thedistrict84 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I know this movie has been mentioned before as one of those shot in Houston, but I don’t think there has been a thorough discussion about the locations used in the film. For those unaware, this is a film starring Dolph Lundgren as an HPD detective investigating a string of murders tied to the drug trade. The plot is far fetched, the dialogue a bit cliched, campy and flat out awful sometimes, and the explosions a bit over the top. But, it was shot almost exclusively in and around downtown Houston and gives a decent portrayal of what downtown was like in the late 1980s. It also provides some cool shots of the downtown Houston skyline, including a close-range flyover from the north side of downtown looking south, focused on Heritage Plaza (which was just recently completed at the time). A few of the notable locations featured: •HPD/municipal court building on Lubbock •Capitol Bail Bonds at 607 Houston Ave •The Harris County Court annex at 1310 Prairie (which were apparently high-end apartments back then?) •Cullen Center •Various storefronts on Main St. •Navigation St underpass (an HPD cruiser even crashes into the center support) There are a ton of other locations which I don’t recognize, but then again it was almost 30 years ago so some of those places are long gone. Maybe some of y’all can identify the ones I left out? (I’m not sure if this is the proper place for this, so Mods feel free to move it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
