Red Scorpion
One of the first big budget Hollywood movies to be filmed in Namibia starred Dolph Lundgren. Lundgren is probably best known as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. The movie caused a lot of controversy due to the fact that it was filmed during the apartheid era. Production was halted at one point, but in the end they still finished it. It came out around 1988 and 1989.
Dhoom 2
This is one of those movies you probably didn’t know was shot in Namibia. This Bollywood was huge. It was a box office and critic success. The opening scene which takes place in the Namib is legendary. I know most of us don’t watch Bollywood movies, but this one is a must see.
The Prisoner (Miniseries)
One of the most exciting things to be shot in Namibia is the TV miniseries The Prisoners. This show had a lot of big starts including Sir Ian McKellen, Hayley Atwell , Jim Caviezel, Ruth Wilson, and Jamie Campbell Bower, who we now know as Vecna in Stranger Things. This show was big, they even had to build their own town for the show. This thing is awesome, just go check it out.
