When Bond and Melina are being chased in Melina's yellow car, the bad guys behind her hit the speedometer with a bullet. This is not possible, they have to shoot through her to reach this meter. [A bullet ricocheting of another part of the car could have hit it.]

At the boat where Bond talks with Colombo for the first time, Colombo has to convince Bond that Kristatos is the bad guy. Colombo takes two drinks and wants to toast with Bond. Bond will trust Colombo and says, 'Yassou' which means 'Hello' instead of what he should say, 'Jamas' which means 'Cheers'. [Character mistake.] No, translation mistake!

At St Cyrils as Colombo and Melina are being raised in the basket Melina fires an arrow at one of the guards that hits him with enough force to throw him backwards off his feet, yet when she later removes the arrow it appears that not even the arrow head has penetrated his body, in fact it practically falls out. [The Arrow dose not have a head its just a long thin pole with a point at the end. Its able to penetrate the body but then it probably got stopped by a bone.]
When he goes into the hotel room, you can hear a shower running. The shower stops, and about 2 seconds later the girl comes out wearing only a towel, however she is completely dry. [It is only an assumption that she was actually in the shower; perhaps she turned on the water, preparing to get into the shower, but when she heard Bond arrive she decided to change her plan of seduction.]
In the scene at the end when Bond throws the machine of the cliff, it is flipping slowly, but in the next shot before it breaks, it's spinning quickly. This quick change in the direction it's spinning and the speed it's moving is impossible. [Showing the flipping slowly is a common filmmaking technique to accentuate the drama and when done this deliberately it doesn't even qualify as a deliberate mistake.]
In the scene where 'Q' leads Bond from the laboratory into the room containing the identograph, there are several Q-branch staff visible in the background. A moment later, however, when a secretary enters with tea, all the staff have gone home and the lights have been extinguished. [That's because some time passes between the two takes. Note how much further the work on the iconograph has come.]

When Bond and company attack Kristato's warehouse, it is in the middle of the night, however as Bond runs up the stairs to chase the escaping bad guy, he reaches the top in broad daylight. [The attack takes place near dawn. You'll notice it getting lighter as the action goes on.]
