Your tour of LA Filming Locations begins in Old Chinatown. You’ll first stop by the spot where Joe Mantell uttered the famous words “Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown” in noir Chinatown. Then you’ll see Union Station, which served as a courthouse in The Dark Knight Rises, police station in Blade Runner, and more!
If sci-fi is more your speed, you’ll find it at LA City Hall, featured in The Adventures of Superman and War of the Worlds. Then there’s the Bradbury Building, home of a climactic showdown in Blade Runner.
Next up is a bank where Jim Carrey was robbed in The Mask and Doc Oc wreaked havoc in Spiderman 2. That’s followed by the Palace Theatre, which became Club Silencio in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive.
After that, fans of supernatural flicks can’t miss the Cicada Club, the setting of an American Horror Story season, and the Millenium Biltmore, where the Ghostbusters caught their first ghost.
Need a break? Stop at the Pacific Dining Car, where Denzel Washington’s character takes Ethan Hawke’s in Training Day.
At Echo Park Lake, you’ll find the lagoon from Gilligan’s Island, as well as the location of Dom’s house in the Fast and Furious movies.
At the Music Box Steps, next, you’ll see the spot where Laurel and Hardy performed one of their most famous routines. Then, you can head to The Virgil to see where Lady Gaga first performed in the remake of A Star Is Born!
