So basically you just took everyone's locations and put them on your site and makes everything ok? Please explain to me your point on why you keep doing this instead of working on something new? You're pretty much a thief whether you ask them for there permission or not. be creative, be smart and most of all, don't be stupid! You're giving everyone else that puts in work in this business a bad name.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Just like you took all of your Blues Brothers locations from the Blues Brothers Central website. Lame! Why don't you do something original instead of something that's already been done?
ReplyDeleteSeems to me he gave credit where credit is due while others are taking their hobbies a little too seriously....
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous #3. It's a hobby. It's not a business. What Chas appears to be doing is gathering single pieces of info from multiple sites and compiling them into one single entry. It's your one stop shop. It's a blog. It's a hobby. If you have issues with people using your information, then don't post it on a web site. Keep it private in your own little scrap book.
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous #2- I understand if you have hurt feelings about the BB movie. Have you looked at the other 200 movies Chas has listed? Maybe there is something in there that hasn't "already been done" that you might enjoy.
Keep up the good work, Chas. I enjoy your post. I only hope that one day I can visit Chicago.

Wow, Anonymouses #1 & #2, get a life (and identities).
ReplyDeleteI love this site. Chas presents plenty of original material (I know, b/c some of it was suggested by me)and it's organized in way that's very user-friendly. It's useful, informative and fun.
Chas also publishes our comments (even if they're unkind) which is much appreciated and takes our suggestions seriously which makes the site interactive in the best possible way.
So, please keep up the good work Chas. I get so much pleasure from reading and contributing to the site. It's also extra special for me personally b/c Los Angeles and Chicago are two of "my" three cities. I've about worn out Google Maps looking up the addresses I'm not familiar with. The site's made me explore areas of LA & Chicago that I wouldn't have otherwise which has given me a greater appreciation of both towns.
Thank you so much.
P.S. Oh Tony (Anonymous #4), your "Keep it private in your own little scrapbook" line made me laugh out loud. Thx!
When the terminator pulls up and yanks the biker out of the phonebooth ("you have a serious attitude problem, buddy") there is a sign that reads "Ziggy's" across the street. I visited the Los Angeles Public Library and looked up Ziggy's in a 1984 phone book and it had an address of 14316 Victory Boulevard in Van Nuys. What's there now is a Giovanni & Son human hair.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your source for 1:04 being in Griffith Park? I'd love to narrow down where.
ReplyDeleteTwo crew members. Said it was used for the horse trails. Near the Zoo or old zoo I believe.
DeleteI spent a sweaty afternoon exploring Griffith Park. There's nothing near the Old Zoo, and I even showed the screenshot to a groundskeeper. However when I started to follow the equestrian horse-riding tracks, I started to come across a number of almost exactly matching tunnels. They occur wherever there is a main road, to take the horses under the route that the cars take.
ReplyDeleteClose, but no cigar... yet. The closest match was right outside the "Travel Town" gates, on Zoo Drive.

Keep looking as hopefully it will be found. If I lived in LA I would be doing the same thing.
DeleteHi, great!!!
DeleteCan you tell me the exact coordinate of the small tunnel?
I'm Italian boy and next month I will be in LA for one week.
I would be happy to visit this locations!!
thank you in advance :)
Here's the exact location of my photos. Good luck! http://bit.ly/2H8NCvk
Delete3D view of the tunnel: http://bit.ly/2H2cPYl
DeleteThank you so much Christian !!!
Deleteis easy to access on foot from that coordinate?
Yes very easy. Just park across the road in the car park.
DeleteAnother big thumbs up Chas. I been trying to find Terminator 1 shooting locations for a while and didn't find much. You have a lot of stuff that other websites for the movie don't have.
ReplyDeleteI believe I have uncovered the location of the Police Station.
ReplyDeleteThe building was located at 6000 S Boyle Ave in Vernon and I think belonged to the Bethlehem Steel Plant. The plant shut down in 1982 and the whole area, including this building was razed in 1985.
A different part of the plant was used for filming of the Resistance scenes.
Here is one photo of the building. There are several more on photos.lapl.org by searching for ‘Lipsett Steel’. All have been taken from a distance though.
The address came from a call sheet I found online.
Thank you very much for information.
ReplyDeleteHi,

thank you in advance :)

Awesome site!! Thanks for all the info!
ReplyDeleteso the Motel scene......just 7411 Santa Fe. Is were my Mom moved us to around 1985 after leaving my dad. Living in the still existant rear section of the Duenas furniture store that now exists. Later on in life my uncle built a buisness in front were I worked till 2000.
ReplyDeleteIf I was older I would have scene the film in progress. I loved eating at the Spartans burgers that visible when he gets on the bike and chases them.
Doubt you'll ever read this but I'm a Los Angeleno too. I grew up inside of downtown so the first half of the film is very nostalgic to me. The crazy part is, most of it hasn't changed, with the right cameras, lighting and wardrobe, you could perfectly recreate the world Cameron built.
DeleteAnyway, hope you find some peace in the city of angels.
Thanks for posting these locations. : )
