The Naples interrogation, the Amsterdam meeting, and the Moscow car chase were actually filmed in Germany. The car chase was dressed to look like Moscow, but the chase itself was in Berlin.

I suppose its what a lot of movies do to save Money..... no point dragging half the cast to Amsterdam to film one scene that lasts barely 5 seconds.... same somewhat with Naples....I think they are being a tad unfair with the Moscow car chase, as it is clear that a large chunk of that is filmed in Moscow (just the scene with the old woman and the tunnel chase are not).
Fact they went to Moscow to film a large part of the movie is impressive as most movies usually take the cheap option and film in Prague, Helsinki (which for years made a living as standing in for Moscow), Budapest or Sofia.
They kind of take the cheap option in Ultimatum with Berlin standing in for Moscow, but again, for a scene that lasts only a few minutes, there is no point wasting time and money going to Moscow.
Really? Watching the behind the scenes footage it looks like most of the chase was actually shot in Moscow.
I don't see any potential extra expenses of shooting in Naples, Munich or Amsterdam being necessary. We got Goa, Berlin, Moscow and New York. That's enough for a Bond movie already.
Part of the subsequent car chase is indeed Moscow, but much was still Berlin

The Bourne Supremacy’s second chase was set in Moscow (and filmed in both Moscow and Berlin), where Bourne is on the run from the CIA

This shot of Bourne in his yellow Volga cab is definitely Moscow:

I bet Franka Potente's family paid for her to star in the film and she didn't want to go to LA.
shareInteresting.
Not sad. Just interesting.
I'm not really sure why it would be sad.
