General Questions

• The writers had characters gripe about the decay of the Hollywood Blvd area; so it had already gone downhill by 1983, but how much worse did it get? During my 2006 visit I noticed a lot of locked gates and window gratings that weren't seen in Angel twenty three years earlier; perhaps it did get a lot worse. Did this sort of urban decay happen slowly or were there events that pushed things this way? Did the earthquake of 1994 have any impact on such things?
• Angel doesn't have many exploitative scenes, which I believe was a good thing for this movie. I expect it would have been an entirely different movie had it been filmed in the 70's instead of the 80's. Was keeping it toned down a deliberate decision?
• Was much more footage shot than what we see in the movie? Was there a "let's claim the body from the morgue" sequence written and/or shot?
• In real life the apartment building was torn down in or before 1988, but when exactly? In one scene in Avenging Angel Angel stares wistfully at an empty lot. It's not the correct location but I have the feeling that the scene was meant to imply that the apartment building was gone; perhaps in 1984 reality the building was still standing, so they couldn't film such a scene there?
• When did Boardner's move its sign from the building's southernmost arch to the next arch? The sign is seen edge-on in Angel during some of the scenes in the alley but is no longer visible from that angle in real life because of the move.
• What's the name of the movie that the killer watches in the Cave Theatre? Update: This has been answered!

Location Questions

Most of the filming locations are known. Here are the more important unknown locations.

			Where were the exteriours of the police station shot?
			Where is Kit's place located and what is it in real life? A warehouse somewhere or just a set?
			Where is Miss Allen's office?
	The view out of a window in the killer's apartment. Is it real or a set? If real, where is it?

Music Questions

	Something Sweet was performed by a band called The Allies. Is that the same Allies that recorded Emma Peel? Both songs are from the same era.
	In a few scenes Donna Wilkes wears two buttons on her school outfit. The top one looks like it reads The Equalizers, which could be an early 80's band. Does anyone know anything about it?
