Filming Locations

The majority of the film was shot on what was then a vacant lot on the northeast corner of Motor Avenue and National Blvd in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles. Towards the end of the film, when the Gang's train jumps the tracks and starts on a wild ride through town, we first see the train enter the National Blvd side of 3300 Motor Avenue. The train then exits the Motor Avenue side of 3300 Motor Avenue. We cut to the train running into a delivery man's cart in front of 9426 West Washington Blvd in Culver City, California. Next, the runaway train, still heading west on West Washington Blvd passes the under construction Culver Hotel.
