For that matter, I get a kick out of when, in the movies, they shoot
somewhere other than where the setting of the story is, and choose a

OMG, the worst case of that I've seen was the chick flick "Message in
a Bottle". I don't even know if it's a good movie, because I was so
distracted by the obviously wrong setting. The movie was supposedly
North Carolina, but it was clearly shot somewhere (Maine, I think)
with 10-15 foot tides and rocky shoreline. Everytime there was harbor
scene, it was all I could do to not yell "bull****".

One of the movies screened for our annual Insect Fear Film Festival
had a very young Peter Graves (Mission Impossible) battling giant
radioactive something or other and he had to consult with a
famous entomologist at the University of Illinois. He got in his
car and started to drive from Chicago to Champaign through some
of the most beautiful mountain scenery I've seen on film. Much
hooting, hollering and guffawing ensued. ;-) That Film Festival
in general is always a hoot.
