@inforockasecca thanks for your post!

[badturkali]

is this where goldeneye was shot ?

[luckylaika]

yes badturkali, the dam was part of the opening scene of the 1995 James Bond film Goldeneye, in which James Bond jumps off the top of the dam in an attempt to gain access to the heavily guarded Russian chemical weapons factory below, reaching a speed of up to 120mph during his eight-second freefall down the studded concrete wall. Today, this is the biggest bungee jump in the world.
