Apparently there was a line at the end of the intro sequence which was cut from the final release - among the people turning up to rescue Bond is M, who takes one look at him and says "Well, at least the Millennium Dome has some use".

When Renard is setting the time to show M when she will die there is an upshot angle which shows the underside of the lampshade - you can see a sticker which is either a price tag or the propmaster's serial number. See more...

In the opening sequence with the speed boat jetting through the boat house and over the road was filmed in Wapping, East London. It took a week to film that one sequence as I saw them doing it. Also, for the matter of continuity, when the boat goes across the road, it goes into some sort of alley with an arch above it; in reality it's actually a Group 4 building on the other side of that road.
The BMW Z8 seen in the film isn't actually a Z8. BMW did every thing they could to produce it in time for the film but they couldn't. The car in the film is a cobra with parts of the Z8 stuck on to it.
There's been a heated debate on whether not Sophie Marceau's nipple is visible on camera. As Brosnan turns her over after he says, "Enough ice for one night," You can clearly see her...nipular area, as Chandler (from Friends) once said. [And a little footnote to that one, probably only for DVD owners - if you watch the theatrical trailer and that scene both in slow-mo, you'll see that the nipple's been airbrushed out of the trailer, but not the film. Obviously to avoid offending trailer audiences].
There is a painting of Bernard Lee ("M") in the back of the Scottish MI6 Headquarters.
As the traffic wardens get splashed, the "What was that?" remark was the actor's real reaction. He wasn't told the spray would be that big.
This is Desmond Llewelyn's final appearance as Q. He was killed in a road accident shortly after the film's premiere.
The Traffic Warden who looks at Bond's speedboat in a somewhat confused manner during the speedboat chase sequence is 'famous' for his stint on BBC's short-lived 'Traffic Wardens' series. I believe his name is Jeremy.
The Castle that was used in the film as the location for MI6's headquarters in Scotland, was also used extensively in the film "Highlander" starring Sean Connery (the first Bond).
Look at the registration number plate of the BMW. It is the same as the Aston Martin in one of the earlier films
Not a mistake, just an interesting tidbit...in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", Bond (played by George Lazenby) is given his family's coat of arms. He is told it translates into, "The World Is Not Enough".
