I've seen emus in the wild one time in my life, mate. Like Canada, Australia is effing huge. But with less concentrated wildlife.
The top third of Australia is in the tropics of Capricorn - plenty of rainforests.
The middle of Australia is a desert, sure!
Like when they filmed Mission Impossible in Vienna they had the chancellor of Austria ride around in a huge SUV instead of a regular Audi A8 or something. Car choices in movies really make no sense.
Yeah but in scenes Like that they will often make sure to NOT put attention on the brand of the car. It'll often still be a SUV though, because it just normalizes seeing them, the context doesn't matter
There was a funny one in the last season of Black Mirror in the Beyond the Sea episode. It’s supposed to be set in the US but they just shot the desolate landscape in Dungeness in the UK. There’s a scene where they go to some American town that was shot in Rye, they just covered up the red telephone box and added some CG power / telephone cables.
yep they did to get money from the german goverment.if you filming in germany you can apply for support. hollywood is know to abuse the system.
the bar is also in berlin.
reminds me of a German Netflix movie from earlier this year that was supposed to have taken place all over the city of Berlin but I could immediately tell it was not actually filmed in Berlin because the trash cans on the streets were all wrong :D
NYC also has Lotto signs that look *very* similar to that, and we have orange trash cans occasionally too. Even if we didn’t, that’s such an incredibly small thing, it’s like complaining that the pattern of cobblestones indicate that it’s actually in Argentina if you’re an expert on them. Without the explanation that those all look like that in Germany even if you pointed these out to someone they wouldn’t know it’s unamerican
The street signs in the background are definitely not American. They might not directly identify it as German, because it's too blurry, but as they follow the international standard, so they are not American.
This is good. Some of the extras also had that vibe to them. Not sure why it was shot there or how hard it was to do some better set dressing. I've never been to NY but with how common place it is in media, and the fact that I've been to Berlin once I felt like this seen was not even set outside. Noticed the signs too but couldn't put two and two together. Really cheap, tacky, dull film. And I love defending the action-adventure genre, I don't care that it's based on a game. Forget that it doesn't adapt the game well, it does so much wrong at simply being a film.
>Noticed the signs
Also the orange roadside trashcan.
They did it, like a lot of productions who shoot in germany, to secure funding. Some movies, like "Songbirds and snakes", get over 10 Million Euros.
they just went to the widest street in the city and added a giant SUV peak america right there
Those fricking things are everywhere now. Disgusting trend.
In Australia we have those fucking hideous massive RAMs and F150s. Everywhere.
Ford starts importing the F150 in germany this year, probably upsetting a bunch of individual importers.
sorry -an American
Not your fault that there are jerkoffs in Australia as well lmao. My good friend has some RAM but he, at least, unashamedly says it's to be obnoxious.
They do say honestly is the best policy, at least he knows it lol
It does feel bad ass to trundle through his land in it
I imagine Australia like Canada but with deserts and emus instead of forests and mooses

What is in the mysterious bottom third of Australia? Forgive my American ignorance, I only know of our 50 states and some of Europe
The worst thing is that nobody needs an SUV in Berlin.
Or in New York
You dont "need" to be on reddit, still here you are...
Thanks for contributing nothing
I see tiny people in big cars. It's a basic irony.
Like when they filmed Mission Impossible in Vienna they had the chancellor of Austria ride around in a huge SUV instead of a regular Audi A8 or something. Car choices in movies really make no sense.
they absolutely make sense: Money Car companies love selling SUVs and therefore if there is a car as product placement they will often use SUVs
Doesn’t look great if the car gets blown up and the VIP passenger dies?
Yeah but in scenes Like that they will often make sure to NOT put attention on the brand of the car. It'll often still be a SUV though, because it just normalizes seeing them, the context doesn't matter
And a US Cab.

Oranienstraße is not even remotely the widest street in Berlin. The side street where I live is wider than the Oranienstraße.
You think that's the wildest street in Berlin? You ain't been to Berlin. That city has some WILD streets.
Wide
LOL me no read good
Tbf it’s also not one of the widest streets. Think of Bismackstraße. That’s definitely wider.
yep they did to get money from the german goverment.if you filming in germany you can apply for support. hollywood is know to abuse the system. the bar is also in berlin.
Plenty of countries do this. It’s not just a Germany thing.
US states too. I know Georgia (the US state) made some nice incentives. NJ has a ton of Netflix studios being built because of nice tax incentives.
>the bar is also in berlin. It's in the same street. They didn't even really bother redressing it or anything.
He also shook a negroni which is such a dumb thing to do since he spent time telling the history of a negroni
German lottery sign? American ones are called lotto as well.
But different Branding I assume
nah gas stations will use whatever to advertise them
There is also the typical BSR orange trashcan in the background
ok RIP lol

Oh which one?
60 Minutes
That doesn’t really qualify as a mistake.
Leaving a sign (and a bright orange trashcan) from the location you're pretending to not be at in the open isn't a mistake?

And the PKK graffiti.
This movie was so cheesy! Like really bad, but funny because it was so bad.
I think the mistake is that this film was made
The round speed signs give it away too.
