A movie funnier than it has any right to be, mostly due the chemistry of the leads, I first visited some Fired Up! locations over 15 years ago. An uber-fan urged me to expand and revisit spots, which I did in 2026!
This house is at 900 South Madison Avenue in Pasadena, California. First shots below in 2010:
Updated shots in 2026:
A reader requested the location where they stop the car to jump the fence. This is at 1401 Wayne Avenue in South Pasadena.
This was shot at John Burroughs High School at 1920 West Clark Avenue in Burbank, California.
I wasn’t able to visit the football field, but found some shots online for reference. This scene was shot at Calabasas High School at 22855 Mulholland Highway in Calabasas, California.
I own some wardrobe from this scene!
Down to South Pasadena for this scene in front of the train stop near Meridian Iron Works Museum at 913 Meridian Avenue in South Pasadena, California. This street is beset known for Halloween and Step Brothers. The first set of photos were taken in 2010:
The next set of photos were taken in 2026. Lots of changes including the tree being taken down and a different paint scheme on the museum in the background.
Poppy’s house is located at 2036 Oak Street in South Pasadena, California.
I wasn’t able to visit the pool but found reference photos online. It is located at Polytechnic High School at 1600 Atlantic Avenue in Long Beach, California.
This was shot at the corner of El Centro Street and Diamond Avenue in South Pasadena, California.
The bus turns from Meridian Avenue onto Mission Street in South Pasadena, California.
The Burger King scene was shot at 5450 Canoga Avenue in Woodland Hills, California. It has changed quite a bit since filming, so I found this old Google Streetview shot for reference.
The cheerleader camp was shot in two locations: the Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia, California and Occidental College in Eagle Rock, California. (The college campus is used quite a bit, but it is in one of my favorites, Kicking And Screaming.) I’ll do my best to provide the screenshots in scene order, so will indicate the location for each.
The bus enters in the Arboretum.
The next scene is at Occidental.
Their dorm is actually the Peacock Cafe at the Arboretum.
Many scenes take place at fountain in the Arboretum.
