Thanks Tony!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are great! I'm extremely jealous you get to visit all those Los Angeles locations in person!
I just watched Hit and Run, and I saw some quick shots in the movie of places I was sure I recognized.
ReplyDeleteSure enough, turns out the location was Ed & Vern's Rock Store, up near Malibu Canyon..a place I have parked my Harley a couple of times :)
Because of The Location Scout, I was able to verify this.
Great work guys!
Thank you much.
UPDATE: Also featured in the horror movie Grave Secrets (aka Secret Screams) (1989).
ReplyDeleteI Want to confess about movie The Sweetest Thing (2002) One of my favorite chick flicks! Super funny from start to finish.
