A co-worker told me about this movie a few years ago… just got around to watching it a few weeks back and I give it :tup: :tup:
weird movie… very indy, but damn cool… but maybe thats in part because it was filmed in Buffalo. Anyway, if you havent yet seen it… go do so. I couldnt find it in a store, but I did find it thru torrents.
edit: even if you dont like the story, its cool spotting landmarks around the area… especially 24K gold and the Ford plant on rt. 5 lol
parts of the movie The Natural was also filmed in Buffalo…Old Rock Pile
Vincent Gallo is a weird guy and a Buffalo native.
Lakawana Blues is about Lakawana NY. I’m not sure if it was filmed there or not.
Mana from Heaven was filmed in Buffalo. It didn’t do much in the box office as I think it had a very limited release and wasn’t publicized very much.
And of course the most famous movie about Buffalo, Bruce Almighty had nothing that was filmed in Buffalo.
ya know… I “think” that his dad/uncle used to teach one of my art classes back in HS. I’m not sure though… I remember when I was younger, him telling us that his son/nephew has written a movie and it was going to be produced but that was a while ago lol
at any rate, I’m gonna have to check out those other flicks :tup:
Another Gallo flick of interest is Brown Bunny.
Gallo does a scene with his real life girlfriend where he is getting head for real. Never saw the movie, and this is the only thing I know about it.
There was also a movie called stiletto dance filmed here, kinda like a crooked cop movie.
If you want to see vincent gallo in something really fucked up check out freeway 2 he plays a tranvestite nun that makes kiddie porn and eats the kids that he molested, now thats fucked up. Jack bauer note, he was in freeway 1 with reese witherspoon.
I saw Buffalo '66 for the first time in a class at UB about 5 years ago, great flick, definitly a little wierd though.
I saw Gallo interviewed a couple years ago and he didn’t have anything nice to say about Buffalo.
LOL I only know a small handful of people from the area that ever have anything nice to say about buffalo
U couldnt tell that by the message put across in Buffalo '66
Ya, his interview on Howard Stern where a guy called in from Buffalo knocking Gallo and Gallo replied “you and all the other Buffalonians can go pick up a mighty pack from mighty taco and go fuck yourself”
Wasn’t Sharky’s Machine filmed in Buffalo?
Also of note: BOTH the Denny’s and Mobil gas station in Buffalo '66 are no longer in business.
pretty decent movie…i def liked it
Completely off-topic… was anyone else disappointed that they didn’t film Bruce Almighty in Buffalo, nor did they show one landmark… ??? I know I was
well, they kind of did
when they were walking on lake erie you could see the buffalo skyline in the backgrund, that and the skyway in the beginning and the statler tower lol
but I know what your saying(notice how clean it looked too lol)… shit, it looked more like nyc than buffalo… I’ve never seen a stone stoop in buffalo before lol
I’ve worked at Vincent Gallo’s mothers place. One of the nicest ladies I’ve ever met and she’s quite the Buffalo/Bills fan. She has only missed like 2 games in the last 20 years.
Whats torrents or how can I watch this movie?
The original Gone in 60 Seconds was filmed here also.
The film’s director was killed also near the GM plant, I think when a telephone pole fell on him.
dont forget Ghostbusters opening scene!! buffalo library
The movie is pretty much about her, I bet she loves that.
coulda swore it was filmed someplace in cali …
