Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2013-06-28 23:42	The IMDB says it was shown in France on 11th September 1989. If this is correct, it was completed at least two months before East Germany opened its borders on 9th November 1989. On that basis, I'd assume that scenes set in East Berlin were faked in either West Berlin or the UK.

tonyrome ◊ 2013-06-29 10:59	Gag Halfrunt wrote @ingo: Are the checkpoints and Berlin Wall structures real or fake? I think it's all genuine location shooting, although the shot of the Brandenburger Tor from the east side looks as though it has a different colour cast, so could be from another source. When filming at a checkpoint, I'm sure it would have been possible to film the Jensen apparently driving back past the sign, into west Berlin, without actually ever leaving west Berlin, which is what I suspect they did.
Ingo ◊ 2013-06-30 09:34	This is definitely a faked location: http://pics.imcdb.org/13747/untitled-4.jpg as the whole DDR-part of the crossing point is missing This looks authentic: http://pics.imcdb.org/13747/untitled-1.1.jpg possibly Checkpoint Charlie -- Last edit: 2013-06-30 09:35:17
Ingo ◊ 2013-06-30 09:39	tonyrome wrote Completed. This movie is set in Berlin, during Summer 1989, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Filmed in 1987, as it seems. The ASU (pollution test) sticker is pink, so for 1987 /vehicle_609422-Mercedes-Benz-S-Klasse-W116-1973.html The plate here looks authentic.

Ingo ◊ 2013-06-30 10:57	although the traffic island looks authentic, the container-building, too, it's the question, which border crossing point it should be, with such a wide multi-lane street in the background. Definitely not Checkpoint Charlie, as the Friedrichstraße is narrower and with a closer development. Oberbaumbrücke neither, Bornholmer Straße (where everything started at the 9.11.1989) neither. Chausseestraße maybe? If yes, it would be a goof, because only West Berlin-citizens were allowed to use this crossing point. Btw.: everything except Check Point Charlie would be a goof anyways, because foreigners, as the British "Saint", could only use this point (plus the U-Bahn-checkpoint Friedrichstraße) So if a group of fellows from West-Berlin, West Germany and a foreign country, wanted to visit East Berlin, they had to separate each other before, take different crossing point and have to meet again in the East. Which was slightly uncomfortable back then, because it was in the pre-mobile phone times (those few, which have already existed in the 80ies, were not allowed in the DDR anyways) -- Last edit: 2013-06-30 10:57:41
