Bond saves himself with a parachute


In the teaser, when Bond ejects from the jeep with his parachute, you can see that he is very close to
the water surface. However, a few moments later when he's hanging above the boat, he is much
higher up.
The jeep explosion does not take place very far from the yacht, but the woman on the yacht
complains that "it's all so boring here". Since she is within Bond's sight, then she was also close
enough to be aware that a car had just exploded in mid-air very close to her. Yet, she's totally
oblivious to all of this excitement!

When Bond and Kara are chased on the lake in the Aston Martin, the car's tire gets blown off. Bond
then proceeds to cut a hole in the ice. The circle the car cuts is quite large, but when we see the
police car sinking into the lake, the cut is very small!

The blown off tire appears back in it's place when Bond jumps up from the lake and lands in the
woods!!

After Bond's car has landed in the snow, look at the car's left-side mirror. In the first scene it's facing
down, but just before the car explodes it's back in the normal position.

When Bond and Kara are sliding down the slopes in the cello case, the cello gets shot. However, the
bullet only went through the front of the instrument - was the wood in the back bulletproof?!!

When Bond is in Bratislava, the weather seems to be cold, icy and snowy. But when Bond and Kara
show up in Vienna it is filled with flowers, and at other points it seems to be autumn. The two towns
are only 100 miles apart! Of course, there could be snow in the mountains but should there really be
warm and nice weather in Vienna? The towns aren't that far apart!

When Bond arrives in Vienna with Kara, they stop right outside the Prater ferris wheel which means
that he's at the north end of the town. He calls a horse-drawn taxi; the only problem is that the horse-
drawn taxis can't reach that part of the town! The problem is not that they won't circulate outside the
historic inner city, but that they can't, as Vienna is girdled by a series of ring boulevards, which are
used for the streetcars and major auto traffic. Beyond the rings are newer, less horse-friendly parts of
Vienna; Schonbrunn palace was supposed to be a country palace and as such, is two or three miles
away from this center, accessible by a series of roads which even your everyday pedestrian might
have trouble crossing.

When Bond and Kara arrive in Afghanistan, it is broad daylight. They are immediately taken into
Soviet custody and are thrown in jail. After a fight they break out of jail and when they get outside, it
is now pitch black!

Necros
During the mid-air fighting scene between Bond and Necros, it is fairly noticeable that they were on
a Transall C-160 aircraft, which only has TWO propeller engines. Where as the other scenes, the
same aircraft turned out to be a Lockheed Hercules, which has FOUR engines.

When the plane is running out of fuel, Bond complains that there is no flat ground to land on. Yet
after they leave the plane in the jeep, they land right next to a very straight road, and the only hill to
be seen anywhere, is the one that the plane crashes into!

Bond and Kara on their way to Karachi


When Bond and Kara get out of the crashing plane in the jeep, they are almost at ground level.
However, a couple of moments later when the plane crashes into the mountain it's suddenly very
high up. The plane couldn't have got up to that height without a pilot...!
