Myth №3. Pyramids are located in the desert, they are majestic and open access

Remember the movie "The Bucket List"? Celebrities Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are dying from cancer; Fortunately, one of them is fucking rich, so that they have the opportunity to travel on the world before a what is said in the title of the film. The list of their desires - to sit, legs dangling on one of the pyramids. They come to Egypt, and looking down on the ancient tombs, enjoying the magnificent view.

So we like to present the pyramid: the last wonder of the world, towering among the vast desert. And thousands of people who hang around them every day. Not to mention hundreds of local merchants and buses on which these thousands of tourists come from Cairo. Location, by the way, next door.

Oh, we have not talked about the protection and the entrance fee? Morgan Freeman, of course, can be climbed on the pyramid, but only after the pay is fun.

If you are thinking to be prepared: virtually every tourist who visited there, complaining about the intrusiveness of traders and that there are terribly many tourists.

Myth №2. At the entrance to Miami is the famous sign

If you have not heard about it, here's a shot from the film "Bad Boys." This is the same sign.

You may think that this is a sign at the airport or at the bus station - anywhere where it informs people about where they came from. In fact, such a sign in Miami just yet. Search Engines on request according to "Miami" and "sign" will be given just such a picture.

This sign measuring 15 by 4.5 meters - scenery for the movie "The Transporter 2". It is not the same as in the "bad guys": you can find more than 10 differences. But the most interesting is that these films are shot by different companies and directors, and script written by various authors, which means that at least two people have found other ways to show that the action takes place in Miami, but to put in a frame, these huge letters.

Myth №1. Mexico just like the Wild West

Movies like "Desperado," "From Dusk Till Dawn", "Way of the Gun" and "Once in Mexico" gave us a fantasy: to rob a bank, quickly leave the money to Mexico and spend the rest of sitting on the porch in a rocking chair, sipping tequila in town.

Suddenly there is a drug lord, you cheated, or simply forgot to share, and start firing, and a crowd of old women with knitted scarves on the shoulders cross and run to one of the churches in the town which is very, very much. After a long battle drug lord killed, and you go to the next town, the noble stranger with a gun, which he used only when absolutely necessary.

Actually, all this is happening in the scenery of Universal Studios in Hollywood, because such cities in Mexico almost gone. Church in Mexico is not only similar to those small churches - they look like they came here from the future.

The streets are not bandits roam, raping and robbing everyone. A fugitive from the law visiting the police without hesitation sent home. This does not mean that in Mexico there is no crime - just there this lawlessness, which like to portray in the movie.
