Moonraker Location/Set Question

Hi - I know the cable car crash scene is on set (obviously), but when Bond is walking up the steps/to the “7-Up” cable car house for his cable car ride from Urca to the top of Sugarloaf; was that filmed on location, or was that entire sequence on set also ? Thanks !

Welcome to CBn!

Yes, the station on the bottom and on top of Sugarloaf were done on Location in January of '79 along with a few shots in the cable car with Bond & Holly when it stops.

Most of the film was shot on location wasn’t it?

Great - thanks. I wasn’t sure, since the large rocks in the water (behind Bond, as he’s walking up the stairs) don’t seem to be there anymore (maybe the Rio Parks Department moved them lol)
