ReplyDeleteHello, thank you for the comment. I called that location and they confirmed that is where the scene was filmed. If you look at the couple walking up to the Pizza Hut you see nothing but mountains in the background so a lot has been built around there since the mid 1970s
DeleteGreat movie.
ReplyDeleteI have been to a couple of these locations.

I was looking at your site today and saw that you list a Pizza Hut at on Saticoy Street in Reseda as the location from the movie. It was actually the Pizza Hut which is now a Panda Express about 75 yards west of Mason on Devonshire Street in Chatsworth. I know because I grew up there and watched much of the filming (just thought you might like to know).
ReplyDeleteHi ..I would LOVE to hear about the filming and what that entailed my email address is novacat29@hotmail.com if you would please let me pick your brain for 15 minutes THANK YOU!!-John
DeleteNo Tony, the author stated the sporting goods store in the movie is now a radio shack. What's really sad is the san fernado valley in 76 was a beautiful suburb filled with American cars, pizza parlors, arcades and white people. Now most of it is a third world toilet. That's the part about the movie which was the saddest.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a comment from the Jeff Daniels' character in "2 Days in the Valley". Another good movie.
DeleteYep, you're absolutely right. It's a third world toilet now.
DeleteAgreed. the valley is a nasty place filled with third worlders.
DeleteYes..it is truly sad... California is such a beautiful place..
DeleteIt looks like Mexico, how sad
DeleteI once ran into kelly leak filming a porno in 97'. I know this because I was in the porno which was filmed in a house in woodland hills.
ReplyDeleteThe batting cages look like Flooky's in Sherman Oaks which sadly is long gone.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the info as I have updated my page. Thanks again for helping out.
DeleteAmanda is not "Boilermaker"'s daughter. She is the daughter of one of his former girlfriends.
ReplyDeleteThank you. You are totally correct.
DeleteThanks for all the great info! I always wondered where the baseball field was located at.
ReplyDeleteThe house where the team clean the pool is at 16916 Encino Hills Dr, Encino
ReplyDeleteThere are some great photos here
Why does a baseball field over on Sepulveda Ave claim to be the "Bad News Bears Field?"
ReplyDeleteJohn, Google the info. There is a cool backstory as to why that park on Sepulveda was named after the Bad News Bears film.
DeleteGreat Website here Chas!.....Bill Bazen
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you have done this.
ReplyDeleteI was looking up the locations for a visit that I still have to convince my wife about. You helped clarify a couple of things I couldn't figure out from satellite photos

ReplyDeleteIt Looks Like The Building Where The Arcade Once Was Is Now A Dry-Cleaners.
ReplyDeleteI rewatched BNB today after watching it first in 1976. The baseball field had such a familliar feel to me. Then I saw online that it was at Mason Park right near Mason and Devonshire. It was an O WOW moment for me as i estimate I was in that area at least 2000 times from 1997 thru 2006. But one thing, there was a Ralphs grocery sign visible from the baseball diamond in the film but it's actually a Vons when I was there.
ReplyDeleteRalphs had to sell that location after a merger
DeleteRe: the photo of Amanda pitching the ball to Buttermaker at the noted location that was shot from behind Amanda, I measured the distance on Google Maps and the width of the street from curb to curb is only 30 feet. Assuming that she stood up on the berm behind the curb with the camera set up right behind her, her pitch would have been no more than 35 feet and the Little League distance from the rubber to home plate is 46 feet, but you'd never know that her pitch was that much shorther due to the camera's distorted perspective and that would only be possible with a rear shot of the pitch.
