The ensuing race itself was filmed on Prairie Avenue, between 120th Street and 118th Street, just south of Imperial Highway in Hawthorne. The ‘Racer’s Edge’, the garage at which O'Conner works, is an anonymous building at 1046 North Orange Drive, just south of Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood and, no, disappointingly there’s no car on the roof. Cohen wanted to emphasise the overlooked neighbourhoods of Los Angeles and sets the world of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) in a picturesque and popular area of Echo Park, north of downtown Los Angeles. Climbing up on a causeway, Knox carjacks a pickup truck and crashes into the Road House, leading to a brutal fistfight with Dalton.

The clapboard corner market owned by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) in The Fast and the Furious, where “no one likes the tuna,” is actually Bob’s Market in Echo Park. The small bodega was constructed by George F. Colterison in 1913 and was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #215 in June 1979. Both the interior and the exterior of Bob’s were used in the filming of The Fast and the Furious, though the interior was dressed heavily for the shoot and is largely unrecognizable from its onscreen appearance.

Street Rally - Starkman Building

In reality, that building is the Hall of Administration at the former Ambassador College in Pasadena. The school was founded in 1947 by evangelical radio personality Herbert W. Armstrong. After closing in 1997, portions of the campus were purchased by Maranatha High School and Harvest Rock Church. In 2010, the remaining sections of the campus were bought by an Orange County developer who has converted the site into a large mixed-use complex, the Ambassador Mansion & Gardens. Several buildings have been torn down during the transformation and many more are set for demolition in the near future, including the Hall of Administration, which was designed by Peter J. Holdstock in 1967.

Road House (2024 film)

One morning, whilst getting ready to take their son, Jack, to school, Mia Toretto finds a package at the front door from Tokyo, to which Dom believes it's Han sending him a turbo charger for his car. You can also catch a glimpse of the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the background during the race. This towering green bridge links mainland San Pedro with Terminal Island; it has been seen in other movies, including “Charlie’s Angels” and “To Live & Die in L.A. The race itself (where Paul loses to Dom) was run on Prairie Avenue in the city of Hawthorne, a good 15 miles southwest of the Produce Market. After the successful mission with Project Aries, Dom and his crew returned to the house for a barbecue. However, before they said grace, Brian arrived in his blue Nissan Skyline to join his former crew mates.

The house itself is blurred out on Google Maps, and the yard is decorated with handfuls of very clear “Keep Out” signs. And yet, on any given afternoon, a handful of tourists are almost always taking pictures, walking by slowly and pretending not to stare. Neighbors say the looky-loos don’t really bother them, except for the minor annoyance of sidewalk clutter and the regular appearance of double-parked cars and extra traffic in an already parking-challenged area. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past twenty-plus years, the chances are you’ve seen at least one of the Fast and the Furious movies and will recognise the Fast and the Furious house that features heavily throughout the franchise.

Where was Fast & Furious 9 filmed? The House & ALL the Filming Locations: Montequinto

The huge Alameda Square complex, once warehouses for the goods terminus of the Southern Pacific Railroad, is now reborn as ROW DTLA multi-use complex. At the Road House, Dalton fends off a motorcycle gang working for local crime boss Ben Brandt and personally drives the injured thugs to the hospital, where he meets Ellie, a doctor who tends to his injuries. Staying in Frankie's disused houseboat, Dalton mentors the other bouncers and becomes popular with the locals.

Toretto's House,the Echo Park home of Dominic and his sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster) appears in several of the Fast and Furious movies. Both the interior and the exterior of the two-story structure were utilized in the films, most notably in the first installment. For the shoot, director Rob Cohen had the owner paint the 1906 dwelling white so that the gang’s bright cars would stand out against it. The residence’s detached garage, where Dom keeps his 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, was demolished at some point after the filming of The Fast and the Furious and had to be rebuilt for Fast & Furious (2009). Though the Toretto's house meets its untimely demise in Furious 7 when it’s blown up by Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), in real life it is still standing and looks much the same as it did onscreen. At the beginning of The Fast and the Furious, Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) tests out his racing skills while driving his iconic neon green Mitsubishi Eclipse in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium during the first Fast and Furious race.

It is also in the neighborhood that he finds the house of Dominic Toretto, the main character played on screen by Vin Diesel. If the building lends itself perfectly to the director’s ambitions, he deems it useful to make a few changes. Wishing to locate his plot in Los Angeles, he chose the Echo Park neighborhood because of its hilly streets. The ‘Race Wars’ rally was filmed at San Bernardino International Airport, East Third Street at Del Rosa Drive, San Bernardino.

In one of the movie’s most picturesque scenes, the gang stands against a guardrail overlooking the Downtown L.A. Skyline and discusses how to take down Jakande (Djimon Hounsou) on their own turf. That guardrail can be found in the southern portion of the stadium’s parking lot. “A lot of the bonding took place at that house,” Rob Cohen, the director of the original installment, The Fast and the Furious (2001), tells Yahoo Movies. “It’s rare to do a movie and actually return to the authentic and original location,” Diesel observes in a behind-the-scenes video for Furious 7.

This area is pretty much deserted and is pretty close to the shipping port docks. The filming area is in and around the of Henry Ford Avenue, Alameda Street, Pacific Coast Highway and the Terminal Island (103) Freeway. You’ll notice that in the scene, you can see the Texaco refinery in the background. After Mia tells Little Brian to hide while she fought off the soldiers, she was overwhelmed until Jakob arrives and helps her fight off the other agents.

He prepares to finish off Dalton with a shard of wood, but Dalton gains the upper hand and repeatedly stabs Knox into submission, leaving him for dead. Ellwood’s design for the single-family house was commissioned by couple Martin and Eva Zimmerman in 1949 and was featured in Progressive Architecture magazine shortly after, according to the Eichler Network, which covers mid-century California homes. In 2004, the house changed hands to its last owners, couple Sam and Hilda Newman-Rolfe. After Mia tells Brian to hide while she fights off the agents, she was overwhelmed until Jakob arrives and helps her take out the other agents.

All of the tents and fixtures are gone and even some of the buildings have been torn down. The huge desert “Race Wars” rally was held way out at the San Bernardino International Airport  aka Norton A.F.B. (which the director says is mostly used by the fire department today. He also says it was 120 degrees that day). 3rd Street & Del Rosa Drive, in San Bernardino, which is about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. Unlike some of the other locations, this one is good for families and it overlooks the Pacific ocean.

Dalton decides to leave town but discovers that Charlie and Stephen are in the hospital after Brandt's men burned down their bookstore. Enraged, Dalton kills one of the thugs responsible and captures a sheriff's deputy making a large delivery of Brandt's illicit cash, framing the deputy for the murder and taking the money. The sheriff soon informs Dalton that Brandt has kidnapped Ellie and will exchange her for the money. Ellwood, born as Jon Nelson Burke in Texas in 1922, was an informally trained but influential Los Angeles–based architect whose career spanned the early 1950s through the mid-1970s, according to a biography by Architectuul. He gained fame through his eye-catching designs and quirky personality, bolstered by his ambitions in acting, modeling, and self-promotion. He designed several homes in Los Angeles, and the destruction of one of the few that remain is part of the considerable backlash.
