exellent movie . must see again and again they don't make movies likes this anymore
ReplyDeleteHollywood Boulevard & Western was apparently a common filming location. It was used in Death Wish 2 and Last American Virgin, and the music video "Rhythm Of The Night"
ReplyDeleteThe Kessler home can be seen again (from the POV of their home) at 1:06:10 and the Stone home at night can be seen again 1:10:45. I am uploading screen shots to Google maps so they can be seen on street view.
ReplyDeleteTail O The Pup was in Fact at 329 N San Vincente

Bu at the beginning at that scene there is street sign that reads, "La Cienega 300 N" which would be the northwest corner of La Cienega and Beverly Blvd, and you can in fact see the Beverly Center in the background. I wonder if they temporarily moved the Tail O The Pup stand for filming.
How about the location of Bill Pullman filming the police commissioner in the car with a hooker for the blackmail plot? hilarious! Was that really up by the Hollywood sign?
ReplyDeleteTail O The Pup was located on the corner of Beverly and La Cienega back then. I ate there a few times when taking a break from working at Pacific Stereo which was just north and across the street. Pacific Stereo was also where the interior stereo store shots were taken.
