Norfolk is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 3 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
2 productions were filmed at 2 places inside Norfolk rather than at Norfolk itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“The director wanted to shoot on location at the naval base in Norfolk, Virginia, and the brig at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, but was unable to get permission from the United States Navy.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Norfolk as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Movies filmed elsewhere in Norfolk
2 productions shot at 2 places inside Norfolk, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Norfolk itself.
- Battle: Los Angeles Naval Station Norfolk per Wikipedia 2011
- The Final Countdown Naval Station Norfolk per Wikipedia 1980
Named here by Norfolk’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Norfolk, 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.

“Several major motion pictures have been filmed in and around Norfolk, including Rollercoaster (filmed at the former Ocean View Amusement Park), Navy Seals, and Mission: Impossible III (partially filmed at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel).” Wikipedia
