List of some of the places that we visited where famous films have been shot.
[BUG: check]
The Incredible Hulk 2008 film includes an aerial view, an impressive helicopter footage that gives a fair idea of the enormity of the favela and its complex assortment of seemingly endless chaotic constructions.
[BUG: Cidade de Deus?]
See description.
Werner Herzog. Fitzcarraldo (1982).
Parts of Robinson Crusoe (the 1997 film starring Pierce Brosnan) were filmed close to Madang, according to Busybee, a local tourguide, who was in charge of showing Mr. Brosnan around and who is thus credited in the ending titles of the movie.
"Anna and the King" was filmed in several locations on Penang eventhough the events of the film take place in Thailand. See more here.

James Bond [BUG: The Man With The Golden Gun? where Bond also vists Macau and Kowloon, see here].
was filmed in Phnom Bakheng, Bayon and Ta Prohm. See here:
The Cambodian temple complex, where Croft must retrieve the half of the triangular MacGuffin, is at Siem Reap in Cambodia, where she arrives, with game-style ease, onto Phnom Bakheng, a hill topped by a Hindu temple (though the site later became a Buddhist centre).
She tools up and scoots off in her Land Rover in front of the sacred Bayon temple, in Angkor Thom, its 54 towers, each bearing four enigmatic smiling faces. The most spectacular temple of all, entwined with enormous trees, where Croft encounters the mysterious girl, is Ta Prohm.
The most famous, Angkor Wat itself (the largest religious monument in the world and a World Heritage site), looms over the Cambodian village. It appears to be on a river It’s not. The village was no more than a set built around a small ornamental pond.
Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim, with Peter O’Toole.
Wong Kar-wai. "Chungking Express"
In Macau stayed in San Va Hospedaria which is on the street where Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was filmed. Lonely Planet China 2007 writes:
Not far west of Largo do Senado is Rua da Felicidade (Street of Happiness). Its red-shuttered terraces were once Macau’s main red-light district. You might recognise it from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which has several scenes shot here.
Wikipedia writes:
The Last Emperor (1987), a biographical film about Puyi, was the first feature film ever authorised by the government of the People's Republic of China to be filmed in the Forbidden City.
