No sé si cuente así pero en en la película de Chinatown (1975) Jack Nicholson decide llevarse a la chica a Ensenada para huir de todo el desmadre, ya casi al final de la película.
Se dice que Ensenada fue en los setentas un hotspot para filmar pornos. Hice una raspada por el Internet y encontré la portada de una peli que se llama "Ensenada Pickup". Tengo la imagen de portada por ahí guardada, y se que sigue a la venta....
Qvo.. pues mi aportacion es la siguiente:
El la primera temporada de "Heros", el una escena del el policia que lee la mente esta mirando fotos de su boda con su esposa, el dice "a nuestras fotos de ensenada".
Otra que es indirecta, en un capitulo de los simpson Bart dice que quire correr en la Baja 1000, no recuerdo que capitulo.
Saludos.
Ahhh muy buenas aportaciones a la lista de referencias, gracias a CGN, a Enrique y a Adriana.
Saludos
Si ahora Lyle Lovett editara una secuela a su álbum seguro se llamaría 'The Ugly Road To Ensenada'. Y nosotros sin hacer nada cuando hacen una mierda de lo que un día fueron sitios encantadores.

"Well, I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark

And I'm here in echo park"

hmmm hay un vodeo musical de ska, creo que es de Save Ferris donde el video es filmado en el Motel del Rio en la zona de tolerancia de la ciudad jeje, en la miramar.
También en un episodio de Rugrats aparece un souvenir de esos pescados que cantan y debajo dice "Ensenada".
¡Rugrats! wow, nunca hubiera imaginado que ahí apareciera Ensenada como referencia.
Por otro lado, también hay mitos de gente que ha sido vista en Ensenada (ej. Simon Gallup, bajista de The Cure), ¿conocen algún mito/leyenda de gente famosa en Ensenada?
Saludos
en 1992, estuvo en Ensenada, y recorrio parte de la calle primera el ex mandatario de la desaparecida Union Sovietica, "Mijail Gorbachov"
