  1. According to the 80s movie rewind, the dugout used in the "Stacey" scene was the Frankin Fields across the way from Birmingham High School in Van Nuys.

    1. There seems to be some confusion as to where the Point is located. IMDB and the special feature on the DVD says it was in the Encino Little League fields. However, I've visited the location on Oxnard (baseball field #4)and even though some things have changed the dugout certainly looks like it could be 34 years old. Any thoughts?

    2. FYI, there are two sets of baseball fields in Encino. I grew up there and I'm pretty sure that it's the one on Hayvenhurst Ave next to the 101 fwy.

    1. That looks pretty much like the one in the film. Is that at the little league on Oxnard or the one on Hayvenhurst?

  3. I don't know exactly where Jeff Spicoli wrecked the car but the scene started (where he says "people on ludes should not drive" started at 6650 Van Nuys Blvd in Van Nuys. Enter it into Google Maps and click on street view to see what that area looks like today, then click on "user photos" to see screenshots of that area from the movie.

  5. Check out Mike Damone's Apartment on google street view. Now if that isn't a depressing eyesore of a residence, with its countless power lines, I don't know what is.

  6. I confirmed the bowling alley and abortion clinic locations using a 1987 reverse directory http://rescarta.lapl.org/ResCarta-Web/jsp/RcWebImageViewer.jsp?doc_id=026bc4f2-52f9-4cbf-b1e4-12291b1cd6d0/LPU00000/LL000002/00000002

  8. Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital (the hospital tour scene) was torn down in 2017. A condo complex was built on the site.

  9. Looks like the convenience store at the corner of Westgate Ave. & Santa Monica Blvd. where the robbery took place at the end of the movie got torn down a few years ago. Now it's a parking lot for a Subway-Verizon mini-mall.
