I always thought it would be cool to visit the location where Magua had his last fight in Last of the Mohicans.
Any of you ever vist a non-studio scene location of one of your favorite movies? |

I worked security for the special effects trailer during filming of The Crazies. Part of it was filmed locally, so I see the location often. It was interesting to see how they utilized local places and items for the movie.

I went to Old Tucson Studios for a highschool TV production field trip.

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.

Es, both for Hap and Leonard and The Watchmen.
Had to do a detour for two weeks in Cedartown for the Watchmen. |
|
Yes, quite a bit. I work in Albuquerque so a ton of different stuff has been shot all around my office. Sicario and breaking bad are probably the most famous though. This is where Netflix home base is as well. See a ton of shoots going around town all the time.

The tree from Hang Him High was a few miles from my childhood home until some dumb fuck cut it down.

Escape from New York, filmed largely in 3-4 locations in the St. Louis/East St. Louis area. I even got to meet that guy that shot Kurt Russell in the leg with an arrow.

My friend in junior high was on a family vacation in Mexico and visited the area where the waterfall scene of Predator was filmed. I was mad jelly.

A month or so ago, i was in Lone Pine CA. From there you can drive thru the locations where hundreds of Western movies were filmed.

I've been to the Monroeville Mall outside of Pittsburgh where the older Dawn of the Dead was filmed.

Lived a few blocks over from the corner of Hollywood and Highland for 7 years.
S.W.A.T.: Montel Nearly Escapes Custody (Colin Farrell, Olivier Martinez Scene) Watched this actually being filmed. |

Used to work across the street from the location of the Innetech office from “Office Space”.

Fort Knox, KY where they filmed part of Stripes, Devil's Tower, WY from Close Encounters and there are some parts of Savannah, GA in Forrest Gump.

I've been to many film locations of Dazed and Confused since it was filmed in Austin.
- The HS in the movie was the junior HS that I went to. I took Industrial Arts (aka shop class) in the same shop class in the movie. - The football field where they are goofing off on was filmed at Burger Center. I've been on that field many times in HS. - I've eaten many times at Top Notch which is still open. - The scene where the HS senior girls are hazing the freshman girls was filed at the old Americana theater, now a public library. It's the theater where I saw Top Gun back in the day. I've been to the VLA in NM from the movie Contact. |

Just airports, train stations, and NYC. Walking from Times Square to Central Park you see so many places that have been used in movies.

Quite a few, was a member of IATSE, worked films like Lone Wolf McQuade, and The Border.
Met Norris, Carradine, Carrera, and Nicholson. Also a lot of rock concerts. |

Dealy Plaza
Also, the obstacle course run by Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs was the E course we ran at Quantico |

The plantation from the green mile is near my house. It is dilapidated something terrible. You can seriously look inside through the missing part of the front facing wall to the inside of the house.

One of the National Lampoons Vacation movies with Chevy Chase. It’s the movie that kinda starts out where he’s upset because every day when the mailman drives by the mail truck is smoking and backfiring. He drives around in this little convertible car.
There’s a scene in the movie where he drives down the ramp into the Brownsville Dam swimming area in VT. I saw the movie once back when I was a kid. Forgot all about the movie. Went swimming while on a family vacation at the Brownsville Dam. I got Deja Vu when walking out of the water and looking up at the driveway ramp. About a week after returning home we sat down with the kids to watch that movie. Paused the movie to explain the connection to the kids, after I had noticed it. Was a pretty cool experience to realize it later and be able to share it. |
|
I live and work in NYC it's hard to avoid places that have been in movies.
|
|
I am near Savannah... so yes. Many many movies filmed here. Most notably Forrest Gump. (bench scene is in downtown Sav. The running scene is just outside of Sav. Jenny's restaurant was in downtown, etc)

Steel Magnolias. Lived down the street from Annelle’s house.

Quoted: elaborate more please sir. View Quote Las Vegas New Mexico. The train station, the town square/playground, the ambush sites, the building with the cowgirl mural, the drive-in prisoner holding,(all still there) The site of the gas station scene, (just a field now, the building was fake) The opening school paratrooper scene area was developed and not really recognizable anymore. Good friends and family are extras in the military parade scene thru town. (the scowling old ladies behind the fence) |

Was on the set of Warning Signs, old school
Been in the jail that held the Fratelli brother, also saw the haystack rocks, didn't have any doubloons to find the path Stayed in the house and on the property where Terror Birds was filmed Stood on the steps of The Stanley Hotel |

Several of the sites around Cleveland where scenes for "The Deer Hunter" and "The Avengers" were filmed.
The cheesefest "Double Dragon" had the river chase scene filmed in Cleveland too. |

Quoted: I would love to do that as well as go to the town from First Blood. View Quote It's quite easy, Las Vegas is a pretty damn small town even today. Very few of the buildings have changed much in appearance and all the locatons are only minutes apart. The building that had the anti-aircraft gun on the roof is in the corner of the town square. Directly across the street from the snow covered park in the final death scene. The hotel scene with the big staircase in "No Country For Old Men"? Las Vegas hotel (The Plaza) as well. It's still a functional hotel and we stay there on visits. The Most Intense Scene in Cinema History |

Living in California I’ve driven by several. The area where the train trestle used to be in Dirty Harry, Lost Boys scene areas, San Francisco in general, some areas in Southern California popular with movies and in the desert. Also NYC, Kings Park mental hospital, etc.
Don’t even think much of it anymore. I’ll occasionally recognize something and that’s that. |

I didn't know at the time I was living there, but King Pin was filmed a lot around the Pittsburgh area. I bowled at this place that was a former warehouse where the bowling alley was on I think the third floor. The other floors were abandoned and you had to walk up these rickety old stairs to get there. There was a door going up the steps to access a large room on the second floor and the door was open. The room was just filled with dust and cobwebs and a single old school one piece school deskin the middle. Something straight out of a horror movie.
It was where Roy Munson got his hand cut off in the ball return. Click To View Spoiler Beaver Valley Bowl

The fountain from the opening scene of the sitcom Friends.
Then found out the fountain in Central Park isn't it. ETA: Daughter ate at Olympia Restaurant |

Alamo village near Brackettvill Texas . Where John Wayne made The Alamo . More movies and series filmed at that location also . Went there when I was maybe 10-12 years old . Really neat place . Sadly it is not open anymore .

Many, not intentionally though. The Birds(Bodega Bay), Overboard(Noyo Harbor, Fort Bragg, CA), Outbreak, Joe Dirt, salems lot(Ferndale,CA)...bunch of others as well.

The road right in front of my driveway was the location for a scene in the Hallmark movie Valley of Light.
Scene starting at 5:30. My driveway is on the right just past the oak tree, which was hit by some dumbass kid and his shitbox car and damaged enough that it got rot in it and had to be cut down. Pisses me off. Hallmark The Valley Of Light |

Completely by accident, we're driving through valley of the gods in AZ and notice this clump of traffic on ahead on hill ahead. Slowed down and everybody is taking pictures.
And who the hell would name a highway 'Forest Gump road'? And then we looked in the mirror to find the exact scene from the movie where he was running across America. It's every bit as epic as the movie. @Zardoz-- yep, that one. |

Also Dirty Dancing was filmed near by. |

I've been to California. I think they film a couple things there.
|

Bryson City, Cheoah Dam, and Dillsboro NC multiple times where some of 'The Fugitive' was shot, I've also ridden the GSM Railroad where the train crash was filmed but not that excursion.
I've also been to Chimney Rock where some of 'The Last of the Mohicans' and the original 'Firestarter' were filmed. |
