Regarding the Worcester scenes in Black Panther (insanely mild not-even-non-spoilers).

Looked great. The scenes are in the first 3rd of the movie. It's a vehicle chase scene, with shots coming up from the underground tunnel near the old courthouse and up to the Palladium. They are interspliced with shots from Cambridge... essentially all of the sky shots are from Cambridge and the ground-shots are from Worcester.

​

There did not appear to be any CGI in terms of Worcester itself.. just straight up 1:1 street shots. There have been some movies with clear iconic Worcester scenery before (i.e. Free Guy) but it's super cool to be repped in the MCU.

The same tunnel is featured in one of the final scenes of An Honest Thief. I guess that means it (and Liam Neeson) are in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I couldn’t pay attention to the plot of that one because it was full of worcester shots that kept catching my eye

I laughed when I saw they added in some skyscrapers in the background with CGI for that shot. Guess "the glass building" wasn't enough.

Terrible movie but it falls into the "so bad it's good" category. The Cinephobe podcast did a great episode on it.

My favorite worcester tidbit in that one is how during a chase they head past the DCU in one direction, then the camera cuts to them going back past it in the opposite direction😂

They rip around the corner and slam into a group of juggalos near the Palladium... the only one that made it was a giant fat girl in full face paint, that was in a fistfight with 3 cops on the sidewalk. It was an amazing show, having 5 maniac druggies who just died and could be mourned in honor of the joker's cards. King Cobra and illegal hash oil vape pens were shared by all.
