Does every James Bond movie end with James and the Bond girl in a boat, submarine, or other ocean-going vessel? AMC is having a 007 festival, and there seems to be a pattern. ---

No. _Casino Royale_ ends with everybody doing the Twist in Heaven. Or maybe the Mashed Potato. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. ---

If I recall _Goldfinger_ ended with them on a desert island. ---

Not all of them. Goldfinger, for instance, ends with Bond & Pussy having crashed Goldfinger’s plane on an island somewhere. Live and Let die ends with Bond & Bond Girl on a train. The Living Daylights ends with Bond attending a concert, etc. ---

Moonraker - Bond in a space shuttle attempting re-entry. The World Is Not Enough - Bond having Christmas in Turkey. ---

I don’t know, the plane is definitely shown crashing into _water_ at the end. Maybe their somewhere on Long Island, or the Jersey shore. 🙂 ---
