In both Scarface films, the main character was based on Al Capone — one of history's most notorious mobsters. Both Tony Camonte (from the 1932 film) and Tony Montana (from the 1983 film) were depicted as big-time mafia bosses. Capone died much more quietly.

That prompted some scenes to be shot in California, such as Tony's trophy house, known as the El Fureidis Estate, in Montecito, California. It was Tony's palatial trophy home that was a big part of the movie carnage when Tony killed over 20 assassins in his final desperate stand.

Anchorman (2004): A comedy featuring Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate, Anchorman was set in 1970s San Diego but very little was actually filmed here. Aerial shots of modern-day downtown San Diego are seen in the movie and a consultant was a local anchorman, Jack White of Channel 10 news.
Following its renewal by BET, the show's production base moved from Los Angeles to Georgia. From fourth season onwards, the show was shot on a set at the 33-acre EUE/Screen Gems Studios that was built on the historic Lakewood Fairgrounds, in Atlanta, Georgia.
