Ever notice how many "action" movies/TV shows involve a bad guy vs. good guy shoot-out in some kind of industrial facility that features lots of pumps and piping and stuff?

Also ever notice how fake most of the background looks during these events?

I propose two things:

-the movie guys think that the audience considers industrial locations to be dark, foreboding, mysterious and dangerous -they don't have very good prop people
