Facts and Bloopers:
Blofeld states that science was never his strong suit. Yet, in OHMSS, he is presented as a scientist/chemist.
The car Bond rents iin Las Vegas has California licence plates, instead of those issued by Nevada.
The death of Plenty O'Toole is Diamonds Are Forever is never satisfactorily explained due to a key sequence that was excised. Plenty returns to Bond's room after her unceremonious dump into the pool, courtesy of the invading gangsters. She secretly observes Bond making love to Tiffany Case, and rummages through Tiffany's purse to obtain her address (presumably to exact some sort of revenge). Arriving at Tiffany's house, Wint and Kidd mistake her for Case, their next target. Plenty is murdered and again discarded into a pool, but this time with her feet encased in a block of cement.
