in the movies and comics deadpool prowls the streets of a fictional marvel universe but true
fans know that those streets are actually right here in downtown vancouver home of ryan reynolds
today i want to take you on a tour of deadpool filming locations this is deadpool's vancouver
today let's start right where the movie starts here on top of vancouver's georgia viaducts
after being dropped off by doinder deadpool sits precariously atop these viaduct railings
waiting to ambush francis's gang in real life this is a straight stretch
that offers access in and out of vancouver's downtown core but in the movie cgi is used
to turn this into a set of twisting and turning turnpikes maximum effort
in 2015 the film production shut down this stretch of the georgia viaduct for a period
of two full weeks to film an incredible action and fight sequence that acts as a
key centerpiece for the movie despite the inconvenience fans were ready to welcome
ryan reynolds back to the city and no doubt agree that the end result was worth the inconvenience
although the viaduct was enhanced heavily with cgi it remains largely recognizable albeit with less
car wrecks mutants and flying bullets flashing back to his early mercenary days wade visits the
lee side skate park to let megan know that her pizza boy stalker will no longer be a problem
this underground skate park sits underneath the cassiar street connector at the intersection of
east hastings and highway 1. created inside a 49 meter long abandoned tunnel a collection of ramps
poles and quarter pipes has been set up to allow the public to test their bmx or skateboard skills
you've heard the last of jeremy he's sorry wait
you're my hero no no no no no now right behind me is the building that housed vanessa's apartment
located at 529 gore avenue near vancouver's chinatown district
nearby you might have caught a glimpse of deadpool hanging around the front door of the oyster
express this restaurant ranks number one out of all the restaurants in vancouver's chinatown
district and like the name says offers a variety of delicious fresh oysters for your consumption
the exterior shots of the gentleman's club where Vanessa worked at were shot right here
at the cobalt motor hotel this historic building in vancouver's downtown east side dates back to
1911 and was once home to the famous dive bar the cobalt i can't believe we're doing this is
there a word for half afraid half angry yeah for angry i guess you decided we're gonna say to her
but the interior shots were filmed right here inside vancouver's iconic number five orange
this landmark is one of the last remaining venues in vancouver for adult themed entertainment
and deadpool continues his murdering streak here inside the astoria hotel
this building was originally constructed in 1913 as the toronto house apartments
it was converted to the astoria hotel around 1950 and is still standing over 100 years later
where's francis
don't make me ask twice next stop is the PNE Agrodome where
deadpool casually chases down one of france's henchmen with a zamboni
you're about to be killed why is that voting in five minutes
the agrodome is a popular filming location which was the site of the climactic fight
between rocky balboa and ivan drago in the movie rocky iv it also played the olympic ice center
in the kurt russell film miracle and as the ice arena in the recent reboot of the mighty ducks
after his killing spree is finally over deadpool visits the five-star laundry and dry cleaning on
hastings street vancouver and gets a little advice on how to get the bloodstains out of his uniform
salsa water and lemon for blood
or wear red don't ask now one thing you're gonna see a lot of in deadpool is alleyways
this one is known as arch alley sitting right next to victory square this alley got its name
when the province newspaper built a sky bridge connecting two adjacent buildings together in 1924
this alley is commonly used by vancouver based productions for filming gritty scenes and has
shown up on film in shows like the x-files fringe supernatural and even the man in the high castle
deadpool finally tracks down francis confronting him
inside the rice world warehouse which belongs to the largest rice importer in western canada
then chases and apprehends him in front of the sunrise produce
thankfully sparing the audience from some of the gory details of his revenge
this market with colorful fruits and veggies and an equally colorful mural is located just
across from rice world in real life nice to see you jared i'll take a foot long
where's your boss you might want to look away for this but this little piggy went to
back in the alleys ajax arrives home to nurses wounds after a confrontation
and last stop we're ending up at ajax's lair which is the broad ironworks along
with the nearby terminal city ironworks these two locations were home to ajax's laboratory and lair
oh our friend in the red suit wilson

misery on our terms right and when he heals no there's nothing left of him to heal and finally
the feats align for a final epic battle okay guys let's get out there and make a difference
