No, not the battle of Red Bank during the Revolutionary War.

They're shooting a movie here!! Two scenes, actually, for the upcoming movie "Annapolis".

They shot "Shall We Dance" (with Gere and someone. I forget), and some Robin Williams movie recently in Winnipeg.

They shot "The Dukes of Hazzard," "In the Heat of the Night," "Friday the 13th V," and numerous other movie and tv shows here in Covington (the "Hollywood of the South BTW).

I've never understood all those Covington liberal types!

What a coincidence - that's also where they shot J.R.

Draft Dodger · 11-04-2004, 06:34 PM

they shot a few scenes from "Jumanji" in my town.
I swear, the movie played at our local theater for about 4 years.

I shot a movie in the bathroom once. Romances are difficult with urine.

Obviously, you just need to do some more creative web surfing.

They shoot the Soprano's in my town in NJ every once in a while and a lot of the scenes are shot in neighboring towns.

My cities claim to fame is having more Bridal Shops per square mile then any other city. We have 22 in a small suburb of a town that's probably 2 miles wide by 4 miles long.

What's the ratio of divorce attorneys?

INDalltheway · 11-04-2004, 10:24 PM

Highest divorce rate where I am from. Close to where I live "Hoosiers" was shot.

JeeberD · 11-05-2004, 01:09 AM

They shot parts of "Evita" in El Paso, along with that piece of crap Bruce Willis movie "Last Man Standing" as well as several other flicks that I can't think of at the moment.

On location filming for "Glory Road" is about to start in El Paso as well...
