Actually this ^^
they used high-definition Panavision Genesis cameras for night-time flming.
I remember Gibson talking about it on the DVD Commentary.
Awesome movie BTW.
I'm a bit late to the thread, but how about the night time scenes from Amando De Ossorio's Tombs Of The Blind Dead? The night time scenes in that one were used outside and around the ruins of a real deserted monastery somewhere in Spain. Very effective and atmospheric camera work. There again, "Tombs" was a unique movie in all regards!
