Flim Locations

[Dover]

Have you ever watched a film or TV programme and known the location is not what they say it is.

For instance 2 Point 4 Children. They state that it's London. No sorry, It's Ashford.

There's also a dodgy film with Brian Blessed, they say it's "Somewhere in the Eastern Block." No, no, no, it's Battersea Power Station.

Anyone for anymore?

Middle Earth is clearly not filmed there, it looks much more like New Zealand

Robin Hood and his merry men fought in Hungary by the look of it, not Sherwood Forest

And CHildren of Men was definately not filmed in Bexhill

 

[Yorkie]

Harry's Game was supposed to be in Belfast but was actually filmed in the Holbeck area of Leeds.

 

[black & white seagull]

Most of Hollyoaks is filmed in Liverpool, not Chester.

 

[Trufflehound]

To the best of my knowledge, Star Wars was NOT filmed in "a galaxy far, far away".

More likely it was Tunisia and Los Angeles.

 

[Nibble]

Inner Space was not filmed inside a human body.

 

[Badger]

Armageddon was probably not filmed on an Asteroid

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

casablanca was mostly filmed in the u.s

none of it was actually in the city of casablanca

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

Chucklevision is filmed in Buxted.

 

[Rambo]

Only Fools & Horses is in Bristol, not Peckham.

 

[Nibble]

Only Fools & Horses is in Bristol, not Peckham.

And Holingbury. The Holingbury pub is the interior for The Nags Head.

P.S OFAH is not a film.

 

[Gazwag]

P.S OFAH is not a film.

But neither was 2.4 children quoted by the thread starter

 

[Nibble]

Quite right. Two inaccuracies. One more and this thread is cancelled.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Im not 100% but Im quite sure Mission to mars was not film on mars

 

[clapham_gull]

Ashes to Ashes is filmed in modern day London and not 1980s London as the programme implies.

 

[London Calling]

The Clint Eastwood Spaggetti westerns - not south New Mexico but Almeria, Spain and Gran Canaria, Spain.

Most, if not the majority of Ashes to Ashes is filmed in Canning Town and the Royal Docks, near Tate and Lyle. Based on the 5 progs so far, Canning Town is even dodgier than in reality. And in reality its dodgy.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Quadrophenia. "That is BRIGHTON", the mods declaim. Whilst pointing at Eastbourne from near Beachy Head. It's a WRONGNESS.

 

[London Calling]

Hammer Horror films were filmed at Pinewood not Transvania! This list could be endless.

Wasn't the big Battle in Gladiator filmed in Sussex not Germania?

 

[Skidmarks]

The Matrix is claimed to be a fix of the imagination, rumour has it, it was actually filmed in a studio in the US somewhere

 

[CHAPPERS]

Full Metal Jacket

Vietnam? Pah, England.
