I went through the Czech border before they used it. There was a security guard there to make sure nobody messed with it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ShortyAK: Many times in different parts of L.A. and San Diego. Also off-roading in the SoCal deserts has put me on locations of countless car/truck commercials. This. Also, they filmed the burning neighborhood shootout in Lethal Weapon 3 100 yards from the house I was renting at the time. Crazy to hear machine gun fire and see explosions basically in your front yard. ETA: Also lived on Edwards AFB. Tons of movies and shows shot scenes there. |

The Horse Whisperer movie with Robert Redford was filmed on some relatives land in MT.
They built the farmhouse shown in the movie and covered up the existing house that's there. The house they built is just a shell nothing more. The cabin they show across the river is real though. Beautiful property with fantastic trout fishing. |

Been to a ton, but mostly accidentally stumbled upon them, really, not a huge movie buff:
From the James Bond collection: Walking in the footsteps of Connery in Istanbul ("From Russia with Love", underground boat scene in the Cistens)  Ready to duel with Moore in Thailand ("Man With The Golden Gun", Scaramanga's Island lair scene.)  Bonus Star Wars reference, strolling with Anakin Skywalker and Queen Padmé on the planet Naboo. ("Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones", Theed Palace, aka Plaza de España, Seville, Spain):  Side story, no pics: A long time ago, when I was in college in D.C., I really wanted a burrito from this place in Georgetown. Walked all the way there from my apartment. Darn M Street & Wisconsin was all blocked off, police lines don't cross, etc. – someone's filming some movie. I'm like "Forget that: I want to get to the restaurant on the *other* side of that street", so I ducked under the police tape, ran through the movie set, just as they went quiet-on-set, and then Schwartznegger walked through traffic in "True Lies" before the shootout-in-the-bathrooms of Georgetown Park mall scene. I enjoyed my chow and watched him do his thing from the window of Burrito Bros. (Which is just down the road from the famous "Exorcist Steps", so maybe that's a twofer for me, but I've never seen the Exorcist.) |

Completely by accident.
Was down in the keys when they were filming True Lies . Didn't see any actual filming but there were dozens of parking lots with Harrier jets , trucks and cranes and storage containers all over the place. At first I didn't have a clue but newspapers were full of people bitching about traffic when they were filming . Little of the chase scenes were on public roads , mostly on abandoned sections of highway/bridge trestles . Sometime later I made sure to see the movie. Kind of stupid in many ways but quite entertaining. |

I've been in Pompillio's restaurant in Newport, Ky. They filmed some scenes from Rainman there. There was an annoying movie filmed in Ludlow, Ky. They kept shutting down the main road for filming. In the 1920's, Ludlow was known as Hollywood East because they made a bunch of movies there.
While not a movie, i cannot believe none of you listed Knob Creek where Guntucky was filmed. |

The Equilizer 2 with Denzel Washington was filmed in Marshfield (Brant Rock) MA.
I have several customers I service and would see the film crew and setup regularly. One day Denzel was there and saw him talking with someone. Some Adam Sandler movies were filmed on Cape Cod where I grew up. Freddy Prince Jr. and several others filmed Summer Catch in Chatham, MA. The Perfect Storm with Mark Whalberg filmed in Gloucester. Several others but too lazy to look them up. |

Indian Dunes Motorcycle Park in the late 70s early 80s where the Baa Baa Black Sheep set was. Along with lots of other Vietnam era show sets were. Most notoriously, this was where the helicopter crash that killed Vic Morrow and 2 kids on the Twilight Zone movie happened. It's all farm land now. Puente Hills Mall where Back To The Future was filmed for the parking lot scene. My wife is from La Puente. She worked at Robinson’s in the Puente Hills Mall. |
