Named here by Ciudad Acuña’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Ciudad Acuña, 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.

“In another Tarantino movie, Grindhouse, Acuña Boys Mexican Food is featured on a bumper ad, as well as a take-out drink container in the first scenes of Death Proof.” Wikipedia
