No, in Dr. No the car explodes after it goes halfway down the cliff.  In Goldfinger the car explodes the instant that it goes off of the cliff.  An honest mistake since both scenes were so similar.  I will talk about it in my Goldfinger thread if you promise to grace me with your presence in it.

Either way, it explodes too soon. And even then, cars don't explode if they fall from great height. Although I don't want to single out Bond movies for sticking to the myth of exploding cars.

I'll post in the Goldfinger thread, because that's a Bond movie I have watched. I have seen some more than others and a few not at all. And others I might have watched, but don't remember anymore.

I could point out several things in Bond movies that wouldn't happen in real life, but that's part of their charm.  One of my favorites is in Thunderball where he takes the jet pack off and casually throws it into the trunk of his Aston Marin.  His hands would have been burnt to a crisp touching that metal tubing which would have been scalding hot.  Also, the trunk of the car would have been toast.
