Yes, they're *very* over-used.
I do hope, however that we get to see a Train or railroad incident, only Octopussy stands out from years back as any real tangible drama played out on screen.
Got to give a shout out to the fight with Robert Shaw and Bond, it didn't last long but at the time was maybe the highlight for some that went to see the movie.
must add that I've never heard the line 'crawl over here and kiss my foot' uttered again since the release. :-??

EDIT: Another car chase then, I sure hope this time it'll be good. Let's hope the train situation is sorted on Monday.
I worry India, South Africa and China may be a bit much for one film. What a mish-mash of locations. What plot could on Earth send Bond there?
And just for more action, are we still getting that Great Wall of China motorcycle chase?
By joe, does that too much action again?...
actually i would love to see some indian kung fu being used in the film...
Bond sitting down to a Rajastani/Punjabi Feast would be feast would be awesome.
The other thing is the budget: $135m. That's less than Casino Royale. Lets hope its a "real", down to earth, yet escapist, adventure. :D
Bond is involved in breaking up a spy ring, like Anna Chapman and the Illegals Program, but with Chinese spies instead of Russian. The Chinese government agrees to a prisoner swap, with South Africa being chosen as a neutral location. Bond is sent to escort the spies to their Chinese handlers, whilst picking up the British agent incarcerated in China. He learns that the Chinese are running some kind of operation in India, which involves flooding the market with Burmese sapphires to drive the price down and weaken the regime in Rangoon, who rely on sapphire exports. This is part of a plan to drive a "dangerous criminal" out of hiding in Myanmar by putting pressure on the regime. In reality, this "dangerous criminal" is actually another British spy, one who escaped the Chinese years ago and has knoweldge of a plan by the Chinese government to do ... something.
i love the way bond 23 is shaping up
I just hope that this action sequence is as good, nay great as the train stunts featured in Octopussy.
Still it's got my interest in Bond 23 to 'excited' level. Which is a big boost from 'Meh' level.

Ahmedabad? I have been to India and one of our workers called it "Ahmed is bad" and it is rather an industrial city. Which may be right for an action scene.
Places like Jaipur, Jasialmer and Pushkar are more scenic though.
And CR had 6 locations, and it didn't come anywhere close of the epic scope of MR. So CR is a total failure in the locations department - it has too many locations, yet doesn't succeed in being epic, and it's Bournified to the extreme.
