One of my favorite 90’s movies was Demolition Man. For me, it had the right amount of sci-fi, action, and humor. I missed it in theaters, but bought the laser disc (yes) sight unseen! I’ve been to a handful of locations over the years, but thought I should get to doing a page for it finally. I still have a few spots I need to visit or redo, so stay tuned!
This first set of buildings is located at 19800 MacArthur Boulevard in Irvine.
This spot is by the water gardens at 1620 26th Street in Santa Monica.
The SAPD headquarters is located at 1 Baxter Way in Westlake Village.
The next scene was shot at 2010 Main Street in Irvine.
Back to the SAPD…
The museum exterior was located at 3345 Michelson Drive in Irvine.
The building seen in the background is at 3301 Michelson Drive. A lot of this area has been relandscaped since filming.
The San Diego Convention Center….
This was shot at the American Plaza train station near the corner of Kettner Boulevard and West Broadway in San Diego.
The Pacific Design Center is located at 8687 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.
These scenes were shot at the Los Angeles Convention Center at 1201 South Figueroa Street.
The car emerges from this building at 7310 Miramar Road in San Diego.
The often-used 2nd Street Tunnel in downtown Los Angeles…
Back to the LA Convention Center….
And finally back at the SAPD….
