Also per Wikipedia's Filming section
Wikipedia’s Filming section names 2 more places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Durango, 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.
