    My mind was absolutely blown watching this!! The attention to detail with camera positioning and time of day vs the movie footage. I cannot fathom the research and time it took to do this! Mind bogglingly impressive! I can't get over how little of the Tunisia towns and landscape hasn't changed since 1980. Friggin' boulders and rocks still sitting in the same places. Just can't get over this!

    • @rovhalt6650

    One thing that blew me away is that you could remake the movie today with very little work outside of the set pieces, of course. (Note to studio heads reading this: DON'T DO IT. You can't improve on perfection.)

If you're ever in my city, go there, there is some movie memorabilia from several movies. Also as a treat, find the toilets. I know this sounds weird, but that building was built in the 1930's. Some of the toilets are still the same as they were way back then.
