Line 161:
* ''Wildflowers'' features a full, dense forest that characters run and hide in, in the heart of North Beach, which is one of the most urban neighborhoods in the city. The forest appears to be either Golden Gate Park or one of the other parks close to the beach, which are essentially on the opposite side of town.
* ''Sid And Nancy'' features the characters leaving San Francisco to go to the San Francisco International Airport (which is south of the city) by going across the San Mateo bridge, which is even further south of the airport and which leads to the other side of the Bay from where the airport is. If you are already in the city you don't cross any bridges to get to the airport.
* Averted in ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' as explained in [[James Rolfe]]'s [
* In the film ''Driving Lessons'', [[Rupert Grint]] and Julie Walters drive to Edinburgh, arriving on a scenic road down a hillside... which is in the centre of the city and can only be reached once you're already in the city. This is after they've driven ''south'' past a recognisable nuclear power station to get there, and following this, you see them going up alleyways and out of entirely different alleyways on the opposite side of the castle. It's a bit disorientating.

Line 253:
** To be fair, [[Rule of Cool|it's a much nicer train station]].
** Another episode referenced the San Bruno train station, which on screen was next to a hilly wooded area where they found a body. You probably couldn't really hide a body near the San Bruno train station, since there's a densely built neighborhood about 50 feet away from the train tracks... on flat ground... with no ''palm trees''.
* One episode of the US version of ''[[The Office]]'' had the cast visit Lake Scranton for a beach party. There is no beach or sandy shore at Lake Scranton, which is [
* Spoofed in ''[[Police Squad!]]'', where the Roman Colosseum and Leaning Tower of Pisa are back-projected during a trip to "Little Italy."
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'' has been filmed for the last several years in [[New Zealand]], with geography that is obviously not North American. And the seasons reversed. Some [[Lampshade Hanging]] has been employed with minor characters being "sent to New Zealand" to get rid of them. Of course, through the show's entire history, [[Stock Footage]] obviously shot in Japan has been commonplace, leading to the overwhelming prevalence of Japanese cars (not [[Everybody Owns a Ford]] in this universe), Japanese signage, a usually large number of HOV and bicycle lanes, and extras who spontaneously become Asian.
