From the Jerusalem's Old City walls to Tel Aviv's beaches, Israel's landscapes have played host to an unexpectedly wide range of films over the years
We all know that Israel and Hollywood have always had a love-love relationship - after all, they say that Jews run Hollywood for a reason, right?

From Rambo III to Schindler's List, here are ten Hollywood films that were shot across Israel - from Eilat's beaches to Jerusalem's Old City walls, you might just recognize more than you think you know in the backdrops of these various films.
This 1988 American action flick is part of a four-part series that sky-rocketed Sylvester Stallone to international fame (not to mention the popularity of a certain controversial action figure).

The Guinness World Records deemed the movie the most violent film ever made (at the time).
