I haven’t seen all these movies, but for the ones I have, some of these are QUITE a stretch or completely false to say they take place “almost entirely” in one location. I mean, if you think about it, a LOT of movies have a primary location, but A LOT of these have PLENTY of screen time that take place in a lot of different locations.

Friday, much of the film takes places in one neighborhood, the only time they leave the neighborhood is to go to a nearby convenience store.
