Hollywood has returned to Cleveland for the filming of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”.
Crews transformed East 6th Street to look like Washington D.C. for Marvel's new blockbuster. Monday there were explosions, gunfire and stars like Samuel L. Jackson in his recurring role as Nick Fury.
Shooting movies in Cleveland is good for local businesses, but one car dealer really hit the jackpot this time.
Spitzer Ford in Cuyahoga Falls sold 40 used cars for use in filming “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”. All of the cars had to be running so they could reach certain speeds for stunts and other uses.
Bill Burke said it was a lot of work locating the perfect cars from all 15 Spitzer dealerships then getting them delivered to the set.
"All makes and types and models, big cars, trucks, to make it look like an actual street where cars will be driving in the street. Some will be parked and some will be blown up,” Burke said. When he was asked what it would be like to sit in the theater and watch his cars get blown up, he said "Well I'm gonna have to go watch that, for that experience."

You don't know who I am? Well sit back because my story is a beautiful tale of power and integrity, a captivating experience and ingenious story.
When I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit, I signed up for the weapon X program where I got some acid stuff in my eye which caused me to go blind except for whenever I shout the word, "SHAZAM." I was part of Project: Rebirth and given an indestructible shield, however I had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider which caused my father Odin to banish me from my home, only for both my parents to get shot in an alley. And to top it all off, I was exposed to gamma radiation when my mother died and I was abducted from Earth by a strange blue-skinned alien, which gave me the ability to teleport, shapeshift, read minds, and squirt milk from my nose.
