Filming Locations Guide: Where was Extraction filmed?
Posted by Ra Moon
Let's take a look at where Extraction was filmed and how it was filmed. The Netflix movie's filming locations span three Asian countries: India, Thailand, and Bangladesh.
But first of all, just in case, this link will extract you to all the locations where the new Extraction 2 movie was filmed.
But first of all, just in case, this link will extract you to all the locations where the new Extraction 2 movie was filmed.
Most of the film is set in Dhaka, one of the most densely populated cities in the world with around 20 million inhabitants.
The God of Thunder travels to a chaotic Asian metropolis to deal with the Goonies from hell, and an army of cops to save a kid from the clutches of an evil drug lord.
Extraction doesn't focus too much on the plot, but it does offer some outstanding action scenes.
The film is the directing debut of the former Chris-Captain America-Evans stunt double, Sam Hargrave.
Hargrave moved up in the Marvel ranks to become the stunt manager for the Avengers franchise. With Extraction, he delivers his own pure stunt movie, written by Endgame director Joe Russo and starring a key star of the saga, Chris Hemsworth.

The movie features a long, complex, and intense chase sequence filmed in a series of long shots, that the filmmakers seamlessly stitched together.
The production took over a neighborhood in Ahmedabad (the Rudra Prayag Flats in the Ranip, according to the local press) to film some sections of the eleven minutes take.
The car crash scene was shot by the river near Ashram Road. After Ahmedabad, shooting continued in Mumbai.

More on film director Sam Hargrave: When we go behind the scenes you can find him holding the camera sitting on an external chair, tied to a car filming vertiginous close-ups.
Also, he is acting as Tyler Rake's sniper and friend. Have you noticed the name of Ovi's school? The boy attends the Hargrave International School of Mumbai.
The city was also one of the filming locations featured in Tenet, the 2020 Christopher Nolan action movie.
Please don't ask me how we found the exact location of Extraction's bridge. Translated from Thai into the Latin alphabet the viaduct would be called something like Lat Bua Khao Bridge.
The production turned the small village of Tha Pha, located in Ban Pong District at 50 miles west of Bangkok, into a huge set.
The viaduct surroundings were CGI'd to double as the Sultana Kamal Bridge in Dhaka. The waterfall in The Kimberley, Australia was shot somewhere in Thailand.

The crew shot just three days of establishing shots in Old Dhaka.
The cast also includes David Harbour (Stranger Things), Golshifteh Farahani (Paterson, Pirates of the Caribbean), and Bollywood actors Randeep Hooda, Pankaj Tripathi, Priyanshu Painyuli, Brahmpur, and newcomer Rudhraksh Jaiswal.

And where is the luxurious domed mansion-casino of Bangladeshi crime lord Amir Asif? Thanks to Thai Redditors we've found out that the opulent white complex is a 'corporate office' in Ban Chang (Mueang Pathum Thani District), and it's called the Eagle house (บ้านนกอินทรีย์).
The tree-eagled house is a popular filming spot that is rented from time to time to shoot Thai productions. If you check the location on Google Maps, you'll see that the area has zero glamour.

The house is located in a provincial town surrounded by orchards - the neighboring streets were CGI'd into the scene.
The 'outside Dhaka city limits' palace where Rake's mercenary team reunites is one of the countless new properties like this one all over Thailand. They are built in a sumptuous, kitsch style, and none of them have any historical significance.
