Antartica is certainly a location that would lend itself to some unusual scenery.

Has Bond ever been in Los Angeles? I can't recall.

He's briefly passed through in both the films DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER and A VIEW TO A KILL, but I don't think he's actually been there in the actual city, just the international airport in both instances I think.

Salzburg, The perfect Bond location.
[/quote]

yes, you're right. The city of SALZBURG would definitely be the perfect bond-location!.

You may wanna check this out.

I've only just realised that Bond had breifly gone there in Nobody Lives Forever

Patagonia, Argentina. Bond mixing it up with the Gauchos could be interesting.

I think the skeleton coast in Namibia would be an exciting place for Bond to visit. What do you think?

[Critch]

Memphis, maybe I can get a walk-on..

[Jericho_One]

In and around Eurasia, Anatolia and the Middle East. In the Middle East, some action scenes in busy street markets and here:

Never mind the Indiana Jones connections. I guess it would be kind of cool to see in film some kind of world criminal organization (Not unlike SPECTRE) secretly based on Petra, Jordania (underground, perhaps), with some of the action scenes taking place there.
Seems like the perfect place - high rock walls, deep passes, difficult to reach, and with a vast history behind it.

Welcome to the CBn forums, whatisthematrix.

Yeah I agree. Recently saw some of the scenery on a TV programme. Looked amazing. Could totally imagine some sort of Bondesque chase across the coast. I'd love to see Bond actually in Africa, especially given the fact that they were originally planning to use South Africa for CASINO ROYALE. Guess there is a problem with accessibility in some parts of Africa, but perhaps Tunisia is a possible North African destination.

Cuba: Maybe a PTS where bond has to get into the US undetected and chooses to get a boat from cuba. Kind of like in the book FYEO except from the south!
African Jungle: Wouldn't it be cool if James was stuck in a remote part of the world being hunted by some evil organztion as sport.
Luxumburg: What a cool little country

[Jericho_One]

South Seas?

How about the Burj Al Arab hotel in dubia. Stunning visualy!

Patagonia, Argentina. Bond mixing it up with the Gauchos could be interesting.

Would love to see Bond down on the pampas. Could even participate in a game of horseback polo.

[Gri007]

I live near a cement works and go there reguarly with work. I always think that could be used as location. Could be dubbed as a Dimaond mine.

I was there the other day, and it was sunny and not a single cloud in the sky. It reminded me so much of the diamond mine in DAF. There could be some good action scenes.

Men drwoning in slurry mixes is good way of death.

I also went to Suffolk and went to a beach that was under contruction.

They were dredding sand from the sea bed and pumping it onto the beach. Lorrys and diggers were floating about. Reminded me abit of CR, but still some good action scenes.

Sand boarding???

Wind Turbine farm could be possable location aswell.

[Vauxhall]

Interestingly enough a cement works in Chinnor was used in DIE ANOTHER DAY to double for parts of the North Korean minefield. Would be cool to see the location used as an actual cement works though!

I also have a feeling that we may see a sandy location in BOND 22, well I hope so at least! Sand-boarding may work, and that may fit in well with one of my preferred locations - Dubai. They could perhaps use the dunes of the desert in the United Arab Emirates. It would make a change.

[Gri007]

Didn't realise sand boadring existed. I thought I just made it up.

Cement works idea.

It could be used as platinum smuggling operation or something.

[Vauxhall]

Didn't realise sand boadring existed. I thought I just made it up.

Haha Yup, fraid it does exist!! I just had a quick search to make sure it did indeed. Check it out here: www.sandboard.com

There are also a few good location ideas on the site.

It is exists and it's great fun! The only problem is that there don't tend to be lifts back up the dune, so every time you go down, you have to clamber back up.

Good find Vauxhall. Seems very 'Bondish'

How so?

I'll second the South America/Africa/Australia contingent, and add China. He's never been there in the films.

I'd also be interested in seeing him in Germany again. The castle Neuschwanstein would make a neat location.

This sounds really stupid but what about Blackpool i could just imagine Bond and the villain having a fight ontop of the tower

[ShySmile]

I'm Aussie so I strongly suggest the following:

- The Great Barrier Reef, Nth Queensland
- Uluru/Alice Springs, Northern territory (some may remember from Raymond Benson's 'Zero Minus Ten'
- Coastal South Australia (full of Great White sharks)

Tristan Da Cuhna

It's the most isolated island in the world.

Check out the 'Islands tour' link.


Failing that I'd like to see Bond go to Norway, Canada or Australia

That pic reminds me of the "long way down" level in EoN - it looks like the nanotech facility
