the bell tower

The bell tower that is featured prominently throughout Martin McDonagh's dark comedy In Bruges is located in the Market Square, although if you're visiting Bruges I doubt you'd miss it.

The medieval belfry dates back to the 13th century. It's 83 meters tall (that's over 270 feet for us Yanks), and it takes 366 steps up the narrow staircase to reach the top.

king of clubs (former)

from fargo posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery

This is the former location of the bar where Jerry first meets up with Carl and Gaear at the beginning of Fargo. It's the only part of the movie actually set in Fargo, North Dakota, although the Coen brothers filmed the scene at the neighborhood bar King of Clubs here in Northeast Minneapolis.

The building was torn down sometime in the early 2000s to make way for an apartment complex.

Frank Goodish, a 6'8" giant best known as Bruiser Brody, wrestled in the NWA, the AWA, the WWWF and many other promotions during the territory days of the 70s and 80s.

In 1988 Brody traveled to Puerto Rico for a show on July 16 at Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium in Bayamón. In the locker room before the show he was stabbed by a wrestler named Invader (real name José González). Brody died at the hospital early the next morning.

González was charged with the murder and claimed self-defense. In spite of the controversy surrounding his motives for killing Brody, González was acquitted after a trial in Puerto Rico the following year.

where owen hart died

from owen hart posted in pro wrestling by chewing_the_scenery

Owen Hart fell to his death at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City on May 23, 1999 during WWF's Over the Edge pay-per-view.

Hart had recently reprised the masked Blue Blazer gimmick that he used when he first debuted in the WWF over ten years before. A stunt was planned where he would descend from the ceiling in a harness and grapple line before his match, but he ended up accidentally falling over fifty feet into the ring.

Luckily the arena house lights were down at the time while a backstage promo aired and no footage exists of the fall.
