  2. Funny how naive I can be as a film viewer. I just always assumed they filmed the Detroit scenes in Detroit. Why would they go all the way to Detroit to film like 2 scenes? lol. Duh.

    1. But, where the scenes on the streets with the big truck ramming other cars at the beginning were filmed?

  4. I do believe 0:05 (Crossing the train tracks) was taken at 42.33394002739676, -83.02876607844752
    The buildings and railroads have long since been razed though, and there are new apartments there.

  5. Victor Maitland's house was sold in 1994 for $3.2mm. 19 years later, it was on the market for $30mm. It didn't sell, so they rented it out at $45,000 per month. It finally sold in mid-2015 for $23mm. So a 7 times increase in 21 years, which is a 9.8% annual increase on average. Then it was sold again in 2021 for $49mm ( an annual increase of 13% per year ). But the new owner does have to pay property tax of $580k per year. Ouch !
