Other mistake: When James kills the snake in his bathroom with the flame from his cigar and the aerosol, the carpet doesn't appear even singed.
Live and Let Die (1973)
1 suggested correction
Directed by: Guy Hamilton
Starring: Roger Moore, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, Jane Seymour, Yaphet Kotto, Clifton James
Continuity mistake: When the guy with the snake is shot, Baron Samedi reappears and you can distinctly see the bloke holding the snake again.
James Bond: Black Queen on the red King, Miss.
Solitaire: Solitaire.
James Bond: My name's Bond, James Bond.
Solitaire: I know who you are, what you are, and why you've come. You have made a mistake. You will not succeed.
Trivia: With so many black actors, most of whom were cast as villains in the film, producers wanted to write in another character, a comedy part, to draw attention away. New York actor Clifton James was cast in the role of "Sheriff J. W. Pepper" (he was so popular that he would turn up again in the next Bond film).
Question: Is this the only Bond film where the title song is being sung by a character during the film?
Answer: As far as I can tell, yes. Unless you count "Die Another Day," where the singer of the title song (Madonna) appears in a scene, as well as the song being remixed for the party scene in the ice castle.

Suggested correction: It was a woollen carpet. Wool is fireproof.
It would still have been singed.
It does, as it turns brown.
