Crockettt Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Could someone help me identify this house from movie Transporter 2 ?Street View:Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I have the movie, have seen the movie, have plans to work on the movie to place it on my web site but I have not done any work on finding locations yet. But I will take a look at this w/i the next 24 hours. From your screen captures it should not be hard (famous last words). Is it on the water? From your picture it should be located either nearly 37 blocks from downtown or 37 blocks north of South Pointe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's on the water, but the high-rises can be seen in the background : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Glide Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Nice find SoflaJeremy! I would say easy peasy but it was not. For such a big house with so many clues it was harder to find than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so the location hid from me for a while. Part of it because of it's proximity to hi-rise development and the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) The pics in this old thread got nuked, but I think you all had found the villa at 3681 Flamingo Drive Miami Beach. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3681-Flamingo-Dr-Miami-Beach-FL-33140/43890276_zpid/? This movie features two historic Miami buildings that I had never heard of. The school at the beginning is the Old United States Post Office at 100 NE 1st Ave in downtown Miami. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_United_States_Post_Office_and_Courthouse_(Miami,_Florida) https://goo.gl/maps/ATfrwZKbKimAMdX16 Frank chases down one of the bad guys at the Dade Commonwealth Building at 139 NE 1st St in downtown Miami. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyer–Kiser_Building Frank jumps a jet ski out of the water onto a street and guess where this happens? Exactly where the boat jumps out of the water in South Beach early in "Lend Me An Ear"! In the background yYou can see the 24th Street footbridge. Crockett jumps off that bridge onto a boat in "One Way Ticket". Edited October 30, 2021 by airtommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 The bad guy's house should be easy to find, but I'm stumped. It's on the bay and we see the background (causeway, skyline, islands). The pool has a unique angular shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the bay and we see the background (causeway, skyline, islands). The pool has a unique angular shape. looks mysterious indeed. But they used at least two different locations for filming. 1 is the house with lot of glass at the bay. There are smaller green islands in front of the long green coastline and a causeway in the middle between green islands we see in another scene-see below. I don´t know any such configuration in Miami (Beach). 2 is the house with the dense green jungle driveway. This is a different house as there is no such a jungle driveway at a house at the bay anywhere that I know of. This second house is a concrete structure and looks exactly like the Cook house in Blood&roses at 5255 N Kendall Drive. See picture comparison below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 there are some additional angles of the houses in a BTS video that should help to find the bay house. This video also shows that the garage fight scenes were not filmed in the bay house and the jungle house, but rather a third location.

Tom Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) @airtommyOK, I found the bad guy´s house number 1 within 5 minutes after again considering the coastline & 2 small islands we see behind the bay. It´s 12685 Biscayne Bay Drive. House was built in 1997, just a few years before filming in October 2004. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/12685-Biscayne-Bay-Dr_North-Miami_FL_33181_M59927-43743#photo2 That´s north of Broad Causeway (that´s the causeway we see in the background) and close to Greenwich Studios where they filmed. The pool with unique shape is there and the hedge we see in the BTS video shot. And, there is no jungle driveway, thus house "number 2" (same location in movie/driveway shooting, but different location in reality) is proven with 5255 N. Kendall Drive. That´s the only time I know that we see that rare VICE location anywhere else, as there is no realtor photo.. Why can´t I be that fast with the last MV locations unknown (Ballard house)?

airtommy Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Amazing work! I didn't recognize Cook's house at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) the hotel is the Intercontinental Miami in Downtown at Chopin Plaza. Easy peasy with the BoA Tower in the background along 2nd Avenue. A lot of chase scenes were filmed nearby at the Bayside marina and mall.

Tom Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 The house of his French friend looks similar in style to the Blatt house 2538 Lincoln Ave and Scotty´s house at 4001 Hardie Ave. Certainly Coconut Grove anywhere en route to 5255 N Kendall drive where they filmed the entrance shooting scene only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDurden389 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'm almost positive I've drove down that block. VID_20210504_201334870.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
