Travel2003 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Just saw a classic on tv. Good morning Vietnam. I learned that most of the movie was shot in Bangkok. Any of the old dogs remember this? Anyone know where in BKK they shot it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudolus Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Phuket for the most part and only a tad in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Practically all of it was shot in Phuket, the city scenes in Phuket town because of its old Sino-Portuguese architecture, which closely resembles that of Saigon during the Vietnam War era.

Travel2003 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 I thought that movie stunk...big time Fair enough. Still, it became a popular movie (classic), and the question was where they shot it. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) I believe Williams' kind of love interest in the movie was a Thai actress playing a Vietnamese young woman, whereas the girl's brother appears to have been an actual Vietnamese guy based on the actor's name.

Well, if you are going to thrash a movie, better be sure it is the right one. ;-) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
