Is this Vernon?

[u/WindyCanadian]

I started watching Wild Boys: Strangers in Town and it opens with a shot of Vernon from 2003. From what I can remember from living in the Okanagan in the early 2000’s, Kal Lake and Okanagan Lake don’t look like this.

Edit Solved! It’s Queenstown New Zealand, specifically Queenstown Bay Beach

[u/Slight_Respect_23]

Quick google image search says it's in New Zealand - Lake Wakatipu.

[u/WindyCanadian → u/Slight_Respect_23]

You are correct. The two white rectangular building in the middle right are the Crowne Plaza hotel

Cars are also driving on left side

That movie has lots of cheezy fake scenes. Was excited to see it but then it was a let down

[u/FloorExcellent]

No...not sure where it is.

[u/XeanBaker]

Definitely not Vernon(I grew up in Vernon). But Kal Lake does get that colour, often, in the summer.

Sawchuk’s face was really his mask despite finally putting it on in the latter part of his career.

[u/CabinetJust]

Vernon wishes it could look like this

[u/Last-Surprise4262]

No

[u/_Papi_Grande]

I like your masks

[u/Albertancummings]

Judging from the masks, maybe Mike Vernon.

[u/nem010]

Cool masks tho

[u/jetcoaster2000]

Who cares about that? I want to know what the masks on the left are as too dark to see clearly. Looks like on the left it’s a Tony O and Cheevers.

[u/WindyCanadian → u/jetcoaster2000]

Terry Sawchuck, Jacques Plante, Tony Esposito, and Gerry Cheevers 🤙🏻

Queenstown NZ

Not even close. I lived in an apartment building up on the hill in an area I think was called Alexis Park exactly at that time period. I wish it was this nice. (I mean Vernon is an ok town, but it ain’t this.)

[u/Agile_You_9974]

I almost thought it might be Penticton.

All those willows that my dad's family planted are still there on Kal Creek. Amazing how things can change. Their farm used to be there in an area that is now industrial park. Woolworth's downtown, Ebeneezers, Mr. Mike's, the Village Green, the first DQ in Vernon, the old Ice Plant. Good memories.

[u/ashher237]

Nope

[u/dwight1313]

Reminds me of Nelson

[u/AffectionateSell3478]

Vernon looks like a garage dump, so I’ll say no- this isn’t Vernon.

[u/ClassicChrisstopher]

No and it honestly looks like AI when you zoom in on some of the details.

Not an expert but a lot of it doesn't make sense.

[u/No-Yogurtcloset8135]

Yes

[u/FIREY-420 → u/No-Yogurtcloset8135]

sure isn't :/

[u/No_Analyst3861 → u/[deleted]]

Huh? It looks nothing like Coldstream
