Another one from Brussels
charles-p-hall29 June 2016
This is the second episode that takes place in Brussels at the World's Fair. The Atomium is visible in the background and Mike visits one of the buildings there. In the final scene he rides off in one of the peculiar 3-wheeled carts they used at the Fair. He also stops by a building that looks like it may be the real US Embassy in Brussels.

I'm amazed at how many on location shots there are of McGavin in this series. For a show that IMDb says was filmed solely in Los Angeles, they must have made a lot of field trips to New York, as well as these even more remote shoots.

But the most interesting thing in this particular episode is a fight scene near the end. Mike fights a guy who has a really strange kickboxing style of fighting. He claims its "Savate", which is a real form of French kickboxing. Whether this is an actual example of the style or not, it's well worth watching!
