Where was Borat 2 filmed?

BORAT 2 landed on Amazon Prime to critical acclaim.

A common theme with it's filming locations is that often crew didn't alert venue owners before showing up.

Where was Borat 2 filmed?

Aside from a brief glimpse into Borat's village in Kazakhstan, the film was shot across parts of America.

New York

This is where the controversial hotel moment with Rudy Giuliani took place.

In July, Rudy obliviously took part in a staged interview at the Mark Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.

After the interview Borat bizarrely ran in, and a confused Rudy called New York police.

South Carolina

Halloween Highway, North Pleasantburg Drive

Borat makers were spotted at Halloween Highway, except the staff there weren't aware of Borat so were none to wiser to what was actually going on.

In true Borat style, no one was alerted before filming took place so the store owner only knew of their presence once crew were ready to start filming.

The Greenville journal spoke to one of the store's employees, who said: "They just walked on in and asked if they could shoot in there.

"I had to ask my manager if it was OK, and he wanted to know the name of the movie or show they were shooting, but they wouldn’t tell him.

"They gave me a paper to sign that didn’t even have a name of the movie on it."

Spartan Bakery, Spartanburg 

The crew were also spotted at a bakery in Spartanburg.

Texas

Republicworld.com reported that the crew were then spotted in Arlington, Texas.

They were seen at a local driving range and again nothing was revealed when the owner asked questions about what they were filming.

California

In Los Angeles, Sacha Baron Cohen was reportedly seen driving a yellow truck.

This footage then was shared on social media which built hype around the possibility of a Borat sequel.

It's the same yellow truck that can be spotted in the movie's trailer.

Maryland

This is where Borat crashes the Conservative Political Action Conference dressed as the KKK.

The conference took place in February 2020.

Borat claims to be Stephen Miller while dressed in KKK uniform, before then changing into a Trump outfit.

Where was Borat 2 set?

Borat 2 sees Borat return to America during lockdown.

The film starts with him briefly in Kazakhstan as he informs his village of his plan to go back to the States.

Deadline reported that Borat 2 was the first film shot during the coronavirus shutdown.

The team made agreements with unions and began shooting the next day with as small a crew as possible.

The film was shot extremely quickly given the circumstances.

Sacha Baron Cohen had to wear a bulletproof vest at times during shooting due to putting himself in high risk situations.
