    This one has always bothered me:

    How exactly does Bond survive the "assassination" in the PTS of YOLT? The gunmen don't fire blanks as there are clearly bullet holes in the wall behind Bond (which weren't there originally). So how did he fake his death without actually being hit?

    I always figured the bed had something bulletproof to line it, perhaps between the mattress and frame/wall?

    But there are bullet holes directly behind where Bond was lying. How did they get there without him being hit?

    Yeah, this one never quite made sense to me either. Moneypenny mentions that they fixed him up with the girl so presumably she was in on it. Perhaps the gunmen were in on it too and had some kind of special weapon from Q? Perhaps Q had modified the bed as well? I don't know. How about the police though? Were they in on it too? If not how could Bond stop his pulse to make them think that he was dead? Another Q gadget? It's all crazy I tell you.

    There was blood on the bed. Maybe it is the bed that is heavily gadgeted? Fake blood, small explosives giving illusion of bullet holes, etc.

    It's almost as if MI6 employed a Hollywood special effects team to create the illusion..... :-)

    I immediately read duck and fake together just then and it almost gave me an entirely different word

    @Willy, I don't believe 'dake' is a word. ;)

    I was going to add that to my last comment but I just knew someone else wouldn't be able to resist that gag

    Why didn't Bond just jump out of the helicopter when it very close to the roof top?

    Because he wanted to nail Blofeld's ass
