John Rambo (Sly Stallone) is walking through the town of Hope when Sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) starts breaking his balls. Rambo doesn't take too kindly to that...
The majority of the town scenes were shot in Hope, British Columbia, Canada (not the States).

from cabin in the woods, rise of the planet of the apes posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
The utilitarian interiors of the British Columbia Institute of Technology's Aerospace Campus near Vancouver were used as the hallways of the underground control center in Cabin in the Woods, and the building also makes an appearance as part of the Gen-Sys laboratory eventually overrun by damn dirty apes in 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes reboot.

from cults posted in history by pete_nice
In March of 1997, thirty-nine bodies were found in this 7-room, 9,200 sq ft mansion north of San Diego.
The grisly scene was the result of a mass suicide by the Heaven's Gate cult. A mixture of Christianity and science fiction, the cult was led by Marshall Applewhite. Partially influenced by Star Trek, the group killed themselves so their souls could join an alien spaceship hidden in the tail of the passing Hale-Bopp comet.
