Which famous movies or television shows have been filmed in whole or in part in your city? Please name the city also.

 

  I was stationed on Oahu, Hawaii for five years, almost a decade before my arrival, “Hawaii 5-0” was filmed there, and while I was there, “Magnum, P.I.” was filmed there. Both shows were filmed at numerous locations throughout the Hawaiian Islands during their years of production.  Additionally, many other television shows have been filmed there, and many movies also.

  I now live in San Diego, California. “Simon and Simon” is just one of the television shows that have been filmed here.  Its production was many years before my arrival, and I have never seen even one episode of the show, not even in reruns.

    I know a reality show was based here.  And at least three other reality shows had episodes that were filmed here.  (19 and counting, Sister Wives and Shipping wars) Do not know if they are considered famous. 

    No, I will not name the town/city. Sorry.

      No one is expected to list each and every production that took place in his or her location.

    at in your city. Not wrong, just awkward.

    I live in NYC. A better question is what famous movies or TV shows HAVEN'T been filmed here? I exaggerate to make a point.

    I have edited it thusly. Originally, I hesitated to use the word “in” because it would be repetitive three times in succession of the same preposition.

    Very few that are known internationally. Breaker Morant, Gallipoli and Picnic at Hanging Rock are all Australian cult classics, partly shot in Adelaide. Red Dog and Rabbit-proof Fence you might know.

    Some better-known flicks partly shot in my State but not in the city are Jaws (Southern Ocean, off the South Australian coast), Mad Max III (Beyond Thunderdome) and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (Coober Pedy, South Australia).

      Personally, I’m very much familiar with your first two entries; “Breaker Morant” and “Gallipoli”, and with all of the entries in your second paragraph.

    Both are about soldiers and soldiering - with your military background, you would know those. Most wouldn't.

    It’s my love of history that drew me to them, a love that was established before I reached age ten, long before I even considered military service.

      “Homicide: Life on the Street“ and “Hill Street Blues” are two of my top favorite police shows ever!
