Filmed where? RHD, so I presume an AUS- or ZA-made car. The VW in the background is a 1302. |

Looks Chrysler-ish. I'm thinking an intermediate-sized Plymouth or Dodge. |

 Can anyone read the poster in the background? The yellow logo before is from the Lufthansa.As background and the people are looking too shiny for Cuba, and the car is RHD, I presume, it wasn't filmed there. South Africa maybe? Otherwise wouldn't it be absolute unlikely, that a Soviet film was made there during the Apartheid-times? Back then it was not uncommon, that frequent travellers, who had ZA-stamps in their passport, got problems at the immigration-controls of the USSR, the DDR and other COMECON-countries. Some even has organized a second short-term passport for these countries (as you do it still today when you want to travel to some moslemic countries, but have an Israelian stamp in the passport). |

@ingo, this scene was filmed in the USSR. See 3loader's comment at /vehicle_388214-Volkswagen-Sedan-Typ-1-1970.html Perhaps there weren't any dogs trained for film in Cuba. Anyway, perhaps the car was brought back from Australia or another RHD country by a Soviet diplomat and ended up as part of a film studio's collection. |

Or an African country which had strong European links (Lufthansa sign, Opel Rekord in other entry), Soviet links and could easily import ZA cars? Angola perhaps?? Was it RHD?? Do we have any good number plate shots? |

The architecture looks European, especially in the shot with the Rekord: /vehicle_388354-Opel-Rekord-1972.html Perhaps it's Odessa or somewhere in the Crimea. If the producers could have filmed in a real African country, they wouldn't have gone to Cuba. The number plates are props made to look like Cuban plates, for consistency with Nagonia scenes filmed in Cuba. |

I'm only opening the possibilities with the Angola idea, but its history as a Portugese colony http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angola might explain European architecture and recent Soviet links, and it borders onto ZA. And the people do not look very Odessan/Crimean..... |

They're extras. They didn't just happen to be walking past while the camera was rolling. |

...and its 1980ies history as a failed state with a long-time civil war and a wannabe-COMECON-friendly regime, makes it more than unlikely, that this scene, with proper Western cars, proper houses and proper clothed people, was filmed there  |
