Filming Locations from Google Maps. POST HERE - I'm GOING TO VANCOUVER NEXT WEEK!

on Tuesday, December, 21, 2010 11:42 AM
This is where Sam parks his bike. Those of you who have seen the movie might remember a starbucks on the left hand side.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=Starbucks&sll=49.284597,-123.119842&sspn=0.004717,0.013089&ie=UTF8&t=h&rq=1&ev=zo&radius=0.35&split=1&hq=Starbucks&hnear=&layer=c&cbll=49.284621,-123.121364&panoid=NdHC0a-or5F_N2JwJ_diVw&cbp=12,271.49,,0,8.32&ll=49.284555,-123.121269&spn=0,0.013089&z=17

This is the front of the "Encom Tower" - Note the shangri-la logo, and the little outcropping which was the "Security Office"

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=Starbucks&sll=49.284597,-123.119842&sspn=0.004717,0.013089&ie=UTF8&t=h&rq=1&ev=zo&radius=0.35&split=1&hq=Starbucks&hnear=&layer=c&cbll=49.285916,-123.123291&panoid=YaAR17z0WU18lkkGHD8nEg&cbp=12,203.43,,0,-12.7&ll=49.285916,-123.123291&spn=0,0.000818&z=21

I'm still trying to find the location where Sam's Crate House was.... They said it was built on something called Inlet 19, or something with a 19 in it. Can anyone find it?

Also, the shot when Sam is going into the city, jumping off that freeway onto the street slanted upwards.

Come on Vancouverians!

Thanks!
Jeff

This LOOKS like the only place they could've shot Sam's apartment from..

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=Wharf&sll=49.274595,-123.135045&sspn=0.004718,0.013089&gl=us&ie=UTF8&t=h&rq=1&ev=zo&split=1&radius=0.35&hq=Wharf&hnear=&ll=49.274525,-123.133607&spn=0.004718,0.013089&z=17
In the shots of Alan in the "Page" video the bridge shown on his right has a metal piece on it.

Here are some more places!

I've lived in Vancouver my whole life and was surprised and thrilled to see so many shots from places where I go regularly. Yay!

Sam's Childhood Home
--
The camera flies over the port here and over the Inlet (you can see it on satellite, you can't really see it on Street View) http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=port+of+vancouver&sll=49.272467,-123.133264&sspn=0.005306,0.01354&ie=UTF8&hq=port+of+vancouver&hnear=&ll=49.284212,-123.093309&spn=0.00963,0.054159&t=h&z=14&layer=c&cbll=49.284203,-123.093297&panoid=pcwy-pSGn_d_C0KpKK-HOQ&cbp=11,2.57,,0,0.98
But the island on the inlet where the family home is on is completely made up. Sorry!

Sam's Bachelor Pad
---
Sorry, but you were incorrect about the location. In real life the Granville Street Bridge area you suggested is too populated. I recognized the real location immediately because it is only 5 minutes from where I grew up, which was trippy for me. lol.
http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=49.300418,-123.025911&num=1&sll=49.305635,-123.028706&sspn=0.071946,0.071946&ie=UTF8&ll=49.299928,-123.026297&spn=0,0.01354&z=16&layer=c&cbll=49.299594,-123.026287&panoid=W2uvUE403K1AkIwSKVipRg&cbp=12,168.32,,0,16.17

It's under the Second Narrows/Iron Workers bridge in North Vancouver. It's a very industrial area. The other bridge on Alan's right is just a train bridge. The "awesome view" that Alan points out is sadly, not there in real life (must have been CG). Maybe tomorrow I'll drive over there and see if I can see the warehouse!

Motorcycle Chase
--
This was in multiple locations.
The bridge MAY have been Granville St. but it's hard to tell
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=granville+street+bridge&sll=49.271699,-123.134452&sspn=0.00252,0.01354&ie=UTF8&rq=1&ev=p&radius=0.37&split=1&filter=0&layer=c&cbll=49.272472,-123.133271&panoid=D6UdslvEw1P0aSkWhJFFgg&cbp=11,146.14,,0,5&hq=granville+street+bridge&hnear=&ll=49.272467,-123.133264&spn=0.002408,0.01354&z=16

The off ramp and where he drives the bike under the bridge is here, in front of Granville Island:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=granville+street+bridge&sll=49.276233,-123.123028&sspn=0.005306,0.01354&ie=UTF8&rq=1&ev=p&radius=0.37&split=1&hq=granville+street+bridge&hnear=&ll=49.268831,-123.138447&spn=0,0.01354&z=16&layer=c&cbll=49.268899,-123.138536&panoid=OxhxgW1j_5XAF98uON9nYA&cbp=12,53.48,,0,12.39

Finally, the tunnel thing that he drives up out of is in a different area, across town at Coal Harbour in front of Shaw Tower:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=shaw+tower&sll=49.287963,-123.115282&sspn=0.005654,0.01354&ie=UTF8&rq=1&ev=p&radius=0.37&split=1&filter=0&hq=shaw+tower&hnear=&ll=49.288243,-123.118458&spn=0.002407,0.01354&z=16&layer=c&cbll=49.288247,-123.118448&panoid=bvCYcCEH-qy5Z_qQXEv64A&cbp=11,117.97,,0,4.3

Flynn's Arcade
--
I think this was on a set. Does any one have more info?

Sunrise city shot
--
Vancouverites will instantly recognize the epic sunrise shot at the end where he is on the bike with Quorra. It's Lion's Gate Bridge:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=lions+gate+bridge&layer=c&sll=49.314678,-123.139311&cid=4490618402076710650&cbp=13,187.34,,0,9.13&cbll=49.314785,-123.139302&hl=en&ie=UTF8&hq=lions+gate+bridge&hnear=&ll=49.31445,-123.138896&spn=0,0.00677&z=17&panoid=gZj0TSdvtFqc_sfQeQh5UQ
I don't even think they used CG for that shot. It really is that beautiful in the morning!

The restaurant is in Culver City.

For Legacy, they didn't re-use the location. They actually built the front of it on a set with bluescreen around it. As seen here:

The bridge from the motorcycle wasn't the granville, it was the cambie as you can see the unique lights on the bridge.

http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cambie+street+bridge&sll=49.272472,-123.133271&sspn=0.008204,0.014741&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Cambie+St+Bridge&ll=49.272008,-123.114754&spn=0.00046,0.001843&z=19&layer=c&cbll=49.272009,-123.114754&panoid=VqJha_ZvV6ypwP8m6B2SgA&cbp=11,219.32,,0,5

The stunt was done going the wrong way on the fir street exit from the granville bridge though.

http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cambie+street+bridge&sll=49.272472,-123.133271&sspn=0.008204,0.014741&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Cambie+St+Bridge&ll=49.264789,-123.141018&spn=0.000982,0.001843&t=h&z=19

And I hope this link works, it's a pic from the underground Sam drives out of as he approaches ENCOM tower.
http://meetu.ps/5RCc

The place the police officer begins the chase is here
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cambie+street+bridge&sll=49.272472,-123.133271&sspn=0.008204,0.014741&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Cambie+St+Bridge&t=h&ll=49.27771,-123.112483&spn=0.000256,0.000461&z=21&layer=c&cbll=49.27771,-123.112483&panoid=h3_ZVnnw4jSJWt3y1KdX9g&cbp=12,269.02,,0,5

As can be seen in the following video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R4NLxteH30

And the underpass he goes under is here:

Question for my fellow Vancouverites. The one location I can't figure is the police station exterior after Sam is released from jail. Anyone know where it is?

It's funny, how these city areas in Vancouver, Canada that were film for the movie look nearly identical to locations in parts of Los Angeles, and downtown San Diego.....

Vancouver is used because of the fact that there are many areas that look like many other cities. San Fran is a big one as well and NY.
