It does look like the hills are lining up correctly in the back of that one.
Sue, it might require your field trip to confirm the location of the beach house. Thanks in advance

During the search of "beach house" in The Scent of Roese,
I found Kurt Rolands' 'white house' where they tested the remove-control plane.

It looks like a match good job
It doesn't look like there will be any way in to photograph that one.

I think you guys might have found it! Sue - field trip!
Here's another one, from "Knightmares" - in the episode, Michael goes to "Caines" to see where his wallet was purchased. The "Encino Camera" and phone number banner gave this one away - it's still there today!
Location:
15928 Ventura Blvd
Encino, CA

Just a piece of trivia. The store, OPTIQUE BOUTIQUE that's visible in the photos from the original series, is where Elvis Presley bought those really cool sunglasses that are so much identified with him. The owner that created those sunglasses died several months ago.

Here is the dam in Knightmares. It would have been cool to drive SHADO around down there. I know they still film car commercials and things there, but they locked the gate to the dam road.
Google Maps - Sepulveda Dam
That ladder isn't part of the dam, it's a little tricky to get over it without it.
Where is that dam ladder!
Obviously this is the side they film commercials on cause it doesn't have any dam graffiti.
Yea she's done with the dam jokes.

Sue, splendid
(Devon used to say that)! Especially the last pair of photos, 100% match!
I bet you also tried to find the 'dam door' and it's not there. Here is the dam analysis.
Had the dam door existed, and Michael did open it, he would have fallen into the channel behind the wall!
Until a few hours ago, I still believe the dam door is part of the dam. Sorry to bust this dam mystery 25 years later!

In the follow dam photos, you can see the edge of the dam door appeared in the 'after' shot.
The extent of the dam mock-up was also limitted, you can see the edge on the right.
What a 'good' dam job (e.g. the rusty paint) the KR filming crew did back in the 80's.
Today, KR-2008 uses mostly CGI instead of physical sets.

BTW, the 'runoff' pipe where Cara was trapped in was also a mock-up next to the dam tower.

Now, yet another location in "Knightmares".
Approx. address: 10543 Woodbridge St., N Hollywood, CA 91602

In the link, you can see a guy hide behind the trash dumpster,
but he did not appear in the KR scene (see the red circle below).
What a opportunity to be present at the location when the filming took place!

Nice work one-man! We sure do some fine dam investigating.
Sadly another dam gate kept me from getting up on the dam tower.

Oooh that's a good one. ...Ah so many locations so little time.
If you guys could paste in the links from google maps like so.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=3 ... 9&t=h&z=19
It would help me out a bunch in finding the locations by car.

Here's a diagram about the turboboost in the dam in Knightmares to break the pipe. KITT must've been doing 180 in the air & have very long fly in order to land to where he landed LOL

Here's the best street view shots I could find of the "Knightmares" alley jump:
Sue - if you go, please try to head down the alley that Michael is running and shooting at KITT to get photos of that as well! You may even be able to follow KITT's path back the alley from where he turns onto that street!

Don't even ask me how I spotted this!
From "Merchants of Death" - check out the background of this driving scene - you can spot Barris' shop! The same one he's still in today!
And right next door to "A":
Michael is actually driving on Lankershim Blvd with Riverside Drive (where Barris' shop is located) in the background.
Cool!

Next location - the infamous (to me, at least) "horseshoe" building, seen in "Merchants of Death" and "Knight of a Thousand Devils":
"Merchants":
"1000 Devils":
Location is:
17514 Sierra Hwy
Canyon Country, CA
Next is Claudia Torrell's baja car warehouse:
13008 Pierce St.
Pacoima, CA (Part of Whitman Airport, I believe)
The hole where Michael was thrown into in this episode is a place called "Falls Lake" in or near Universal Studios. Can anyone find it? And De Lorca's estate? We already found Becker's estate earlier in this thread.

I think I found another one last night...one of KITT's famous "driving scenes" in the city:
S. Flower St heading towards First St
Los Angeles, CA
Unfortunately, Google Street View doesn't go on that part of South Flower so this is the best I can do:
Here are buildings 1 and 2 from a different angle:
Okay, lunch break is over!

Just realize part of the following photo matches the rock climbing scene in the episode.
here is a question, was that really David Hasselhoff or some stunt man?

Can anyone find locations from the KARR episodes?
The ally where the KARR stopped for the night "I have no eggs, perhaps you can direct me to a chicken" from TDR, or the clothing shop from KvK?

Here's one for you, VegasMike:
KARR turbo boosting over KITT near the end of "Trust Doesn't Rust".
Location:
57 Berth (Port of Los Angeles)
San Pedro, CA
The two buildings seen in the above two pics are the buildings on the left side and right side of the aerial shot below, respectively:
Also of note, this is nearly the same location as the ending turbo boost in "The Final Verdict"!

Here's a shot of Caesars. This is the valet drop off, where Michael pulled up in KI2T in the episode Goliath. He was dressed as Garth.
Joe, screen shot please.
