Places whose own article says it was shot there
2 places whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

“Die Hard 2 was set at Dulles, but in fact contains no footage actually shot at the airport.” Wikipedia
-
Kincheloe Air Force Base United States
“The base was used in the filming of the 1990 movie Die Hard 2, starring Bruce Willis.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in California, Colorado, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
