Tom Cruise at a Beach Bar – Then and Now

Posted By Tom W. on May 20, 2014 in Beach Bars - Jamaica | 5 comments

I don’t know if Tom Cruise slinging drinks at a beach bar in the movie “Cocktail” was the inspiration for me to one day own my own beach bar but it would make a pretty cool story for the grand kids some day. The beach bar scenes were filmed at Dragon Bay Beach, Port Antonio in Jamaica. The beach bar is now called, what else, Cruise Bar. You can view a current photo of the beach bar here and here .

This clip features the classic tune “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” from Bobby McFerrin which, if I’m correct, was the first non-instrumental song to hit #1 on the Billboard charts.

This movie has always spoke to me too. Yea, a tropical getaway, meeting new tourists each day, making enough to live in paradise. Its coming! Where do we start?

Always working on it, Andy! We need to give them inspiration for a sequel. 🙂

I’ve been waiting along time for a cocktail 2 to come and grace the big screens.

I was just telling the story of how our ship the USS Antrim happened to be in Port during this filming. It was rumored that a couple of officers ended up as extras. Port Antonio is an amazing place.

Very cool memory, Bret! Thanks for sharing that with us!

Jamaica has long been a sought-after location for filmmakers and producers from around the world because of its unique and captivating environment, friendly local people and exotic settings. Every year, about 150 films are shot in the West Indies, and organizations like JAMPRO work to help film producers bring their projects to the screen.

Many James Bond films were shot on location in Jamaica.

“ Dr. No ” starring Sean Connery and Ursula Andress was filmed at Crab Key, Ocho Rios . The opening scenes were filmed in Kingston, near downtown Harbor Street. The shooting scene occurred at Queens Club, also known as Liguinea Club, in Kingston. The private sports club and resort is home to the Jamaican Squash Association. Another killing scene was shot in North Kingston at the foot of the Blue Mountains. Some of the other Jamaican locations in “Dr. No” included Norman Manley International Airport near Palisadoes Road, the Governor General’s Mansion at King’s House on Hope Road in Central Kingston, the waterfront at Morgan’s harbor in Port Royal, Couples San Souci in Ocho Rios, Laughing Waters/Roaring River, the bauxite mine on Crab Key and the mangrove swamp in Falmouth where Bond and Honey were captured in the Dragon tank.

“ Live and Let Die ” starring Roger Moore, Yaphet Kotto and Jane Seymour, was filmed at Couples San Souci in Ocho Rios, and a cemetery set was built on Falmouth road north of Montego Bay for the shoot. A bus chase was filmed on the Montego Bay-Lucea Highway. The wharf where Bond and Rosie tried to board a yacht is located in Montego Bay, and the restaurant scene was filmed at a bungalow in the Half Moon Bay Resort. The crocodile farm in the film is actually “Swaby’s Swamp Safari” on Forshore Road in Falmouth, a four- acre mangrove swamp that offers daily guided tours to view the wetland’s wildlife.

“ Cocktail ” starring Tom Cruise, Bryan Brown and Elizabeth Shue was filmed partly at Sangster’s International Airport in Montego Bay, while the beach bar scene was staged at Dragon Bay Beach in Port Antonio. The waterfall featured in the film is Reach Falls on the Drivers River,  inland from Manchoneal on the North Coast.

“ Legends of The Fall ” starring Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins and Aidan Quinn was filmed in St. Ann, Ocho Rios.

Both “ Papillon ” starring Steve McQueen, Dustin Hoffman and Victor Jory, and ” 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea ” starring Kirk Douglas, James Mason and Paul Lukas, filmed cave and cliff scenes at the Xtabi Hotel in Negril .

Jamaica was also the location of other film shoots, including “ Cool Runnings ,” “One Love,” “ Shottas ,” ” Dance Hall Queen ” and “ Island in The Sun “. The movie “ Knight and Day ” starring Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise and Peter Sarsgaard was filmed partly on Frenchman’s Cove in Portland.

The famous “Rent-a-Rasta” Jamaican documentary, which describes sex tourism and the hedonistic behavior of white women on vacation was filmed at many of the major resorts on the North and South Coasts.

10 Stirring Facts About Cocktail

By roger cormier | jan 23, 2017.

One of cinema's greatest guilty pleasures, Cocktail starred Tom Cruise as Brian Flanagan, a young man who unexpectedly achieves some fame as a "flair bartender" in New York City along with his mentor, Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown). Brian eventually takes his bottle-flipping skills down to Jamaica, where he falls for Jordan (Elisabeth Shue), a vacationing artist. Here are some facts about the Tom Cruise staple, in accordance with Coughlin's Law.

1. BRIAN FLANAGAN WAS ALMOST TWICE AS OLD IN THE BOOK.

Yes, Cocktail was originally a novel; it was written by Heywood Gould, and based on the dozen years he spent bartending to supplement his income as a writer. Whereas Tom Cruise's Brian Flanagan is in his twenties, Gould's protagonist was described as a "38-year-old weirdo in a field jacket with greasy, graying hair hanging over his collar, his blue eyes streaked like the red sky at morning." As Gould told the Chicago Tribune , "I was in my late 30s, and I was drinking pretty good, and I was starting to feel like I was missing the boat. The character in the book is an older guy who has been around and starting to feel that he's pretty washed-up." Disney and Gould—who adapted his book for the screen—fought over making Brian Flanagan younger, with Gould eventually relenting .

2. THERE WERE AT LEAST 40 DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE SCRIPT.

The script went through a couple of different studios, and dozens of iterations. According to Gould , "there must have been 40 drafts of the screenplay before we went into production. It was originally with Universal. They put it in turnaround because I wasn't making the character likable enough. And then Disney picked it up, and I went through the same process with them. I would fight them at every turn, and there was a huge battle over making the lead younger, which I eventually did."

Bryan Brown explained that when Cruise came on board, the movie "had to change. The studio made the changes to protect the star and it became a much slighter movie because of it."

Kelly Lynch, who played Kerry Coughlin, was much more forthright about how Gould's vision for the story changed under Disney, telling The A.V. Club :

"[Cocktail] was actually a really complicated story about the ’80s and power and money, and it was really re-edited where they completely lost my character’s backstory—her low self-esteem, who her father was, why she was this person that she was—but it was obviously a really successful movie, if not as good as it could’ve been. It was written by the guy who wrote Fort Apache The Bronx, and it was a much darker movie, but Disney took it, reshot about a third of it, and turned it into flipping the bottles and this and that."

3. FOR A BRIEF SECOND, DISNEY WASN'T COMPLETELY SOLD ON TOM CRUISE IN THE LEAD.

Recounting the kind of story that only happens in Hollywood, Gould told the Chicago Tribune about one of his early meetings with Disney heads Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg. "Someone mentioned that this might be a good vehicle for Tom Cruise," Gould recalled. "Eisner says, 'He'll never do this, don't waste your time, he can't play this part.' And then Katzenberg says, 'Well, he's really interested in doing it,' and without skipping a beat Eisner says, 'He's perfect for it, a perfect fit!' That's the movie business: I hate him, I love him; I love him, I hate him!"

4. BRYAN BROWN'S AUDITION WAS "DREADFUL."

Director Roger Donaldson specifically wanted Bryan Brown to audition for the role of Doug. Brown flew from Sydney to New York and, almost immediately after his 20-plus-hour flight, was sitting in front of Donaldson. "He did the audition and he was dead tired and it was dreadful," Donaldson said . "After he did it I was like, ‘Bryan, do yourself a favor—we’ve got to do it again tomorrow.’ And he said, ‘No, no, I’m catching a plane back tonight.’ I couldn’t persuade him to stay and do it again, so I didn’t show anybody the audition." Instead, Donaldson told the producers and studio to watch Brown's performance in F/X (1986); clearly, they liked what they saw.

5. CRUISE AND BROWN PRACTICED THEIR FLAIR BARTENDING, AND USED REAL BOTTLES ON SET.

Los Angeles TGI Friday's bartender John Bandy was hired to train Cruise and Brown after he served a woman who worked for Disney who was on the lookout for a bartender for Cocktail . Bandy trained the two stars in the bottle-flipping routines , and Gould took Cruise and Brown to his friend's bar to show them the tricks they used to do . Donaldson claimed they used real bottles—and yes, they did break a few .

6. JAMAICA WASN'T KIND TO TOM CRUISE

The Jamaica exteriors were shot on location, where it was cold, and Cruise got sick. When he and Shue had to shoot a love scene at a jungle waterfall, it wasn't pleasant. "It’s not quite as romantic as it looks,” Cruise told Rolling Stone . “It was more like ‘Jesus, let’s get this shot and get out of here.’ Actually, in certain shots you’ll see that my lips are purple and, literally, my whole body’s shaking.”

7. THE FILM SCORE WAS ENTIRELY REWRITTEN IN A WEEKEND.

Three-time Oscar winner Maurice Jarre ( Lawrence of Arabia ) was Cocktail 's original composer, but the producers didn't think his score "fit in" with the story. They particularly didn't like one cue, so they called in J. Peter Robinson to fix it. Donaldson liked what Robinson did so much, that he asked the composer to take over and do the rest of the work. "All this was happening on a Friday," Robinson said . "I was starting another film on the following Monday and told Roger that I was going to be unavailable. 'We're print-mastering on Monday, mate!!' Roger said. So from that point on I stayed up writing the score and delivered it on Monday morning at around five in the morning."

8. "KOKOMO" WAS WRITTEN FOR THE MOVIE.

While it was The Beach Boys, by then minus Brian Wilson, that recorded the song which brought the group back into the spotlight, "Kokomo" was penned by John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas; Scott McKenzie, who wrote “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)”; producer Terry Melcher, Doris Day's son; and Mike Love. Phillips wrote the verses, Love wrote the chorus, and Melcher penned the bridge. The specific instructions were to write a song for the part when Brian goes from a bartender in New York to Jamaica. Off of that, Love came up with the "Aruba, Jamaica ..." part .

9. ROGER DONALDSON IS SORRY ABOUT "DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY."

Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" hit number one thanks to its inclusion on the Cocktail soundtrack. The director heard the song on the radio one day while driving to the set. “I heard it and thought it would be perfect for the film," he said . "And suddenly it was everywhere. Sorry about that."

10. THE REVIEWS—INCLUDING TOM CRUISE'S—WERE HARSH.

To conclude his two-star review, Roger Ebert wrote , "The more you think about what really happens in Cocktail, the more you realize how empty and fabricated it really is." Richard Corliss of TIME said it was "a bottle of rotgut in a Dom Perignon box."

In 1992, even Tom Cruise admitted that the movie "was not a crowning jewel" in his career. And Heywood Gould wasn't pleased with it at first either. "I was accused of betraying my own work, which is stupid," Gould said . "So I was pretty devastated. I literally couldn't get out of bed for a day. The good thing about that experience is that it toughened me up. It was like basic training. This movie got killed, and then after that I was OK with getting killed—I got killed a few more times since then, but it hasn't bothered me."

For a brief period in 1988, it began to feel like synchronised bartending was the coolest career option available thanks to Roger Donaldson ’s cautionary tale of choosing ambition over love.

Brian Flanagan ( Tom Cruise ), fresh out of the army, arrives in New York , via the inevitable Greyhound bus, with dreams of overnight riches.

There's not an auspicious start as he takes the subway to Vernon-Jackson Station in Queens to hook up with his only contact in the city, Uncle Pat who runs a local Irish pub in Long Island City .

‘Pat’s Place’ was a bar which stood at 10-37 Jackson Avenue on the corner of 50th Avenue. It's now unrecognisable – apart from the distinctive shape – after being spruced up as the hip Jackson's Eatery / Bar .

Despite Pat’s attempt to bring Brian down to earth, the aspiring tycoon has his sights firmly set on a career in Wall Street, or Madison Avenue, or ‘communications’…

He quickly discovers that he’s not remotely experienced enough to step straight into a high-end position and reluctantly settles for tending bar at night while studying during the day.

It’s more Brian’s charm and popularity with female customers than innate ability that get him a job from cynical Aussie Doug Coughlin ( Bryan Brown ) at the old TGI Friday bar on the East Side .

This stood at 1152 First Avenue at 63rd Street but the candy-striped awnings are long-gone and the premises now houses the Sherlock Holmes-themed Baker Street Pub .

For reasons of economy, the production was based in Toronto and the interior of the popular hangout was recreated in the studio here.

In Ontario too is ‘City College’ where Brian enrolls for a business course, which is Knox College at the University of Toronto .

Coughlin and Flanagan’s bottle juggling routine proves a great hit, oddly taking precedence over speedy service, and the pair are hired to tend bar at “the hottest saloon in town”.

The ‘town’, once again, is Toronto , where 'Cell Block', the blue-lit circular bar in which Brian flagrantly contravenes all manner of health and safety regulations by standing on the bar top to recite poetry, is the Rotunda of the Old Don Jail, 550 Gerrard Street East .

The Don Jail , east of the Don River in Toronto 's Riverdale neighbourhood, was built in 1864 as the Toronto Jail, with a capacity of 184 inmates. Before capital punishment was abolished in Canada , Toronto Jail was the site of twenty-six hangings, the last being as recently as 1962.

The Jail was renovated to serve as the administrative wing of Bridgepoint Active Healthcare in 2013, and its Rotunda is open to visitors.

Doug and Brian’s ambitious plans to open their own ‘Cocktails and Dreams’ establishment come to grief after a fist-swinging falling-out over the flirtatious and rich Coral ( Gina Gershon ).

Giving up on the dull business course, Brian heads to the West Indies for an apparently lucrative gig running a beach bar in Jamaica . The was the Dragon Beach Bar, Dragon Beach in Port Antonio , which went on to find fame under the name of, yes, the Cruise Bar. Sadly, it’s since closed.

You can still enjoy Dragon Beach itself and, a few miles east, you can visit Reach Falls , on the Drivers River , which is where Brian frolics with holidaying New Yorker Jordan Mooney ( Elizabeth Shue ).

In 2010, Tom Cruise returned to Port Antonio for the tropical island scene in Knight And Day , and you can see more of the town in the final Daniel Craig Bond movie, No Time To Die .

If you want to boogie the night away in the reggae-filled ‘Dance Cave’, well, that’s back in Toronto . This 'tropical' hideaway was filmed inside Lee’s Palace , 529 Bloor Street West .

Lee’s is also the rock venue where Sex Bob-omb perform in Edgar Wright ’s 2010 adaptation of Scott Pilgrim Vs The World .

A bad bet with Doug, who’s turned up on honeymoon with his wealthy new bride, leads Brian to enjoy a fling with the older – but rich, Bonnie ( Lisa Banes ).

Jordan, understandably humiliated, is on the first plane home, back to her job in a ‘New York’ diner.

Well, sort of. ‘Jerry’s Deli’, where she waits tables – and later gets to dump the day’s specials onto the contrite Brian, is the famous Lakeview Restaurant , 1132 Dundas Street West , Toronto .

This 24-hour eaterie dates back to 1932 and its period deco interior has appeared in Troy Duffy 's 1999 The Boondock Saints , the 2007 musical Hairspray , David Cronenberg 's 2012 Cosmopolis , with Robert Pattinson , and famously became 'Dixie Doug's', the faux-Southern pie restaurant in Guillermo Del Toro ’s Oscar-winning The Shape of Water .

Brian, now living with Bonnie back in New York , realises the terrible mistake he’s made. It’s outside a gallery alongside the old Regency Theatre, which stood at 1987 Broadway at West 68th Street in New York , that he drunkenly breaks up with her.

The Regency, which seems to be showing Casablanca , was indeed a rep house showing classic films. It closed in 1999 and the whole block has been rebuilt.

Jordan is in no mood to take Brian back but, after a wise word from Uncle Pat, he storms off to her family’s luxury apartment on – where else? – 'Park Avenue'.

That expansive lobby, where Brian has to get past the doorman, is actually that of the Canada Life Building, 330 University Avenue at Queen Street, in Toronto ’s Downtown core.

Once he gets up to the penthouse to confront Jordan’s father ( Laurence Luckinbill ), who tries to pay him off with a $10,000 cheque, the elegant blue and white living room is Lady Pellatt’s Suite in Casa Loma , 1 Austin Terrace at Spadina Road, on a bluff overlooking northern Toronto . The Suite has had a slightly warmer makeover than its clinical pale blue-and-white colour scheme in the film.

The mock-Gothic folly of Casa Loma has proved a real boon to the city’s film industry, featuring in countless productions, most famously as Professor Xavier’s Academy in Bryan Singer ’s first X-Men movie, but also in Scott Pilgrim Vs The World (again), David Cronenberg 's Dead Ringers , Keanu Reeves sci-fi Johnny Mnemonic , and Oscar-winning musical Chicago .

‘Hysteria’, the smart floating nightclub now run by Doug, is The Water Club , in a barge moored on the East River at East 30th Street , in New York 's Murray Hill .

Unless you want to hire the club, you've missed your chance for a romantic meal here. From 1982 to 2018, The Water Club operated as a restaurant but it's now used exclusively as a venue for private events.

Things are not going as well as they appear on the surface, and Brian finds himself hit by a dose of reality when he has to attend a funeral, held in St John’s Norway Cemetery , 256 Kingston Road at Woodbine Avenue, in Toronto . Picturesque and conveniently close to film studios, the cemetery has also been seen in Gus Van Sant 's 1995 To Die For , John Singleton 's Four Brothers , and Jim Sheridan 's Get Rich or Die Tryin' .

Movie Review | ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ – Setting the summer movie bar high

For the longest time Top Gun seemed a relic of a bygone ‘80s era. An action film with a cheesy title, grown men parading around with ridiculous nicknames, and an inexplicable volleyball scene. Yet by all accounts, Top Gun has stood the test of time, with its audience growing fonder of it as the years go by. With the original being so iconic, can its sequel recapture the magic?

With Top Gun: Maverick the answer is a resounding yes. The film is set 36 years since the original the film yet sees a returning Tom Cruise who looks to have aged only 10. Cruise’s Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell has burned too many bridges in the Navy, and his latest stunt sees him at risk of being grounded for good. His punishment is to train the next generation of elite pilots to pull off the most dangerous mission they’ve ever faced.

All that there is to love about Top Gun is present in the sequel. The new film is exceptionally good at setting stakes, while its plot is informed by its characters. As can be expected, Top Gun: Maverick is paced brilliantly and feels like the result of a fine-tuned effort. The only drawback to speak of is the film’s predilection for the predictable. Surprise may not be in store for the avid viewer, but as familiar as its beats may be, the execution of its story puts ‘Maverick’ a cut above the rest.

Not to mention the action is superb, helped in no doubt by the lead actor’s insistence that he and his co-stars undergo flight training for the film. Tom Cruise may very well be certifiable. His commitment to practical action may border on a debilitating obsession. He may be endangering himself and others in his pursuit of grounded action, but the end result is worth every penny.

Top Gun: Maverick is an exhilarating experience that more than makes up for the near four decades since the original film. The film knows exactly what it wants to be, giving a meaningful follow-up to the story of Top Gun while giving its new cast more than enough room to develop their characters. Top that off with some incredible action that puts the audience front and centre to the mayhem. The summer of 2022 may have just begun, but the bar is already set exceedingly high.

Putin rounds up illegal migrants to send to the frontline in Ukraine as Vladimir exploits Moscow massacre anti-migrant backlash to find more cannon fodder

Vladimir Putin is rounding up illegal migrants in Russia  to fuel his bloody invasion of Ukraine, just days after four Tajik nationals were charged over the Crocus terror attack in Moscow, with migrant groups left fearing bloody retaliation.

Paddy wagons sporting the National Guard insignia arrived at a vast online shopping warehouse in Elektrostal, Moscow today, where thousands of migrant workers were reportedly forced to show their documents.

Checks were carried out by armed and masked Russian guards and military enlistment officers, before at least 40 people were hauled away from the Wildberries warehouse.

More operations in kind are said to be planned, as Putin seeks more cannon fodder for his ongoing war in Ukraine.

It comes just days after the Crocus City Hall atrocity, which led to the deaths of at least 140 people after gunmen stormed a packed concert venue in the capital and indiscriminately targeted civilians before setting the building on fire.

A number of men from Tajikistan have since been detained in connection to the attacks, which have been claimed by jihadist group Islamic State. 

Friday's horror attack has been linked to a rise in tensions, with the BBC today reporting an increase in beatings and racism aimed at Central Asian migrants - and the embassy of Tajikistan in Russia warning citizens not to leave their homes unless necessary.

Critics fear the atrocity in Moscow last week is already leading to discriminatory behaviour towards migrants living in Russia

Some of the migrants detained today will reportedly face the choice of jail or expulsion - or fighting in Ukraine for Russia.

Migrants who have been granted Russian citizenship also express fears they may be called up.

'They check who is on the side of the military, and who is evading,' one said. 'Those who evade can be taken away against their will.'

'Whoever resists is beaten with sticks by the riot police,' said another worker.

A further 38 employees of the warehouse will undergo additional checks with law enforcement to 'clarify' information gathered already, the Wildberries company told state-owned news agency RIA.

It came a day after Putin spoke on the urgency of bringing the 'migration sphere ... under control' at a meeting with the board of the Prosecutor General's Office, RIA noted.

Putin reportedly ordered that measures be handled 'professionally and competently' to 'facilitate the adoption of legal, informed and fair decisions'.

Still, critics fear the atrocity in Moscow last week is already leading to discriminatory behaviour towards migrants living in Russia.

In Novgorod region, it has been prohibited to hire foreign workers in the transport sector.

State Duma deputy Dmitry Gusev has also called for a complete 'audit' of all labour migrants living in the country - as well as those who have recently received Russian citizenship.

In Moscow, a 29-year-old woman from Yakutia was surrounded by a hostile mob on the metro and subjected to vile racist abuse. 

'Get the **** out of here,' she was told - even though she is a Russian citizen.

'Russia for Russians, Moscow for Muscovites!

'Africa for blacks, cesspit for Caucasians! Hail Tesak!'

The group reportedly ally with neo-Nazi Maxim Martsinkevich, nicknamed Tesak, meaning Machete, who died from 'asphyxia' in a Russian jail in 2020.

The scared woman said: 'It was 6.30 pm. I was waiting for the train… Very young guys…came up to me.

Putin says Moscow concert gunman were 'radical Islamists' but refuses to say they were from ISIS - as he insists the terrorists had been trying to 'flee to Ukraine'  

'One of them, the most active one, took a metal bat out of his jacket and showed me.

'They surrounded me and began to humiliate me… They called me names from the platform based on my nationality and appearance.'

She said no-one came to her aid.

Two of those threatening her were detained today and face questioning.

On Telegram, migrants from Tajikistan have shared messages expressing fears the community in Russia will suffer for the Crocus attack, as reported by the BBC.

Sharing their concern over retributive attacks, one said: 'Please, God, let [the attackers] be Ukrainian instead.'

Russia's Federal Security Service, or the FSB, said it had arrested 11 people the day after the attack, including four suspected gunmen.

Moscow's Basmanny District Court identified the four suspects behind the attack as Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, 32; Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, 30; Shamsidin Fariduni, 25; and Mukhammadsobir Faizov, 19. 

The four men, identified as Tajik nationals, appeared in a Moscow court on Sunday on terrorism charges and showed signs of severe beatings.

One appeared to be barely conscious during the hearing.

The men were charged with committing a group terrorist attack resulting in the death of others. The offence carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

They were all ordered to be held in pre-trial custody until May 22.

Mirzoyev and Rachabalizoda admitted guilt after being charged, according to AP, citing court officials.

While Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, President Vladimir Putin has said the four men were arrested while trying to flee to Ukraine.

Kyiv denies any connection to the attack.

Putin has made no reference to ISIS' claims.

US intelligence also said after the attack it had information confirming ISIS was responsible for the attack.

Yesterday, head of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) Alexander Bortnikov bizarrely pinned blame on the United States, Britain and Ukraine.

Speaking after the meeting with the board of the Prosecutor General's Office, he was asked whether the US, Britain and Ukraine were behind the terrorist attack, according to Russian news agency TASS .

'We believe that this is true. In any case, we are now talking about the factual information we have. This is general information, but they have a long record of this sort.'

'What is [Ukraine] expected to do to demonstrate its capability? It is expected to carry out sabotage and terrorist acts in the rear,' he continued.

'This is what both the chiefs of Ukraine's special services and the British special services are aiming at. US special services have repeatedly mentioned this, too.'

The Crocus Concert Hall was attacked by armed gunmen on March 22, when terrorists opened fire on civilians and set the auditorium on fire in Russia's deadliest attack in 20 years.

According to the latest data, 140 people have been confirmed dead as a result of the attack, the most recent dying in hospital today.

A total of 80 people injured in the attack remain hospitalized, the official added, and 205 others have sought outpatient medical assistance.

The Moscow Times reported today as many as 360 had been injured in the attack.

Three days before the attack, Putin denounced the U.S. Embassy's March 7 notice urging Americans to avoid crowds in Moscow , including concerts, calling it an attempt to frighten Russians and 'blackmail' the Kremlin ahead of the presidential election.

After Britain echoed the notice, Kremlin mouthpieces accused both of 'complicity' if terrorists did hit Moscow.

The news of a terror warning on March 7 came only hours after the FSB claimed to have thwarted an ISIS plot to slaughter Jews in a Moscow synagogue.

It was unclear whether the events are linked.

According to the FSB, a large cache of weapons and bomb parts were found during a raid on an Islamic State cell in Kaluga, southwest of the capital.

Russian state media reported militants had been gearing up to shoot Jewish worshippers at a synagogue in the capital before security officials stormed the premises and gunned them down.

'While being arrested, the terrorists put up armed resistance to the Russian FSB officers, and as a result were neutralised by return fire,' the Russian state-owned TASS news agency quoted the security service as saying in a statement.
