I live in the Bay Area and was all over Alameda when they were filming, it was intense. I do have some stories, and had lots of fun one afternoon thanks to a real cool guy named Clay. (check imdb.) They also filmed on the streets of Oakland, which is close to Alameda. Australia was where they did the rest (though the CG effects company was in Alameda too).
