Speaking of movies - The Hunted

Lots of nice Portland area scenes.....I "Hunted" for a decent script but couldn't find one.

You'll love the scene where Benicio del Toro jumps from the Hawthorne bridge and ends up at Willamette Falls.

Don't ya just love that crap? Reminds me of when I lived in AK and they were shooting a Steven Segal movie up there. The crew needed help building an igloo so they asked some local Natives for advice. The Natives said, "How the hell would we know? We've never even seen one."
The locals also thought it was pretty funny that the natives in the movie use dog teams to get around when in reality everybody uses snowmobiles.

Reminds me of a Chris Farley movie. Can't remember the name but his brother was running for governor of WA so they hid Chris Farley in the hills so he wouldn't embarass his brother.

They show them driving in eastern WA and they just happen to drive to Buckley right down the road. Nevermind that Buckley is on the west side. The one ironic thing was the cop car from Buckley was all souped up and the real Buckley is notorious for being a speed trap town. BTW, I'm not sure where they filmed the movie at but the Buckley in the movie looked nothing like the real one.

After hearing what the movie was about it really sounded like a stupid plot to begin with. What a waste of Tommy Lee Jones. Hunting and gutting NW dear hunters sounded pretty silly to begin with.
