When we watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Out of the Shadows last night I gasped in disbelief !
Already knew that NYC would feature heavily in the flick , but I least expected the movie to be mostly filmed right smack in the area , where I treaded up and down daily during my short sojourn there .
Felt like I'd hit the jackpot !!!
In case you're wondering why we're seeing it first in Malaysia , simple , doing so beats piracy to a certain extent .
Here are the iconic locations I recognised so far .
1. Chrysler Building
Of all the towers , I found that although dwarfed , The Chrysler stood out most and woah what an epic rush of a background it proved to be indeed !
Hope you notice the all important manhole in the foreground .
When it came to the scene where that ( cool tomcat , hockey stick wielding ) Casey Jones ( Stephen Amell ) got down from the vehicle at the corner of the street after smashing up a bar while looking for Bebop ( he's so funny, I love him ! ) and Rocksteady ( Sheamus ) , I almost let out a scream ! I passed by this corner of Bryant Park ( my favourite stop by place ) where the little stall is on a daily basis .
There was an eventual foot chase / running scene down here too !
3. Grand Central Terminal .
If I recall correctly , Baxter crossed the road here .
Inside is where April makes her super sexy entrance as an adulating nerd / geek one minute and Britney schoolgirl next .
4. Times Square Police Beat
Where the barricades are.
Unbelievable !
There's a scene where she reports live and you'll see diners in the background
5. Brooklyn Bridge
Didn't venture here but hey , you might wanna include this in your itenary
Watch the movie to spot more places.
Hint : the Natural History Museum
Better still , fly there and live the set experience for yourself
Just make sure you pick a pad ;)
