Demi
Moore is revealed to be a villainess when
she shoots all three of the
Angels on top of this observatory. Fortunately, they survive (due to body
armor) but are drenched by sprinklers as they walk across the lawn.
Then, as they're heading for their car, their car explodes!
Those
scenes were shot at the Griffith Park Observatory,
located atop
a peak in Griffith Park, at 2800 East Observatory
Road.
Madison
Lee's (Demi Moore's)
lair, was actually the inside of L.A.'s
Union Station,
located at 800 N. Alameda Street,
in downtown Los Angeles.
They used the train station's former ticket area and turned it into the
huge, glitzy space
you see in the film. Union Station, built in 1939, has been seen in dozens
of movies,
including 2000's "Pearl Harbor" and the movie titled "Union
Station".
Above,
we see Hollywood Boulevard,
looking east from Orange Drive,
with the El Capitan Theatre
to the right, and Grauman's Chinese Theatre
to the left.
Below,
we see our villain, Seamus O'Grady, standing on the
star of Fred Astaire on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame. Fred's real star is actually
located just a
block east of Grauman's, at 6756 Hollywood
Blvd.
As
part of this scavenger hunt, the crooks are told to "find a man with
a map".
This scene (where they get the map) was shot in the lobby of the Guinness World of Records Museum at
6764 Hollywood Blvd.
in Hollywood.
Just
a few blocks to the east on Hollywood Blvd., the scavenger hunt
continues, as the O'Grady gang enters a restaurant, give a suitcase to
a
man in a booth, and get a matchbook in return.
That
restaurant is Musso & Frank Grill,
the oldest restaurant in Hollywood
(since 1919), located at 6667 Hollywood
Boulevard.
