Goof of all goofs

Maybe I'm missing something here but there's a huge mistake in the Diamonds are forever movie. Bond hides in the back of the panel van which descends in a lift into the top secret underground research facility. He does his radiation shield stuff etc and gets rumbled.
He steals the moon buggy and drives out through the wall!!! And hey presto, he's back above ground.
At no point is he seen to go back up.
Am I imagining this?
New to forum so quite happy to be shown as a fool.

    Welcome, @Auricolla. I don't know but the moderators may find a thread that is already there and move your contribution, so be prepared as it's not meant to be unfriendly. Anyway, I don't think you're imagining it...but DAF is riddled with that kind of stuff 😒, starting, but not nearly limited to the Mustang car chase (flipping sides within a narrow alley) and a precise repetition of several of Sir Donald Munger's lines explaining the situation about the South African connection to Bond. With this competition, plus that of another 24 Bond movies, your thread title may appear somewhat hyperbolic...😉.

    The whole film is a goof if you ask me.

    Not a goof, just unseen events. Like an elevator ride or stair climb happening off-screen.

    Why did we never see James Bond going to the toilet? These films are so unrealistic.

    For a super classy suave secret agent, we actually see Bond in the bogs a surprising amount of times, I'd say.

    That's true. We (mercifully) just don't see what he gets up to in there. It reminds me of the time that Evelyn Waugh sent Ian Fleming a toilet roll along with an ironic note asking to see more of Bond's other bodily functions. :D

    That's right, but secret agents (and other action heros) only go into the toilets for two reasons, either to exchange. pick up or drop off information / ransoms etc, or to fight henchmen / clean themselves up after fighting henchmen.

    Speaking of Jame Bond toilets...
