"Saturday Night Fever"
I have not found this listed anywhere but I'd swear the "White Castle"... is the one on Blvd and Newark ave. Both the interior (yea, I remember it back when) and the exterior.

The movie "Caught" with Edward James Olmos and Maria Conchita Alonso was set in Jersey City and has extensive footage of the waterfront and Owen Grundy Pier before much of the development. The opening credits show the waterfront as a garbage dump with a homeless guy living out of a van among the rocks and garbage. That guy happens to be Arie Verveen, who fans of Sons of Anarchy will recognize. The movie is a poorly-acted and sloppily-directed snoozefest, but the local settings may keep you watching.

the restaurant scene on ghost dog was shot on the chinese restaurant on westside and duncan (the one in front of mac's video). I think it's called No. 1 chinese food or something like that.

Although these are listed, here are some details.
The final chase scene of Toxic Avenger... quick and interesting view of Downtown on Columbus before the build up. Wise Guys: Harsimus Cemetery, the small diner and auto body place that were near Mary Bensen Park and the firehouse on Newark Avenue. Quiz Show: Inside the old Jersey City Medical Center... old teaching building I think... gave the scenes a cool art deco look.

West Side Ave from the cemetery South to a Chinese takeout place with a parking lot next to it. I lived down in that area years back when they filmed it. Other movies / videos filmed (apologies if listed already): Jacobs Ladder (boxing gym / pool hall scene) George Thorogood's 'Bad to the Bone' video.

I'm just interested, if anyone knows, what are the precise filming sites in Jersey City for Ghost Dog.
If you know, please pass your info along. Thanks in advance. Saroyan

Most of the movie was filmed in West Virginia and Ohio about an hour outside of Pittsburgh. I know a bunch of people who worked on it. The hunting scenes were filmed Washington's Cascade Mountains. Not sure why. Back to topic at hand, I'm surprised a few of the movies mentioned here aren't on the Jersey City-IMDB page.

As far as the Deer Hunter is concerned, it was supposed to be "set" in Western PA, but there are two glaring issues with that:
1) The mountains are obviously the Rockies. Any glance will reveal that. 2) The deer they are hunting are shown as Mule Deer, which are not indigenous to PA. They should technically be hunting White Tail. I love that movie, but those little details always bugged me...

Parker Posey and Liev Schreiber were in a movie called Party Girl that has scenes filmed in Jersey City's Main Library at 472 Jersey Avenue. IMDB has the release date as June 9, 1995.

Lets not forget this Christmas classic?(it?s on PBS every year, great little story!)
Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Ghost of Christmas Eve (2001) Product Description TOS's THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS EVE - now available for the first time on VHS and DVD - is a unique fantasy trip through the magic of Christmas. Narrated by award-winning actor Ossie Davis, the production takes us on a journey of a runaway little girl's decision to return to her family after she enters a rundown theater for shelter and encounters an old caretaker who guides her on her journey. This magical story - which features appearances from Atlantic recording artists Jewel and Michael Crawford ? was filmed entirely on location at the newly refurbished and historic Loews Jersey Theatre in Jersey City, New Jersey, and includes performances of such tracks as "O Come All Ye Faithful," "Good King Joy," "Christmas Canon," "Music Box Blues," "Promises To Keep," and "This Christmas Day,". Track Listing: O' Come All Ye Faithful/O Holy Night Good King Joy Hark!

I re-read my post and it sounds patronizing to your efforts and work. Sorry. I think the spots are great. They just seemed more "raw" than those overly polished prime time commercials and of course more "dirty", LOL. But I appreciate that is where the style for commercials is going and they really make the point!

Definitely NOT a "contest commercial." These were commissioned by Trojan for a new campaign. Due to their "provocative" nature, spots are broadcast on Hulu and late night on Comedy Central. As for permits - we tried... and tried. The locations manager was drowning in red tape. JC did everything they could to make shooting here a miserable affair.

These look like those independent viral contests "commercials" some companies have where anyone can submit their work, not to say they aren't good. I wonder if they were guerrilla shoots and therefore didn't seek permits.

Here are two Trojan Condom? commercials shot in Downtown JC. One is at Laundry City on C. Columbus, the other is in Walker's Apothecary on Mercer (interior only).
After dealing with every open-handed bureaucrat in JC to get permits, I'm surprised ANYTHING is filmed here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GRYGFwqGsk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u5ujVBr4nU

Not in that list, but I remember Above the Rim (Tupac, Marlon Wayans, Bernie Mac) had a funeral scene shot at the graveyard across the street from Dickinson. I know this specifically because half the school cut that afternoon to get a look at 2pac.

Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (the boxing match scene is filmed at the armory in jersey city) ********* Great site ?Go JC!!!!

In the "Coneheads", when the aliens come out of the water at the beginning of the movie, they are at Exchange Place.
