Places whose own article says it was shot there
3 places whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

Beachy Head England
“The cliff appears in the opening sequence of the 1987 James Bond film The Living Daylights, in which Bond (portrayed for the first time by Timothy Dalton) parachutes from a Land Rover which drives off the top of the cliff in a scene scripted as being in Gibraltar.” Wikipedia
-
Vienna Volksoper Austria
“In 1987, the Volksoper was shown in the James Bond movie The Living Daylights, doubling for a fictional "Ľudové konzervatorium" ("People's Conservatory" - direct translation of "Volksoper" into Slovak) in Bratislava, as Czechoslovakia was still under Communist rule at the time; the interior was, however, filmed at Sofiensaal.” Wikipedia
-
Stonor Park England
“Stonor has been used as a filming location including The Pumaman (1980), "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage" (1980), The Living Daylights (1987), Danny, the Champion of the World (1989), the final episode of One Foot in the Grave (2000), Endeavour (2019), A Christmas Carol (2019), and Antiques Roadshow (2020).” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Austria, California, Morocco, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable (a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote), so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
Its Wikipedia article also names Russia as where this film was shot, without naming a place inside that could be pinned. That is prose rather than a Wikidata statement, and it is labelled here as such rather than guessed at.
