On Location

The 1st house used in the movie in the beginning is 637 Idlewyld Drive on the Idlewyld Estate in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, right on the intercoastal. In 2005, it was still there but now in 2009 its gone! [Thanks to Brad Davis & Robert]

And the house in SW 30th Terrace, the pyramid-shaped house, which appeared just for a few seconds in the movie is still there. It appeared in the scene where Jeff, the young one, David brother went to join his playmates. And where he sprayed David with a waterpistol and shows his butt. [Thanks to Robert]

The old railroad drawbridge, in the scene with Max-the spaceship, is right in downtown Fort Lauderdale. [Thanks to Robert]

I understand a house at 2515 Arbor Drive (or Southwest 30th Terrace) in Fort Lauderdale in the Riverland area was also used but I have not been able to find anything to substantiate that. Can anyone else help with that? [Thanks to Kathy Freeman]

Misteralien adds: It's possible in the movie for the second house that they say the street name. The street name is 7th street and there is a draw bridge on sw 4th ave. Its sw 7th ave. They might have changed the streets. [Thanks to misteralien]

FPL's Port Everglades Powerplant in Ft. Lauderdale, early in the movie scene, was in the plant's switchyard. [Thanks to Michael Dart]
