You remind me of me when I see a movie set in NYC that is clearly filmed elsewhere. The worst of these was the camp sci-fi film "Escape From New York," in which a character is at the NY Public Library on 5th Avenue and says "We have to get to Grand Central Station. Let's take Broadway." Which elicits both guffaws and horror in this neck of the woods, as the two places are about three blocks apart, and nowhere near Broadway.
And then there are the "Washington, D.C." films that show the Mall with skyscrapers towering over it. Uh, nope. No skyscrapers in D.C., filmmakers.
