If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.
We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

Bond sails away immediately after the island explodes.
Phang Nga bay. The same location was re-used in “Tomorrow Never Dies”: the helicopter shot in that film shows the junk sailing left to right against this backdrop, then flies around to show the junk sailing right to left against the vista seen when Bond flies in (capture 34).
