Castlemaine, Bacchus Marsh and parts of the Calder Freeway were chosen as filming locations because of their resemblance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Parts of the town&#8217;s centre was shut off for stunt drivers \u2013 driving Holden Commodores disguised as American state troopers \u2013 who were driving recklessly under supervision of Victorian police traffic management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Neeson, now 72 years old, was performing his own stunts too, and reportedly dangled from a helicopter. Speaking to the media, he was happy to be back in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;It sounds so clich\u00e9, the people, the crews are some of the best,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Signs displayed on roads throughout town advised delays up to 15 minutes while scenes were shot, however crowds were happy to watch on and catch a glimpse of Neeson being sheltered by Bunnings Warehouse umbrellas held by crew members between takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> One local even attempted to enter a petrol station to fill up his car, which had been turned into a set, however police quickly ushered him away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Peter Martonyi, a local resident and onlooker, was happy to see filming done in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;It brings a bit of movie stardom to the town because Liam has been in so many films. He&#8217;s not so much of a Tom Cruise, but you know, he&#8217;s like an Al Pacino type,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Production of the film is expected to generate $19 million to the Victorian economy, with an estimated $2 million to be spent in regional communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
