In order of appearance

Bond going down the mountain


In the teaser, Roger Moore is wearing a backpack. When the stunt man is on the snowmobile you can
see the backpack hanging from his wrist, but then in the next shot it's positioned securely on his back
again.

In the teaser, out on the snow, Roger's boots are solid black on the bottom, but when he's in the
submarine they're only black on parts. (The stunt man has boots that are solid white on the bottom!!).

In the teaser, Bond is skiing down from a mountain and finds the minisub disguised as an iceberg.
Roger Moore is skiing in some of these scenes but he has black buckles on his ski-boots and the
stuntman has white!!
When Bond is chasing May Day in the Eiffel tower, she throws a wire from a fishing pole at him.
When she throws and when she pulls the fishing pole Bonds legs are placed together. Now, Bonds
legs are supposedly wrapped with the wire but when you see him hanging over the railing his legs
are apart and that can't really happen because in the next scene he is struggling to free his legs from
the wire!!

When Bond runs after May Day up the Eiffel tower, she throws the fishing pole after him that she
just has used to kill the detective with. Bond gets stuck in the wire and disentangles himself from it.
During the long-shots of this scene, Bond has his gun in his right hand but in the close-up he uses
both his hands to get free from the wire. Where has the gun gone?
In the Paris chase scene where Bond steals the taxi, a boom mic can be seen in the reflection of the
back window just as Bond starts to drive the car away from the Eiffel tower.
In the above shot, only the driver's side window is rolled down, but seconds later all four of the
windows have been rolled down.

Is it Bond?!
When the top of Bond's stolen car gets ripped off in the streets of Paris, the stuntman involved
straightens up and it is quite easy to spot that it is a stuntman wearing a rather too scraggly wig!!!
The car that Bond steals get smashed in half. Even assuming the car to be front wheel drive, the gas
tank would have been knocked off, along with the back half. How can it continue to drive?!

Bond jumps on to the boat where May Day landed with her parachute but instead of landing on the
roof he falls through it and lands in the wedding cake straight below. May Day escapes and Bond
stands up and walks to the window to see the motorboat with May Day and Zorin disappear. In spite
of landing right in the cake, Bond's clothes look amazingly clean!!
Following above, when Bond falls through the roof of the boat, he obviously makes a hole. But in
the long shot showing Zorin and May Day's escape, there is NO hole on the roof of the boat.

Tibbet is snooping around


When Bond and Tibbet are in the basement where the microchips are being packed, they are
discovered by two security guards and a fight begins. Bond hits the big one and he falls onto the
conveyor belt and has a plank of wood underneath him. This plank was supposed to be the next lid
on the next box of microchips. But suddenly the machine has already got a lid to put on the big guy
so that he becomes the next box. Where did that extra lid come from?!!!

When May Day comes back from the car wash, where she killed Tibbet, Zorin has found out that
Bond is an agent. Bond gets hit in the head and is pushed into the Rolls Royce and he falls half-lying
against Tibbet's body. A moment later, before the Rolls Royce is pushed into the lake you can see
Bond's and Tibbet's bodies sitting neatly each on his side!

Following above about the lake. Just as they approach the lake the car windows are being rolled up.
But when May Day push the car into the water and it sinks the windows are rolled down. As they
filmed the underwater scene, the windows are rolled up again!!
Bond has found Stacey Sutton and follows her to her house and breaks in. She thinks that he is "just
another one of Zorin's stooges" and she tries to call the police. At that moment, the real stooges turn
up and a fight begins. In the fight, one of the stooges falls through the banisters on the second floor
and ends up in the chandelier and then falls to the first floor. But at the time when he falls through
the banisters you can see that it has been pre-cut!!
When Bond was in Stacy's house fighting the thugs, Stacy breaks a vase, supposedly her
grandfather's ashes, over one of the thug's heads. But there are no ashes to be found.....!!

When Bond is out on the ladder in the firetruck sequence, the ladder smashes down a big sign that
explodes when it hits the ground. In this scene, you can see two crew members, on the firetruck with
a camera, mounted on the back of the truck. It wasn't there before and it disappears in the next shot.

Max Zorin

In the end when they fight in the blimp, Zorin gets his hair messed up, but in the next scene, his hair
looks very nice.

Stacey wears high-heels during the scenes in the mine and afterwards when she is snatched by the
blimp, but her stunt double on top of the Golden Gate bridge wears, understandably, flat shoes.

Others
Zorin is told that "no-one ever leaves the KGB". Haven't they ever heard of Rosa Klebb, from "From
Russia With Love"?
Zorin's master plan is to destroy Silicon Valley and corner the computer chip production market for
himself, right? Well, the chips are not made in the Valley, they are brought there to be put into
computers. Zorin is killing all his biggest customers! Forget psychotic, this guy's just stupid!
