“Much of the film was shot on locations around Portsmouth, including the scene near the end of the film featuring the giant "pinballs", which were, in fact, obsolete buoys found in a British Navy yard that were simply sprayed silver and filmed in situ.” Wikipedia
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Portsmouth, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
