Movie’s Prison Guards
Interestingly, the movie prison guards filmed in Lee Arrendale State Prison are not actually actors but real prison guards as well. They were all told what to do and according to Lynn, they were “extremely cooperative”.
Filmed In Georgia
What’s unique in the film is that, unlike many other movies, My Cousin Vinny was filmed on location around various places in Georgia. Only the interior courtroom scene was filmed on a set in Covington, GA.
