And the award for the best country masquerading as another goes to…

This article from The Globe & Mail details the latest movie to be shot in Canada, where a Canadian location pretends to be an American one. This time, though, it’s “Dallas,” a remake of the tv series which ran, apparently, from 1978-91. (I thought it would have been long dead by the 1990s).

The Globe has a great list of some of the more prominent movies shot in Canada where Canadian locations are trying to be passed off as American ones. One of my favourite examples, that doesn’t make the Globe’s list, is Jackie Chan’s “Rumble in the Bronx.” It was shot in Vancouver, and you can occasionally see mountains in the background. I’ve never been to the Bronx, but I’m pretty sure there are no mountains there…

Here’s the Globe’s list:
