Kowalski ◊ 2004-11-29 02:16	Mercedes-Benz 350 SEL W116.
tata ◊ 2004-11-30 19:16	dans james bond, les méchants on touvours eu des mercedes
Kowalski ◊ 2005-09-28 16:24	Accordingly with this source: Link to "www.hampstead.com.au" The car was a 280 SE (Short Wheel Base). It was sad to see, such beauty to go over the cliff and end upside down. I think they should have used a Citroen DS instead or maybe a 1970's Volvo Estate... I think this is one of the few scenes, where a car hits the bottom of a cliff and it don't explode, most of films, where a car goes over a cliff or simply rollover, the car always explodes.
antp ◊ 2005-09-28 20:03	No, not a DS
Kowalski ◊ 2005-09-28 21:23	Quote No, not a DS OK, how about a VW Kombi...or a Fiat 131...Volvo 240 Estate...
antp ◊ 2005-10-30 21:47	An extra picture: Actually it is not a 280 or a 350, but a 450 SEL, at least in the scene where Bond hits the car with his gun:
Ralph ◊ 2006-04-22 19:44	On the first picture is a 280 SE or 280 S, also on the second. I have ownd the same car for a long time.
antp ◊ 2006-04-22 19:51	So they used multiple cars?
Sammy J. E. ◊ 2006-05-03 18:07	Ralph wrote On the first picture is a 280 SE or 280 S, also on the second. I have ownd the same car for a long time. How do You spot the different models from outside if the vehicles are debadged or fake badged? Doesn´t a 280S look exactly the same as 450SE chassiwise? SEL-models of course are longer than SE. -- Last edit: 2006-05-03 18:08:30
joonas222 ◊ 2006-10-24 18:27	it is 280 se or 450 sel -- Last edit: 2006-10-24 18:27:53
TheHeartbreakKid15 ◊ 2007-11-17 22:37	antp wrote So they used multiple cars? Yeah they were different locations so i'd say they did
Kooshmeister ◊ 2008-03-17 19:22	Yeah one was in Spain, the other in gosh I forget where, somewhere in Greece. Both cars were used by the assassin Locque, though, so either Locque just has a thing for Mercedes or he had his car from Spain brought to Greece.
mister car from 971 ◊ 2008-07-04 03:03	C'est vrai! C'est inoui que cette Merco n'ait pas pris feu après avoir fait des tonneaux en tombant de la falaise! Et c'est tant mieux! Mais c'est vraiment dommage que les scénaristes de ce James Bond l'aient détruite! Honte à eux! Détruire une si belle Merco des 70's! Un véritable sacrilège!
mister car from 971 ◊ 2008-07-04 03:04	PS:Où sont les images de la Merco tombant de la falaise?
mister car from 971 ◊ 2008-07-04 03:11	Au fait, j'aimerais ajouter que Rien que pour vos yeux n'est pas le seul film au monde où l'on peut voir une voiture tomber d'une falaise et s'écraser au fond de celle-ci sans qu'elle n'explose! Ce fut le cas auparavant dans La Grande Menace (1978) où l'on voit une voiture des années 30 tomber du haut d'une falaise en Angleterre et s'écraser non loin de la mer sans qu'elle ne s'enflamme! Mais elle fut complètement détruite après cette horrible chute! Et ce sera le cas une quinzaine d'années plus tard dans La Jurée (1996) où, à moment donné, James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano, pour qui ceux ne le savent pas) envoie une Cadillac Sedan DeVille bleue datant de la fin des 70's ou du début des 80's au fond d'une falaise et cette dernière n'a pas pris feu! Et pour cause: le véhicule est tombé dans l'eau après cette dégringolade!
G-MANN ◊ 2008-10-08 17:26	Used by Locque (Michael Gothard). When it ends up teetering over a cliff, Bond kicks it over, avenging the deaths of all those Locque killed. "He had no head for heights." -- Last edit: 2008-10-08 18:11:05
G-MANN ◊ 2008-10-08 17:27	To end this debate, the 450SEL badge can be seen in the scene this car first appears as well as the scene later on. -- Last edit: 2008-10-08 17:27:59
Kowalski ◊ 2012-04-18 14:45	If he were driving the 6.9 V8 he would have escaped. Anyway, kicking Locque's teetering Merc off the cliff was Roger Moore's only ruthless moment as James Bond. Still a waste of a nice car, though. They could have destroyed the lesser 280 S model instead. -- Last edit: 2012-04-18 14:47:26
Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-04-18 15:53	Kowalski wrote kicking Locque's teetering Merc off the cliff was Roger Moore's only ruthless moment as James Bond... Can't agree - he hit Maud Adams in face in "The Man With Golden Gun", thrown out from the boat the kid, who helped him to start the engine (same film) and finally(!), in "The Spy Who Loved Me", he pushed from the roof the guy, despite he told him everything what was able to tell (I mean the one, who grabbed him by the tie). Sadist, not Bond!
Nightrider ◊ 2012-04-18 16:01	Weasel1984 wrote ...he hit Maud Adams in face... It was okay.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-04-18 16:24	He had ruthless look in this moment.
Nightrider ◊ 2012-04-18 19:23	Come on, special special agent is supposed to be ruthless!
ingo ◊ 2012-04-18 21:54	G-MANN wrote To end this debate, the 450SEL badge can be seen in the scene this car first appears as well as the scene later on. But the car on the main pic and the car, thrown from the cliff, isn't one. For sure a shorter SE, if you note the length of the back door.
Kowalski ◊ 2012-04-19 14:15	Weasel1984 wrote Can't agree - he hit Maud Adams in face in "The Man With Golden Gun", Not much worse than being shot in the heart by Scaramanga. Weasel1984 wrote thrown out from the boat the kid, who helped him to start the engine (same film) He actually saved the kid from getting into a serious stituation. Imagine if a gun fight ensued during the boat chase. Would you be OK with the kid getting shot? Weasel1984 wrote and finally(!), in "The Spy Who Loved Me", he pushed from the roof the guy, despite he told him everything what was able to tell (I mean the one, who grabbed him by the tie). Sadist, not Bond! Nothing wrong with that. Come to think of it, kicking Locque's Mercedes off a cliff was Moore's second ruthless moment as Bond. -- Last edit: 2012-04-19 17:21:14
ingo ◊ 2012-04-19 21:06	More ruthless und unscrupolos than James Bond are the makers of him: all these monstrously cobbled license-plates -in ALL Bond-movies- are inexcusable
Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-04-21 19:58	Kowalski wrote Not much worse than being shot in the heart by Scaramanga. Scaramanga was a villain (and some kind of mutant), so hard to compare them. Kowalski wrote Imagine if a gun fight ensued during the boat chase. Would you be OK with the kid getting shot? No. Ok, I felt this one can be debatable. Anyway definitely not so innocent guy.
