Switching Channels (1988)

While watching the Christopher Reeve documentary, Super/Man, I realized they didn’t seem to talk about Switching Channels which also starred Burt Reynolds and Kathleen Turner. Although it takes place in Chicago and some scenes were shot there, they also filmed in Toronto. These location visits are over a decade ago…

First up is an often-used Chicago location that has been featured in films such as Running Scared and The Batman. The James R. Thompson Center is at 100 West Randolph Street in Chicago.

The campaign headquarters was located in what is now a Starbucks at 10 Lower Spadina Avenue in Toronto, Ontario.

This lobby was shot at at the Mississauga City Hal at 300 City Centre Drive in Mississauga, Ontario.

Also in the same building are these stairs, used several times in the film.
