HONG KONG BOND

IN 1974’S The Man with the Golden Gun, James Bond (Roger Moore) travels to Hong Kong to track down evil assassin Scaramanga. He visits, among other places, The Peninsula hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui’s venerable (and no longer existing) Bottoms Up girlie bar, and the wreck of RMS Queen Elizabeth, which lay abandoned in Victoria Harbour between 1972 and 1975 – but in the movie was the Hong Kong headquarters of MI6.

Meanwhile, 2002’s Die Another Day sees Pierce Brosnan’s Bond swim to freedom and haul himself onto land next to the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club – but in fact the scene was shot on a London sound stage.
