Good job finding the location of the tunnel entrance scene. I pass by Canal and Fulton St. all the time and I never put the two together. Great web site too.

At the end of the movie, there's quick dramatic view of Chicago as they ride out of a tunnel, exiting it. Any idea where that is, if it's even real? I'm betting the cityscape was superimposed like it was in the rest of the movie?
ReplyDeleteThat "dramatic view" (again with skyline buildings like the Stone Container trapezoid composited in) is looking east at the distinctive double-arched Chicago Stock Exchange (with the Chicago Board of Trade tower visible as well). It's a real location but the skyline is fictional.
ReplyDeleteLove this movie
ReplyDeleteChris's house is on 51 Donwoods Drive in North York. But it has been remodeled twice actually. On classic street view, The 2nd story room was added on, and in the movie, it wasn't added yet. Yesterday, on street view. It's been totally remodeled with more stuff. Watch the movie again, and look at the houses that you see in the movie where the Camaro start's from Domino Avenue, and turns right on Donwoods Drive. In the movie, you can briefly see the number 51 on the white fence. But the fence is not there anymore. At least the house is still there, but it's remodeled now.
ReplyDeleteYep, you found it. I'm glad to see that it's on street view. But I kinda missed it being white with the blue shutters. Location comfirmed!
DeleteHi thank you for telling me about the house. I have added it and updated my page. Thanks again. If you want credit for the find let me know and I will add it.
DeleteYou may want to make a note on Chris's house.
DeleteI was also so confused because the street he turns off of was called Harman St. but now it's been completely renamed to Donino Ave.! That did not help in my quest to find the house.
ReplyDeleteI think the Bus Station was at 609 Bay St
ReplyDeletein Toronto, Ontario
I believe it's still Chicago at the intersection of Randolph and State as that is Marshall Field's (now Macy's) Department store on the left, sporting the Green Clock on the corner of the building, which is the only corner of the building that has the clock. It appears way in the background the Sears Tower was superimposed as that is between Adams and Jackson, Franklin and Wacker and wouldn't be insight from this vantage point.
DeleteNo, it used to be the main Greyhound station that was located on Randolph and Clark in Chicago; I used to go there a lot as a teen because while it was seedy, it had a killer videogame arcade inside. It's since been torn down to create the Theater District that's there now.
DeleteHi there - got some of the Toronto locations you didn't have.

Thank you sir. I have updated my page. Thanks for your work too.
ReplyDeleteI was super bummed when I found out how much of this movie was filmed in Canada (not that I have anything against Canada). Because of all the John Hughes (and this Chris Columbus movie) of the time I really wanted to live in the Chicago burbs. Anyway, a telltale sign (for me anyway) that this was filmed in Canada was when Sarah was looking at the toy store window. If you look carefully, a Hyundai Pony can be seen in the reflection. Hyundai never sold the Pony in the US due to the US's strict emissions controls. Hyundai entered into Canada in 1982 but did not come to the US until 1986 when the Excel replaced the Pony.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know where they filmed the interior garage scene with the stolen cars?
ReplyDeleteI still love this. One of my fav movies of all time. I'm actually going to do a before and after photo comparison soon of the locations. XD
ReplyDeleteLiving 20 minutes from The City I grew up watching AIB. It's definitely in my top 5. I'm 32 and this movie will always have a special place in my heart.
ReplyDeleteChris Parkers house has been remodeled and is nuch different today.
ReplyDeleteEvery film buff is familiar with the prestigious American Film Institute. What better way to reward their passion for films than allowing your movie buff to become part of that institute by buying them a membership to the AFI. gogo anime
