Continuity mistake: Just after Bond and Christmas Jones climb out of the pipe, Bond is holding his shoulder and his blazer sleeves are up. In the next shot, his arms are by his side and his blazer is all neat. (01:20:05)

Bond gets captured and gets taken to the lighthouse, where he is tortured on a strange chair by Electra. However, Zukovsky comes in with a gun and Electra manages to shoot him. In a final moment, he shoots at Bond's cuff on the chair. Bond gets free and chases Electra, freeing M in the process. He kills Electra at the top of the lighthouse and then jumps off the balcony, where he enters the submarine, thwarts Renard's plan, kills Renard and ends up with Doctor Jones.

Christmas Jones: Doctor Jones. Christmas Jones. And, no jokes. I've heard them all.
James Bond: I don't know any doctor jokes.
Trivia: In the opening sequence, with the speedboat jetting through the boathouse 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.
Question: When Bond first enters Zukovsky's casino, there's a tune playing on a saxophone in the background. Can anyone make out what tune it is? It sounds really familiar.
