Quantum of Solace (2008) was filmed at 2 places in the United Kingdom and Spain: Madrid and Pinewood Studios. Every place comes from Wikidata.
Part of the James Bond film series · the Eon James Bond series
Left off on purpose. Not a shoot: The Wikipedia article for this production names Bolivia in the part this atlas reads for filming locations, and this atlas does not show it. Bolivia is the setting the film gives its second half. The article says Panama doubled for Haiti and Bolivia and the desert scenes were shot in the Antofagasta Region of Chile; nothing was filmed in Bolivia. Source.
