The interiors for the episode were filmed at The Paint Hall studio. The conclusion of the Tourney of the Hand that had begun in the previous episode continued to be filmed in Shane's Castle. Production moved to Malta to film many King's Landing exteriors: the dungeons of the Red Keep where Arya is lost while chasing cats were the dungeons of Fort St Angelo, in the Maltese town of Vittoriosa. For the CGI compositions of the Vale of Arryn, as seen in the establishing shot of the Eyrie and from the sky cells, the visual effects team used images and textures from the Greek rock formations of Meteora.

The show also started with images of De Pauw and Lenaerts riding horses through a green field while soundtrack music from the film "Flight of the Intruder" by Basil Poledouris was playing. As they enter a peasant's village they are cheered as heroes. In the second season a similar intro was used, but set at the beach. "Schalkse Ruiters" worked from the principle that viewers shouldn't always believe everything they see on television to be real. That's why each episode showed three reports about which their special guest, the studio audience and the viewers at home had to guess whether they were real or fake.

The producers on "The Munsters Today" felt the well known Munster house was just as important as the characters, so an authentic scale model replica was built for the series to accompany the limited colour stock footage from "Munster, Go Home!". The scale model worked well on the show, and many did not notice it was not the same house. The garden was decorated with dried oregano. There are some slight differences between the original house and the scale model used for the new show: seen from the front, the gates are now directly in front of the porch as opposed to slightly to the right.

The summit of the mountain during the Middle Ages was occupied by a castle, which has almost totally vanished today. In its place is now found a sanctuary dedicated to the Madonna of Loreto, built between 1858 and 1868. Attached to the religious structure there is a small shelter present, which is always open and equipped with 8 bed stations. A rural cableway on the Scrivia side it utilized in case of the need to transport materials. Its relatively modest altitude notwithstanding, Monte Reale is, thanks to its isolated position and distance from taller mountains, an exceptional panoramic point. On clear days, the range may be observed from the forts of Genoa to the Maritime Alps and from Monte Rosa to the Adamello, and it may be seen as far as Corsica.

Prior to the episode, commentators drew attention to a real-life homicide that occurred at Sioux Falls in 1973, in which three men impersonating police officers shot and killed four male teenagers, while a fifth victim claimed to have been sexually assaulted by one of the perpetrators. The episode's telling of the events bears little resemblance to the 1973 crime, and instead depicts a massive shootout at the fictional Motor Hotel between the South Dakota State Police, members of the Gerhardt family, Lou, Hank, and Hanzee Dent. Hawley told "Entertainment Weekly" that the Sioux Falls massacre was decided as a plot point early in the production of the second season, and that the intention was to subvert audience expectations of which characters would play key roles.

From the beginning, the series was shot in a widescreen format and the photography was comparable to movie quality. Thus in appearance the film is a drama rather than a sitcom. As the series goes on, there are more and more exteriors. Seasons 1-4 take place almost entirely in or near the fortress of Kaamelott. For the first two seasons, the interiors were shot in Paris, but production moved to Lyon for the third season (entailing changes in some sets, particularly Merlin's Laboratory). The castle exteriors are filmed at a medieval castle near Lyon. Parts of Seasons 5 and 6 were filmed in Brittany, and some of Season 6 was filmed in Rome at the Cinecittà Studios on the sets built for HBO's "Rome".

The castle was built by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, lord of Rimini, beginning on March 20, 1437, but only the central nucleus of this structure remains. According to the contemporary chronicles, Malatesta designed it, although it is known that several architects worked on the construction, including Filippo Brunelleschi, who visited Rimini for two months in 1438. Construction lasted some 15 years. The castle-palace originally was surrounded by a large moat, with a ravelin at the main entrance, sporting the heraldic symbols of the House of Malatesta. The walls were thought to be thick enough to bear the impact of the new artillery pieces of that period.

There are remains of the ancient castle, while the town centre contains some buildings from the 17th and 18th century. Just outside the old town of San Rufo, above the Tempa Sanctuary, are the ruins of the Castle of Calvanello sitting on the hilltop. The remains of the ancient village that lay at its feet are no longer visible. Built between the 9th and 10th centuries, the Castle was never used as a residence. Its purpose has always been military. The inhabitants of the fortified village that settled around the Castle took refuge inside its walls, working on the owner's land in exchange for protection.

Castello San Salvatore | Introduction
The original show involved between 86 and 142 contestants whom General Tani (Hayato Tani) "forced" into a series of physical challenges, in some ways similar to those in "It's a Knockout", eliminating many of the contestants. Each show finished with a "Final Showdown" in which Count Takeshi (Kitano) was faced by the remaining contestants. In early episodes they would storm the castle set itself in a short-range water gun assault. Later episodes introduced carts with paper rings, and eventually lasers and light-sensitive targets. If the contestant's gun penetrated the paper ring or hit the sensor on Takeshi's cart, against such weapons as a large water gun and a laser-armed plane, Takeshi's cart was deactivated, the castle was "taken" and the game "won".

The cottage used in the episode was actually a farmhouse located in South Surrey, near where the previous episodes "Home" and "Tunguska" had been filmed. The show's art department rented and refurbished the house, took photographs of the building, then returned it to its original state for the actual filming. The paintings of the house were then manipulated with Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter, allowing it to look like Amy Cassandra had made numerous paintings of the house. The show's camera operators and editors made use of several distortion techniques to give the flashback sequences a hazy, uneasy, and "dystemporal" feel.
