Moments in movies where a real life location you recognize is shown on screen that doesn’t match it’s stated setting, thus bringing you out of your immersion?

I watched Hacksaw Ridge for the first time last week. It’s a great movie; I liked it! My favorite part has to be - towards the beginning - when Desmond and Dorothy are hiking through the woods to get to the large rock that overlooks the Blue Ridge Mountains. There’s a quick moment where Dorothy looks to the side, and it shows a big waterfall. Here’s a link to the scene, waterfall is at 1:01. I’m a resident of upstate South Carolina and one of my dad’s hobbies is exploring waterfalls. As a little girl I spent many of days visiting his favorites as he told stories. I immediately recognize that waterfall as Looking Glass Falls, located in the Pisgah National Forest in Brevard, NC (Western NC). That part of the movie is set in Lynchburg, VA (317 miles/ 5hrs to Looking Glass).

Anybody else have moments like this, where you recognize a place that don’t quite belong where it says it is?
