Welcome to the Open Book Blog Hop! This week’s theme -
Has a book or movie ever been based somewhere you've lived? How did it compare?
The Eddie Murphy movie - Beverly Hills Cop. At the beginning of the movie Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is a Detroit undercover police office and the situation goes south and there is a wild car chase scene. That scene was shot in Detroit, Michigan. I grew up across the river in Windsor, Ontario Canada, not exactly in Detroit but close enough.
The area where the scene was shot was where the '68 riots occurred and to this day a lot of it still looks as bad as when the movie was filmed in the 80s. Gentrification is happening so some areas are being cleaned up - but it is still a depressed area.
