Any car movie locations you want to visit?

I'd like to see the locations from the first F&F. Maybe from Vanishing Point. The Denver locations from VP are long gone and are upscale condos now.

I know where the end scene on the first Fast n Furious movie was shot. Terminal Island where they built up the port of LA in the late 90s. A race track was there before that, besides racing there every weekend I was a night guard on the whole port project so when they got to the scene in the movie I recognized it.

Also the bridge jump scene in the Gone in 60 seconds remake was on the Vincent Thomas Bridge, which is the bridge I crossed every day to fo to Terminal Island.

I tagged along with a friend on a self-directed Vanishing Point tour a few years back.

Floyd, where is that? Do you have more pics?

 

[themechanic]

Not particularly. Besides, travel is too expensive for pensioners.

Intersection of Ketcham and Archerdale roads in Linden, CA. Where Crazy, Larry, Dirty Mary met their end. The RR tracks are no longer in service.

I’ve went to several spots in San Francisco where scenes from Bullitt (and Dirty Harry) were filmed. It’s amazing how much the city has changed.

I’d love to go to the location where the car chase scene filmed under the elevated rail in the French Connection was filmed.

That shot is from Cisco, UT. Here’s a post that detailed the trip. Great memories!

San Francisco, Russian Hill, for the Bullitt chase scenes. Those hills are steep.

Old Joliet Prison from The Blues Brothers is still there.

I would like to see all the locations where Smokey And The Bandit was shot, I hear some places are still there but some are not.
