What famous places do you think Bond should visit in his movies. He has been everywhere on top of the Eiffle Tower to The pyramids. I think he should try The Statue of liberty. Although because of 9/11 i don't think that would be happening for a while.

The CN tower should be a villian's HQ. Someone could get struck by lightning on the big antenna.

That would be classic. Imagine the fall that would result because of this. You could have the villain landing on Bond's (who is barely hanging onto the building, tied by a disentangling rope) car and smashing the whole top. Bond could look down at him and quip:
'That's a shame. Now i won't be able to take it thru the carwash.'

Oh and in reference to the actually topic The Laxey Wheel on The Isle Of Man and The Angel Of The North in Newcastle would be great places to see in a Bond film esp The Laxey Water Wheel... imagine the fight on that... holding on for dear life as the wheel turns the slippery surface of the wheel and the watery death for the henchman when he is drowned at the bottom!

When, or if, Bond eventually makes it to Sydney, both the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge might make decent backdrops.


My fan fic end with a helicopter chase across Sydney that culminates on the harbour Bridge and the Opera House

I would like to have Bond an a villain fight on top of or sliding down the side of the Bank of China Tower. It is a great Modern building that I think would be a great setting. Could you imagine Bond and a villain fighting as they slide down the slanted portion of the building. As a helicopter is flying below, it's twirling blades welcoming a victim. What do you think about that?


Maybe China would be a good backdrop for an upcoming movie... Communist regime, and I can picture an awesome scene with Bond riding a motorbike at high speed along the Great Wall, while being chased by a helicopter.

Go back to Fleming:

THE SEYCHELLES GROUP in the Indian Ocean

Fleming's depiction of it in THE HILDERBRAND RARITY is magnificant.



Didnt MI-2 already go to Sydney...Bond should lead...Not Follow.
