Truly one of the must-watch scenes of any movie of the past 20 years. I laugh every damn time.

Ice cream isn't Vegan?

Edit - Shot at Lee's Palace in Toronto. It's been a while since my college nights out

I always love it when locals recognize a place from a movie. Having grown up around San Francisco, I always can tell which movies really got in deep with the city, and which ones were just using it as a backdrop.

The best are like some of the old ones, Bullitt or Dirty Harry where they wildly change location from Potrero Hill, Tenderloin, to Marin from shot to shot. Esp with racing across the city w/o having 20 cops on your tail.

EXACTLY the two movies that I was thinking of - I love both of these movies to death but there's no way Harry Callahan is running from Aquatic Park to Mount Davidson in 30 minutes (or whatever time the bad guy gave him).

But given Eastwood was a local boy, I give him a bit of a pass.

Hey we are all here to enjoy fantasy. Don't bring regality, geography, and common sense here. This is all explained by Magic (tm)... oops! Wrong thread. Carry on.

More seriously, Portland gets used for movies and TV a bit and it is a hoot to recognize local landmarks while laughing at the Movie/TV fantasy geography of Portland.

Extreme Case - When there was a car chase in "Due South", which is supposed to take place in Chicago, and they drove past a sign pointing to Skydome.

I still don't know for which TV show/movie I had to move my motorcycle out of my parking space, at work, so that they could put a dead hooker in it. I suspect it was "Flashpoint."

The easiest one is "Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Toronto", but it doesn't exactly qualify as just a backdrop.

My favourite scenes are typically when Ontario Place is used as a stand-in for some alien building, like most recently in "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds." Sadly, it's likely going to get torn down in the near future.

Edit - I should also point out that the area of Yonge Street, closest to my office, was torn up both by The Hulk and The Joker.

The one that always kills me is Michael Bay's The Rock.

They fire the missile, and then they say the missile is heading towards Oakland. But then they clearly show the missile going over Candlestick Park, which is on the south side of San Francisco across the bay.

I turned off the Paul Giamatti John Adams miniseries when they showed Henry Knox taking the cannon from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston through Braintree, which would have been a wildly irresponsible detour just to chat for a minute with Abigail Adams. Like, there's a war on, man!
