C Glide Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Back to thinking it was filmed there (the interior scenes) after close examination of the exterior chase scene and how they exit the restaurant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I just updated this episode on my site including a more detailed study of the foot chase at the rear of the restaurant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 This is awesome, so many new locations found for this majorly important MV episode! I just watched the alley scene and followed along on Google Street View. It's remarkable how many details have not changed. I can't find any address for Strawberries. I can't find ANYTHING about Cockles even existing. Those double lines in the parking lot are interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I ran both names, Strawberries and Cockles and variants of them thru Sunbiz to see if those names were ever incorporated, or even licensed as a fictitious business. No luck, very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Regarding the "It's remarkable how many details have not changed." I was thinking the same thing as I studied the scene. Often doors are bricked over or new ones added, but here little except a paint job has occurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny-Burnett Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Great location updates to this ep, C Glide, and I'd always wondered about the location of the Castillo alley fight scene...thanks for your efforts.

C Glide Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 My pleasure. To me that is a special scene, very important to Castillo's character identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Sad news, folks. Since last year when we discussed the alley scene at the end of Golden Triangle Part 1, there have been some changes. The good news: last year Google Street View did not quite reach the entire alleyway to the back door of the restaurant. Now it does go all the way and everything looks almost exactly as it looked 30 years ago. The bad news: I recently visited this location (I believe I am the first person to go ever set foot on this hallowed ground) and things have been remodeled and many important details have changed. Looking at the back door of the restaurant where they exit into the alley: 1. Screen capture from the DVD 2. Google Street View, hardly changed, even the little pipe that hooks around on the bottom left is still there 3. My photo, now a single door, and this might not even be the same doorway Edited June 29, 2017 by airtommy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 In the same part of the alley, the assassin and Castillo both run past a storage area surrounded by a chain-link fence. That fence can be seen in Google Street View but is now enclosed with walls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 And the fight scene happens next to a different storage area surrounded by chain-link fence, at the northwest corner of the alleyway. That area has also been enclosed with walls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanna Girl Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Thank you airtommy...some great information. It's a shame there are enclosed areas now since chain link fences are no longer a viable deterrent to keeping things safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found this location interesting as they only filmed in Hialeah ( as far as we know) for this episode in November 1984.

Sonny-Burnett Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Great shots of the famous alleyway Castillo/Thai assassin fight scene. One of my favorites in the entire series.
