Hollywood idiots get a pass on their environmental destruction, because their liberal hearts are in the right place. It’s for the greater good of pushing liberal theology on the world.
Is Rick’s Cafe Americaine still there? ;)
Yeah, I can tell it was a real Garden of Eden before “Star Wars” came through.
They filmed much of “Red Planet” (an epic Hollywood flop) on some quarry or other and they painted a huge area of the ground reddish-orange to make it look like Mars.
It was about people going to Mars to find a way to save Earth from ecological-catastrophe.
A bit ironic if you ask me.
WIKI pointed out some errors in the film:
During a conversation between Burchenal and Gallagher, Burchenal mistakenly lists the 4 letters of genetic code as A, G, T, and P. The correct letters are A, G, T, and C.[4] Burchenal also calls the Martian insects “nematodes”, which are microscopic unsegmented worms rather than the beetle-like omnivorous insects of the film.
Due to significant scientific inaccuracies, NASA refused to serve as a scientific adviser for the film. “The science was just so off the wall that eventually we felt, ‘You guys go ahead and make your movie.’ If there’s something that’s going to be so misleading to the public that we don’t want to participate, then we’ll say no,” said Bert Ulrich, a NASA spokesperson, adding: “The big thing is, we want to make sure we’re not misleading the public completely.”[5]
yeah, but wouldn’t it have been a good idea to bring those sets back here. I mean there are some Star Wars fans who would pay top dollar for those.
I’m mad at all the classic cars they’ve destroyed going over cliffs, smashing into watermelon carts, etc.
The frozen lake scene in Behind Enemy lines was a mountaintop the bulldozed flat and poured melted wax over to make it look like a frozen lake.
Kind of cool that the place is still there and waiting for the cameras to come back
Shocking that some guy hasn’t went and made a fan film there

New Zealand has made a fortune off tourists going to Lord of the Rings and Hobbit sets. You’d think Morocco would have enough sense not to let those Tattooine sets rot.
Funny, after they filmed Escape from New York, it still
looked just like New York.
How about them private planes?
