Fun Facts

Wilcox Ave. sign above Larry's head

• During the opening chase, the blue MG turns into small alley, which is located here, on the west side of Ivar. Ave. View in Google Maps
• After the opening credits, when we see a close-up of Ponch and Jon, they are passing Wilcox Ave. (as they are headed south on Cahuenga Blvd.) and the sign passes above Larry's head.
• Ponch and Jon meet Getraer at an Arby's. This appears to be the Arby's at Sunset Blvd. and Tamarind Ave., which still appears to have the old style "hat" sign. View in Google Maps

Mistakes

• When the bank robber pursuit passes Ponch and Jon, they turn from Vine St. to Yucca St. There is one person standing on the corner. After they go around the corner, there are 4 or more people visible on the same corner. The chase then jumps to the intersection of Selma Ave. and Ivar Ave.

Wig store stunt ramp

• When the pink car goes up the curb toward the wig shop window, the camera angle abruptly changes and a small ramp becomes clearly visible at the curb.
