- Maya Bijou Public Bang, aired in September of 2018 titled and produced by Bang Bros of Miami, Florida did not get clearance, sign offs, or any sort of film permit to shoot in and around Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Ivan Itzkowitz, producer, director, location scout and subcontractor for Bang Bros was the person responsible for this content to be shot illegally. Local law enforcement and the Broward Alliance which is the film commission office of Broward County were informed.
In conjunction to this film he shot several other "public bang" porn films with other known porn actors using other locations illegally. One being the Seminole Indian Reservation Lands, Hard Rock Casino parking lot, Florida Dept. of Transportation Highways like the Florida Turnpike, overpasses, hard hat construction sites, State Beaches run by Fish and Wildlife, A1A (Ocean Blvd) with tourists walking by, private property without consent and knowledge, an artist studio using copyright art displayed on the film with no trespassing signs above, in front of a local church, a business building across the street using a golf cart without permission, a privately owned Mom and Pop glass company business without their consent shot on a Sunday when the business was close and in view of cars going in each direction on the Florida Turnpike causing a dangerous traffic accident, an open car junkyard, another construction site adjacent to and on the Florida Turnpike, city streets and sidewalks and last but not least an active railroad tracks with scheduled train schedules to be delayed and owned by East Coast Railroad System and shared with a new fast train system, Brightline. All scenes were in plain view with anyone in a car or on foot could witness.
These filming locations list for this film, Maya Bijou Public Bang should be removed with the business names and addresses as each business was canvassed for verification of the filming in which none gave permission and they were working with law enforcement to report if anyone attempting to shoot there again. The Mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale PD, Broward Sheriff's Office, Hollywood PD, Dania Beach Sheriff's Office, Davie PD, Seminole Indian PD and Broward State Attorney were both informed on this illegal activity taking place in their community.

These locations were not cleared or permitted for porn or any other type of shooting. It was investigated.
IMDb does not care whether it was allowed.
It just reports facts known.

Lisa Collomb Gandolfo, still, what IMDb has to do with it? Are locations listed on adult production's IMDb's page?
You are challenging me on this? I will release your name to the Detective with Fort Lauderdale Police Dept. Or you can contact them directly. IMDb can not endorse information that is not accurate. The owners of these locations were interviewed and it was verified that no filming releases were made. Bang Bros is lucky they all didn’t do a class action lawsuit against them. Or maybe it is in the works still?
What's this rubbish doing on here? Who cares about the Banging Bros or whatever.

Lisa Collomb Gandolfo, no one here is challenging you. Please read the following carefully, because so far it seems like you're misunderstanding that issues adressed are not in any way related to this website. If you're inclined to release a name of a random Ukrainian IMDb contributor who just so happens to answer you on a help forum, I'm afraid that Fort Lauderdale Police Dept. won't take you seriously. If it will, I'll honestly lose what remains of my hope in humanity, if you can forgive me such a phrasing.
Internet Movie DataBase (IMDb) is just that: it's a database. Sometimes, if such an information is available, it lists filming locations for certain productions. It might also list trivia items on how locations were filmed without permits, which is an often case for low budget productions. As an aside: such cases are very rarely actually prosecuted or even brought up by location owners, because court costs will outweigh the compensation for the problem massively.
IMDb is not in any possible way affiliated with Bang Bros or most other production companies (apart from certain Amazon affiliates and IMDb's own production company). If you want to remove private information listed on IMDb erroneously or reckelssely, then you're adressing the issue the wrong way: this post is marked as "Solved", so apart from me and several other activists (and that's what we mostly are: just dedicated users of IMDb), it's unlikely to be approached by IMDb Staff. You'll need to rephrase the problem and formulate it in a more understandable way in a new thread. Because so far this thread never states clearly on what IMDb has to do with this issue and how it can help.
If you want certain productions removed from assorted websites in order for locations not to be seen in them, that problem cannot be solved here, on IMDb and GetSatisfaction IMDb help forum. Simply because it's not in anyone's power here. Because no one here is affiliated with Bang Bros in any way. You would need to acquire their coordinates and indeed file a lawsuit, your lawyer to their. Even in case of victory (if I understand correctly) problem might not be solved, because Bang Bros videos are all over the Internet, on many websites which license and pirate their content, an industry standard for their kind as of today.

You are going to great lengths to justify unlawful shooting of pornography in public in Broward County! I will send this thread to all the Property/business owners, the Seminole Indian Police Dept. Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Fish & Wildlife, all law enforcement municipalities that illegal public porn was shot at.
I don’t care who you are or your association with IMDb. For the record this is NOT solved as a button I hit accidentally for the record.
I would like management from IMDb contact me directly and not you as you I believe don’t even live this in this country so therefore you DO NOT knows the laws in the State of Florida. I do locations for the film industry as my business so I think I am more an expert on this subject.

Thank god, report everyone then go away.

No one is justifying "unlawful shooting of pornography". Whether it is illegal or not, the videos exist and IMDb will catalog them. Exactly, what is your problem?
Nikolay Yeriomin (Mykola Yeromin), Champion
Lisa Collomb Gandolfo all I can do in that situation is change the situation from "Solved" to "No status". I just did that. Hope that helps. I sincerely hope that IMDb staff or someone will help you in that situation, but you're very much delusional if you think that I am defending unlawful shooting of photography. The situation is roughly comparable to notifying police of encylopedia that mentions a serial killer, dropping names of an editorial board as potential suspects for them to check out. That is the best way I can explain it. It won't make sense in any law, but I don't know - I had unlikeliest problems before so they might believe you.
Please make sure that you'll show full contents of this thread to police rather than suggesting that someone with my name is involved in an unlawful shooting of pronography in the country I never was in my entire life so far and now risk never even visiting because I was trying to help you with this situation. Trying to explain. That, I suppose, would be just another blow in the life of an essentially unhappy human being (me) with a nearly crippling depression who just tries to help people here, because it's one of the things I can do that brings something to someone.
You might be an expert in Florida locations and a great industry professional. You likely is a talented, respected individual and a very supportive member of a community. But you've also just threatened to accuse me of a crime I never did in my entire life for sincerely trying to help you. And... That just happens to be such a miserable experience, for some reason, that I'm not even sure right now that I ever did a right thing in my life helping other people out whenever I could. Thanks for additionally crippling my trust in humanity. As if I had much.

Nikolay....
This is a much ado about nothing thread.
This is a non issue.
The police here would ABSOLUTELY ignore investigating a complaint of this nature.
She IS all hot air!

Probably annoyed she missed out on charging fees for the location shoot...
But you're right a non issue.

No you are being an asshole. You work in the porn industry? I don’t work in the porn industry and my clients are class A clients but if your researched me you would of known that.
Then if you don’t care why are your responding?
Because we don't care to see you commenting here about an issue that is a non issue that ONLY you deem important.
YES ONLY YOU
You have ZERO support here.

For the record, this thread is being shared in it entirety. In no way did I accuse anyone on this thread with a criminal act as you Nikolay stated. What you are doing is cyber bullying me in hopes to discredit me in some way. The authorities already have the evidence.
The evidence is still up on Twitter and in plain view by just putting in #publicbang

Who owns Get Satisfaction? You are a company under contract for IMDb? If so send documentation. This is a bash message board site and by the comments I see there is a level of unprofessionalism you and others have with your posts on this thread.
IMDb is liable for listing businesses for an illegal porn film without their permission especially after the fact it was posted as such and they did nothing but have you and others attack me and belittle me on a message board.
I will have the authorities check into this matter. This matter is NOT solved or closed.
