As an American I don't think that Norway gets enough recognition. Today I am very excited to learn about famous movies that were shot in Norway and the story behind it. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
"Did a stuntperson actually jump off this cliff?"
No, of course not. That would be way too dangerous! Tom Cruise did it himself.
Ah! You stole my line! But Tom is a scientologist so it is to be expected!
And that's why I don't watch his movies. @@ragnarkisten
Heh, well said, I was about to comment the same, but you wrote it far better than I would have :P
@@sigrunwestrus68 You should check out how the dirty LAPD arrested the defector Smith Levine, after he was attacked by a man and his dog. Probably on the scientology payroll!
He even took several takes, because he wasn't happy with the timing when he let go off the bike.
Tom Cruise did the stunt. No stunt man there. If my memories is right.
Correct
It's probably fair to call Tom Cruise a stunt person. :D
You are correct. Cruise did both the motorcycle parashoot jump in Dead reckoning part 1, and the Prekestolen scenes in Fall Out himself. In the latter he also had the company of Henry Cavill for most of them.
Yup. So they say.
Pretty badass.
true he did himself
Black Widow was filmed at Sæbø and Åndalsnes in Norway. And Thor - Ragnarok too. Some winter scenes in Game of thrones are from Norway. Because... winter is coming (ok, not funny😊) Fortitude, Transformers, Downsizing, Superman II, The Golden Compass are other movies where you can see snippets of Norwegian snow. It's more, of course. We are giving a handsome stack of money to movies filmed here.
I know😁😁 I was waiting for them to say that in the video
In 1965 Kirk Douglas made a movie about a Norwegian WW2 hero. It was shot on location in Rjukan. The movie is Heroes of Telemark. You can find the whole movie on CZcams.
Don't watch that shitty movie though. It's a disgrace to our heroes.
@@jeschinstad do you feel the same about The Vikings film from 1958. As a British kid that was my introduction to nordic history outside of school books. Hoping its not full of stereotypes now.
@@martinsear5470: I haven't seen it so I can't comment. But the real Heroes of Telemark said the Kirk Douglas movie was pure nonsense and rubbish. It has nothing to do with what happened at all. It's not like they had to add things to make it interesting, the story simply has nothing to do with what happened. But the real heroes themselves, acted in a movie short time after the war. All of them. If you really want to know what happened, that's the movie you want to watch.
@@martinsear5470It’s shit.
@@jeschinstad I have seen the Norwegian movie and tele series as well as the Kirk Douglas movie. To me they were all good. I cannot see any reason to be offended by its Hollywood style. This is how it has to be done to reach a global audience. Those that are interested in historical details can watch theeh Norwegian versions.
Norway is simply out of this world. It is the most beautiful country I have ever been to. Its seems like I'm in my own fantasy movie when I'm there. My next fantasy movie will be in Tromsø in March❤
You are most welcome! Tons of snow right now 🥶
Kind regards,
Tromsø born and raised 😅
Are you there now?
Fun fact: After filming the Hoth scenes in Finse, George Lucas and his team didn’t want to shoulder the tremendous cost of shipping the full-size, working replicas of the six AT-ATs used on set, so they were left there. After amassing huge parking tickets with the local authorities, they were all seized and later repurposed for public transport in the area, still operating to this day.
🤣🤣🤣
They still haven't fixed the crappy suspension.
One of the filmphotographers later married a Norwegian woman and moved to Stokke in Vestfold. Great and down-to-earth guy.
You should really react to a Norwegian movie soon, you'd love it, they're really good. I think you'd enjoy Headhunters (Hodejegerne) or Max Manus (Max Manus: Man of War), the last one is based on a true story about the resistance fighter Max Manus during WW2.
Tom Cruise actually lived a couple 100m from my house in my home town "Valldal" for some months while recording the latest mission impossible! Some people went up there to ask for him, and he actually came out to meet people :)
Other movies filmed in Norway. Marvel's Black Widow, Transformers The Last Knight, James Bond - You Only Live Twice, The Golden Compass, James Bond - Die Another Day, Captain America, several Harry Potter movies and more.
Tom Cruise did his own stunts for 40 years. Upcoming Mission Impossible 8 also have scenes filmed in Norway.
Det er sant
One of the reasons so many movies has parts shot in Norway is because they get very lucrative economic compensations/benefits from diverse funds....from promoting Norway.
Yes, the entire scene where the stuntman drives off the cliff is authentic. The stuntman was Tom Cruise himself.
Also, the train scene in the same movie was filmed in Norway, and it is from the same train ride 'Rauma train ride' that they used in the Harry Potter movie.
The bike has been recovered and is on display close to where the stunt was made.
Last Year Tom Cruise was back in Norway to film the next Mission Impossible, this time in Svalbard.
Remember when I was a kid, I saw this news report from Finse at "Dagsrevyen" , the news on the state TV-channel, when George Lucas, and the rest of the stars, "invaded" that little place high up in the mountains! It was, of course, a huge thing, and nice to think about today! "Star Wars" coming to Norway!! Golden memories!!
My boss's boss was litrally one of the snowtroopers in Star Wars for the Hoth scene that was indeed filmed in Norway
Guess he met three of my fellow chemistry students then, who also were troopers at Finse.
Guess he did
You should travel to Norway at some point 🙏🏼 make a series «just a, typical, average, american, tryna experience Norway» 😄
Just let us know, we will show you around.
When that guy in the video says "Langvann" he sounds like that he is Swedish to me
He is! 🇸🇪🇸🇯
Dag is from Sweden, so that's maybe no so strange
The Empire Strikes Back is, and will always be my favourite.
Bring out your Tauntaun because we live on Hoth 😀
That is also my favorite. The Empire Strikes Back is a classic❤
Fun fact about filming Empire in Finse: When filming the scene where Luke stumbles around lost in the snow, it was a freezing cold blizzard outside. So the camera crew stayed inside the hotel while Mark Hamill just trudged around right outside the hotel entrance alone.
Seem to recall a documentary talking about that exact scene. It said he walked straight out into the blizzard, as far away as he dared while still being able to see the lights from the hotel door, then he turned around 180 and walked back. End scene😅
James Bond has a cabin close to Atlanterhavsvegen, so that is in Norway in the movie. Not far away from that and Tom's stunt (you need to see the CZcams video they made about the stunt) is the place where Black Widow had her little hideaway in the Norwegian forest. It was quite an uprising when she filmed the scenes where she was going to the grocery store somewhere in Sunnmøre (mentioned in the video)
Despite not being officially listed a chase sequence involving Range Rovers and motorbikes in the movie Point Break (2015) were partialy shot in Øvre Eidfjord, Hardanger, Norway.
The movie The Snowman starring Michael Fassbender, based on the Jo Nesbø crime novel, was both set and shot mostly in Oslo and Bergen, and the areas around and inbetween.
The Marvel movie Black Widow, starring Scarlet Johansen, were partly shot in northern western parts of southern Norway, among them scenes where she drives a Lady Niva, visits a shop in Ørsta, scenes around a caravan, scenes on board a ferry, and scenes on a bridge.
The movie Downsizing, starring Matt Damon, was mostly shot in Lofoten, a set of islands on the coast of southern parts of northern Norway.
The Netflix series the Innocents, starring Guy Pearce, were mostly shot in Modelen, a tiny village north of Bergen on the west coast of southern Norway. In Tyler's Bergen vidoe Modalen is the end location for the boat ride, with the waterfall.
Part of the train scenes and car and motorcycle scenes in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning part 1 were also shot in north western parts of southern Norway.
Part 2 will partially be shot in and around Svalbard.
It always helps that Norway covers 25% of all expenses for foreign companies filming in Norway.
I have seen a video of a train ariving at Finse on may the 4'th, where the traindriver was dressed up as Darth Vader :-)
Some friends and I were going to hike up "Preikestolen" ..... but we had to wait until Tom Cruise and the filmcrew were done filming. We went hiking the day after they were finished filming. We had a great day at the top of Preokestolen..... and there were A LOT of tourists that day as well.... 😊
Finse is about 2 hours from Bergen. My dad told me when they were filming Empire Strikes Back, they needed people in Stormtrooper outfits and they asked the police in Bergen to help. My dad was one that said no. He has never been interested in Star Wars, never watched any of them. That really pissed me off. Some of the cops kept their Stormtrooper uniforms he told me later. Real annoying haha.
One of the reasons that there have been filmed several movies in Norway lately,
is because the Norwegian government wants to promote the country.
And they do that by reimburseing 25% of what the film producers spend in Norway.
Svalbardposten:
A new Superman movie is
on the way. Last week, the
first scenes were recorded
in Adventdalen. Star
director James Gunn can
tell you that it has been a
very special experience to
start filming in Svalbard
(part of the Kingdom of
Norway).
Norway is like a movie
Add to that Black Widdow, Captain America, The Golden Compass, Superman 2, Transformers and Downsizing - to mention a few you may have seen.
Actually my brotherinlaw worked as a carpenter, buiding the set used in Norway in the James Bond movie .. 🙂
Are Swedes narrating about Norwegian filming locations now ❤😃🤩🥰
13:20 Yes it actually happened and Tom Cruise did it himself
Tenet is not just a building tho, massive parts of the plot is in Oslo.
It was one day of shooting and 3 scenes with two actors, Robert Pattinson and Denzel Washington's son. A short walk, then inside a tram, and lastly at the roof of the opera house.
@@Tvjunkieful12 did they make country accurate ambulances and cars/plates for the airport scenes to film other places, that is some attention to detail.
Especially since other details are not accurate at all.
@@trulybtd5396 I only know about the scenes shot in the center of Oslo. That permit request was one day. Scenes shot in areas with privately arranged permission is between the production company and the location owner. The Point Break scenes were mostly shot on a closed road leading to a power station. But because of the closeness to Hardangervidda national park special permits were needed.
Actualy several sceens in "die another day" (007) was also filmed in norway. (Svalbard and Jostedalsbreen)
Prekestolen / Preacher's pulpit - it will fall into the fjord some day. There's an seismic alarm system that warns of movement/earth slides etc. There have been fatal accidents; tourists have gone over the edge.
Keep in mind that a lot of the original Star Wars movies, as well as Harry Potter, were mostly filmed in England. (As in all the sets etc were there). For location scenes it makes sense to look close by.
Tom Cruise do al of his stunts by himself, so yes...he do this base jump. Crazy guy! 😂
Guy .. 😆
@@HASarpsborg lol, autocorrection most used word starting on G
Æ e dårlig i engelsk mister HASarpsborg! Ikke all hadd så jævlig go engelsklærer på ungdomskola shø, som vårres som ikke koijn pensum længer en 4 trinn! Og derre va fettlangt uttpå bygda, så va itj bærre å plukk lærera fra kunskapstréet!
Don't forget Heroes of Telemark. The first one as well with Kirk Douglas... And there are more...
Tom Cruse did the stunt himself. Pulpit rock is in Rogaland county. He lived privat while he was here. Stavanger was the town.
Hi Tyler 😊 Greetings from Norway ❤
There are clips here on youtube when they film Mission Impossible in Norway , and no a stunt person didn't do the stunts, Tom Cruise did all his stunts himself.
Did you know that 11 seconds of the James Bond film, You Only Live Twice was shot in Norway ? The radar domes at the Mågerø radar station were used for the exterior shots of the crisis meeting building in You Only Live Twice (1967) where the US, UK and USSR discuss the abducted space mission.
Star Wars films have been shot all over the world. The original movie had parts filmed in London and Tunisia for example with the series having been produced featuring 18 different countries.
They forgot to include Avengers: Endgame. That scene where they go to battle and you see the worlds open up through portals. In the portals you see mountains and those mountains are Norwegian. One of the people who made the background for this film is Norwegian who lives in the USA and he filmed Norwegian mountains and used them in the film
They forgotten black widow. The first 30 minutes from the movie was filmed at Sæbø, sunnmøre
Walt Disney have also been in Norway to get idees to Frozen.
Tom Cruise, who obviously must be insane, did the stunt himself and drove that darn bike off the cliff.
wait they skipped "You Only Live Twice" from 1967 that had had a location on Mågerøy......
Thasunga was film in my home area :)
There are huge fiscal rewards for choosing Norway. The gov. give rather generous grants to film here . Some producers do not credit Norway though. That's a bit rude.
Lord of the rings was supposed to be filmed in Norway but it would put their budget through the roof
The reason so many movies film part of their movies in Norway is that there are economic insentives to do it.
No Time To Die, Tenet and Succession were all actually set in Norway, if you paid attention. It was not like the M:I or Ex Machina (or Star Wars or Dune, duh 😊) where the Norwegian location stood in for somewhere else.
Other movies that they missed: The Snowman, based on the book by Jo Nesbø and starring Michael Fassbender and Val Kilmer, among others, was completely set in Norway. Most agree that it's not very good, though, and ruins the book it's supposedly based on.
The 1974 thriller "The Terrorists" (aka "Ransom," no relation to the Mel Gibson movie), starring Sean Connery in a gigantic fur hat, was mostly shot at the old, now dismantled, Fornebu airport outside Oslo. For some reason, the movie only calls the country "Scandinavia." 😊
In the comedy "Spies Like Us," starring Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd, some Norwegian mountain stood in for Siberia.
I can understand if you don't know any of those. Marvel made several references to Norway, particularly in the Thor and Avengers movies, but so far, the only Marvel movie that actually was shot here was "Black Widow."
And I'm sure you've heard of Superman II, where some scenes on the way to the Fortress of Solitude were shot in Norway. The Fortress itself, however, was created in a studio.
If you look at the years these movies were made, you may notice something. A number of films up until the 1980s, then virtually nothing until the 2010s. We may have some neat scenery, but it's also very expensive. With the costs of movie production rising, and improved effects making it easier to just fake it, it wasn't very attractive. However, in 2016, Stortinget passed an "incentive bill" making it much more lucrative to shoot here. Both James Bond, Black Widow, and the two M:I movies benefited from that.
Yes, that train ride is stunnig..try it🇸🇪🇸🇯
I think most Norwegians know a Stormtrooper or two...
Or three ...
lord of the rings was supposed to be filmed here to. But it's to expensive for film makers to do a lot of filming here.

Not only did tom cruise jump of the cliff, he did it around 10 times before he Was satisfied
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE WAS FILM IN MY TOWN
Caladan has great fishing
Black widow as well
Interesting how they didn't mention The Vikings movie from 1958, altho some of it was filmed in France they did a lot of location filming in the fjords of Norway.
Tom Cruise did most of his stunts himself, he's a bit of a daredevil
Other people: thats green screen
People after This vid: no its just Norway
can u make a video where ur going to norway
filmed PARTLY in norway. :)
13:29 Tom Cruise did it himself😂
That wasn't a stunt man it was Tom Cruise. Yeah he's a bit crazy lol.
If you want snow…
Its kinda crazy and very cool that they have filmed so much movies in Norway. Here you can see how they prepare for the big motorcycle stunt: czcams.com/video/-lsFs2615gw/video.html
No not a stunt person 😂 but tom Cruise he has some demands for his movies
All movies was shoot in Norway. USA is just a big greenscreen
børning 1-3 ar in norge
NO! TOM did it himself :S :P ACTUALLY...!
the likes
Yeah Tom Cruise jumped off himself. they made a HUUUGE ramp and he did it several times. jumping off with the bike, parachute. theres a whole video on it
It’s not so much about the locations, rather that the Norwegian government throws money after film makers for choosing to film in Norway. It’s economically beneficial in many cases, getting millions thrown at you for filming your stuff some places in Norway 😂
Yes hi did him self
czcams.com/video/-lsFs2615gw/video.html
Tom Cruise jumping off cliff
I've skied on Hoth many times, destroyed AT-ATs make great shelter.
anyone else hate that the dudes english sounds like swedlish
You pause to much. And ask a question which they are just about to explain. And basically EVERYONE knows Tom Cruise does his own stunts. If you dont you basically live under a stone.
Tyler
the most amzanig stuff in films history dosen't feel as great when it happen in what is kindoff your backyard... sorry
