The Toy with Richard Pryor.

I was a little kid, and never realized there was a joke thrown in a few times until I got older. The kid's name was Eric Bates and Richard Pryor would refer to him as "Master Bates".

The whole second half of Double Jeopardy was filmed in NO.

Another that comes to mind is a scene in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" when they are trying to find Gambit. They are literally riding Harleys down Bourbon St. and stop into one of the bars where he is playing cards. I doubt that scene inside was filmed in one of the bars on Bourbon, though.

Obviously there are a lot of movies posted that were filmed in Louisiana or based there, but I think the really neat thing is when a movie that is filmed in and/or based in Louisiana actually allows for the setting to become a character or major influencing factor in the story.

Some of those films have been mentioned, but that is one of the reasons why I have enjoyed True Detective so much. They seemed to capture the essence of a side of South Louisiana that plays its cards close to the vest, protects its own, and just gives off that vibe that outsiders are welcome... as long as they don't get too close!

The end and final battle of Universal Soldier. Takes place in Meraux, LA. Just ignore the mountains in the background of a town that's southeast of New Orleans.
