Line 63:
* In ''[[Stick It]]'', neither Plano nor Houston has elevation changes large enough to help your bike downhill, much less to perform stunts. The film was so obviously made in Arizona and California that it isn't funny.
* Since ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' trilogy was filmed in New Zealand, there are mountains in most of the scenes. Which is fine, when they are traveling through the Middle Earth countries that are supposed to be mountainous. Except Rohan is supposed to be a huge grassland for as long as the eye can see. In the [[DVD Commentary]] [[Peter Jackson]] admits that New Zealand simply didn't have any suitable location for that description, so instead they went to show off the most interesting rock formations they could find to produce a cool look, if not a very faithful one.
* ''[[Harold and& Kumar Go to White Castle]] Go to White Castle'': In the climatic scene, the heroes {{spoiler|hang glide off a massive cliff to reach the White Castle in Cherry Hill, NJ. Sadly, there are no such cliffs.}} Though [[Rule of Funny|artistic license]] should be granted for [[Sarcasm Mode|such a serious, moving piece]].
** Especially considering ''there isn't a White Castle in Cherry Hill''. The nearest one is an hour and a half away, in Toms River.
* In the movie ''[[Swordfish]]'', the main character is shown at one point to be practicing his golf swing off the top of trailer house in Odessa, Texas with mountains picturesquely in the background sunset. Anyone who has been to Odessa falls over laughing at this.
