(24,910 posts)For example in "The Graduate" when Hoffman is driving South on 101 headed TOWARD Santa Barbara he is shown driving through a tunnel. I've been through that tunnel scores of times except that it is on the NORTHBOUND side of the road and there is no tunnel on the south bound side.
Or when a scene is in Miami and theyre shown driving from the beach toward downtown Miami but the cruise ships are on the drivers right. If the ships are on the right, you're headed to the beach, NOT downtown.
In the 2nd Transformers movie, they suggest they are on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean but there are mountains in the background. The highest point on DG is about 30 feet or so. That scene btw was shot in Palmdale, Ca at the Plant 42 complex. I used to live in Palmdale and recognize the mountains (the San Bernardino range)
