Wanted!

or.. help needed, because that is mainly what this page is about.

Even in this age, where you can find virtually anything with a push on the button, there are certain locations that we labelled 'unfindable'. Locations that are hardly recognizable in the films, locations even unknown to the people who worked on the films. 'But what about the call sheets?', you might wonder. Normally, locations are mentioned on the production call sheets. But sometimes, for reasons unknown, this information is incomplete or simply incorrect. And that's where you come in.

This can be your challenge. If you are up to it, perhaps you can help us identify the following Bond locations that have puzzled us for years.. If you have information that could help us, please use the form all the way at the bottom of this page. Thanks for your help!

1 GOLDFINGER Convoy departs

Missing location from Goldfinger

In the 1964 Bond film Goldfinger, a convoy departs for Fort Knox, after Pussy's pilots dropped nerve gas on the area. This scene was most likely filmed around the real Fort Knox, since other scenes with this exact convoy (note that different vehicles were used for the USA filmed and UK filmed convoy) were filmed there as well. Plus, the steering wheels seem to be on the left, which makes another strong case for a US location, rather than a UK location.


2 FOR YOUR EYES ONLY Lotus explosion

In For Your Eyes Only, the explosion of the Lotus was filmed in Corfu, but I have not been able to figure out where. Especially the two behind-the-scenes shots seem to point to an open area, an old quarry or something similar. There is an old quarry just a few meters from the entrance of Danilia Village, and here we can see the Lotus drive by, so it has been present in that area. So it could definitely have been filmed over there..


FOUND! FOR YOUR EYES ONLY Greek hotel

The Greek hotel Bond and Melina stay in remains a mystery. For Your Eyes Only (1981)

For many, many years, the search was on for Bond's hotel in For Your Eyes Only, and I seriously doubted it was an actual location, Until 2026, when Thomas Gleitsmann discovered it for the German Bond Club tour of Corfu. It is a genuine location, in Corfu, as the image above clearly demonstrates. It can be found in Gouvia.

Up until 2021, the hotel / resort was called Louis Corcyra Beach Hotel, and then it became the Corfu Dreams Resort. It currently operates as the Hyatt Ziva Resort.

FOUND! DR. NO  Bond's Jamaican hotel 

In Dr. No (1962), the 'three blind mice' or beggars try to assassinate 007 when he enters his hotel. But where was this filmed? The actors playing the three hitmen were only used in scenes filmed in Kingston, so there's a good chance that this building was (or is) in Kingston as well. Can anyone help? Thanks to Dave Worrall we can now reveal that this scene was shot at the Courtleigh Manor House, a hotel in Kingston that has been demolished.
