In the crime-free, politically-correct 21st century
West Coast sprawl of ëSan Angelesí, deep-frozen rogue
cop John Spartan (Sylvester
Stallone) is thawed out to combat psycho-criminal
Simon Phoenix (Wesley
Snipes).
Nigel Hawthorne
(who was lobbying to recreate his stage role in The
Madness of King George), establishes his Hollywood
cred as the regulation British villain. ëSan Angelesí,
the Santa Barbara-Los Angeles-San Diego Metroplex, is
a conflation of all three cities.
The giant spiral prison set is based on Frank Lloyd
Wrightís Guggenheim Museum in New York – producer
Joel Silver is a devotee of the architect and lives
in a landmark Wright house in LA. The poster on Bullockís
office wall is for Lethal Weapon
III, another Silver production.
Sandra Bullockís futuristic apartment block can be found
in the inner court of the Pacific
Design Center, 8687 Melrose Avenue in West
Hollywood.
The ëSan Angeles Police Department HQí, out of which
Bullock works, is the Prudential
Building, Thousand Oaks Boulevard, north
of Highway 101, Westlake Village
in the San Fernando Valley.
More futuristic locations were found at the New
LA Convention Center, 1202 South Figueroa Street
between Pico Boulevard and 11th Street, downtown LA;
the Museum of Contemporary
Art, 250 South Grand Avenue, downtown LA;
Sawpit Dam, Monrovia
Mountain Park, North Canyon Boulevard, north
of Monrovia, east of LA; and the San
Diego Convention Center; and
Park Place Office Campus, 3345 Michelson Drive
and the Koll Center, 18301
Von Karman, both in Irvine.
