My mind was blank so I thought about the animals in the Jungle Book. I know Baloo is a sloth bear and they're found mostly in India. Then I remembered Mowgli is an Indian name.

Besides the name Mowgli: it was written by Rudyard Kipling, features both a sloth bear and a tiger, and frequently mentions Seoni (spelled Seeonee in the book) - it all adds up to India.

To me it was always pretty clearly an indian boy, he doesnt look african at all.

and how is mowgli an indian name? Kipling made it up (perhaps now it people use the name he created for the story?)

Baloo is "bear" in Hindi and several other languages of the subcontinent.

Strange Brew is one of the most god awful movies ever, right up there with It's Pat. The Mackenzie Brothers should've stuck to SCTV skits.

Sorry, I totally disagree. A cult classic. Did you somehow think the "Great White North" on SCTV was meant as high culture? Even movies with a ridiculous plot can be fun.

Couldn't Cool Runnings also include Canada since quite a bit of it was suppose to be in the Olympics in Calgary?

I had the same thought. I think it occurs as much in Canada as in Jamaica.

The modern Exodus movie is about the book in the bible so it would be Egypt for the most part, but is was subtitled "Gods and Kings". The god awful Otto Preminger movie from 1960 that starred Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint was based on the Leon Uris book about the founding of modern day Israel from post WW2 to the early 50s.

I vote Norway for the next part. Maybe with Headhunters (2011), Dead Snow (2009), Svidd neger (2003) or something such.

I was so confused by this. The English Patient is set in Italy. The part that was in Egypt was just flashbacks. And while I have the stage here I just want to say that it's a horrible movie and I hate it. It's so confusing and painful to watch and not romantic at all.

Rocky IV takes place in the USSR. Should be added as a type in, since it's the more accurate answer.

the instructions specify the modern-day country in whose territory the film took place. by your logic exodus or the jungle book should not be accepted either as they’re set before those countries were countries

I was scratching my head over that one. It is 99% in the US and on another planet. The opening scene is the only thing that is in Egypt.

To be fair, the other planet is basically space-Egypt.

Like two minutes in the opening take place in Egypt. The rest takes place in either the NORAD base or Abydos.
