hopefully some new tricks) but the scar drives me nuts. In general, I don't get why movie makers are so careless.
Do you have ANY idea how a Filmset works? Because you are very disrespectfull towards everyone making movies.
Also in Thunderball when Bond is coming out of Largo's Palmyra basement after finding his helper dead, the cellar door is opened and visibly bangs to a stop, but very conveniently for our hero it makes absolutely no noise what so ever! Makes me laugh just thinking about it now. :D
Such a great job. Quickly becoming one of my fave channels
Thanks a lot!
Another mistake in Quantum of Solace is in the opening... Bond closes Casino Royale in a 3-piece Brioni suit, but when we see him in the first scene in Quantum (said to take place mere minutes after the ending of Casino), he is wearing a two-piece Tom Ford suit...
8:07 Me when the boss walks into the room 😁😁
Didn't you know? Some of us went to Damsel in Distress School. We learned how to switch our heels to sneakers in the blink of an eye. And how to rip the hems off of our dresses and sleeves while fleeing, so we can make moves like Gail Sayers.
😂😂👍🏼
Thunderball.... WOAH. I have watched this movie dozens of times and never noticed that. Blew me away!
Another really good video. I like most of the Bond TH-cam channels like the Bond experience and being James Bond, but this one is my favourite. I think your ideas are better and your videos are not too long like the other channels can be, meaning its just quality and the video doesn't drag on.
Love these episodes! You should make "One Plot Hole in Eevery JB Movie" too!
Brilliant idea! Here's one for DutchBondFan to start off with... 'Moonraker', at the start, when the shuttle takes off whilst it is being transported on top of the Boeing 747 plane. Why does it have fuel onboard to fly? If it was being transported, surely it would make sense for it to be empty, and thus lighter and less expensive to transport! This has always bugged me.
Thats a good idea
You could do an entire three hour special on the plot holes
Since I'm Scottish my big question is whether Bond is too. The films and books contradict themselves on this, often calling him English. As I understand it, he's half-Swiss French, half-Scottish... and you hear about his Scottish background in Skyfall.... but he never gets called Scottish!
My favorite 1 Sean Connery 2Rooger Moore and3 Timothy Dalton
Loved this. My favorite Bonds are Roger, Daniel, Sean.
Not in that order I hope
The mistake of Die Another Day? The whole movie.
Absolutely right!
In Thunderball, the hotel desk is immediately through the hotel doors, where the clerk says "Sorry, no mail". Bond walks to the right of the screen away from the front desk. The scene cuts to Bond walking into the desk FROM THE LEFT. Did Bond walk in a circle?
Well spotted...😁
I love this channel he always puts out the best james bond videos
Well done Sir! I am a long time Bond fan and I haven't seen any of these flaws.
Nice video. My comment to the errors: In "Goldfinger" (1964), at the last part of the film, after fort knox is bombed to get all personnel asleep, Goldfinger's crew go in a group of military (Chevy like) trucks escorted by jeeps (One jeep is seen always ahead of the trucks). That trucks changes model until they arrived to fort knox. You can see clearly one International model, but suddenly it disappears (it becomes a Chevy like model again) and reappears in the front of the fences of fort knox. The other vehicle that disappears is the jeep "leader". You can see a shot taken from behind the fence of fort knox and you see the first truck (now International again), but the jeep ahead of it is gone.
Ironically Christoph Waltz was born in 1956, ten years after his characters 1956 DOB, so strange the filmmakers goofed that up.
Great Video Dutch and wow, I never saw that FYEO mistake with the studio rigging before a Acostas falls off the cliff.
There were some good ones here I didn't know about but a few I did. That one in FRWL is a bit of a shoddy one!
In the Octopussy-Sequence is a way bigger mistake: The landing gear disappears split-seconds after the take-off.
Some will say that a couple of movies themselves were mistakes. Those are ill-intentioned people.
The air sweeper is just **chef's kiss**
NEVER noticed any of these "goofs" in the Bond films. Danke!
Quite brilliant. Hats off to your power of observation
As a Bond fan I loved that! Well played, Sir.
great, i cant unsee that 'Die Another Day' mistake now, those trucks drove over the mines :D
Pierce Brosnan kept killing the hotties and ending up with the second tier.
Aaaaaaaaahhhhh aahhhhhhhh XD This is the best one: Famke-Terry and Rsamund are much more sexy than the their rivals and Sophie Marceau is the most beautifull woman in the world so no contest with whatsoever Bondgirl.
Best explanation for vanishing Goldfinger? Odd-Job is so under-appreciated for his proficiency! If you know how to make the boss disappear, you're going to bend to that temptation from time to time. Naw, maybe it's a precursor to the invisible car technology in D. A. D. They can't make the whole car vanish, yet, but they can create the illusion that the VIP you're driving around isn't really aboard.
I notced that, but Goldfinger was leaning forward to write the cheque, I thought he disappeared when sitting normally in that large car.
Great video! Good stuff as always. I especially like the discussions from the older moves. The rear projection mistakes are always hilarious, and I never noticed Sean Connery's disappearing tie in Dr. No!
I have an idea for a future video: How about the top 10 escapes in James Bond movies. These could be escapes by any character in the film (obviously, Bond would be involved in most of the escapes, but they don't have to involve him). They have to be successful escapes and there has to be something unique about them. The length of the scene does not matter as long as it is memorable. Pre-title sequences do not count because you have already made a video on the best of those. My list of the top 10 escapes would start like this:
10. Silva escapes form MI6 prison in "Skyfall." This is a very cool sequence from MI6 to the subway to the streets of London to Parliament. Really elaborate and exciting stuff. The only reason it ranks so low on the list is because it is completely absurd that Silva could have set it all up ahead of time (unless he is clairvoyant).
9. Bond escaping Largo's mansion and his sharks in "Thunderball." Starting with Bond infiltrating Largo's island mansion during a power outage, continuing with evading Largo's men while running on rooftops, and concluding in the fight in the covered shark pool. Classic exciting stuff.
8. Necros infiltrating and escaping from MI6 safehouse in "The Living Daylights." The explosions, the stunts, the music, the elaborate escape, it's all great and really sets up Necros as a smart, tough henchman.
7. Bond escapes from Kriegler and Locque and other henchman on skies during a biathlon in "For Your Eyes Only." I have always enjoyed this whole sequence. The music just works so well. Even the times when the music is not playing works so well. The tension builds throughout the whole snow chase. I love the part where Bond realizes he had to do a long jump to escape and more henchman come out of nowhere to stop him. And it culminates with Kriegler throwing his motorcycle. It's great!
I'll tell you the rest of my list if you tell me yours. What do you say? Will you make the video?
How about Bond villlains who go unpunished? There are a few. Irma Bunt for example.
Google (American movie bloopers)... there are some right howlers there.
I love hearing about these and I love all the videos and I have followed on your channel since 2019
I have 2:
In GoldenEye when Wade shows up in Cuba, he tells Bond to be careful and that "He knows you're coming." Assuming Trevelyan is the one being referred to, how would he know? As far as he's aware, Bond was killed in the train explosion he had rigged to blow up.
In TWINE when Valentin introduces himself to Elektra, Bond humorously says " Nothing stays free from you, Zukovsky." There's a bit of an audio gaffe because Brosnan's mouth says not the man's last name but his first.
There was an understandable continuity error with Bond's parachute in the teaser sequence in "The Living Daylights". After Bond bails out of the Jeep after it careens off the cliff-hugging road towards the sea and watches it (with the assassin still trapped inside) blow up just ahead of him while they fall, Bond's parachute catches some flak and fire and sports some holes and scorch marks... but as he falls towards the yacht, his parachute is again pristine. I consider us viewers as lucky to have been shown a damaged chute in an insert shot.
At the beginning of QoS, Bond and Christiansen are wearing different clothes, despite the film starting off mere minutes after CS ends
after watching a video on props specificallly made for hollywood to make less noise in a scene i can totally understand the extra brushing the air
Great video, as always. Keep up the great work, DutchBondFan!
Helicopter scene: the fire of the exploding copter comes from out of the building. It amuses me to no end also the cars , planes and copters in many films run out of gas, Pilot jumps off, then vehicle explodes. what is exploding?
What was really terrible was the model of doctor No HQ, with a little model boat. Also bad is the statue hit by Oddjob, you can see a cut on the throat before being hit.
Kudos for having such an eye.
Good stuff. If you have not watched The Rock yet, you are in for a treat. Lots of zingers and ample opportunity for Connery to pull 007 style. I have seen it at least 4 times. I have been a Bond fan since BEFORE Dr No was released.
This video is a great piece of work. Very entertaining.
Ok, that mistake in “For your eyes only” is just unacceptable to be honest! What were they thinking!? 4:48
Have watched it twice recently and never noticed it.
A lot of what might be considered mistakes are simply decisions by the producers/ directors to leave in something that most won't see because of financial or time restraints .
The birthdate of Blofeld makes no sense. It’s 10 years off of Waltz birth year. He’s born in 1956 not 46. It still wouldn’t make sense even if they used his real age, but that’s what they get for making Blofeld related to Bond in some fashion. If they had just never done that it wouldn’t be an issue at all.
They should’ve either made Obenhouser his OWN unique villain and left Blofeld out of it, or made Blofeld the one who caused Bonds parents death.
Don’t make them step brothers and have Blofeld have daddy issues. 100% stupid.
If he was just Obenhouser only the brothers storyline COULD have worked.
But Blofeld’s birthday might be different to Oberhauser’s. I mean Franz “died”, so Blofelds records could be fake data. Still a weird year to use though.
I noticed the megaphone and helicopter errors (helicopter picked forward but not moving), plus the car riding on the right only, then the left only, tires while watching the films. Never noticed the others.
Water absorbs infrared light. So the only way Bond's 'underwater infrared camera' from Thunderball would work is if it is not under water
Great video bro! Most of these I never noticed before
I have seen all JB movies several times but I never look for mistakes especially when they last for less than a second. I prefer to enjoy them as they are.
@Karlheinz Egger ... Well, I hope this little collection didn't spoil it for you, then.
@@kh23797 Nahh. I still enjoy the movies. It's fascinating though how close a look some people are taking.
I kinda like the guy with the broom.
According to no time to die, Vespa is 21 during casino royal. This means she’s barley graduated university before getting a job at the treasury and has somehow been honey-potted right out of the classroom

I noticed you had the acrostar jet from Octopussy listed. One thing that always bothered me about the opening scene was continuity around the hangar Bond flies through. You don't even have to stop and rewind to notice it, but when you do, it all becomes very noticeable. In every scene showing the hangar, look at the trucks and other equipment around it. Look at it from both sides. When the hangar is exploding, none of that stuff is either around, or it is in the wrong position. In other words, the model doesn't match up with the live action sequences.
The most noticeable mistake in The Spy Who Loved Me was when Bond was on the beach emerging with the Lotus and He opens down the car window to take a fish out of the car. How is that possible if the car is completely sealed?
Well, a fish can still stay alive for a bit, out of the water in a sealed car. When he opened the window, the car is no longer sealed and the fish returned to its natural environment. Unless you're asking how the fish got there in the first place. Well, maybe the woman he went with the night before, wasn't so happy with the 'licence to womanise' guy, and stuck a fish in his fancy car.
@@StupidusMaximusTheFirst Of course he meant how the fish got there in the first place
Rule of funny. 😅
Remember the Lotus sprung a leak, maybe that's how the fish got in
I always thought that was a bit fishy.
Biggest ever mistake - was having that annoying slide whistle during the amazing car barrel roll stunt in The Man with the Golden Gun !
Having seen From Russia With Love many times over decades . It was only two years ago that I noticed the stunt double changeover after the helicopter blew up. I had to slow down the clip to look at it again and realised it was so glaringly obvious I couldn't understand how I had missed it in previous viewings. Incidentally, it is one of the best in my view as far as plot and being faithful to the book is concerned. It also features two of the best villains of Klebb and Grant played by Lotte Lenya and Robert Shaw who both played their roles with the coldness and ruthlessness their characters demanded.
Robert Shaw was a great actor. Both in the movie From Russia with love and Battle of the Bulge, Robert Shaw portrayed as Red Grant and Oberst Martin Hessler performed so well that he was applauded more than the Heroes.
In "DR. NO", the guy with the megaphone, doesn't actually have it turned on. That's his regular speaking voice (heehee). His men nick-named him "Big Blowhard".
Not long ago, I used duct tape to hold on my car's front bumper when somone knocked it loose, until I could have it replaced. There's still traces of glue from the duct tape on the fenders. (grrrr)
The year before "GOLDEN GUN", Bruce Lee fought the main villain in "ENTER THE DRAGON" in an entire MAZE full of mirrors, and, miraculously, you never once saw the camera! Heck of a thing when a relatively low-budget "kung fu" film is better-made ON EVERY LEVEL than the Bond films from that same era.
But the biggest movie mistake of all time: Ian Fleming SELLING the rights to "Casino Royale" in 1954, instead of merely LICENSING them. This compounded when Charles K. Feldman decided to do his own version in 1967. I'm hard-pressed to think of ANYTHING at all in that movie that wasn't a "mistake". Best to just pretend it never happened.
There were two good tunes in Casino Royale 67.
Other than that, as you say, everything else is just a big accident.
I missed them all. Thank you 😂
Too many comments to check if the following mistake has been mentioned yet: the biggest mistake that I have encountered yet is in the movie „you only live twice“, where Bond can watch in the monitor that is in the backseat of their car the helicopter tropping the gangsterˋs car (carried by a huge magnet) over the sea. I do not think the japanese secret service had a satellite filming it. 😉
I knew about some of these but not all of them. I honestly think movie mistake are great and funny sometimes. Because you never actually notice untill you see a video or someone tells you 😂❤️❤️🔥🔥
My fave for many decades was the most obvious one in Thunderball, which you show a brief frame located at 10:14 , James Bond (Sean Connery) in the underwater fight scenes changes his scuba diver mask colour blue to black or was it black to blue (LOL) when the badee rips off his mask.
The first one I noticed was in Dr. No. I actually noticed this when I saw the movie at 12 years old when it was first released. If you look at the scene in the airport, you will notice that Bond is being chased by a Chevy Impala. Look closely at the roofline. When the car passes them after they turn off, it is a different car entirely, but the same color.
Diamonds Are Forever - one of the Moon Buggy's wheels falls off out of camera shot but rolls into view when the chasing car behind it crashes.
LALD - During the Bayou boat chase, the boat with a goon is empty before it explodes. QOS - Bond mentions the name of Dominic Greene before he is told the name.
my fave is the wheel falling off the moon buggy and coming into shot and the next scene its back on! I In Diamonds are forever
I spotted the car in Diamonds are Forever the very first time I watched it. When they released the Bond movies on DVD they changed the scene. Like you said,they added the extra car scene where it flips onto the other wheels before the Mach 1 car exits. Think this was the worse blooper in a bond movie imo
Before every James Bond movie the bad guys and villains all huddle up and go “this time, guys - THIS TIME!!!”
GoldenEye also features the inflatable dummies of Bond and Natalya in the Helicopter for a split second at 6:32-6:33
Also another mistakes in GoldenEye is in the Severnaya facility. When Xenia and Ouromov arrives, Natalya is depicted as being in the room on the entrance side of the facility watching the GoldenEye key being taken out by the soldier, when it is very clear that the kitchen where she is seen later is actually on the other side and the control room is not visible from inside the kitchen. Its very clear since we see Xenia head in that direction when searching for Natalya and we can see the stairs and the slight turn to the left to get into the kitchen
I also remember specifically noticing an obvious dummy in a car in the background of the tank scene as evident by the dummy like rocking of the head in retaliation to being hit
In "On her Majesties Secret Service" in Gumbold's office, the manufacturer's sign can be seen on the top left of the door of the safe. In the close-up it has disappeared. It is a premium safe that also has a key lock further down, hidden behind a flap. . It's amazing that Bond can only open the safe with the combination lock and ignoring the second lock.
In the spy who loved me. A goofy scene is when the speedboat launches and it looks like a cheep model with cheep figures in it. LOL so funny.
Another great video DBF!!!!👍
the older bond movies are fun to watch again as it's like a treasure hunt for me lol
Nice. You have to have the ability to watch most of these in slo mo to catch them, which is not available to many of us.
Thx a lot DBF, I love this stuff, hopefully you can continue to tnex episode since a lot of goof mistake in bond movies. Btw, you can share important trivia in every bond mivies on the your next video...once again huge thx
