“Tomorrow Never Dies” Goofs List
- Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: Bond knocks one of Carver’s henchmen into the printing press and the newspapers start printing with blood on them. However, you can see the man safely lands in some type of basket underneath the newspapers (you can see his legs sticking out), nowhere the actual mechanical part of the printing press.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: SPOILER: When Bond says “You forgot the first rule of mass media Elliot. Give the people what they want!” Bond’s lips do not match what he is saying.
- Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: The area where Wai Lin hangs underwater in the middle of the night is remarkably well lit.
- Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: When Wai Lin and Bond are captured and brought to Carver, Carver types their obituary on a giant screen. However, he is only randomly hitting keys on his keyboard. The characters on the screen do not appear as quickly as he types, but that could be attributed to slow hardware (odd, however, for someone so powerful).
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: SPOILER: Wai Lin is submerged underwater for considerable time, and Bond “rescues” her by breathing air into her mouth. Bond would have exhaled ~some~ carbon dioxide, but the lungs don’t process ALL the oxygen inhaled. This is why Artificial Respiration to save a drowning victim works.
- Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: Wai Lin is tied to a chain and dropped into the water below Carver’s stealth ship. The chain is shown to be attached to a rafter of the ship. When the boat is blown to smithereens, the chain remains taut as Bond works to free Wai Lin underwater.
- Continuity: When in the plane, Bond’s oxygen mask is clearly seen clipped to his helmet in frontal camera shots, but is missing on side profile camera shots.
- Continuity: The scene where the tire re-inflates itself shows a wheel of the “classic” series for the BMW 7, yet the car was equipped with “sports” wheels.
- Crew or equipment visible: “Back-seat driver” in Bond’s car can be seen under black cloth when Bond test drives his car.
- Factual errors: Helicopters are physically incapable of hovering in place with their rotors tilted forward, as indicated during the motorcycle chase. Also, we see the rotor hitting objects when in this position. Helicopter rotors are fragile. With those impacts, the rotors would fail, the helicopter would crash, pulling Bond and Wai Lin downward into a very colorful death.
- Continuity: Wade is walking toward the camera with his hat in his right hand. The next shot shows him walking away from the camera with his hat in his left hand.
- Continuity: The rear window of Bond’s car repairs itself soon after the missile passes through the hole in it.
- Continuity: Wai Lin’s outfit becomes less revealing as she and Bond fall down the side of the skyscraper.
- Continuity: The handcuff can be seen not closed around the water pipe.
- Continuity: Amount of vodka in Bond’s bottle during the hotel scene.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The movie is set in 1997, yet Ho Chi Minh City is referred to as Saigon, a name not officially used since the Vietnam War ended in April 1975. However, people still call it that for tradition.
- Continuity: The BMW that drives off the roof of the parking deck and crashes into the Avis dealer has a tinted moonroof, instead of the metal panel sunroof (with rocket launchers) seen on all previous shots of the car.
- Continuity: When Bond parks his car in the garage, the tires are turned slightly to the right. Later, when Carver’s people try to break it open, the tires are in straight position. Also, the car is at a different angle across the space.
- Errors in geography: When HMS Devonshire gives its position as 114 23 818 E, 37 74 624 N, that longitude and latitude is actually 300 miles inland.
- Factual errors: The fleet as seen is missing the Royal Navy’s most powerful units, the aircraft carriers, of which at least one would almost certainly have been sent along with any naval buildup. Further, none of the ships present choose to deploy their helicopters for recon or assault on the stealth ship.
- Continuity: When Bond parachutes into the ocean, in the air the tanks are quite spread apart, almost behind each shoulder, but as soon as he gets underwater, the tanks are right next to each other. His swimming flipper is knocked off his foot and floats away, yet is back in place in the next shot.
- Continuity: Gupta tape-records Paris and Bond talking. Later on, he plays back a completely different recording of the same event.
- Revealing mistakes: When Bond and Wai Lin are being chased by the helicopter, Wai Lin’s fake left arm is much too long.
- Continuity: When Bond and Wai Lin are being taken to Carver’s building by helicopter, we get a shot of the building itself. It has a sloped roof, and a large pole on top, making it impossible for a helicopter to land on that roof.
- Continuity: When Bond is talking to M and Moneypenny in the limo, the blue partition window can be seen being raised during an exterior shot but is then back down in the next shot.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the jump officer is prepping Bond for the H.A.L.O. jump, and we see him from behind, his mouth doesn’t match what he is saying.
- Errors in geography: When Bond and Wai Lin arrive in Saigon by helicopter, a Thai flag is even visible flying from a building. The streets use Chinese and Thai characters, not the Latin-based Vietnamese characters. The Saigon scenes were actually filmed in Bangkok.
- Continuity: When Wai Lin runs away, having handcuffed Bond to the shower, her hair is completely dry, despite sharing the shower with Bond only a few seconds before.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Bond and Wai Lin are captured by Carver, Carver says, “I’ll leave you to Stamper and his toys.” The words “and his toys” were dubbed in, and Carver’s mouth never moves along with them.
- Revealing mistakes: When the helicopter is about ready to crash into the building at the end of the motorcycle chase, crash dummies can clearly be seen as the only helicopter passengers.
- Continuity: During the motorcycle chase, the Range Rovers become dusty and dirty while hitting bags on the side of the road. In a subsequent shot when they stop at right angles, they are absolutely clean.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: On the stealth boat, Bond is using a silenced Walther P99 yet the sound of it is as if it is unsilenced.
- Plot holes: There’s no reason why a hotel’s parking garage door should be armored and be able to withstand missiles. (It’s a holdover from an earlier version of the script, where the car battle took place in the villain’s headquarters.)
- Continuity: When Bond is searching Carver’s lab for the GPS encoder, he is standing at a table with his hands by his sides. In the very next shot, a close-up on his face, he has his thumb on his chin as if in thought for a moment.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Carver is talking about launching his missile into Beijing, and his motive, he says, “Oh, nothing – just exclusive broadcasting rights in China for the next hundred years.” When he says “hundred years” his mouth doesn’t match his speech (obviously dubbed)
- Factual errors: It would be physically impossible for the torpedo drill, launched in the first scene, to maintain sufficient forward momentum to overcome the lateral movement of the drill that would be caused by the friction of the cutting discs on the hull of the ship.
- Continuity: During the motorcycle chase, Bond is supposed to be constantly holding Wai Lin’s right hand with his left. Sometimes he is seen using both hands to drive the motorcycle.
- Continuity: When the BMW jumps out of the car park, a wide shot shows the motion of the car. If the car had continued in that motion it would not of hit the ground floor but about the first or second. Also the angle in the wide shot is different to that of the head on shot.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): 120 is the maximum terminal velocity for skydivers only in the relatively thick lower atmosphere. 200 mph is indeed possible for a HALO jump. The world record is over the speed of sound. This was set by a skydiver who jumped from a balloon at 100,000 feet.
- Crew or equipment visible: In the parking garage chase scene, when he shoots the red car with missiles it is thrown back on top of another car. The cable used to pull the car backwards from the explosion is visible at the bottom of the car while it is in the air.
- Revealing mistakes: When Bond and Wai Lin crash through the
