James Bond 007: Nightfire – 02 – The Exchange [PART 1/2]
This is a video I have been working on for the past 3 months on my own spare time. I wanted to make something to show respect to the previous James Bond because he was the first Bond I ever saw, knew, and grew up with. And although the stories, scripts, and other aspect to his movies were not the best, he always played Bond to his fullest and I for one will miss him. Hope you all enjoy.

Sorry it took me so long to get this video back up and running. Hope you all enjoy.
The pre-title sequence finds Bond at a Swiss bank in Bilbao, Spain, retrieving a large sum of money that belongs to Sir Robert King, a British oil tycoon and personal friend of M. Upon arrival in London, King is killed by a bomb inside MI6 Headquarters; the recovered money had been rigged to explode, detonated by King’s lapel pin. Bond immediately hastens to catch the perpetrator—the cigar girl from the Swiss Bank in Bilbao—in a boat on the Thames. The chase ends at the Millennium Dome, where the assassin attempts to escape via hot air balloon. Bond offers MI6′s protection in return for her cooperation, but she refuses and detonates the balloon, killing herself in the process. Bond lets go of the safety line, falling a short distance onto the dome and sustaining a fractured collarbone as he tumbles down the side. After attending King’s funeral in Scotland, Tanner informs Bond that he is off active duty until he is cleared by a physician. Bond earns his reinstatement in classic Bond fashion (having sex with his female doctor), then sets out to learn who was behind King’s assassination. He traces the recovered money to Renard, a KGB agent-turned-terrorist. Following an earlier attempt on his life by MI6, Renard was left with a bullet lodged in his brain; the bullet is gradually killing off Renard’s senses, effectively making him immune to pain, although the bullet will eventually kill him. M assigns Bond to protect King’s daughter, Elektra; as Renard previously abducted and …
Filming commenced in Hong Kong on November 6, 1973, and continued in Macau, Bangkok, and Phuket. Studio work including Scaramanga’s solar energy plant and island interior were filmed at Pinewood Studios. The canal scene where Bond disables the dojo’s boat was filmed in Thon Buri, Thailand. Stunt driver “Bumps” Williard[6] (as James Bond) driving an AMC Hornet leaps a broken bridge and spins around 360 degrees in mid-air, doing an “aerial twist”. The stunt was shown in slow motion as the scene was too fast. Willard was paid £30000 for the stunt, which was held under EON Productions copyright for several years afterward. The British show Top Gear attempted to repeat the stunt in June 2008,[10] but failed. The stunt was conceived of after a crew member discovered a physics simulation at Cornell University in New York predicting the theoretical possibility of such a stunt. Numerous calculations were created by Cornell, since they at the time had one of world’s most powerful computers, to analyze the stunt and develop the ramp systems, prepare weight distribution in the car, and otherwise prepare for the stunt. The scenes featuring the island hideout of Scaramanga were filmed in Phang Nga Province in Thailand, northeast of Phuket on the island of Ko Khao Phing Kan (Thai: เกาะเขาพิงกัน) and the adjacent Ko Tapu (Thai: เกาะตะปู). Scaramanga’s hideout is on Ko Khao Phing Kan, and Ko Tapu is often now referred to as James Bond Island both by locals and in tourist guidebooks.[11 …
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) is the tenth spy film in the James Bond series, and the third to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It was directed by Lewis Gilbert and the screenplay was written by Christopher Wood and Richard Maibaum. The film takes its title from the tenth novel in Ian Fleming’s James Bond series, though as Ian Fleming requested that only the title of the novel be used, the film does not contain any elements of the novel The Spy Who Loved Me.[1] The storyline involves a reclusive megalomaniac named Stromberg who plans to destroy the world and create a new civilisation under the sea. Bond teams up with a Russian agent Anya Amasova to stop Stromberg. The Spy Who Loved Me was highly acclaimed by critics.[2] The soundtrack, composed by Marvin Hamlisch, also met tremendous success. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards amidst many other nominations and subsequently novelised in 1977 by Christopher Wood as James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me. The film was shot at the Pinewood Studios in London, Porto Cervo in Sardinia (Hotel Cala di Volpe), Egypt (Mosque of Ibn Tulun, Gayer-Anderson Museum), Malta, Scotland, Okinawa, Switzerland and Mount Asgard on Baffin Island in the then northern Canadian territory of Northwest Territories (now located in Nunavut). In March 1976, construction began of a new sound stage at Pinewood, the 007 Stage. To complement this stage, EON also paid for building a water tank capable of storing approximately …
