That's also where Kojak filmed there early years. Later, IIRC they came to NYC to do more location shooting.I believe the Sting was shot on New York Street also (doubling for Chicago), utilizing a removable elevated train section that was in the middle of New York Street when I was on the tour. When I did the Universal tour in 1980 (many moons ago), the tour guide also told us that because of the many exteriors needed for the epic movie "Earthquake" (1974), the New York Street was also put to use as an urban area of San Francisco. Warner Bros. also has a 'New York Street", but it is less detailed...just a bunch of brownstone facades. It was used prominently in the series, "Mike Hammer" (starring Stacey Keach). When I got a tour of Warner's lot back in '86 Michael Jackson had just finished doing a music video there earlier in the day (the one where he demolishes a car in an alley). Met Clint Eastwood that day as he was walking past the commissary to go to his Buick (name on the parking spot). |
