Filming Location 'Live and Let Die' - New York, NY - James Bond - 007 on Waymarking.com

"Live and Let Die" (1973), starring Roger Moore as famous secret agent James Bond in his first outing in the role was filmed partially in New York City.

In the film, after the killings of three agents from Mi6, Bond is sent to New York. The murders are linked to Kananga, Prime minister of an Island in the Caribbean, San Monique, who is currently visiting the United Nations. After arriving with Pan Am, CIA agent Charlie picks up Bond at J.F.K airport. They're driving along Franklin D. Roosevelt drive when Whisper comes along in his Cadillac (referred to as a 'pimpmobile' several times in the movie) and assassinates Charlie.

CIA Agent Felix Leiter later informs Bond that the Cadillac is registered to a shop on 33 east 65th street, called the "Oh Cult Voodoo" shop.

Surprisingly the address used in the movie is the actual address of the filming location. You can still find the building and some key details of it remain unchanged like the decorative elements over the door. Today the address of the voodoo shop houses "Samuel Shriqui Salon." Next door is a restaurant called "Match Brasserie," which can also be seen in the film with an awning naming it "Elisabeth." In between you can find the door to an underground parking garage where you can see Whisper's Cadillac emerge in the film, followed by Bond.

Across the street is a "Givenchy" store, visible in the film as "First Federal Savings."
