    Quite a few flicks - going back quite a ways I'm pretty sure Rocky 4
    and First Blood never said they were filimed in Canada (Vancouver and
    Hope BC/Manning Park - which is just east of Hope - respectively)

    Nor did Man in the High Castle say it was filmed in Vancouver though
    it clearly was.

    If you mean generally, how does one tell you a particular flick was
    without coming right out and telling you?

    Funny thing is you would have thought Whatcom County, WA (which is the Washington county that borders the Canadian border closest to the
    coast would have gotten a few - it's about an hour's drive north of
    Seattle and within easy range of Vancouver - though it's more "lunch
    bucket" than Vancouver (which is not surprising given the county's
    population around 230000 which is about 1/12th of Vancouver's
    population)

    I just meant that any film with both these actors was almost surely
    filmed in Canada.
