Continuity
While LeChiffre is playing poker on his yacht, his girlfriend Valenka comes on the yacht after swimming. As she enters the room, she is seen passing LeChiffre twice in a closeup and wide camera shot in front of table.
When Bond enters his password in the casino, he enters 836547. He later gives the password as VESPER, which on an alpha-numeric keypad would be 837737.
At the airport scene, when the bomber first checks his cell-phone to check the bomb's status, before the fight on the runway, the clock on the phone shows 2:13 am. After a long car chase and fight, well over 10 minutes in real life, when the bomber looks at his phone to send the call to the bomb, the phone still reads 2:13 am.
When Bond enters the password at the start of the tourney, he clearly hits the 5 button (JKL). Later in the movie he reveals that "Vesper" is the password (no JKL).
In the airport scene, the police shoot the tires of the fuel truck. A few moments later, they seem to have repaired themselves.
Upon arrival at Casino Royale, Bond receives a package with keys to a new Aston Martin. When he sits in the car, he leaves the driver's door open as he checks out the hidden compartments where the defibrillator and gun are located. After he closes the last compartment, the driver's door is now closed when it was open a moment earlier. The door is open again upon Bond's exit from the car.
In the opening scenes, when Mollaka is shooting at Bond, his pistol runs out of bullets. He clicks the trigger a couple of times, as if to verify that the pistol is empty. This "test for more bullets" technique might sometimes work with a revolver; however, a semiautomatic pistol locks open when the last round is ejected, making it obvious that there is no more ammo.
(This "testing" of semi-auto pistols is common in Hollywood, but it's still wrong.)
When Le Chiffre uses his inhaler he puffs out. When using an inhaler, you breath in the medicine.
During the opening chase sequence when Bond jumps onto a raised scissor lift and hits the control box and hydraulic fluid sprays out and the lift drops when in actuality the control box is electrical controls and all the hydraulics are in the base and absolutely nothing would happen if you broke the box except you would be stuck at the top.
Any explosion or suspected terrorist activity would put an airport in lock-down and all aircraft would be grounded and incoming flights diverted. Several incidents occurred at the Miami airport yet business seemed to carry on as usual.
In Miami International Airport Carlos hits a switch that activates all the fire sprinklers. Normal fire sprinkler systems do not have a switch to activate the entire system, instead sprinklers are activated by the heat of the fire melting a glass trigger in the sprinkler head and only the ones in immediate area of the fire activate. If all the sprinklers activated at once the water pressure at each head would be significantly lower than if only one or two activated, impeding the suppression of the fire, and the water damage caused by a sprinkler would be over a large area instead of just the area of the fire. This is a common goof and is seen in many movies and TV shows.
In the first poker game where Bond wins the car, the keys are placed in the pot representing the bet. Bond wins, then asks for the valet tag. If the car was parked by the valet, the keys would have been at the valet stand. However, in the shot where the "keys" are thrown into the pot, it can be seen that it is only a key ring and not the actual keys to the car. It's most likely a lucky charm.
When M is explaining the stock market manipulations which coincided with the September 11th terrorist attacks, she states that "the stocks hit bottom on 9/12." In reality the stock market did not reopen after the attacks until Monday 9/17. However the NYSE is only one of several dozen international stock markets. Several of the largest of these were open on 9/12, including the London Stock Exchange, which would, presumably, be the one M was talking about.
While Bond is pumping Solange for information, she receives a phone call from Alex Dimitrios saying he will be on the last flight from Nassau to Miami. Bond then unceremoniously dumps her, leaves the beach condo and catches the same flight. It would be a relatively small aircraft flying the short distance from the Bahamas to Miami and let's face facts, both Bond and Dimitrios would probably be flying first class. Regardless, it's extremely unlikely Dimitrios would not have spotted Bond - who had just robbed him of his beloved Aston Martin DB5 only hours earlier.
There are several possible explanations for this. If this flight was a small aircraft, it might not even have a first class (a Delta CRJ200, for example, does not have a formal first class area - just "economy comfort" seats; and JetBlue doesn't have first class on any of its flights). Since Bond secured a seat on the flight at the last minute, he may have had to get a coach seat against his will. He might have even gotten a coach seat deliberately to avoid running into Dimitrios. It's also possible that the "last plane to Miami" didn't leave for a few hours and there were a few flights that left before that (Bond wouldn't have been able to follow Dimitrios until the last flight). It's also possible (although unlikely) that Bond took a connecting flight.

Just before Bond crashes the Aston Martin, there's an interior shot where the speedometer is visible and the needle shows that the car isn't really moving.
A cocktail that has been shaken -- even one with mostly clear ingredients, like the Vesper -- will have a cloudy, milky appearance. However, the drinks served to Bond and the other players are crystal-clear, which would indicate that they were actually stirred. (Or, which is more likely, the actors are just drinking plain water with a twist of lemon.)
In the chase scene at the start of the film, Mollaka climbs a 'wooden' ladder - it's actually an aluminium ladder, painted to appear wooden. You can tell it's aluminium because it has holes down the sides where the rungs join.
When Bond has the tracker implanted in his arm he then put his arm into the scanner ring. The on-screen display shows the position of the tracker as being much closer to Bond's wrist than where it was seen to be inserted, shown by the blood mark on his arm.
During the opening chase sequence when Bond cuts the cranes rope the boom doesn't move at all. It should spring back up (potentially toppling the crane) as it is under tension from supporting the load.
During the sword fight in the stairwell sword sound effects are clearly added in later (most likely due to rubber prop being used). Starting from the moment the goon pulls the sword from inside his trousers, indicating a metal scabbard that would make his walking clumsier. During the fight the sword makes similar noises when it shouldn't but makes no sound at all when he and Bond leap to the ground and the sword hits the floor. Also hitting the railing makes a clanging sound but the railing itself doesn't make an echoing noise as it should when hit.
At 25m 26s the car brake lights don't work.
Bond requests a dry martini containing half a measure of Kina Lillet. Kina Lillet was discontinued in 1986 and replaced with the considerably sweeter Lillet Blanc.
When Bond emails his resignation to M, you can see that in his Outbox for "Today" he had previously sent 10 emails (including the one to M). One is "Stationary Request". Firstly, it should be spelled "stationery". Secondly, why would Bond be requesting new stationery when he had already decided to resign? Other emails include "Un-named", "Security Update 1", "Security Update 2", "Security Update 3" and "Reception". The other emails cannot be seen.
When James finds Vesper sitting in the shower, she says "It's like there's blood on my hands and it's not coming off" but her lip movements do not match what she's saying.
P99s are striker-fired, double-action only pistols and does not make the sound that of a hammer mechanism, which Bond's does every time he aims it.
Camera crew reflected in the door of the Ford hire car and the Range Rover when Bond gets out of both at the hotel.
(at around 2h) Bond has exited the Bank and the camera passes a shop window. In the reflection, a number of people can be seen facing the window, holding up camera phones as if they are watching the shot being taken. To the left of the shot, the reflection shows a man in a light top who is clearly sitting down and traveling with the camera dolly. He is looking left to right. He is using both hands to hold something in front of him that he is watching. On the right hand side of the frame, there is another person, also sitting down and traveling with the camera dolly. He faces right to left and is in a darker top.
In the scene where Bond is following the bomber in Miami Airport, when the bomber goes through the security door using the ellipsis password, and proceeds down the corridor,Bond tries to catch the door before it shuts. There is a hand visible which pulls the door shut for a brief second and holds the door in place.
Camera briefly reflected in a shop window when Bond leaves the bank in Venice.
When James comforts Vesper in the shower after the stairwell fight the camera pulls back on the two of them. As the camera moves back you can see an orange/yellow light reflected in the glass of the shower wall, but then it "turns off" about half way through the pull back.
In order to create the Montenegro location for the poker game, (almost) all signs in front of restaurants and such have been altered to a perfect Montenegrin/Serbian language, with an appropriate mix of Latin and Cyrillic lettering. However, when Bond is sitting in the café with Mathis waiting for the arrest, an original sign, "Bilý Kun" , which is definitely Czech and not Montenegrin/Serbian, is clearly visible for a few seconds.
When Bond arrives in Nassau he is driving on the right of the road (as in America), when in Nassau they drive on the left side on the road (as in England).
During the chase scene at the Miami International Airport, Bond runs past a Czech Airlines (CSA) plane. Czech Airlines do not fly into or out of Miami.
When the taxis pull up to the Miami airport (one carrying Bond and the other carrying the guy with the flashlight bomb), you can briefly see a European "do not enter" sign behind the taxis. European "do not enter" signs are round and red with a white horizontal line going through the center. In the United States, "do not enter" signs have that symbol on a white background with the words "do not enter" printed on them.
During the chase at Miami Airport a Travel Service aircraft is visible - this an EU domestic airline.
When M yells at Bond after his botched mission in Madagascar, she throws down a newspaper which reads MI6 KILLS UNARMED PRISONER. A similar story seen earlier on Le Chiffre's computer identifies him as a British agent. However, since Bond escaped from the embassy and did not speak a word to anyone while there, nobody could possibly know that he was English or worked for MI6, even with security camera footage.
Le Chiffre tortures Bond for the password to authorise the transfer of the poker winnings and intends to get the account number from Vesper.
However, they are useless to Le Chiffre as all they will do is authorise payment into what he believes is the Treasury's bank account.
In any case, Le Chiffre would need the Swiss banker to transfer the funds but the Swiss banker would only visit the winner of the poker game to do this.

Bond was entered the poker tournament under the name Arlington Beech, but no tournament host cares about this, he is constantly called Mr Bond. He only reveals his real name to the hotel receptionist, with no casino employee around.
After Mollaka died, Bond's face was all over the news, yet upon meeting him in Nassau, Dimitrios doesn't recognize him as the man who almost foiled the plan for the Skyfleet attack.
In the Montenegro hotel prior to the poker game, Bond supposedly has just two suitable outfits - one DJ procured by himself and one by Vesper. Yet, throughout the poker game, he has a seemingly infinite supply of fresh DJs, white shirts and black shoes, which he's able to change into whenever, for example, one set gets torn/bloodied in a fight, drenched in the shower, or has the buttons ripped off.
At the climax of the big game, the dealer mixes the players cards in with the community (board) cards to illustrate the various hands. This would never happen - the players cards are always kept separate from the board.
At the end of the major poker tournament Bond passes a chip from the table to the dealer as a tip. While this is done in cash games, in a tournament the chips have no actual value. The chips are just markers to play with as the money is pooled together and paid out to those that cash, in this case in the special account that is unlocked by the password. If the chip had any value Bond would be tipping the dealer with the casino's money as all his winnings were in that account.
When Bond is examining the MI6 file on Le Chiffre, the file contains some errors; in the section that details his areas of operation, Bosnia is misspelled "Bosni" and the word Investigator is misspelled "Invesigator".
During the showdown of the final hand of the Poker Game, the players reveal their hole cards starting from Japanese player and ending with Bond. In the real world, this is actually not correct - the first player who needs to show his hand is the player who made the last aggressive move. In this case it's Bond, since he pushed all-in. The dealer does not enforce this rule, even though he should. This is of course done for a dramatic effect.
When Bond is giving CPR to Vesper he very quickly gives up. If he had had any training in this, he would know not to give up for a lot longer, and if professional rescuers are expected, not give up at all.
