......................and back to the movie 
Really enjoyed it, went in expecting mindless violence and a bit of humor and wasn't disappointed.
Story itself is actually ok and loved the car chase when Frankie goes to hollywood kicked in!!!

Really liked it!
See where they first went into that entrance in the side of the mountain?
Almost certain it's part of the Loch Sloy power station near Ben Vane/Ben Vorlich at the side of Loch Lomond.
Was a movie that didn't take itself seriously, exactly as Gill pointed out.
Mad Max/Warriors/Escape from New York.
Final car chase didn't look like Scotland though, could be wrong.

I heard the filmed quite a bit of it in South Africa - I've not seen it so I can't say which bits for sure, but that's what I heard.
I really want to see this - might go next weekend. | |

putting logic aside(cause the story seemed to have none) this was a good film and very enjoyable.
