Except for the way all the bad guys can unload hundreds off bullets in James Bonds direction but none of them will hit, yet he can take them all out with his walther ppk, but this has been "observed in the Austin powers films [I will place you in an elaborate but easily escapeable trap].
I was talking on the phone to home the other week and they told me goldeneye was on the television (they have goldeneye on video, so I don't know why they didn't watch that instead as it has no adverts in it), They told me what bit was showing and it got me thinking about all the little plot holes in this movie.
1. It should be possible to do that bungee jump at the beginning, but wouldn't he have swung into the wall of the dam?
2. When 006 was shot in the head at the beginning would James not hae noticed that 006's contents of his head would have been on the floor from that point blank range, Or at least Ouromov (I don't have the correct spelling in front of me) would have had blood over him, but I didn't notice any.
3. What exactly was in the canisters at the beginning of the film, some sort of gas I assume that was highly combustable.
4.Bond free falling into the plane: Its possible but wouldn't it be difficult to aim yourself at those kinds of speeds and not crack your head open when you can't slow down when you are in the plane.
5. How does bond always get the girl? in the scene with the pscological evaluator.
6. Why did bond not have his Id when he was trying to stop xenia from stealing the tiger helicopter- he's commander bond surely they would have listened to him.
skip forward a bit
7. Bond driving a tank: why was he driving with half of his body outside the protective armour of the tank. obviously for better visibility in the chase, but he exposed hiself to gunfire. Oops I nearly forgot you can't hit bond with random machine gun fire.
8. Why was Borris not blown up earlier, he clicked the explosive pen enough times and paused between clickings, 3 clicks armed, 3 clicks dissarmed.
9.How did 006 not die on impact after plummeting off of the antenna [probably setting up the ironic he dies through being crushed by the falling antenna- see bond "baddie" rule it takes alot to kill one].
10. Why did the commandos not get up sooner when james and natalya landed and what where the chances that they could have stood on one?
There are probably more in this and the other bond films (bond using a union jack parachute).

Because it is rated 12.

It's a James Bond film, you rarely see any blood in them, especially brains splattered all over some guys shirt.

He would of but I think that when he shot that extra line from his gun which connected to the base stopped the swing and kept him in line. Unlikely to work but I think that was the idea.

You probably know why because if there was blood everywhere it would have upped the classification of the film but good point it should have been obvious to a professional secret agent to notice when someone is dead or not.

Exactly right, it would have either choked them out if released slowly or blown the whole place up it it reacted with something, like gunfire.

His name is Bond, he's special :-)
That was the biggest floor of the film for being none realistic, entertaining none the less.

Tradition is suppose and thats the only place they could fit it in with them both being together.

Good point, instead he just watched on as they flew away, silly goit.

If I must. :-)

No you can't, but yeah stupid idea, maybe he was protecting his lower body for ahem, later on in the film.

Because you have so long to de-activate it and I suppose Borris unknowingly did.

He slid down it didn't he? So it would have just hurt his back a hell of a lot.

It was also very unlikely that they would land in the middle of a group of Commandos, landing on one would have been funny but no, ruins the plot (I know that wasn't what you was saying about the plot but yes it is extremely unlikely) :-)

There are a lot of Bond film steroetypes, but without these it just wouldn't be Bond.
