Filming locations inside Boulder

4 places inside Boulder, each with a page of their own. Every production shot at them is already listed above, because Wikidata records them against Boulder too.

Named here by Boulder’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Boulder, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Sleeper 1973

“Woody Allen's film Sleeper (1973) was filmed on location in Boulder.” Wikipedia

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
