Trivia: There's a bit of discrepancy on WHO Col. Boitier is. In the credits, he's listed as Col. Boitier (which would be pronounced "Bwa-tee-ay"). On the soundtrack, his name is said as it would be if it was spelled "Bouvoir." In addition, Sean Connery uses his first name "Jed," while Blofeld calls him "Jacques" in announcing his death ("by an unknown assassin") at the SPECTRE "board" meeting.

Chalk it up to the blisteringly fast post-production of "Thunderball," which produced different versions (with alternate music cues), some dodgy dubbing, and more than a few continuity errors.
