Atlanta, Georgia

As a couple in the US suburbs, Emily and Matt lead fairly monotonous lives until their past catches up with them. Then, they get "back in action," which involves them doing anything required to protect their family. During these scenes, they drive recklessly through their neighborhood, occasionally damaging some lawns. These scenes were reportedly shot in Atlanta, Georgia, and local homeowners were taken on board for these scenes.

While speaking about shooting them, director Seth Gordon said:

“It became a question of which neighborhood is going to let us drive over their lawns and smash up fences? It was a long dance to earn the trust of the neighbors and to plan a route so it wouldn’t actually disrupt things for anyone.”

The film's credits also thank the Georgia Film Office for their help.

London, England

Emily and Matt travel to England after their cover gets blown to retrieve something that they were supposed to get during their last CIA mission. So, the film shows them traveling to London, in and around the Heathrow Airport. Besides this location, the film was also shot in the Thames River, which appears in the film's critical moments. Back during the film's production, Metro UK revealed a few photos of Diaz on a boat in this river.

Waddesdon Manor, England

Waddenston Manor from Buckinghamshire, a National Heritage Site, is used in the scenes when Emily and Matt take their children to meet Emily's mother, Ginny (played by Glenn Close). The manor offers elaborate architecture that serves as the interior of Ginny's mansion. Reportedly, the film was shot in the interiors and outside the manor, which is a major tourist attraction in London.

Slovenia

Besides the Georgia Film Office, the film's post-credits also give thanks to the Republic of Slovenia. So, the film was presumably shot in this scenic European country. The initial scenes where Emily and Matt briefly escape a life-threatening plane crash amid a snowscape were possibly shot in Slovenia.

Québec, Canada

Québec was referred to in the film's credits, which extends its thanks to the Canadian Film or Video production services. So, some Back in Action scenes were likely shot in this Canadian city, possibly in some of its local studios. The film might have used some real-life locations for the scene where the couple fights a bunch of people at a gas station. However, there is no official confirmation for it.
