Death Proof

It was set in Austin, but I think it was filmed mostly in Georgia.



Half that movie was filmed in Austin, at Guero's and the Texas Chili Parlor.

Nope, a lot of Robocop was shot in Dallas, not Houston.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocop

"Filming began during the summer of 1986 and lasted from August 6 until mid-October. Many of the urban settings of the movie were filmed in downtown Dallas, Texas due to the futuristic appearances of the buildings. The front of Dallas City Hall was used as the exterior for the fictional OCP Headquarters, combined with extensive matte painting to make the building appear taller."
