I suspect this bridge has been in a lot of things but I'm looking for the 1970s thriller.

This is actually my third choice film since Germany and its wee brother don't seem to be on Streetview any more.

Almost certainly wrong, and I would guess you've probably not seen it, but Silver Bullet?

*Ah - didn't notice the 70's thriller bit. I know you get genre straddling films, but it's highly unlikely to also be an 80's horror.

Correct, the 70s thriller is not also an 80s horror.

Also correct, Mactep's guess of the Boys from Brazil.

Mactep may be behind the Great Firewall since he was bouncing through HK the other day, so as a placeholder: which 1969 film used this shot with the protagonists in the foreground?

There may be several correct answers to this one.

Mostly just busy, but Google not available - I can't see the location you posted, for example.

Back on the other side tomorrow at midnight, which is maybe 17:00 for you?

The only Minneapolis film I can think of is Purple Rain, but I doubt that is correct.

Wasn't Fargo partly filmed in Minneapolis?

Right. No one has guessed Fargo yet. Someone should.

It's not in Mallrats - the only Minnesota location that used was the mall in Eden Prairie.

Ah crap. I need to double-check the links after posting :evil:

The car park belongs to the facility in my link. I had navigated from Second Avenue (where the building is) around the corner to Third Avenue (where the car park is), and had a clear picture of the car park on my screen, when I thought I had copied and pasted the link. And yet I got the location before I finished navigating.

The view was supposed to be here:

https://www.google.com.sg/maps/@44.9742 ... 312!8i6656

:oops:

Note that the entrance to the car park is on 8th street, which does not seem navigable in Google StreetView.

Isn't that the multi story carpark in Fargo?

If you look at the bottom left of the last link you'll see someone happy to wear an Adrian Peterson jersey in public after he was convicted of beating his son with a stick.
