Yeah, I think it was "Bird on a Wire" which involved
Goldie Hawn being chased around downtown Detroit
for the first half of the movie. It was shot in Vancouver,
and although the producers put authentic newpaper
vending machines on the sidewalk for the Detroit News
and Detroit Free Press, the city bears no resemblence
to Detroit.
