there and not on a back lot w/supplied stock footage? Rio's my hometown and if it has enough of it, I'll see it just for that.

It was shot in Puerto Rico and Atlanta - Analog Scott 16:28:58 05/12/11 (2)
and mostly looks it.

This is one of those so bad it's almost good movies. I had diet coke flying out my nose every time they tried to get emotional and serious. The stunts are just plain silly. But that just adds to the laughs. I love the guys falling about 300 feet into water. No worries they were just fine. Tough dudes.
- No Rio? I'm outta here! Seriously, some shots were in Rio, I think, and then FXed to put in the characters? - tinear 09:53:58 05/14/11 (1)
  A second unit must have shot a bit in Rio.

    Nothing with the actual cast.
A lot of the outside shots... - mkuller 13:40:35 05/11/11 (4)
...showing the hillside buildings and a couple of the chase scenes could actually be there.
- Or they could have been in Puerto Rico - Analog Scott 16:29:59 05/12/11 (0)
  well no, they *were* in Puerto Rico.
- The trailer made it look authentically on location. I'll bite, what the hell. Vin's my favorite action guy; - tinear 15:33:36 05/11/11 (2)
  unlike most, he actually has some chops. Remember, "Boiler Room?" I thought he'd have a "serious" actor career. Oh well. His muscles typecast him into a modern-day Jeff Chandler.
  - You would swoon when he and The Rock trade fistacuffs. - mr grits 20:11:08 05/11/11 (1)
    You would have to say, "no way he can keep up wid da ROCK". But it is Hollyweed.
    - The Rock looked... - mkuller 10:58:45 05/12/11 (0)
      ...really 'roided out.
      
      Not a particularly good look for him.
