where was the hunt for red october filmed
The Hunt for Red October (film) Filming in submarines was impractical. Instead, five soundstages on the Paramount backlot were used. Two 50-foot square platforms housing mock-ups of Red October and Dallas were built, standing on hydraulic gimbals that simulated the sub's movements. Connery recalled, "It was very claustrophobic. There were 62 people in a very confined space, 45 feet above the stage floor. It got very hot on the sets, and I'm also prone to sea sickness. The set would tilt to 45 degrees. Very disturbing."[4] The veteran actor shot for four weeks and the rest of the production shot for additional months on location in Port Angeles, Washington and the waters off Los Angeles.[4]
Red Hook, Brooklyn From the 1920s on, a lot of poor and unemployed Norwegians, mostly former sailors, were living in the area in what they called Ã˜rkenen Sur ("The Bitter Desert") around places like Hamilton Avenue and Gospel Hill.[7] In 2015 NRK made a documentary about it in Norwegian.[8] There is also an old documentary film about this.[9]
