Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Portland

2 productions shot at 26 places inside Portland, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Portland itself.

Named here by Portland’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Portland, 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.
