The movie opens with a shot of the Citigroup Center, located at 601 Lexington Avenue Make sure to click the link below to read the second half.) In fact, the article got so massive that I had to break it down into two parts. But now, I am fairly confident most of the prominent filming locations have been accurately identified and each one has been given a thorough description. (It might be noted that I previously posted an article about this film back in 2018, but it was a bit incomplete at the time. It also benefits from a well-rounded cast, including Australian actor Bryan Brown, Jerry Orbach, Brian Dennehy, Roscoe Orman (best known for playing Gordon on “Sesame Street”), Diane Venora, Tom Noonan, Cliff De Young, and Mason Adams (who I recognized mostly as the ubiquitous voice-over artist for countless TV commercials). This is one of two of my favorite 1980’s action films that take place in New York City - the other bring 1985’s “Remo Williams.” But unlike “Remo,” “F/X” is actually a fairly solid film, with an ingenious premise and very few plot holes. His only hope is to use his skills as a movie special effects man to gain the upper hand against his unrelenting enemies. But after he’s double-crossed by the people who hired him, Rollie fears he may have actually killed the mobster, and soon finds himself pursued by both crooked government agents and the New York Police Department.

This mid-80’s action film is about a special effects man named Rollie, who is hired by the Department of Justice to fake the murder of a mobster.
