Locations That Have Been Used In Movie Filming Location Los Angeles
So many films are made in Los Angeles that it’s all to easy to get yourself a feeling of deja vu after you have been there quite some time. Actually, you could not really go more than a couple of miles without passing the location where something-or-other were filmed. This list concentrates on locations that have been used in movie filming location Los Angeles that you may have seen.
This great old downtown Biltmore Hotel stood in for it appears in Ghostbusters as the fictional Sedgewick Hotel as well as in Vertigo, The Sting, Chinatown, Beverly Hills Cop, Bugsy, Rocky III and Wedding Crashers. Near Downtown Los Angeles, there is the classic Chinatown starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. Some others made here consist of Lethal Weapon 4, Rush Hour starring Jackie Chan and Made of Honor.

You recognize the scenes in which the vehicles get down in the cement-banked, nearly-dry river bed? The L. A. River was the target of several fairly undignified straightening, deepening and also concrete paving in order to keep periodic floods from wreaking damage on the city. Along the way, they created a great place to shoot chase scenes. Among the ones you can record as having been filmed here are the Italian Job, To Live and Die in LA, Grease and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Built in 1936 and docked in Long Beach since 1967, the Queen Mary isn’t just a ship, it’s also a hotel and it has a wedding chapel, dining places and eighteen art deco reception salons. It stood in for the ill-fated cruise liner in the original Poseidon Adventure as well as in Pearl Harbour, LA Confidential, Someone to Watch over Me, Chaplin, Batman Forever and The Aviator.
Who will forget those great scenes from Pretty Woman, on Rodeo Drive? Other motion pictures produced along this famous shopping street consist of American Gigolo, Beverly Hills Cop, Down and Out in Beverly Hills and even Shampoo.

Other movie appearances for the pier include Forrest Gump, Fletch, and Thank You for Smoking, Beverly Hills Cop III, The Net and They Shoot Horses Don’t They? The 1950 William Holden-Nancy Olson film Union Station holds its name, however it also shows up in Pearl Harbour, The Way We Were, Blade Runner, Speed, and Star Trek: First Contact, Silver Streak not to mention The Italian Job. The old ticket windows stood in for Miami National Bank in the Leonardo DiCaprio- Tom Hanks caper Catch Me if You Can.
The odd Vasquez Rock formations in this county park have stood in for movie filming location Los Angeles and even photo shoot location through the years.
