Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1981. The same place, some 35 years later. One of the picturesque alleys of the medina of Kairouan, Tunisia. The producers chose this city because it was impossible to find a non-tourist spot in real Cairo. Before anyone asked, it was impossible for me to find an enough screen-accurate cat around.

Not a film but the ‘Emergency’ TV Series. The exterior shots were all done at Station 127 in Carson, CA (2049 E 223rd St). The bottom shot was just taken on June 19, 2024 and the upper shot is stock footage from the TV series in the mid-70’s. This is still a working station directly across from a refinery as seen in the show. If the fire fighters aren’t busy, they are happy to show you around. It is laid out exactly as seen in the show. If you want to see the original Squad 51, the Crown and Stutz Engine 51 and the yellow Chevy ambulance they used in the show, they are on display at the LAFD Museum just east of here in Bellflower.
