I'm down here in south Louisiana and now that I'm one of the lucky ones to own a Glastron-Carlson I wanted to find the areas where the boat chases were filmed. I know exactly where a few spots are. Some websites have the jump location listed with wrong road. My grandmother lives 20 minutes from the shipyard where the boat blew up. I've been on the Irish Bayou mentioned by the police in the movie.
I did notice that in the scene after the famous jump that he is in the GT with the outboard. They switch cameras and when they are back to Bond, he's in a different boat with an I/O and it's brown/gold metal flake, not the orange GT. Now, this is before the OB dies from the bullet hole and he takes the boat from the old guy sitting in his yard. Now he's in the boat that they spliced in for about 5 or so seconds when he was supposed to be in the GT.
Got to love movie goofs.
Planning a Christmas day run in the boat while visiting my grandmother. She's just 15 minutes from a bayou that runs about 7 - 9 miles and opens up to the north shore of Lake Pontchatrain, which is across from New Orleans. Temps are supposed to be 60 - 65 mid-day. Think I'll take mom out for her first ride in the CVX.
