Ĭan you help? Particularly with The club etc.? Please Update Us He also mentions in the film that he lived at D street just under the bridge from Amanda's which is true. It is one of several successful teen dramas written by John Hughes in the 1980s.
Keith Nelsons residence in the movie is located at 1441 D street, Wilminton, about a 5 min walk from Amanda's house and probably the same from Watts house. Some Kind of Wonderful is a 1987 American romantic drama film directed by Howard Deutch and starring Eric Stoltz, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Lea Thompson. The scene in the mall where the sister is hanging with her friends and overhears Marty discussing how he's going beat up Stolz at the party was filmed at Fred Segal in Santa Monica Ca. Meanwhile, Keiths best friend, tomboy Watts, realizes she has. It is no longer a gas station and is now a mechanic shop. When Keith goes out with Amanda, the girl of his dreams, Amandas ex-boyfriend plans to get back at Keith. Just a few blocks over from the intersection of Robertson and Pico. The gas station scenes were filmed in Beverly Hills/West L.A. The Hollywood Bowl was used for the scene during the date where they have their serious talk about how they were using one another. The studio even had a private showing of the movie for the students at the Warran Grand. Most of the extras were students at the time. They filmed there in 1986 over summer break. The High school shots were filmed at San Pedro High School, 1001 W. The restaurant they visit for the date was: L' Hermitage (now Koi Restaurant: 730 No. The mall used was 'The Brickwalk', 717 Deep Valley Dr., Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA. So - since Keith and Amanda clearly stand in front of Hardy's house (it can be seen behind them) the shots of Watts and the shots of Keith and Amanda were made in totally different places! Īnd funny: The distance between Hardy's house (516 South Hudson Avenue) and the white house (649 South Hudson Avenue) is just as long as Watts really could have walked in one minute (compare Google maps). And the same white house is visible one minute before: When Watts says 'The keys are in the car' and walks away from Keith and Amanda, the house can be seen in the background. Due to that, Keith and Watts at the end walk together south (towards Wilshire Boulevard, away from Hardy Jens house and their car). I think the camera must have been positioned around 643 South Hudson Avenue, pointed to the south. This house is 649 South Hudson Avenue, Hancock Park, CA. In the final scene of the film when Keith and Watts kiss, a white house is visible behind Watts on the right. Hardy Jens house is located in the Hancock Park section of Los Angeles, more specifically: 516 Hudson Ave. Watt's house was located at 1443 Emden St., Wilmington, CA.
Google MapĪmanda's house was filmed right around the corner at 1319 West E St., Wilmington, CA These scenes were actually shot at a private residence, located in Wilmington, S.
