While this error is amusing, You is far from the only movie or tv home to function location that does not map effectively onto reality. This is an issue that has actually pestered whatever from the low-budget bad-good gem The Room, which includes characters relatively teleporting around San Francisco, to the renowned comedy Seinfeld, which sees the characters speeding through different New York City districts in record time.
