Great find once again! Here's a couple from "Knight Sting":

It's already been established earlier in this thread that the embassy from this episode is located at 3431 Waverly Drive in Los Angeles and was used as Helios in "Chariot of Gold" and Taneka's compound in "Knight of the Rising Sun". One additional scene from "Sting" was filmed here too - where Michael gets in Carascas' limo while Vascone removes a blocked tree.

The bottom right red arrow is where the limo is, the other arrow shows the roof of the same building you see in the background of the screenshot:

Image
Image

I also found another filming location from "Sting" - "Alicia Craven-Hall's" home - 2423 Nottingham Ave in Los Angeles. This one was easy to find - note the Griffith Observatory in the background of the screenshot!

Image
Image

Image
Image

Image
Image

And I believe this is the garage where the Lynx Imperial was housed:
Image
Image

Another one crossed off the list!

I don't know where this location is, but it's been used twice - once as Cavanaugh's casino in "Knight By a Nose" and once in "Out of the Woods" as Dutton's home:

"Nose":

"Woods":

Thanks for the clue Joe; still wish someone will be able to smoke it out :roll:

In the meantime I have another place which I'm interested in: "The Woodgrove School for Young Ladies"
where Michael meets Katherine Granger in " Knight in Shining Armor"


PS: I visited your Trans-Am construction blog and I found the - day by day - job very interesting
and well done ! :good:

Thanks to a post of My_Friend_KITT on the other thread "NEW Game: Spot the Comtron Truck". I just realize that the location of ATM in "The Wrong Crowd" also appeared in "Hills of Fire". See earlier post on page 12: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11725&st=0&sk=t&sd= ... 75#p153940" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In the Hills of Fire, the location was used as Sandra Rusk's office, and a different ATM was installed. But this time, KITT hacked the bank computer and gave the homeless $5 :)

Here's another great one I found recently, this time from "Halloween Knight" - the location where Michael is almost run down by the car and the following chase/turbo boost:

The place where Michael is nearly run down (after visiting "Parkdale Cleaners") is on Hartsook St near Sepulveda Blvd in Los Angeles:

Image
Image

Image
Image

Image
Image

Image
Image

The scene then cuts to the red car swerving around a corner and down an alley, with KITT in pursuit. That scene has the red car and KITT turning right onto Otsego St from Sepulveda Blvd, and then taking the first left on Otsego down an alley:

Image
Image

Image
Image

The turbo boost through the glass truck takes place in the alley between Hartsook and Magnolia Blvd. Notice the building circled on the map below - it's the same one seen in the left side of the picture below (and also the same complex where Parkdale Cleaners is located!):
Image
Image

After the turbo, KITT stops at the intersections of the alley and Magnolia:
Image
Image

While the red getaway car takes a left out of the alley on to Magnolia and then a right back on to Sepulveda:
Image
Image

And finally, here's a map of the entire chase sequence. You can see that it doesn't make much sense in the real world! But hey, this is Knight Rider...

Found two locations -

from "Knight Sting" and "Knight of the Rising Sun":

Miner St.
San Pedro, CA

Image

From "Knight Sting" - the scene where Michael rescues Bonnie and Gaye:

Also on Miner St, just further up:

1 corresponds to the building seen two images up. 2 corresponds to the row of doors seen on the right in the picture above:

Here's one that's pretty high on my wish list, but I haven't had any luck finding it...the museum from "Chariot of Gold":

Image
Image
Image

The only clue comes in the last picture above. A sign in the background:

Image

Looks like it says "Damark Industries Inc."

Anyone?

Car turns on to Wharf St from South Seaside Ave in San Pedro, CA. Wharf St. has changed dramatically since the show, but the intersection where the car turns is still relatively the same:

That's funny you posted that, one_man...I spent a good hour today trying to find that Lowell Industries building as well. If you look at some of the clips of the hovercraft in the water, you can see land in the far off distance...that might be a clue...
