Where is fight club filmed

You'll find it at S. When they come out of the Clifton's, there's a scene where Ed Norton puts 'Marla' on a bus and tells her to avoid the city for a while. In the background behind them, you can see marquee of the old closed Olympic Theatre , which is located at W. When the bus pulls away, it is heading northwest up 8th Street. Many of the film's interior sets were shot at the new L.

Center Studios , located just west of the Harbor Freeway in downtown the first movie studio to be built in the downtown area since the 's. On the L. Center Studios campus is the old Unocal Building, at W. Van Ness Ave. This same church was also seen near the end the original film version of " War of the Worlds ", and in a episode of " CSI " titled " From the Grave " , where Horatio goes to confession at the church.

In one scene, Ed Norton watches as 'Marla' goes into a coin-op laundromat and steals a load of laundry. That laundromat scene was actually filmed on Melrose Avenue, at a real laundromat named " Laundryland ", located at Melrose Ave. This in the unfashionable section of Melrose, miles to the east of the trendy shopping district, and just east of the Hollywood Freeway.

Helena Bonham Carter then goes to a Vintage Clothes store nearby and sells the items she stole from the washing machines. Afterward, she and Ed Norton exchange phone numbers outside the store. That "vintage clothes" storefront it's now a florist shop is nearby on Melrose, just a block to the east of the Laundromat, at Melrose Ave. Ed Norton comes home to find fire department trucks outside his condo , and learns that his apartment atop 'Pearson Towers' has exploded and burned.

The actual apartment building used in that scene was the Promenade Towers , located at S. When that nude bar finally closed its doors for good, the makers of "Fight Club" rented the empty building, put up their own neon signs The "topless" sign in the back was part of the original bar , and shot the key fight scenes there. Not long after filming ended, the entire building was razed to the ground. The address is now nothing more than a vacant patch of bare land although you can still see the oil refinery in the background And about a block to the east is the thrift store, where she sells the clothes.

Marla agrees to exchange numbers as she's standing opposite in front of the Ukranian Culture Centre, Melrose Avenue. Look out for a glimpse of Tyler Durden in the same location, among the hotel staff on the corporate video welcoming Norton to his hotel room.

As Durden and the narrator discuss which celeb they'd like to fight Ernest Hemingway and William Shatner , in fact , they're walking northwest along West 5th Street from South Spring Street, Downtown , past the location where Colin Farrell was pinned down by a sniper in Phone Booth , and in the background you can see the Alexandria Hotel — home of John Doe in Fincher 's previous Se7en.

During filming, cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth was hospitalised after being hit on the head by a beer-bottle flung down by a disgruntled resident.
