After watching a movie on TV today, it reminded me of a happening years ago. It was back in the 1980's and in Alcapulco, Mexico while on an incentive trip when selling real-estate in West Des Moines, Iowa. The hotel where staying also at the time was allowing some scenes to be shot for a Made forTV-Movie.
The movie was something about a Third World Country and the attempted overthrow by a guerrilla force. The star of the movie was Lou Gossett, Jr. One thing that was interesting to watch at the time was a scene where this limoousine pulled up to the hotel to let this "General" out.
The scene must have been shot 2 or 3 times and only lasted 20-30 seconds. It amazed me that at that rate how long movies would take to make. It was interesting in that the same evening while at a local restaurant we visited with a co-star at a bar before being seated at our table.
