Licence to Kill: Film – Goofups- Continuity: When Bond gets out of his car at the airport he puts his tickets in his right inside pocket. He takes them out of his left pocket when approaching the desk.
- Factual error: When the air hose on a truck’s braking system is severed, the brakes lock on, they do not release as shown.
- Continuity: Truman-Lodge is shot while carrying a briefcase under his right arm. He is then shown lying on the ground with the briefcase in his left hand.
- Factual error: The discharge of an electric eel does not produce flashes of light in the water.
- Continuity: When Bond is captured in Isthmus City, he gets a bloody cut under his left ear, which heals overnight without a trace.
- Continuity: Near the Wavecrest, Bond is on sentinel and jumps off after it reaches the surface. A small boat approaches with four men on board. Two jump into the water after Bond. In the next shot, there are still four men on the boat and two more jump into the water.
- Factual error: Sanchez pays Killifer his $2 million bribe in a medium-sized suitcase, describing it as “all in $20 bills”. A single suitcase is much too small to hold 100,000 banknotes.
- Continuity: When Bond examines Della’s body, her mouth goes from being open in one shot to being closed in the next.
- Continuity: When Truman-Lodge is shot by Sanchez, he falls off to the side of the road, but when Bond makes his dramatic escape through the fire from Sanchez’s henchmen, Truman-Lodge’s body is shown lying in the road.
- Continuity: When Bond throws the burning gasoline in the lab, he throws it horizontally. The shot then cuts to flaming gasoline falling on, and flooding, the lab table from directly above the frame.
- Crew or equipment visible: After the prison van has plunged off the bridge, the cables that are lowering the van to the sea bed can be seen attached to the roof.
- Revealing mistake: When Bond arrives at Leiter’s house after hearing of Sanchez’s escape, the woman and the kid walking on the sidewalk hurry up to get out of his way. The woman instructs the kid to do so by waving her hand.
- Revealing mistake: When Bond first tries out the lighter given to him, a tube connected to the lighter is visible running down his sleeve.
- Factual error: Small decompression chambers such as the one Milton Krest has on his boat only go up to six atmospheres which is nowhere near enough to kill someone in the manner depicted in the film.
- Continuity: After Bond pushes the tanker against the cliff walls, Sanchez’s henchmen take aim with the Stinger rocket launcher. We see a) the henchman’s POV taking aim through the viewfinder – Bond’s tanker in straight road with no cliffs and no second tanker in background, then b) Stinger fired, c) crashed tanker’s driver reacts to Stinger launch (so evidently sees it), d) Bond getting the tanker he’s driving up on one side with ramp (no background tanker nor close cliffs in sight), e) Stinger missing Bond, f) Stinger colliding and blowing up crashed tanker near cliff walls (which was nowhere in sight when POV was from Stinger launcher sights) – evidently henchmen and crashed tanker not on same line of fire.
- Continuity: When Bond is battling the pilot on the pontoon plane, he’s hanging out the starboard (passenger-side) doorway. When the exterior shot shows the plane banking starboard up, the interior shot shows the ground over Bond’s shoulder (should show the sky). Conversely, when the plane is banking starboard down, the sky is shown behind Bond (should show the ground).
