Cutthroat
Island (1995) Director: Renny Harlin.

The most exciting sequence in
this pirate adventure is the amazing chase as the heroes played by Geena Davis and Matthew
Modine escape from their pursuers by horse-drawn carriage. It was filmed on the
western waterfront of Vittoriosa, known as Xatt ir-Risq, the long
straight stretch of dockside in front of the Maritime Museum. The film also shot
scenes at Mdina, Fort St Elmo and Dingli Cliffs and in the water tanks at Mediterranean
Film Studios.
