- "Fortress" was shot at Warner Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast, but I was
- under the impression that Highlander II was in fact shot in England... I
- don't have a copy here I can check, and the press kit makes no mention of
- where it was shot.
-
- As for re-using sets; it's possible that, if the two films were shot at the
- same place, certain parts of the set from Highlander II may have been
- recycled, but the entire set, as a whole, would not exist any more. Stdio
- space is too valuable to leave entire sets still up and doing nothing.
