Facts and Bloopers:

Bond is issued a "mini-breather" with an emergency four-minute supply of air.  Yet, Bond utilizes the device for a far longer period during the climactic battle sequence.

During the pre-credits sequence, Bond immoblizes pursuers by spraying a pressurized stream of water from a device in his Aston Martin.  In reality, the car would have to contain tanks larger than the vehicle itself to make such a device functional!

Bond, Domino, and a professor jump into the ocean moments before the Disco Volante explodes.  Bond and Domino are rescued, but the fate of the hapless professor is left unclear.
