30 Facts About Movie Locations That’ll Have You Saying ‘Okay Yeah That Makes Sense’

So that’s why they shot it there!

Facts about movie locations can be the biggest suspension-of-disbelief killers in the movie fact game. A Star Wars fan who enjoys thinking of this galaxy far, far away might not want to know that a scene was shot in the exact location where the Nazis surrendered in World War II. 

Movie fans who also happen to be huge history (and geography) buffs will get a lot out of this list, but if you’re happy in fantasy land, you might want to plug your ears and scream “La, la, la” like a six-year-old who’s afraid to face reality.
