The locker room used in the film has been locked away from the public eye and almost all visitors for so long that it
remains virtually unchanged from the way it appeared in the film. Even a records chart seen in the background of one
scene still hangs in the locker room and unbelievably still reads "Springwood Sports".
One of the names that appears on the chart is that of Ronny Grady, one of the main characters in the film.
Kaiser Steel Mill - 1 Steel Way Fontana, Ca. 92335
NOTE: With the exception of the water tower, the portion of the mill where the movie was filmed at was demolished in the mid 90's
and the California Speedway now stands in it's place. However, part of the original mill is still in operation just south of the Speedway.
The Outworld scenes for Mortal Kombat as well as the ending of Terminator 2: Judgment Day were also filmed at the Kaiser Steel Mill.
Final bus stop - N. June St. and Oakwood Ave. Los Angeles, Ca. 90004
Was that the same high school used for the exterior shots in Dream Master when Sheila pulls up on her scooter?
ReplyDeleteLate reply, yes and it's also the same one from the karate kid (1984)
Deletethanks assclown for the late response. We all know you just made that up!
DeleteNo, Venice High School at 13000 Venice Blvd. Los Angeles, Ca. 90066 was used for ANOES4:The Dream Master.
ReplyDeleteAny idea where Lisa's house was filmed? Thanks!
ReplyDelete721 Madre Ave. Pasadena, Ca. 91107. Unfortunately the backyard that's featured in the movie isn't accessible to the public.
DeleteI'd like to know exactly which street it is in Palmdale that this film starts out on?
ReplyDeleteIt's actually not Palmdale at all. The bus pulls off of N. Orange Grove Ave. and onto De Longpre Ave. in Los Angeles, Ca. Robert Patterson at www.set-jetter.com tracked down this location.
DeleteOkay thank you. :-)
DeleteI always find these California schools that we see in movies with their outdoor lockers interesting. I've personally never seen a school like that in real life, even in states with decent climate. I was just watching this movie the other night and when the Bus tore off into the empty field I thought "I bet that's all been developed over now", and I was mostly right. It's not empty anymore but not as cluttered with Starbucks and apartment buildings as I'd figured.
ReplyDeleteWe had outside lockers for the longest time until some of my classmates lit some on fire then they were taken away Woodlake High.
ReplyDeletelocations has changed over time since 1985
ReplyDeleteDo you know where the final scenes of the movie were shot? Where Lisa confronts Freddy. Is it inside the Kaiser Steel? Is the Lincoln Heights Jail? Thanks! And good job!
ReplyDeleteYes that was the old Kaiser steel mill which was demolished in 1995. Shame too, I would have LOVED to explore that place.
DeleteThe scene where the bus runs into the desert and it gets dark before the ground starts to break off, looks like Joshua Tree national park.
ReplyDeleteWas only the facade of the house used in the film?
