Blue Max

Kev’s Pursuit for the Blue Max Locations!

While in Ireland, we set out to find the locations of where the Blue Max movie was shot. As we discovered, searching for locations 40 years after the movie was shot proved to be difficult. Well, I think with a little more research we can at least get one spot! Maybe next time.

Here’s some photos of our journey.

Kev’s list of locations
