PHOTOBOOTHS IN MOVIES & TV

The Unit: "Games of Chance"

Directed by Terrence O'Hara, U.S.

Aired February 20, 2007 (Season 2, Episode 16)

In this episode of the David Mamet-produced series, the unit travels to Germany to take part in the annual Counter Terrorism Games. Part of the team's mission is to hijack a U-bahn train, and while scoping out station, Jonas Blane (Dennis Haysbert) hides in a photobooth. The episode seems to have been shot in a Red Line station on the Los Angeles Metro, and the photobooth doesn't look much like a German fotoautomat, but it is a nice rounded-end Model 9 or Model 11.

Thanks to Gary for the tip.
