I'll buy that. It was probably cheaper to film B movies in settings close to home, so writers who wanted movie deals might set their stories around LA. I wonder, now with the Canuck Buck so cheap and many communities offering tax incentives to film producers, have there been any films in which other, non-Californian cities sub for Los Angeles? Or is this too far off the RARA-AVIS radar?
