Jacksonville has a lengthy history as an ideal location for filming movies.
While demand for filming locations in the Bold City has certainly declined since its heyday in the early 20th century, film crews still pass do through Jax for scenes every now and then.
Most locals probably know that the Denzel Washington-led The Manchurian Candidate filmed in Jacksonville – but the film shot just a few scenes in the area.
We’ve put together a list of movies where significant portions were filmed here in Jacksonville.
Unlike the other films on this list, Who’s Your Monkey? is specifically set in Jacksonville.
The film stars Scott Grimes, Jason London, and Scott Michael Campbell; it was directed by Todd Breau.
Jax is featured prominently in the film, with scenes shot in Five Points, downtown Jax, Ortega, and around the Main Street Bridge and Dames Point Bridge.
The film was released first at a film festival, then as a limited theatrical release. It received mixed-to-positive reviews.
