- This video features the Alley used in the movie for the classic meeting scene between King Willie (Calvin Lockhart) and LAPD Lieutenant, Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover). Where this head of the Jamaican Voodoo Posse ends up losing his to the skull collecting City Hunter (Kevin Peter Hall).
I visit filming locations from some of my all-time favorite movies. Sometimes it’s more of a thrill to find the unlisted movie shot areas like this one.

Excellent - thanks for that. Apart from the King Wille alley (which I have not found yet) the most interesting place I have found was the tunnel exit where the spaceship was hidden. Its the outlet of the Belmont Tunnel - an old electric railway tunnel which comes out at 1304 West 2nd Street LA. They built an apartment block in front of the exit but if you walk up the laneway to the left of the building - the bricked up tunnel exit is clearly visible thru the fence at the back of the apartment block. I took a bunch of photos. It was really interesting to stand there looking at the exit. My next locations to visit will be the cemetery and the shoot out scene from the start of the movie - I look forward to more locations soon !!
Hollywood Dreams That is Awesome and thanks a lot for the tip! I have been to Winston Street a couple of times, go early to mid morning. I’d like to see those pics.
Winston St (the site of the opening battle scene ) does not seem the the sort of area that you feel too safe walking around in. Don't mean to be nasty, but its a bad area of downtown. Same for the location where the silver helicopter lands. Anyway, its interesting to see where it all happened. With a little bit of detective work I found Kink Willie's alley. The rock wall at the end is unmistakeable.
Will go see the cemetery next weekend
Hollywood Dreams You are correct in that assessment. I read you loud and clear, and you didn’t come off nasty at all. That’s life in downtown LA. Every time I’m in town I do my walk around the downtown area, being the movie buff that I am ha... I’m also a pretty big guy who can handle himself. Skid Row is not to be taken lightly. Proceed w caution.. In the market district as well
God I loved that scene, instant goosebumps when he said "prepare yourself!"
It's honestly one of the best, most intense sequels ever made IMO.
Abbas Khan Same here!.. And I agree with you, it’s one of the better sequels of all time. I also think it’s underrated.. Classic!
Well and truly it's up there with original for me so much suspense
RIP Calvin Lockhart. I always loved that scene.
Incredible to see the location of one of my most favorite scenes from Predator 2
Revenant VTX I’m glad you enjoyed it! It is a great scene.. It took me a little while to find it. I recently found two other locations from this movie! I will get them up later this year..
Just saw Predator 2 again. Love how they shot the alley scene. Still looks kinda gritty but looks awesome in the movie.
Agreed, very well shot scene. I wanted to visit this place for a long time. It was cool to finally see and line up the shots.
Love that scene
Classic
When he chopped king Willie head off while he was still screaming always keeps me laughing. 😂
Lolllll
My favorite scene in the movie
Lorne Serieux Awesome. Classic!
Thanks so much for this.i love this movie so much..greetings from Australia 👍
Tony tone My pleasure Australia! Likewise.. I’m doing a six part tour of the whole movie. I already posted 4 parts if interested. You can find the Predator 2 tour playlist on my channel. Enjoy and Thank you.
You can't see the eyes of the demon till him come calling... Selah
So Great
Truly dread! Great work.
Voodoo Magic Thanks a lot! Truly and Greatly Appreciated.
Respect the classic
riyaz shaik Indeed
Bro that's sick I had to check you out great content..
West Coast Graffiti Really appreciate that bud!
Brilliant work ! Congratulations !
Thanks a lot!!
So nice to see the exact location of that very well done movie scene of King Willie..many thanks for this video.
When watching this movie, I initially thought that the entire scene was done on a movie set specially designed and erected for that scene...but you cleared my doubt by making this video from ground zero 👍👌👏.
My fav lines of King Willey
"....There's no stopping what can't be stopped, No killing what can't be killed......"

☺
My pleasure.. This movie is such an underrated classic and this scene is legendary. Thanks a lot!
great job
monteverdi79 Thanks a lot. I’m coincidentally uploading Part 1 of the Predator 2 location tour tomorrow morning.
This is dread, man. Truuuly, dread!
One of the best scenes from Predator 2.
Great scene. 👍
Peter Johnson Agreed! I also recently uploaded Part 1 of what will become a Predator 2 Filming Location Tour. Here’s the link if you haven’t seen it. ua-cam.com/video/hZnMK3ERaIk/v-deo.html
That is a cool alley. I wouldn’t want to be there at night though. Predator or not.
Haha I hear ya... I tried going at night but there was a squad car blocking it off. If you’d like to see it in better light, I recently posted a new Predator 2 filming location video. It includes a revisit to the alley.
Nice video thanks
Lovely! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! Thank you!
Mistah Police man!
GlassOfWater87 Tell me why Babylon .. Is this a scene favorite of yours? Gotta love it. Haha
Awesome
I must say,It looks even better.
Thanks man
Thank you!
Hi i am new to your Channel.I came over to show you Love.Nice to meet you.Hello from Ireland See you in the next Stream
Michael Dunne Thanks a lot! Yes, I look forward to it.
Awesome! Next you should find the exact subway tunnel they used in the film! Or was that a set?
Sonny Bryan Glad you enjoyed it! ..
Funny you say that, it’s the only place I’m not completely sure about but I think it’s a mix of both: set and location. I found a couple of good locations featured in this movie and I’ll be resuming with part 2 of the tour in October! Thanks for the comment!
Great work finding the King Willie alley - I would love to check it out - what is the actual address of the alley ? thanks
@@NickP could you please send me a location address as well? I'd like to view it on google map. Bonavertura@o2.pl
Hollywood Dreams Are you still interested in visiting this location? It’s 221 W 8th Street, Downtown LA. I would just appreciate being credited w finding it, if you were to make a publication of your own. Anyhow, thanks again and enjoy.
monteverdi79 Hi, I will be posting more filming location videos to Predator and more. The address is 221 W 8th Street, Downtown LA. I’d just appreciate a credit if you were to visit and post, thanks. All the best and enjoy.
Hollywood Dreams I want him to find the tree from Predator 1 when billy sense the predator and is spooked looking at the tree
Adriel Omar Díaz Too funny but I’m really going to do that one day! Also, stay tuned, I’m releasing the rest of the Predator 2 Filming Locations starting next week!
Wow good one there. Good movie too. What happened too the good movies lately
Explore With The Terry Allan Channel Thanks bud! Agreed, very underrated flick, especially for a sequel. Studio Executives keep rushing crap movies through the mill. Also these new filmmakers just don’t have the right stuff. Poor directing and Producing all over. Actors running the sets. It’s become a bit of a joke. Their techniques are weak. Hate to knock the whole scene but it’s the truth. Look at the low budget movies real talent pumped out years ago for paramount. Look at the blockbusters from Fox and Universal. What now? It 2 lmao.
@@NickP its like they're running out of ideas and relying on too much special effects instead of story telling. I love martial arts movies and even those now are terrible. Ill take bruce lee or don the dragon wilson over all the new crap today
Explore With The Terry Allan Channel So true. It’s really having negative EFFECT on the art!
Kinda sucks the red part of the building replaced the old. I wonder if people that are around there know the importance of that location. My favorite scene in Pred 2 is when City is walking towards King Willie.
JungleHunter Predator I hear ya bud. Some of the buildings are original. Being a history guy, I appreciate that as well. It was as much of a thrill as it was creepy to visit this location lol. I’m sure king Willie wasn’t the only dead body found in this alley over the years.
@@NickP Probably not. Very cool, though! I think the most nostalgic thing was the puddles. When city hunter jumped down and started splashing through the water and decloaked... man, what a scene!
Mcoractual Customs Awesome! I like the shot where Glover walks under the fire escape. All good👍🏻👍🏻 And thanks a lot!
For sure! Yes, that whole scene is my favorite. It's totally badass and I
just wish we saw his fight with King WIlly but I understand why we
didn't. Plus it was most likely over pretty fast lol. Have a good one
AhabPredator! In case I forgot to tell you this is Lisker88
I love it Lol
Wow.
T 800 Glad you enjoyed it👍🏻 I’ll be doing Terminator in the future as well.
Prepaaaareeeee... yoursalf !
Classic!
Selah!
How did you find it?
I found it by matching up the fire escapes, walls, windows and other details. I first knew it had to be down the alley from the building on the corner, across the street with the same markings and windows. So, google maps helped out too. If interested, I have an updated video for this alley as well. I’m doing the full movie tour in 6 parts, 6 separate videos
VisualiseTheFun Here’s the link to the updated video w more footage and explanation. ua-cam.com/video/E9uhCnqdErA/v-deo.html
Always sorta wondered why the Predator actually killed King Willie in this scene. I guess because he was giving Harrigan half ass info on the Predator?
John Spartan Good point.. The way I see it is he took out the new king of streets after working his way up through the lower ranks and Harrigan became his ultimate prey. He was also kind of toying around his target. Anyhow, it’s how I read into it.
@@NickP Ahhh yes🤔. That's a good way to see it. I guess he would also still be a "high valued" target to the Predator. Being the head of a drug cartel and all🤷♂️. Never thought of that for some reason😬
John Spartan It is kind of random. Let’s face it, it also adds production value haha. This movie is a good time overall, not to mention underrated.
I think he (the predator) took out King Willie cause he was one of the few that was able to sense his presence without any technology...So if Willey had that ability, the predator could become the prey (hunted).
@@NickP Willie gets done telling Harrigan "dares no Killin what can't be killed" then he foolishly whips out the cane sword, challenging the Predator.
He might not have died
Unpopular comment but I think the concrete jungle of LA was more scary than the jungle and the music drums by alan silvestri he perfected the predator theme in this one it really made u feel intense and full of dreadd lol Predator 2 was more gory and scarier than P1 altought Predator had more daytime scenes with the Predator and we never gotten those types of cool scenes back
Adriel Omar Díaz I think you make a good point. In my opinion this movie is well constructed with good characters and a lot of fun. They don’t make them like the use to.... As for the original Predator, that movie is a sci-fi horror master piece. You can make the argument. Personally I give the original the edge but I appreciate them both, pretty much the same!
Adriel Omar Díaz and they were forced to make more cuts to P2. Especially for Keyes and The Scorpio’s death scenes.
Le top
I ve just checked the location on Google Maps. Aparantly the alley is closed, i ve just considered going to L.A on May and taking pictures there.
They might have recently closed it off on the other end.
Where in downtown LA ? Is the alley
The address is 221 W 8th Street, Downtown LA. This is the location address to how can enter (the same way the Voodoo Posse entered and exited the alley).
Holy fuck! You have no idea how much this means to me!
I have an updated version in a series playlist on Pred 2. Enjoy!
Magnifique. Ou est-ce ?
Merci beaucoup... Downtown Los Angeles
I looked at the map and some of the locations look exactly the same now. Just like in a movie, only some are fenced off.
I did a series for the full movie if you’d like to check it out.
His Foundation lay in the Holy Mountain, Saleh
THIS IS DREAD MAN... TRULY DREAD....
haha Thanks a lot!
One can really feel a predator there watching from somewhere in broad daylight.....truly dread....
Hey. Make sense man. This might not be the correct alley.
Nikolaos Pizanias I know for a fact, without a doubt. Match it up and check out my latest Predator 2 video for the return plus additional footage! Trust me, this is what I do.
What about the penthouse in the beginning?
I'm actually doing a 6 part series. That is in part two in my Predator 2 playlist. I found it, the interior was done on a soundstage at fox but the building is in downtown LA off Wilshire BLVD. The last 2 parts are coming soon.
@@NickP thank you so much. You do an incredible job!
@@kingtiger889 Thank you!!
I'm sorry Nick p I thought I subbed you now I did my bet sweetie ❤️
brooklyn chick Welcome! It’s all good Brooklyn.. I didn’t see this notification on my phone.. UA-cam smh lol. Thanks a lot.
@@NickP keep in touch sweetie friends forever
Damn no news papers and trash anymore
Inside the Predator ship at the end where the mortal combat between Harrigan and the Predator takes place has got to be the most atmospheric space ship in film history. It's chock full o ambience with the steam and it seems made of Earth materials like the inside of a craggy cave. The ship is deliciously grubby and irregular, not antiseptic and lifeless like a Star Trek shit space ship.
I can smell the Predator war ship, it's like the inside of a hot Jamaican beef patty
Well said
man you should go to the jungle where they filmed predator and try to find the tree were the predator was stalking them when billy spooked and senses the Predator and arnold is like what is it ? what the hell is wrong with you 😂😂😂😂
Adriel Omar Díaz One day I will! Hahaha
The crew and cast probably dont know where the hell it is
Didnt the crew find a dead body within the alley?
Yes they did... I recently posted an updated video which includes a revisit to this alley.
google maps
I love the movie but i also love how they portrayed King Willie in the movie as a tough bad gang boss and he got killed in a split second by that Predator alien without even fighting at all , kinda the same scene with Billy ( Sonny Landham ) in Predator 1 movie was kinda lamme to see him die that easy .
Anyway Predator 1&2 are the best of the franchise the rest doesn't even exist ( Predators with Adrian Brody is just a remake but badly executed it had too many clichés and stereotypes and The Predator was über sh*t it made predator having new gadgets à la James Bond which is nonsense as the charachters none of them were loveable . As for Alien vs. Predator only the first movie is watchable and is more of an hommage from both franchise whereas the second movie Requiem was a disaster as you couldn't see sh*t whats going on )
I pretty much agree with you. I think that brief moment in Predator immediately following Billy’s death is pretty cool. It’s a very tense pause of fear and impending doom. It’s also bad ass how Billy decided to have a face off with alien.
I hear what you’re saying about Predators. However, it does have some redeeming qualities. I give it a watch from time to time. Now, The Predator lol omg what in any world was that??? Has to be the worst big budget movie ever made, arguably the worst movie period.
I envoy watching AvP once in a while. Scar is pretty bad ass. It has an original story and was pretty well made. What I don’t like is how easily two blooded yautjas were taken out by a single xenomorph. Further more, they look fake, like they were on steroids or something. Cheaply made wardrobe.
AvP2 is a real shame. It has a great idea with Wolf, the ultimate Predator. However, the setting, to the characters, to the story, to the lighting lol all sub par.
Part 1 and 2 are good movies, especially the original.
