A few moments of footage shot at the north end of Court Street in Downtown Brooklyn, near Borough Hall, flash by in the film, but nothing, apparently, from Carroll Gardens itself.

The studio, Sony Pictures, would not answer questions about what was and was not in the movie.

. . .

A physical therapist groused that while the movie was being filmed, his patients could not park near his office and had to walk an extra block.

. . .

The protesters arrived around midnight at Foley Square and roamed around the park inspecting tents and signs built by the production company.

Bloomberg’s campaign shelled out $3,000 to a Forest Hills homeowner to shoot scenes in the garage, living room and bathroom of his 2-1/2-story, single-family residence on a tree-lined block.

. . .

[The homeowner] wouldn’t say how much he was paid. But location scout Robert Chemtob, who was hired by Epand Media to find a working-class home for the mayor’s ad, estimated the fee at $3,000.

. . .

[The homeowner] insisted he didn’t know the content of the ad.

But on Wednesday, after the arrest of a Chelsea teenager in the Starbucks attack, the police said there was no connection between that attack and the three others. Instead, the Starbucks bomber had his own agenda, the police said: to emulate the assaults on corporate America planned by a character in the movie “Fight Club.”

The teenager, Kyle Shaw, 17, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with first-degree arson and first-degree criminal possession of a weapon, the authorities said.

“His statements indicated he was launching his own ‘Project Mayhem,’ ” Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said at a news conference on Wednesday, referring to a plan hatched by the protagonist of “Fight Club,” played by Brad Pitt, to sabotage corporations by destroying property. Mr. Shaw had told a friend to “watch the news on Memorial Day,” May 25, Mr. Kelly said.

. . .

Mr. Shaw’s affinity for “Fight Club” was well known.

Bloomberg’s new commercial features him chatting up authentic-looking police officers whose insignia and patrol car identify them as members of the NYPD’s 27th Precinct.

The NYPD has no 27th Precinct — except on the long-running crime show.

Bloomberg spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker says the officers in the spot are off-duty cops — although not in official uniforms — who volunteered to appear in the ad.

Government workers and property can’t be used for political purposes, she said, so the campaign rented the fake NYPD uniforms and squad car.
