Ridiculous things in the movie that made you roll your eyes or laugh unintentionally.
For me, the fingerprint light board in the back of Tiffany Chase's closet. Because, you know, you always want to keep track of the fingerprints of everyone who comes into your home, people aren't always who they claim to be. I was laughing the whole scene. They could not have been serious.

I seem to recall that Circus Circus was a big deal in Vegas at the time.
shareBambi and Thumper crossed the line into parody territory, as did the moon-buggy sequence. But number one has to be the "death by mashed potatoes" scene early on (the yellow stuff in that tank was actually mashed potatoes). A guy sits up with a gun, covered with goo, only to be thwarted when Bond opens up a spigot, dumping more mashed potatoes on him. And it actually kills him. Oh, no! Not a semi-strong stream of runny yellow glop! Anything but that!
And, it may not be the most egregious unintentional laugh, but when the movie starts with Sean Connery looking at the camera, grinning, and saying "My name is Bond . . James Bond" it told me "they're not taking this seriously."
And, of course he says that in (almost) every movie, but in this case it happened so abruptly, with no context, that it seemed like pure fan service. "Hey, look at me . . I'm back, SC giving you more of what you like! Watch me say 'Bond . . James Bond' . . wasn't that cool? Check, please . . "
I haven't seen any of the older Bond movies in years, and this one in particular helped me appreciate the Craig films. They aren't perfect (though 2/4 are pretty damn good), but I have to say they're trying.

I have meddled with the primal forces of nature and I will atone.
Q not being knocked out with a cattle prod and hustled into the backroom on the orders of Ace Rothstein. Do you have any idea what the odds are of those machines all paying off the top prize at the same time? Ooops...guess I was thinking about another movie.
Seriously though, I think that there was a little too much daylight in the pipe that was buried underground.
My top 3-ish most ridiculous things:
3. The bad guys having a crematorium as a front, because you never know when you might have diamonds being smuggled in a corpse. Handy to have just in case.
2.a Hitmen dumping Bond at a construction site instead of just, oh I don't know, killing him.
2.b Nobody working on the pipeline notices an unconscious person lying in the pipe.
2.c The rat-zapper-bot breaks down several times a day in a pipeline that had only been laid that day.
1. The Mustang being able to flip from being on two wheels to the two wheels on the other side while going through a narrow alley.
Still thoroughly enjoy the movie though.
I forgot the Klaus Hergersheimer scene. Lucky for Bond apparently none of the scientists had met the real one.
If someone went into my work posing as me, I'm pretty certain my supervisor and co-workers would notice that I suddenly looked and sounded completely different.
When Maxie craps out and asks Lana Wood if she would like to go back to his place and she tells him to go take a nap and she'll see him next year.
shareThe room was rented and rigged for a one time meet. Try to think a little bigger when you're contemplating action on the level of Bond villains, ok?
