Comment on When did a movie misrepresent the country or city you live in?

The only one that comes to mind is a film called The 51st State starring Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Carlyle.
There was a group of us at a job many, many years ago performing a survey of Liverpool. One night in the hotel, Channel 4 broadcast the film, which is set in the city. The following morning, two of the guys who had been surveying all the backstreets and alleyways commented that the chase in the film made no sense to them. This was because they could see the cars were jumping to different spots in the city, and it wasn’t coherent.
But I guess you could make that comment about a lot of car chases in the movies.

You can try but I fear we are in an It Follows situation here. Not sure which of us is it though.
