Where was Pirates (1986) filmed?
1986 film by Roman Polanski
Pirates (1986) was filmed in Sousse and Port El Kantaoui, 2 places named in its Wikipedia article's Filming section, in Tunisia. Wikidata itself records the shoot only as Malta, the Seychelles. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.

Places whose own article says it was shot there
1 place 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.

Genoa Italy
“In 1985 were filmed in Genoa some scenes of Pirates by Roman Polanski, finished shooting they left in the Old Harbour the galleon Neptune.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Malta, the Seychelles, 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.
Filming locations that are mapped there: Malta
