Never heard of Joe's Drive-in, don't believe it existed in Miami from the late 50s on.  Can't even find it in your post? or on C Glide's Goldfinger site.

Start around 0:24 of the Goldfinger video.

Here's another Italian movie filmed in Miami which I found. It's called Cane e Gatto.

There are great shots of Miami in this.

Is that the same guy who ended up making the Italian TV show with PMT in Miami after MV ended?

Here's some Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies filmed in Miami with great locations.

Go For It. Great locations in this movie:

Odds and Evens. This movie features the Fontainebleau and Jai Alai arena.
This shows the original Fontainebleau pool also seen in Goldfinger.

Bad Boys For Life

This movie is so bad that I had trouble getting through it.  However, if you liked the first two Bad Boys movies, you would like this for sentimental reasons.  I wish they had made a Miami Vice reunion movie like this.

Most of the Miami locations are easily recognizable - Ocean Drive in South Beach, Ocean Terrace in North Beach, some downtown driving, Watson Island for the wedding and end celebration.

Most interesting to me was this location:

I searched Miami and Atlanta but couldn't find it.  Finally after a long time I found the skyline background in Miami:

Finally I gave up and looked up the answer .  The building is in Atlanta and they just added the Miami skyline with CGI.

They used the same background in another scene:

I just published the movie, 2 Fast 2 Furious on my location web site: http://www.floridamovielocations.org/page45.html

near the end of the opening race, this clip is unknown:

2f2fb.png.d9df6b2f20fdf6e7369b121eced110f6.png

I believe they are at SW 13th St & S Miami Ave, camera looking eastbound toward Brickell.

An interesting shot near the end of "2 Fast 2 Furious":

2f2fc.png.748a2d1a513eb8b53d0b2c8319f5703f.png

  • house directly at the water's edge
  • dock
  • uninhabited piece of land in the distance

The rest of this jump scene was filmed near the lighthouse on Key Biscayne.  I don't see how this clip could be Key Biscayne or Virginia Key.  Some of the movie was filmed in the Florida Keys, so maybe it's there.

This might be a CGI combination of two different camera shots.  They did that once during the opening race scene.

My family and I stayed in that Bal Harbour Sheraton where "Analyze This" was filmed.  It was either shortly before or after the film came out.  Nice hotel from what I remember.  Shame it was torn down.

This shot in "2 Fast 2 Furious" is obviously not Florida.  It's probably in Los Angeles.

2f2ff.png.98ce855ca9af94b3f4f5aaebc9b566db.png

I don’t know where it is, but it doesn’t look like anywhere in Los Angeles to me.  Maybe it’s somewhere else in California but I’ve lived in SoCal my whole life and it doesn’t seem at all like the area.  Much too green, for one thing.

Here’s an interesting old film, How do I Love Thee from 1970 starring Jackie Gleason. It was filmed in and around Miami.  There are scenes at the Old Spanish Monastery, The University of Miami, Miami International Airport, downtown Miami, on the beaches lining the Rickenbacker Causeway,  Coral Gables, the Biltmore Hotel, and around the DeSoto Fountain.  It's a good story and I'm a Jackie Gleason fan.  Click on the link below to watch the entire film.

"Get Shorty"

Dennis Farina and Martin Ferrero in the scene there.

I totally forgot Martin Ferraro was in this.  Probably Dennis Farina's best role!  I always thought Ray Bones was like a continuation of his character Jimmy Serrano in "Midnight Run".

  • The finale, set in Washington DC, reportedly was filmed in Hollywood at Warner Center Plaza.
  • The bar Alabama Jacks claims to have been part of this film.   I doubt it, but I'm not sure.
  • About 30 minutes into the movie he visits a little girl witness.  The house is on a canal, near a bridge, and across the street the address is "990".  I couldn't locate it, but it's findable.
  • I couldn't find the "Ocean Reef Cafe Market".  Anybody who has been to the Keys recognize it?
