Hi, I was just watching COLORS and checking out the locations on here, then taking a look at them on Google Streetview. One thing I've found is that the S. Toluca Street Graffiti Covered Cement Building (once a railroad station maybe?) hasn't been torn down, its actually still there and its been renovated: http://g.co/maps/ujuhs
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct. Wow!!! Very interesting discovery. Thanks for the info.
DeleteThat’s the Belmont tunnel graffiti yard it’s a historic building because of the graffiti.
DeleteI am pretty sure this location is using in the serie V (the orginal one) for a scene featuring Michael Ironside.
DeleteBelmont Tunnel aka Toluca Substation (Graffiti covered building)
ReplyDeleteThe Belmont Tunnel / Toluca Substation and Yard is a designated historic monument located within the city limits of Los Angeles. The tunnel, substation and yard are remnants of the former Pacific Electric Railway's line that ran between the Subway Terminal Building in Downtown Los Angeles and the residential district of Westlake. The monument occupies a vacant lot roughly one mile west of downtown.
Thank you for the info.
DeleteThe scene 0:51 is on shields drive. That tiny house still there. 600 shields drive
ReplyDeleteThank you for the correction as I guess I didn't look close enough to the house.
DeleteThe building with the mural was also in the scene in Falling Down in the drive by shooting attempt on D-Fens while he was on a payphone calling his ex-wife.
ReplyDeleteYou forget to mention in this page the scene of the 21st gang walking together with angry faces and relatiation feeling towards crip deville gang.Then they jump into car top of a hill with the view of l.a. downtown. Could you please say what place, neighbourhood or street is?
ReplyDeleteLets see, if i can help (can't seem to get my comment online). That was in an alley between White Knoll drive and N. Beaudry avenue. Looking down from Figueroa Terrace.
DeleteThe bottom of the alley is behind 817 Centennial st. On google maps, you can actually go in the alley. And yes, The top of the alley is 1015 Figueroa Terrace.
DeleteTo the question of the scene 0:21 minutes, with mcgabin and Luisa at the mexican food stand, maybe is located in some Inglewood area, because you can see graffiti of IVC (Imperial Village Crips).
ReplyDeleteWhen I watched the DVD it said somewhere "Locke-Ness" and I figured it might be the name of the establishment. I looked it up in a 1988 LA phone book at the library and in the words of Jeff Spicoli: "No dice!"
ReplyDeleteFound something like this on the taco stand, but not sure if it's the real deal or not...

How very strange. A GMC van or similar almost identical to the one Rocket was driving and the one the CRASH officers were looking for I noticed while looking around this area Google Maps. It even has the ladder on the back and dark tinted windows. Check the area around 271 Emerald Street.
ReplyDeleteThe famous Belmont tunnel, the fictional "21st street" gang's turf, is now a giant apartment complex that engulfs the entire area where the graffiti filled, slabs of concrete were. Unrecognizable today.
ReplyDeleteThere's a liquor store on Soto st. in Boyle Heights, just south of the 10 freeway that looks a lot like the liquor store in the movie with the steep driveway, where they bust the guys in Rocket's van. Always wondered if that might have been it. Must be a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteTeam Chuck Norris found the Burger stand. 12 blocks north.

What was the bridge in the background where the homies step to Pacman for spraying that kid's face? This scene was only seen in the VHS extended version.
ReplyDeleteThe scene from the extended VHS version where the kid confronts Pac Man when he picks up Maria is the same bridge from earlier, when the guys say they haven't seen any "gang members" around. Lorena and 4th street, Boyle Heights. Where's the store where T-Bone gets down with his rabbit?
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I got a picture of the mural on Northwest Corner Of S. Main Street And W. 113th Street! A dream came through, because i love this movie.
ReplyDeleteMark from Italy
The scenes are great, this is where the production of good movies.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Thanks for all the hints to the locations. ;D
ReplyDelete> McGavin Making An Arrest Of A Potential Drug Dealer
ReplyDeleteI think that was on Juniper, not Croesus.
What is the street when the movie opens with the empty street and the crip van stopping and turning to do the blood hit, I tried to look for the corner store with the light on the outside but i have no luck finding the location.
