The classic 1981 Steven Spielberg film “Raiders of the Lost Ark” was filmed in England, Tunisia, Northern California and Hawaii. The opening famously depicts the Paramount Pictures logo fading into a mountain peak. The real peak is located on Kalalea Mountain in Kauai. While this is a well known filming location, power lines run down the road leading to the peak, so to get an unobstructed shot, you need to be back a further distance.
