Other mistake: When Bond has knocked out the truck driver who was going to meet up with Grant, the driver is lying on his back. Bond grabs a bit of shirt and easily flips him over onto his belly. There is no way a person can flipped over so easily and with so little leverage.
Other mistake: Monty Norman's name is misspelled Monte Norman in the credits.
Other mistake: When Bond returns to his room and places the rifle kit back in his briefcase, he fails to deactivate the booby trap before opening the case, but nothing happens. (00:49:40)
Other mistake: At the station in Zagreb, the clock shows approximately 12:30 am. After carrying on, Bond, Tania, and Grant go to the restaurant car. That is quite a late dinner - and they aren't even alone in there. When they get the food, it must be around 1:00 am at the earliest.
