Many James Bond films were shot on
location in Jamaica.
“Dr. No” starring Sean Connery and Ursula Andress was filmed at Crab
Key, Ocho Rios. The opening scenes were filmed in Kingston, near
downtown Harbor Street. The shooting scene occurred at Queens Club, also
known as Liguinea Club, in Kingston. The private sports club and resort
is home to the Jamaican Squash Association. Another killing scene was
shot in North Kingston at the foot of the Blue Mountains. Some of the
other Jamaican locations in “Dr. No” included Norman Manley
International Airport near Palisadoes Road, the Governor General’s
Mansion at King’s House on Hope Road in Central Kingston, the waterfront
at Morgan’s harbor in Port Royal, Couples San Souci in Ocho Rios,
Laughing Waters/Roaring River, the bauxite mine on Crab Key and the
mangrove swamp in Falmouth where Bond and Honey were captured in the
Dragon tank.
“Live and Let Die” starring Roger Moore, Yaphet Kotto and Jane
Seymour, was filmed at Couples San Souci in Ocho Rios, and a cemetery
set was built on Falmouth road north of Montego Bay for the shoot. A bus
chase was filmed on the Montego Bay-Lucea Highway. The wharf where Bond
and Rosie tried to board a yacht is located in Montego Bay, and the
restaurant scene was filmed at a bungalow in the Half Moon Bay Resort.
The crocodile farm in the film is actually “Swaby’s Swamp Safari” on
Forshore Road in Falmouth, a four- acre mangrove swamp that offers daily
guided tours to view the wetland’s wildlife.

Fleming’s gardener, Ramsey Dacosta, who still works at Goldeneye
(now
in guest relations) and invariably referred to Fleming as the Commander,
told me Mr Bond that, his old employer would bring conch to an
octopus at the reef, and, as in the short story, “the octopus would
return the shell.” Bond makes a brief appearance in “Octopussy” to
arrest Smythe for a wartime theft, but Smythe takes his own life, with
help from the octopus. Fleming died a much less dramatic death from a
heart attack in 1964 in England, where he is buried.
