+1 on True Romance. Insane cast and good movie. Tons of shots in Del Ray and Zug Island road.

Several years ago there was a TV show that was only on for about 4 episodes that filmed mostly in the Cass Corridor and along Michigan Avenue. This was befire 187 and it was a show about crime that mixed in petty crime and was topical to what was going on with the Casinos, and the mayor at the time. Does anyone remember that or its name?

"Scarecrow" was a decent Movie. The ending scene is a lengthy scene filmed at the Belle Isle Scott Fountain. w/Al Pacino, 1973.

Sounds like it could be Detroit Swat. It was an A&E documentary.Several years ago there was a TV show that was only on for about 4 episodes that filmed mostly in the Cass Corridor and along Michigan Avenue.

there was also that A&E Reality Show 'The First 48' , which ended in tragedy in detroit.
True Romance is probably my favorite Tarintino movie [[he wrote it but didn't direct it). Dennis Hopper is a guard at the Packard Plant.
if you want to see wesley snipes in game of death, it is released on youtube.
but dont blame me if you feel like you wasted an hour off your life though.
i work on the film and it was originally set in new your but was changed to be about detroit. was a fun movie to work on though.

"Out of Sight". Great movie. Where is that house at the end supposed to be? I always pictured it as being on Hamilton Road at Pontchartrain Blvd though its probably more suburban.
No one has really grabbed the backdrop of Detroit's architecture though and ran with it as Detroit. Looking forward to that in some future movie. Like if "the Crow" had actually been filmed in Detroit...
I think you are thinking of EZ Streets, which starred Ken Olin, Carl Lumby, Joe Pantoliano, and Jason Gedrick. Actually one of my all time favorites series, even though it had such a limited run.Several years ago there was a TV show that was only on for about 4 episodes that filmed mostly in the Cass Corridor and along Michigan Avenue.

This was a movie car sold on flint craigslist
Blue Collar
Not so sure about "best" [[I've never seen this one) but "Tigertown" with Roy Scheider.

The opening scenes of Beverly Hills Cop was shot in Detroit.
Very little of Detroit Rock City was actually shot in Detroit, it looked to me like they blew through town without even getting out of their car.
Remember when the cast "arrives" in Detroit via the Macarthur Bridge? LOL!
DRC sucked anyway!

As a kid, I was at Tiger Stadium for a game with my cub scout pack when they were doing some filming for the movie, which I never gave a second thought about.
I never saw the movie until many years later, when I watched it with my daughter. To my surprise, on the screen I saw my sister and I smiling at the camera in a crowd shot!
Yes, that was it.
I loved that show, and it featured some great shots from the MCD before it looked as bad as it does today.
