We all hear about Hollywood North, and how so many movies are being filmed in Vancouver or Toronto, but really, how often do you watch a movie that ACTUALLY takes place in Vancouver...or Toronto or anywhere else in Canada.

I remember the Whole Nine Yards, it took place in Montreal. And I remember how surprised I was to see most of the movie actually taking place in Canada.

Lets get a LIST going of all the other movies that take place anywhere in Canada.

The score - Montreal
waydowntown - Calgary (watched on sundance channel)
afterglow - Montreal (watched on sundance channel)

I hear more references to Toronto in HK movies than N.A. movies. Its too bad hollywood crybabies jeer the fact that movies are shot in Canada, yet don't realize the billions of dollars CDNs have spent at the theatres and rentals watching their trash (not including TV programing), and having US culture forced upon us. They can't let us have some without holding it over our heads.

How about that one I saw with Ice Cube.. Are we there yet? That was set in Vancouver.

I do believe so was Eck Vs. Sever. (Warning: DO not see either movies:))

^Actually, thats a good one. Ecks vs Sever, was crap, but it showed Vancouver very well.

I remember seeing a set on the Bay building on Queen st. They had a sighn on the building that said "Madison Sq. Gardends 3rd Ave". with cars from the 1930's parked everywhere. Needless to say, it was quite a nostalgic scene (even though i was born on the 70's).

Ive also seen Cathrine Zeta Jones in a blockbuster on bay st. . . WOW!

Mike j douglas is the luckiest man alive! I HATE HIM!

FUBAR, one of the funniest movies ever, filmed just outside of Edmonton.

cool runnings - calgary

cool runnings - calgary

^ Still a damn enjoyable movie to watch, especially when the Jamaicans get out of Calgary International and freeze their butts off...lol :)

Canadian Bacon - Toronto and the Niagara border region.

Far From Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog - set in the British Columbia wilderness. I remember seeing this in TV one time. One scene shows the Labrador planes of the Canadian Coast Guard actually mobilize as if it was the US airforce readying for battle. You don't see that scene everyday.... ;)

There's been a 3 movies set in Vancouver and BC that I can remember. Intersection starring Richard Gere and Sharon Stone and Narrow Margin with Gene Hackman and Ann Archer. There was also a film I saw recently called Russian Roulette starring George Segal from 1975. It's a pretty pathetic tally considering how many films have been made in British Columbia.

I believe in MVP (Most Valuable Primate) a trucker picks up the skilled chimp and drives him to Nelson B.C...don't ask me how I know this....

I forgot what its called but it was set in Montreal and/or Quebec City and i think Toronto in the end. Starred Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland maybe about 3-4 yrs ago

Oh yeah, I forgot Driven was set in Toronto, at the Molson Indy. It had Sly Stallone driving down University Avenue in a CART race car. There were also some great shots of the skyline, although the movie itself was nothing special.

Taking lives with Angelina Jolie was shot in and took place in Gatineau and Montreal.

^ ya thats the one

FUBAR was NOT filmed just outside Edmonton! It is a Calgary movie- their house is abouut 3 blocks from where I live! Some of the scenese are shot in High River, south of Calgary, but it's a Calgary flick. Don't take FUBAR away from us.

That was last year called Taking Lives.

some parts of fubar were filmed in edmonton, but most of it was filmed in calgary/high prairie.

There was two movies set in my city...
One was with Harrison Ford actually. (Although Windsor was in that for a little bit)
I forget the names though.
You can see Windsor in quite a few movies...
Detroit Rock City, 8 Mile, and that one with Jennifer Lopez...
Ohh heelllll yeah Windsor is the shit!

I know at least some of Fubar takes place in Edmonton. Right at the end when they are visiting there freinds grave you can see Edmonton in the background. That was one of the funniest movies ever, it was so stupid though I could have made it.

And X-2 along with some other movies wernt just filimed in Toronto it was filmed in Vancouver just a few blocks up from my house.

Go Vancouver, 3rd most filmed city in North America !

I believe in MVP (Most Valuable Primate) a trucker picks up the skilled chimp and drives him to Nelson B.C...don't ask me how I know this....

That's a great stoner movie. Air Bud's another winner.

Taking lives - Montreal/Quebec City... It was supposed to be in Montreal i believe, but I think at one point i saw the frontinac... I havent seen it in a while though, so I could be wrong.

Movies filmed in Toronto site.

http://webhome.idirect.com/~jerik/movies.htm

I know at least some of Fubar takes place in Edmonton. Right at the end when they are visiting there freinds grave you can see Edmonton in the background.

WRONG! They are sitting on a hill overlooking downtown Calgary, and that hill is the dog park at 23rd Ave and 17A St! You can see the flippping Bankers Hall buildings and the Calgary Tower!

Look it up on IMDB. None of FUBAR was shot in Edmonton.

Does anyone know what's being filmed in the Vic College area of U of T? They were stopping people in 4 minute intervals today in front of E.J. Pratt. Anyone know? The actors were all men, and they were in suits standing in the grassy area in front of Pratt and beside Vic College. I didn't see anyone famous, I was thinking it might be the Trump movie, but I've also heard that one already finished filming.
