Fakest New York You've Seen In A Film?

[head shots101]

Canada

lol who told u that?

edit
"Get Rich or Die Tryin”' was filmed on location in New York — where the majority of the exterior scenes were shot amidst the constant noise of the El Train on the streets of High Bridge in the Bronx, giving the scenes their gritty edge. The film's interiors were built and shot on a soundstage in Toronto

Reel Toronto: Get Rich or Die Tryin’


BY DAVID FLEISCHER

Remember when Fiddy Cent was the most baddest-ass man on the planet, rappin’ about the gangsta life and all that? Yeah, it’s a bit hazy for us too. But the man was a multi-media superstar way back in 2005.

He was so big they gave him his own semi-autobiographical movie. See, Eminem also got one of those, but he got Curtis Hanson to direct and they shot on the mean streets of his hometown, Detroit. Fiddy here, he also managed to get a dude with some cred (Jim Sheridan!), but while he may really be from the streets of New York, when push came to shove it was time to come north to Toronto to film the sucka.

We get started with some stuff flashing back to 50 Cent’s younger days. The New York street upon which he lives is actually Carlaw Avenue, south of Queen.

There’s a couple of fast school scenes that were shot at Givins Shaw PS.

They also do some hanging out at this fancy fast-,food outlet, actually a Popeye’s on Weston Road.

You gots to have yourself some shootouts, and a pretty big one goes down at this corner store, here. It looks a bit like New York, but it’s actually here, at the corner of Bleecker Street and Howard.

So, if people are getting shot, they must get treated at hospitals, eh? This one is Humber River Regional.

And if things don’t go so well? Well, they get a lovely ceremony here, at the oft-filmed St. John’s Norway Cemetery.

The bad dude operates a club that happens to be the soon-to-be-departed Big Bop.

You can get a bit of a better view here, when the crowd clears out and you can see the distinctive tiled floor.

Fiddy and his homeboys have themselves something of a rendezvous and you can see a bit of our glorious skyline behind the car here. That would place homeboy on Villiers Street, with a view awfully close to this one.

More bad doings here, at the former Canary Restaurant. There’s some love for the interior…

…and the front window.

After being shot, 50 Cent understandably wants to get in touch with younger, happier times, so he heads out to chill at Wasaga Beach.
Then it’s only a matter of time until dude gets his mojo back, puts on his Yankees cap, and hits the stage, the gangsta life and all that horrible stuff behind him and an acting career ahead.

According to his Wikipedia entry (which actually has a subsection called “Other Feuds“), his net worth today is $440 million, so it’s abundantly obvious he didn’t die tryin’, and that’s a message we can all get behind.

Seinfeld was horrible at showing new york, like when they walk on the block, new york doesnt look like that. King of Queens was the worst at showing queens and new york. Friends was really bad at it too

The Blocks On Seinfeld Looked Like The Sesame Street Set lol

u obviously not from new york then

 

[OneManGang]

Smh @ me for never noticing them mountains in Rumble in the Bronx. Maybe its been a while and I was too young to care. Classic movie.

Hasnt come out yet but Anchorman 2 has scenes from 1980s New York that are really just a well disguised block in downtown ATL in the middle of Georgia State's campus. I saw them filming. They paid all the shop owners to close for about a week and painted the stores and streets over while putting props all over.

BTW Some Of Get Rich Or Dying Trying Was Filmed In NY

I Remember Them Filming On 207th Street, That Scene Where 50 As A Kid Is Selling Drugs Under The Train Station

I Remember They Had Wallpaper With Fake Graffiti That They Would Stick On The Walls Of Nearby Buildings

Really? You're gonna tell me that the set on any of those shows look like New york? Especially the outside sets.

the vibe and feel of the show was more NY than anything i ever seen

 

[R.O. Double]

The first Spiderman movie when they did the World's Fair scene in Time Square was fake. I was an extra in that scene it was filmed in Downey California.

yeah i agree with the vibe n feel. You would have to live in new york to get a lot of those jokes and references, but as far as the looks, it's not anything like new york except the offices and apartments. Seinfeld is my favorite show but i think they could have done better.
