FUBAR: Filming locations and more

The filming for FUBAR or "F****d Up Beyond All Recognition" kicked off in April 2022 in Belgium and wrapped by the end of September. The cinematographer, Craig Wrobleski, created a visually appealing narrative that offers a glimpse into the world of Emma and Luke.

Antwerp, Belgium

The FUBAR production team chose Antwerp, Belgium, as one of the primary filming locations owing to its distinctive atmosphere. Known for its stunning architecture and rich cultural heritage, Antwerp offers a unique backdrop for the series.

The city's historic streets, charming neighborhoods, and iconic landmarks can be spotted throughout the show, adding an authentic touch to the story. According to the locations revealed so far, the most popular car chase sequences were shot in Lambermontplaats, as multiple cars were fitted with front and back cameras. Brabo Fountain and Lange Nieuwstraat also hosted car chase sequences and street fight scenes.

However, fans were disappointed to find Schwarzenegger's stuntman at the sets while the star worked on his recordings at a Toronto-based studio.

Toronto, Canada

While Antwerp served as a crucial filming location for FUBAR, the production also extensively utilized the vibrant city of Toronto, Canada. Known for its diverse urban landscapes, Toronto offered a contrasting yet complementary backdrop for the series.

Toronto's iconic skyline and modern architecture feature prominently with several scenes taking place in the city's downtown core. The skyline of the city offers a rich tapestry for the action sequences, featuring the T-800 Terminator himself, while the multicultural fabric of the city adds depth and character to the series.

As seen from the images shared by Toronto Filming, Schwarzenegger was spotted along Victoria Street where the structures of the film's set were located.

Ontario served as the second location in Canada for the filming crew as they made use of multiple locales, including a house in Guelph and a warehouse in Brockley Drive, East Hamilton.
