Rain Man

 

The opening scene where they were at the cemetery was filmed at Evergreen cemetery in Southgate. We had just returned from our Honeymoon to see Dustin Hoffman walk out of his trailer that was parked in the VFW parking lot. Our house was only a couple of blocks away.

There was a movie shot in Paris that hasn't been released yet to my knowledge that had Johnny Knoxville and the lineman from Ballers that was also on CSI.

My wife tells me that "Airborne" was filmed in Eden Park / Cincinnati and perhaps some in NKY.

"Raintree County" in Danvillle

Yep. A late '50s movie with Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Cliff.

Next of Kin

Fire Down Below

Coal Miners Daughter

 

All had scenes filmed in Eastern Kentucky I believe.

 

Parts of "Fire Down Below" were shot around Jackson in Breathitt County. A friend of mine worked at Lees Junior College in Jackson at that time and he told me a funny story that happened while the film crew was out searching for locations to film. He said he and some other people from Lees were with the movie folk and they were in several cars. Steven Seagal was in the lead car and when he saw an elderly man on the side of the road selling home made birdhouses he told his driver to stop. Everyone got out of the cars and Seagal was talking to the old man and asking him did he make the birdhouses, and other small talk. Then he bought several birdhouses. One of the people in the group from the college pointed toward Seagal and said to the man, "Do you know who this guy is?" And the old man said, "No, but if you tell me who his daddy is I might know him." :lol2:

 

I don't know about other parts of the state but that's a common response in eastern Kentucky. My daddy said that all the time when he met someone he didn't know.

"Justified" was obviously set in Kentucky, not sure how much if any of it was actually filmed in Kentucky however.

Moonshiners,but not sure where at in Kentucky

It was primarily, if not completely, filmed in California.

The Shelby Farm was used for some scenes. My Great Grandfather later bought the farm and mansion and had it til the early 70's.
