Port of Montebello
“Sweetheart, you’re not just a mass murderer. You’re an axe murderer!”
Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler)
The main chase in Murder Mystery 2 starts at the Place de l’Etoile, at the foot of the Arc de Triomphe. Quickly, the van in which Audrey (Jennifer Aniston) and Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler) are trapped rolls down the rue de Chaillot and the avenue Marceau. The vehicle also takes the tunnel near the Arc de Triomphe on the Avenue de la Grande Armée before following the Seine on the Port de Montebello. The opportunity for the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral to make an appearance in the background.
A geographically daring pursuit
Those who know the city of Paris will notice that the chase in Murder Mystery 2 does not respect the geography at all. To the point of making a jump of almost 5 km at the end. A way for the director to exploit several photogenic places of the French capital, as Peter Yates did in Bullittthe 1960s classic with Steve McQueen, shot in San Francisco.
Parisian postcard
Like many American films shot in Paris, Murder Mystery 2 intends to offer its viewers an authentic best-of of the city. Thus, for the needs of the scenario but also to make the show more epic, the feature film takes many liberties but is very careful to give maximum importance to the beauty of the places, here filmed at night.
The composer Rupert Gregson Williams wrote the music for both Murder Mystery.
Port de Montebello
Named in honor of Jean Lannes, the Duke of Montebello, the port of Montebello runs along the Seine.
Located in the Saint-Victor and Sorbonne districts, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, the port of Montebello was previously called the port aux Mulets and the port de l’Évêque in that it was formerly dedicated to the unloading of goods passing through the Seine on barges. Often used as a film location because of the view it offers on the river, it is frequented by many tourists. It is visible in Everyone says I love you, by Woody Allen, The Bourne Identity, by Doug Liman or Elle, by Paul Verhoeven.
