Extraction 2 Locations
The movie picks up where the original film left off, with a flashback to the final scene set in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The production turned the small village of Tha Pha, located in the Ban Pong district 50 miles west of Bangkok, into a giant set to shoot the Ladbuakhao bridge sequence.
The filmmakers used some stock footage of the beautiful village of Ushguli in Georgia to show the establishing shot of Kojori.
Kojori is a town near the capital of the country, Tbilisi. However, the amazing land of the towers in Georgia is located quite far away from there, in the remote northern areas of the country.

The scene in Gmunden in Austria, where Tyler recovers in a cozy cabin, was filmed on the main square of Kouřim, a quaint town located in the Central Bohemian region of the Czech Republic.
As you can see, the bell tower was removed from the background of the scene and some other elements were added via CGI.

The Tkachiri Prison in Georgia, where the crazy 21-minute long take action scene begins, was filmed in the old Mladá Boleslav Prison in the Czech Republic.
Though it's hard to see the cuts, the shoot, which was filmed in various locations, took 29 days to complete.

According to the local press, the train sequence was filmed under freezing conditions on the Chomutov - Vejprty railway line, situated in the north of the country.
Crossing the Ore Mountains, there is a section of the line that has been closed since 1972, ideal for shooting some stunts with real helicopters.

The safe house in Vienna is the tallest building in Austria, the DC Tower.
For a couple of weeks, the film crew took over the entire area surrounding this 820-foot high (250-meter) skyscraper.

The interiors were filmed in the same complex, including the luxurious Meliá Vienna hotel and the 57th restaurant, both hosted in the tower.
At this hotel, you can stay in a double room and check out the safety features of the gym equipment for about USD 220 per night.
A local website revealed that the temple under restoration was filmed at the Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary in Litoměřice.
The atmosphere inside this impressive 18th-century baroque temple is reminiscent of the church scene in John Wick 4.

However, the exterior of the church was recorded somewhere else.
The Czech Film Commission informed that the movie was also filmed in Valdek, Milovice, Doksany, Brdy, Jesenice, Struhy, Roudnice nad Labem, Dobříš, and in several locations in Prague, including the famous Barrandov Studios.
There is a short snippet from Schwarzau Prison, which was actually filmed at Pilsen-Bory Prison, also in the Czech Republic.
