Where was Hobbs & Shaw filmed? The Samoa Island & all the Filming Locations

Hobbs & Shaw is a spin-off of the popular Fast & Furious franchise, starring Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock) and his reluctant partner in crime and fun, The Mechanic Jason Statham.

This high-octane blockbuster takes place two years after the events of the previous film The Fate of the Furious, where producers and studio executives noticed the comedic chemistry between the two.

The duo will be challenged by Idris Elba in the role of the villain Brixton Lore. Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Fallout, The Crown), also stars as the MI6 agent and Deckard's sister, Hattie Shaw. Eiza González (Alita, Baby Driver) plays the mysterious billionaire Madam M.

The movie is primarily set in London and Luke's childhood home on the island of Samoa. The sections of the movie that take place in the South Pacific Ocean nation were filmed on the wonderful island of Kauai in Hawaii.

The Rock, who appears in a house in the Fast X's post-credit scene, will come back in a the next installment of the speedy saga.

Welcome to Samoa and our -almost- spoiler-free guide to all the shooting locations of Hobbs & Shaw.

The movie was shot on location in London, with studio work taking place at Shepperton Studios.

The center of Glasgow doubled as London for the car chase scenes. The streets around George Square were closed down to traffic to host the production.

Pictured, the archway of The City Chambers on John Street. The chase ends up in front of The Piper bar on Cochrane Street.

Some more filming took place on the M8 highway and the Kingston Bridge.

Madam M's mansion in Moscow was filmed in the 18th-century West Wycombe Park country house in Buckinghamshire.

The manor house provided all the interiors and exterior for the shoot including the facade, which was digitally painted green.

The Russian decorative elements and the green color were added to the film in post-production.

The Eggborough Power Station near Selby (North Yorkshire) was a coal-fired plant that closed down in September 2018.

Hence it was the perfect time to shoot here some of the most spectacular action scenes of the movie, using the eight massive cooling towers of the old industrial facility as a backdrop.

The interiors were filmed in the larger pavilion at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre in Hampshire, a pillar-free event space with 8m high ceilings.

The scenes taking place in Samoa were filmed on Kauai Island. The Old Sugar Mill of Koloa is a national historic landmark, which served as a key location for the last part of the movie.

According to Reel News Hawaii, the set of Hobbs's family house is located near Gillin's Beach (the foundations are visible in Google Maps).

The helicopter and the trucks have been composited into footage shot on the Nā Pali Coast, on the northwest shore of Kauai.

Much of this stunning fifteen-mile stretch of coastline is inaccessible due to its characteristic sheer cliffs, and there are almost no roads.
