Locations
Indian Railways
In movie
Scene where In India, Fogg and Passepartout rescue a young widow named Auda, who was about to be forcibly burned on a funeral pyre with the body of her dead husband. The three of them then continue their journey to Hong Kong.
Real
Scene was shot on the Lansdowne Bridge spanning the Indus River at Sukkur, about 150 miles north of Hyderabad, Pakistan. This railroad bridge was built in 1889 under British administration and named after the then Viceroy of India, Lord Lansdowne. The bridge is an outstanding example of late 19th century engineering - it is a steel arch structure, with two main spans and massive stone abutments. It connects the town of Sukkur with Bukkur Island, where the old fortress is located, and is still an active transportation artery.
London Park
In movie
Scene where English aristocrats in Victorian clothes walk leisurely along a wide path lined with gravel. Men in dark coats and cylinders make small talk, while ladies in long dresses and lace umbrellas walk side by side, occasionally exchanging glances and remarks.
Real
Scene was shot on Rotten Row, a wide path running along the southern boundary of Hyde Park in London. Originally created in the 17th century as a royal riding route, Rotten Row became a symbol of the social life of the British aristocracy. During the Victorian era, it was a place of high society and became one of the city's most prestigious walking areas.
Square in Spain
In movie
Scene where After losing their way, the heroes accidentally end up in Spain. There they find themselves in a lively bar, where they witness a passionate flamenco performed right on the table. Later, Passepartout finds himself drawn into a comical bullfighting scene.
Real
Scene was shot in the Plaza Mayor in Chinchón, the historic central square of a small town in the region of Madrid, Spain. This square is traditionally used as an arena for bullfights and folk festivals, and its decoration makes it easy to recreate the atmosphere of a 19th century Spanish province.
