I have a disgusting answer for that…I hate myself

Maybe no one will notice:
The sound of ricochets when Bond is shooting up the ‘guards’ in NSNA’s opening training exercise, yet Bond tells M “It’s never the same playing with blanks.”
(And to those who think the hostage (Wendy Leech) really stabbed Bond, I say: then Bond’s prosthetic legs (to replace the ones he lost to a mine on the Black Sea beach) are incredibly realistic looking and must be ‘bionic’ for him to back in active service and not invalidated out of the department.)

…And maybe no one will notice:
That right after Bond climbs out of the pipeline and says “I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way” there’s a blast of brass and a shot of the Whyte House with Tiffany’s red Mustang headed towards it. Clearly it’s the tail end of the earlier scene where Bond and Tiffany were following Bert Saxby from the airport to the petrol station.

Maybe no one will notice Dalton giving the audience the middle finger when he is silently communicating with Felix by pressing the thing in his ear as he’s sneaking into Brad Whittaker’s palace in TLD…

That, since the tango playing on Largo’s boombox when he leaves Domino to the Arab bidders is identical to the version played at the casino in Monte Carlo, it is obviously a recording, and not just coincidentally playing on the radio. So, why does he run up the aerial?

Good catch. I suppose the aerial is used for dramatic effect, even when it doesn’t add much to the scene; maybe they hadn’t even yet decided what music they would use.
Was is the reason for the music even?
At the casino Bond is dancing with Domino, telling her about her brother’s death, turning her against Largo.
When Largo leaves Domino to her fate he wants her to remember: this was the moment you sealed your fate.

Always did make me wonder too. Also made me wonder why anything would be heard with no cassette in the deck.
Maybe no one will notice that during the fight at the caviar factory in The World Is Not Enough, Bond is always carrying his Walter P99, except for one short clip where he’s behind hiding the vat of caviar and holding a Steyr TMP. He never fires it, you just see it for a brief moment and in the next shot he’s back to holding the P99.
Maybe no one will notice that, in FRWL, M tells Bond that this “smart piece of luggage” is being issued to all 00 personnel. Nash, Bond’s contact in Zagreb, has an identical case, but Bond doesn’t know him on sight, making it simple for Grant - who did know who to look for - to impersonate him. Surely the 00 section isn’t so large that the agents don’t know each other? Are all foreign station heads 00 agents? The mind reels.

They have a short life span…best not to get attached.
We noticed that! 
Check all the 00 agents in films and novels: https://archivo007.com/seccion-00/
Captain Nash is there.

Archivo 007 counts Captain Nash because he had the briefcase.
That’s my point.
He also points out that Miranda Frost’s MI6 ID # is 0069.
Really! No wonder Bond didn’t notice her switching out the pistol he’d left under his pillow.

Wow, Miranda is 0069? I didn’t know that. I sort of thought it only went up to 10.
There was a 0011 mentioned in Ian Fleming’s Moonraker.

Also, the novelization of The World Is Not Enough refers to the dead MI6 agent whose death Bond is investigating as 0012.

Maybe no one will notice, but I’ve been an avid watcher of ski jumping for about as long as I’ve been a James Bond fan (somewhere between 40 and 45 years). That scene in FYEO, when Bond goes to the ski jump in Cortina when he’s pursued by is total humbug.
The scenes make it appear as if, but a ski jump, especially an Olympic one like the one in Cortina, is and was never open to public. Having untrained ordinary people go up to a K-90 ski jump and make a jump just out of fun would be like running a F1-Track and have F1 cars ready for everyone to take a ride.

That’s reasonable.
