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.

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.

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.

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

Lots of stuff is filmed in Utah.

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. |
