Clash of the Titans (old version)
Midnight Express
Munich
There are many others, but I can't remember them.
About Munich, Spielberg was actually 50 meters down the road from where I live, filming in an adjacent street.
I remember getting home from work one day, exhausted, and the buggers had actually shut the only access road to my home, quite a way from where the filming was actually being done.
I had a huge argument with the crew's security to bleeding well let me go HOME :lol, as I wouldn't even be passing through where they were filming. No luck with the 6-foot tall by 3-foot wide guys with radios, black t-shirts & in SUV's.
So I called the Mrs. from my cell phone & told her what was happening. She promptly went onto the balcony & started singing her lungs out that she wanted her husband hoooooooooome :lol
I heard some naughty words from the other street, and I was prompty let through.
I'll never forget that !
errr, that sort of eliminated the possibilty of asking for Spielberg's autograph though :lol
Great story, Alan! What portions of Spy Who Loved Me were shot there?
Here's Kevin's version of Deckard's Credit Card.
