Tangiers, Morocco

You'll want to picture this with a full-sized film crew on it. Plus rollcarts, taco carts, film cases, cables, cameras, dolly tracks, wardrobe racks, lights, C-stands, actors, extras and stunt people -- because, of course, these are chase scenes. Got that? Now add the helicopter -- it's going whooka-whooka-whooka overhead. Now imagine all the people who shop here every day -- which is to say most of Tangiers -- have heard there are movie stars in these streets. Good so far? Then ask yourself how it would be if all those nice people were in the middle of their Ramadan holy days and could not eat, drink or smoke from sunup to sunset -- they're a little edgy. Finally set the whole thing, plus our trucks and vans, around the most inadequate traffic circle you've every seen, with a mosque in the middle of it that must be prayed at several times a day.

Call the temperature, say, 95.

That's what it's been like shooting in Morocco.
