James Bond in Hong Kong: Roger Moore Arrives in City in 1974 to Film Scenes for the Man with the Golden Gun
By Alexander Ross
Out of the seven actors who officially played James Bond, only one actually visited Hong Kong to bring Ian Fleming’s iconic British spy to life on the big screen – Roger Moore.
In the 1974 movie The Man with the Golden Gun, James Bond travels from Beirut to Macau, and then to Hong Kong. The film includes scenes shot at The Peninsula, the Bottoms Up girlie bar in Tsim Sha Tsui and the wreck of the RMS Queen Elizabeth in Victoria Harbour.
In these pictures from the South China Morning Post’s archives, we look back at the time Roger Moore visited Hong Kong in 1974 when filming the movie.
