I usually like to wait until I have more, but since no one is biting:
1. The rest are locations, all I have here is Colin and Stephen which I believe is wrong.
2. Miami
3. New York City (though New Amsterdam fits the historical reference better)
4. Mountain Meadows, Utah (site of a famous massacre)
5. Could be a few places but I believe it refers to the colors of Los Angeles city flag.
You are correct, they are all locations. 2,3 and 5 are correct. You are on the right track with 1 and 4, but not quite there.
4 is Las Vegas (literally "the meadows" in Spanish)
Still working on 1.
Alright, Nobody else is jumping in here so I'm going to call 1. London and 6. These are the cities that the cities in Grand Theft Auto are loosely based on.
It's the best I got.
You nailed it. Just out of curiosity, how did you get to London.
It was a shot in the dark with 2 British actors and in my research of fictional cities I found GTA games had all of the rest and 2 London expansions. I was on GTA early but my misstep on number 4 threw me off and I was unsure of number 1.
This is the only link you were missing, but it didn't seem to hurt you.

I actually looked at the list of movies that Firth and Fry did together and somehow missed the alternate title to Four Play. Excellent clue. Miami took leg work looking through skyline pics, but by appearance I knew it was American and probably South-Eastern. Las Vegas obviously threw me off because there is a Mountain Meadows on the Old Spanish Trail that is historically significant.
Good game.
