In order of appearance
At the beginning, just before the shuttle is hijacked, the RAF pilot informs his co-pilots that they are
coming up on the English coast. Yet when M, Q, Sir Frederick Gray and Bond are watching a film of
the wreckage, we learn that the 747 crashed into the Rockies, a mere 5,000 miles from the English
coast!!!

In the teaser the shuttle is on a 747. Now my question is why didn't the radar pick up the shuttle
when it took off? It's unlikely for a shuttle to disappear on radar!

Jaws is about to jump


In the teaser, Jaws pushes Bond out of an airplane without a parachute. Bond however manages to
steal a parachute from Jaws accomplice. Jaws then jumps after Bond in an attempt to eliminate him,
but Bond escapes by pulling his rip-cord and then causing Jaws to fall below him. In the close up
shots of Jaws he has a beige shirt, however his stunt double has a snow white shirt!! It's also very
easy to see which one is Jaws and which one is the stunt man by looking at their faces and their
teeth. Jaws teeth are silver but the stunt man has white teeth.
When Drax is playing the piano in his mansion, sound can be heard but his fingers are not touching
the keys!

Drax, "playing" the piano


When Corinne tries to escape from the dogs which will kill her later, she first wears bright sandals.
One second later, she wears dark boots!!

Bond is in a canoe in the canals of Venice. Right before the funeral boat passes, Bond goes under a
bridge. Then the scene cuts to show the boat with the coffin and when they show Bond again the
bridge is gone. But then it is back to knock the coffin off the boat!
When Bond is going through the canals in Venice, there is a man shooting at him with a machine
gun. When Bond goes under a bridge you can see the bullets hit the bridge; the man was shooting
straight at Bond but the bullets curved up and around the bridge?!

When Holly Goodhead first sees Bond in her hotel room, she had just shut her balcony doors.
However, right before the scene cut, the doors are wide open, providing a wonderful view of the
ocean!!
Noticed by Jennifer Vu Jaws stops the cable car in Rio, he bites the cable. Why then, once Jaws'
bald friend starts the cable car again, does it work?
In the cable car sequence, Jaws jumps from one car to the other without so much as a running start.
It's very visible in the scene where they cut from Jaws to the stunt man. You can see Jaws just
flapping his arms and then it cuts to the stuntman, who obviously had a running start!!

In the scene were Bond and Holly ride down the cable with the help of a chain, Jaws is following
them in the cable car. In some shots you can SEE that they are riding on the parallel cable.
When Bond and Holly are on the tram, Holly is wearing high heels. When you see them again after
they have jumped, she is wearing black athletic shoes.

In the boat chase, on the river Tiperare, Bond fires a torpedo against one of his opponents and the
torpedo hits the stern of the boat but the actual explosion starts about 3 or 4 yards from where the
torpedo hit. The first explosion is near the wheel, the second explosion is a little bit closer to the
stern and the third time the whole boat blows up!
When Bond is thrown into the water outside the temple, we see a snake slither into the water. We
can clearly see that the real snake has a diamond-shape pattern on its back. However, when Bond has
stabbed the snake with the pen, the pattern on the snake's back has now changed to thick bands.
Bond fights with a python inside Drax's cave in the heart of the Amazon jungle. When the camera
focuses on Bond, you can clearly see the serpent around his body is made of rubber, latex or the like.

The wrist dart gun


When Bond has been lured into entering Drax's cave, he wrestles with a python in the water. He kills
it by sticking a pen into the snake's neck. The next shot you see of Bond and the python the pen is
under the chin of the snake!!
When Jaws pulls Bond from the snake pond, Bond's sleeves are rolled up, revealing his right arm
bare to the elbow. Yet later, on the space station, Bond is once again wearing his wrist gun and
shoots Drax with it.

Near the end, Bond tells Dr. Goodhead that the remaining globes will burn up in the atmosphere and
hurt no-one. But since 3 globes were launched from space to fall back to Earth, wouldn't they burn
up, too?!

Special
All events about the space station in this movie I will disregard as faults because if I didn't a whole
lot of this movie would be a fault. However if you do have comments about it they will be placed
below:
1: When Drax's space station was seen from Moonraker 5 by Bond, it was falling apart. Numerous
pieces and chunks of the space station were falling down from the wrecked station, suggesting
gravity, which is non-existent in orbit.

2: When they are firing in space and the guys are hit, they make sounds. You can't hear sound in
space.
