filming moved to the los angeles area, where some sets were built on a warner bros. sound stage, including the interior rooms of saito's japanese castle (the exterior was done on a small set built in malibu beach). the dining room was inspired by the nijo castle built around 1603. these sets were inspired by a mix of japanese architecture and western influences. the production also staged a multi-vehicle car chase on the streets of downtown los angeles, which involved a freight train crashing down the middle of a street. to do this, the filmmakers configured a train engine on the chassis of a tractor trailer. the replica was made from fiberglass molds taken from authentic train parts and then matched in terms of color and design. also, the car chase was supposed to be set in the midst of a downpour but the l.a. weather stayed typically sunny. the filmmakers were forced to set up elaborate effects (e.g., rooftop water cannons) to give the audience the impression that the weather was overcast and soggy. l.a. was also the site of the climactic scene where a ford econoline van flies off the schuyler heim bridge in slow motion. this sequence was filmed on and off for months with the van being shot out of a cannon, according to actor dileep rao. capturing the actors suspended within the van in slow motion took a whole day to film. once the van landed in the water, the challenge for the actors was not to panic. "and when they ask you to act, it's a bit of an ask," explained cillian murphy. the actors had to be underwater for four to five minutes while drawing air from scuba tanks; underwater buddy breathing is shown in this sequence. cobb's house was in pasadena. the hotel lobby was filmed at the caa building in century city. limbo was made on location in los angeles and morocco with the beach scene filmed at palos verdes beach with cgi buildings. n hope st. in los angeles was the primary filming location for limbo, with green screen and cgi being used to create the dream landscape.
