Any questions about Calgary?


This movie was filmed around Calgary and in lots of the actual locations that the film portrays the scenes as being shot in. I live in Calgary so I figured I could do this for fellow fans.

Did anyone have any specific questions about a scene or landmark regarding the actual city?

Do you happen to know Bret Hart personally?

reply

Not personally. Though a relative of mine dated him.

In the 70s single women were not allowed in restaurants that served alcohol unless accompanied by a male. So backwards that I left.
