Casino Royale: Film – Goofups- Continuity: When Bond goes into his Aston Martin for the very first time, he does not close the door. He then reaches for his gun in the glove compartment, and immediately after, the door is closed.
- Revealing mistake: At the very beginning of the film, when Bond is talking to guy in his office, a wire can be seen leading from the guys chair off-screen. You later on see that was used to flip the chair.
- Continuity: When the Skyfleet airplane prototype is first shown in its hangar, it has winglets at the outer tips of its wings. When the plane is later shown on the tarmac outside the hangar, the winglets are gone.
- Crew or equipment visible: Camera briefly reflected in a shop window when Bond leaves the bank in Venice.
- Continuity: When Bond enters his pass code at the poker game, he enters 836547. This combination of numbers cannot mean VESPER. However, at the end of the film when Vesper Lynd enters the pass code, the last three digits entered are 737 (which, indeed, can mean PER).
- Revealing mistake: Towards the beginning of the film, when Bond jumps off the van into the embassy, the patch of ground he lands on is obviously a landing mat with leaves and turf covering it.
- Continuity: When the aircraft carrying Bond to the Bahamas is first shown in the air approaching the airport it has an American registration (N followed by some digits). In a following shot when the aircraft is on the ground and Bond is getting out of the aircraft, the registration is all letters (probably a British G registration).
- Continuity: After the fight in the stairwell between Le Chiffre’s clients, Bond returns to the poker table with no sign of the face injuries he received during the fight.
- Continuity: When Bond is talking to MI at his car after he has been poisoned, he applies the defibrillator to his chest. He is told to press the button but the device does respond. Right before he passes out he sees the wire is not connected. Vesper appears and notices the wire is not connected. She connects the wire and shocks Bond. The scene cuts back and forth. After this cut back you can still see the wire has not been connected. Then the scene cuts back and forth again and this time the wire is in fact connected.
- Geographical error: When Vesper and Bond first talk with Matthys at the outdoor cafe, one of the buildings in the shot is clearly marked ‘Bily Kun,’ which means ‘white horse’ in Czech, betraying the actual filming location.
- Geographical error: When the scene on the train begins a caption shows that the location is Macedonia. After that a shot of the train passing through a station shows the train station as being named Chur Ost. Chur is in Switzerland, not Macedonia.
- Factual error: When Bond is suffering from Digitalis poisoning, his heart rate is shown as 135 BPM, however, a symptom of Digitalis poisoning is low pulse rate.
- Factual error: Scenes in Montenegro have many goofs because there are no such buildings, hills are not as green as they showed (it’s mostly bare rock), roads are totally different then they are in Montenegro. Also, there are no such plates there (TT), and especially there is no such train as shown in the film. All in all, Montenegro doesn’t look a bit like they showed it.
- Continuity: After the tank wagon has run over a luggage vehicle and through the passengers bus on the Miami runway, we see three pursuing police cars pass the bus as well. However, just a few seconds later there is no sign of any demolished vehicles in the background of the police cars.
- Miscellaneous: When Bond is watching the Ocean Club security video from the archive, the time display shows that the footage was supposedly recorded at around seven o’clock in the evening, but the shadows in the shot show that it is clearly much closer to noon.
- Continuity: During the chase at the beginning of the film, when Bond goes on his first assignment, his gun can sometimes be seen on the back of his right hip, then it disappears, then reappears when he needs it.
- Crew or equipment visible: At the beginning, during the chase on the crane before the huge explosion, a cameraman is visible for just a second flying over the scene on a delta-wing.
- Continuity: The tires on the tank truck are shot by the police. A few shots later when Bond stops the truck in front of the plane the tires are intact.
- Revealing mistake: During the final scene when James shoots Mr White in the leg, knee pads are obviously worn under Mr White’s pants.
- Continuity: Just after Bond loses the game first game to Le Chiffre, his left hand is right over his right. In the next shot, it’s reversed.
- Revealing mistake: When Bond is trying to save Vesper from the cage underwater, in one shot the impression of an outline of a diving mask is clearly visible around her face.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Mathis is talking with Bond before he is shocked, lighting equipment is reflected in his sunglasses
- Continuity: Just after Vesper shocks James in the car when he has been poisoned, the lead for the defibrillator that she just attached was disconnected, then a second later, reconnected again.
- Continuity: As James jumps into the water to save Vesper from the sunken lift you see from his very shriveled hands he’s been in the water longer than a few seconds.
- Continuity: When Bond is attempting CPR on Vesper Lynd to revive her from drowning, the outline of a bra is visible under her red dress. Vesper, however, was clearly naked when she slipped her dress on earlier in the Venice apartment.
- Continuity: During the torture scene, close-ups of Bond’s face reveal bloody markings on his right cheek that disappear and reappear between shots.
