Just watched this, it's starring De Niro and Pacino. The reviews on it
were pretty bad and maybe low expectations allowed me to enjoy this
much more than I would have if I knew nothing except it was a movie
with Bobby and Al Co-Headlining. At any rate, I wish I could have seen
these guys work together 30 years ago but this thing is still worth
checking out....

When possible and on limited budget -- they like to shoot in Canada,
they can get around the unions and save $$. The entire Stargate
series was shot/produced there. There's a thriving mini-entertainment
mecca in Canada now, the Toronto film festival has become a player
with influence. That said, the majority of films are still shot in
LA; the industry is located here and an infrastructure is in place.
I-wuzz is correct, HEAT was filmed in LA. The bank shoot-out was
staged downtown close to the main library.

I agree - well worth the time if for no other reason than seeing Pachino and
Deniro work together again.
Last time I saw them together in a crime film was "Heat", which was also a
good flick. Interesting point (to me any way) about "Heat". I was in
Winnipeg a couple of years ago, waiting to get a charter flight out to a
fishing camp in the Northwest Territories the next morning. I decided to
take a tour of Winnipeg and hired a local guide to drive me around. I
thought I saw the street where they filmed the bank robbery scene in "Heat"
and asked the tour guide. He confirmed that the scene was filmed there in
downtown Winnipeg. I also played in a local $15/$30 poker game with some
really bizarre rules but that's another story.

"HEAT" was filmed in L.A./other parts of Cali, Mike.
Perhaps you shoulda asked the pink elephant before you had another drink
with your, ah, er, "tour guide"...
I think from now on RGP should just refer to you as "Otis from Mayberry".

Hold on there, bucko, he may be telling the truth. In Winnipeg there are only
two places to play poker legally. The first is Club Regent. They have both
limit and no limit hold 'em. But if he went to McPhillips Street Station then
his only option would have been to play a game called Texas hold 'em Bonus,
and it is a rather silly game.
Here are the rules:
Texas Hold’em Bonus
Texas Hold’em Bonus is an exciting, new game that is based on popular Texas
Hold’em Poker. To play, you must make the Ante wager, after which you will
then be dealt two cards. Once you receive your two hole cards you can either
fold or bet 2X your Ante. The dealer then reveals the three-card flop. You now
have a choice to either check or place a bet equal to your Ante. The dealer
then reveals the fourth community card and you have the option again to either
check or place a bet equal to your Ante. Finally the fifth card is revealed,
no more bets are accepted and the dealer turns over all the cards and makes
the best five-card hand. The dealer then reveals his two hole cards and
announces his hand. If your hand is higher than the dealer’s hand, you win
even money on all bets, and in some cases, the Ante as well. You must have a
Straight or better to be paid even money on the Ante. Otherwise, the Ante
pushes.

Looked like the same place to me. Of course, he probably wouldn't be the
first tour guide who ever lied to a tourist. Although a lot of Hollywood
flicks do film in Canada in cities like Vancouver because it's cheaper and
easier to manage. Tried to go to the movie data base to find where the bank
robbery scene from "Heat" was filmed but couldn't find it. Although I did
do a search of movies filmed in Winnipeg and "Heat" didn't show up.
However, that still doesn't mean a scene or two could not have been filmed
there. Who knows?

Winnipegers do not lie. They are, however, the most agreeable people on
earth (that's why I never fit in). If a guest says he thinks Heat was filmed
in Winnipeg, then yes, it *was* filmed in Winnipeg -- at least for the
duration of his visit.
fwiw, I was living in Winnipeg when this film would have been shot....I
think I probably would have known about it.

Fell is under the impression Canada is a metric country so you can feed that
fish any line you like and I know he'll bite. I however have lived in Winnipeg
all my life and when I hear someone say shit like that it makes me question
whether they've spent even a second of their life here.
Too much time at Portage and Main? That makes no sense at all.

Isn't portage and main the windiest location in the country? That' what i
was told. By point was that if that was the only part of the city he saw
then he didn;t see enough. I have been there on business trips and seen a
bit of the city but the last time i was near there I took the bypass.

I owe you an apology. I thought it was you who claimed to have lived in
Winnipeg but on second glance I see that it was Bill who spent time here. My
apologies for the confusion.
You are correct about the intersection being dubbed the windiest corner in
Canada. However if you want to make your way across the street you would have
to go underground to Winnipeg Square where the temperature is quite
comfortable in order to reach your destination. Portage and Main has been
closed to pedisterian traffic for nearly 30 years.

The last time I was there it was the end of January. I booked a hotel
attached to the underground and the office was as well. It was fantastic
and it was built and is cared for a lot better the the underground in
Toronto.
The first time I ever stood out there was when I was a smoker and that is
when I noticed there is no way for a pedestrian to cross. Took me a few
minutes to figure out how to get across the street.

I've played in both of the poker rooms in Winnipeg. The one I referred to
in my post was the one where the poker room was in a "library-like" setting.
They were playing $10/$20 but when my mate and I sat down they asked if we
wanted to switch up to $15/$30 and we said fine. Nice guys, won some money,
had a good time. The rule I was referring to was written and posted. It
said that no player could hide their eyes from another player - so no sun
glasses allowed. That was the first time I had ever seen that rule. I
think they also had a "bill-drop-slot" on the poker table like you usually
see on a black jack or pit game table. Next time I was in Winnipeg I played
in the other poker room (I'm too lazy to go look up whether it was Regent or
McPhillips Street). Any way, it was a smaller room and I think the highest
they spread was $3/$6 or $4/$8. Again, nice guys and an enjoyable game. I
think they told me that the bigger "library-like" poker room had since
closed. I asked why and the guy said the locals didn't want to pay the rake
and had started private and home games instead. Winnipeg is a nice city
with great fishing right out your back door. Don't think I'd care to spend
the winter there though. I usually spend the afternoon and night in
Winnipeg and then get a charter flight to the NWT fishing camp in the
morning. Although on one trip, I rented a car when I was done with the
fishing trip and drove from Winnipeg to Regina, Sask. to play some poker at
Casino Regina. But that's another story.

Are you quite well? It sounds like the cold has addled your brains.
BTW, I have been through Winnipeg a few times, but am not silly enough to
stay. One of your only redeeming features is the Curling museum.

It appears you had the same tour guide as Mike.
Next time you make your way to this part of the country give me a shout-out a
day or two in advance and I could let you know what's going on. There's always
something to do.
BTW, if you don't mind me asking, where do you live?

I currently live in Kingston, ON. I grew up in Ottawa (which was far too
cold for my liking). I spent several years out west, living in Comox on
Vancouver island, and in Abbotsford and Coquitlam in the Greater Vancouver
area, as well as a short time in Arizona.

Ah, yes, the infamous Arizona trip. I think we all know how that turned out.
You have my deepest condolences.
Hopefully I'll see you at an RGP home game soon. Thanks.

pfffft...Winnipeg is an awesome city. Tons to do. Great restaurants,
entertainment, architecture, and the nicest, least pretentious people you
will ever meet. If it wasn't for the extreme cold in the winter and the
mosquitoes in the summer I'd probably still be there. Both my wife and I
look back on the 4 years we spent there with great fondness.

Parka. Touque. Gloves. Problem solved.
As for mosquitoes last summer I took my dog to the park just about every day
and the number of times I was bitten could be counted on one hand. Not once
did I use mosquito repellent. It's also a myth that mosquitoes here are large
enough to carry away a small child. It's all bullshit. Don't believe
everything you read.

June of 2005 the wife dog and I are driving across the country. We decide
to pull off the road to sleep in a few places. One was 30 mins west of
Winnipeg. Let the dog out for a pee settle in to the back for a nap. the
car got too hot with the windows up so we cracked them. the buzzing and
biting were so bad we went back to Winnipeg, found a 24 pharmacy and
rented a hotel room. The poor dog was so bothered in the car that he was
trying to bite the mosquito's while they were flying in the air.
Maybe it was a bad season.

Maybe it was bad timing.
In 2005 the city hired a new entomologist. His environmently friendly approach
to control the mosquito population ended in disaster. "More larviciding!", he
yelled. "More dragonflies!", he screamed. "FUCK YOU!", we replied. Then we
bombed the city with malathion.

"The Friends Of Eddie Coyle" is a great movie shot in and around Boston.
The story is based on a novel written by a Boston lawyer.
I think Robert Mitchum played one of his best characters in this movie;
Peter Boyle is in it, also.
Okay, back to Canadian talk.

There are a number of people in the San Fernando valley who generate
their annual income from renting out homes they own for porn shoots.
2k a day is the standard rate.
It's a crazy mixed-up world.

I agree, "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" is a Good movie. It had the kind of
realistic, dark, understated threat of violence that is much more effective
than the cartoonish shoot-em up nonsense that passes for most gangster films
today. Seems to me there was an English flick that was some-what along this
line and also good. I think it was "Good Friday" (could be wrong on the
title) with Bob Hoskins (sp?) and a very young Pierce Brosnan who had a
small part at the end as and IRA shooter. If fact, I just added both movies
to my Blockbuster online queue.

On a different note but staying with movies, they shot the film On Thin Ice
starring Diane Keaton in my brothers home. They used it as a crack house and
in one room upstairs they plastered the wall with graffiti. After the shoot he
turned it into a music studio and has left the walls the same ever since. It
looks cool. They also paid him a decent dollar for the use of his house. But
that's another story.

I was in San Francisco and took a tour of one of the "painted ladies" across
from Alamo Park. These are the line of old Victorian style homes that are
frequently used in movies and TV shows. Any way, I was talking with the
owner and he said that he actually got an agent to represent his house.
Every time they used it in a film he got about $35K. Which he said was
about what it costs him to have the house painted.

That's some expensive paint. My brother got no where near that amount for his
house. I believe he got a little more than a thousand a week for the 6 week
stay. They also paid his accomodations at the Hotel Fort Garry. Rooms there
run about a hundred a night. Add in the per diem of 75 a day and travelling
expenses and he probably collected in the neighbourhood of 12-13K.

you are right about a lot of movies being filmed in part in Canada
Toronto, Vancouver are 2 of the big options.
Unfortunately the guy was misinformed. IMDB lists the locations.

Thanks bucko - I stand corrected. Next time I'm in Winnipeg I'll track down
that lying tour guide, beat him to death and shoot his dog. (Just kidding
about the dog). For some strange reason, I always enjoy seeing the places
where movies were filmed. We should start a thread about this.

Me too. I work in Toronto so i see a lot of film shoots around. I passed
pretty much through the crew of Max Payne when it was filmed here going
from my office to the train.
Remember the movie The Ladies Man with Tim Meadows? It was based on a SNL
skit, it was filmed almost entirely in Toronto. There is a song and dance
number with Will Farrell on the steps of an office building. I sat and
watched them shoot that over and over as it was my office building they
were in front of. They all looked like they were having fun.
Creepiest movie I saw them film was American Physco. Another almost entire
Toronto shoot, the court yard to his office is the same offices that I was
in. I could see the filming from the window of our test lab.
