<P> Location plate shooting took place in Chicago in April 2007 . Several chase scenes , including one with a low flying helicopter , were shot in Chicago over two days , on Wacker Drive along the Chicago River , between Columbus Drive and LaSalle Street . The opening scene was filmed using the Carbide & Carbon Building . Production moved to the Czech Republic later in May , scheduled for 12 weeks of shooting , which included a scene in Pernštejn Castle . Using a former sugar factory in Prague , production designer John Myhre constructed a large textile factory as part of an industrial world , the setting of a mythological environment in which looms create fabrics that weavers interpret as assassination orders . Afterward , filming moved to Budapest , then returned to Chicago in August . While the actors performed many of their own stunts , with free running and parkour in some of the action scenes , and Angelina Jolie being actually strapped to the hood of a moving Dodge Viper , some of the especially high - risk sequences required digital doubles instead . Two full - sized train cars were built , a Chicago ' L ' for a training scene where Fox and Wesley run atop a train , and a Czech Pendolino for the derailment , which was stationed in a gimbal equipped with hydraulics to allow the car to tilt and roll as the train crashed . The film originally had both an alternate opening and an alternate ending . The alternate opening , a flashback to ancient times describing the history of the Fraternity and the Loom of Fate , is available on the special edition DVD and Blu - ray . </P>
