Note that the poster on the office of Lt Lenina Huxley ( Sandra Bullock) wall is for Lethal Weapon III, another Silver production.ĭemolition Man film location: Sandra Bullock’s futuristic apartment block: Pacific Design Center, 8687 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood, Los Angeles The giant spiral prison set is based on Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum in New York – producer Joel Silver is a devotee of the architect and lives in a landmark Wright house in Los Angeles. ‘San Angeles’, the Santa Barbara-Los Angeles-San Diego Metroplex, is a conflation of all three cities. Nigel Hawthorne (who was lobbying to recreate his stage role in The Madness of King George on screen), establishes his Hollywood cred as the regulation British villain. Los Angeles, and its surrounds, provide the location for the crime-free, politically-correct 21st century West Coast sprawl of ‘San Angeles’, where deep-frozen rogue cop John Spartan ( Sylvester Stallone) is thawed out to combat psycho-criminal Simon Phoenix ( Wesley Snipes).
