Xanadu Filming Locations

Featured Movie Location: Xanadu
Wanna see the real life filming location used for Xanadu in the movie? These scenes were actually shot at Pan Pacific Auditorium - [Now destroyed], located in Hollywood, S. California. [Google Map]


On Location

Key scenes of the film were filmed at locally-revered LA landmarks such as Paradise Park (the park scene where Kira first "bumps" into Sunny), the Main Street district in Santa Monica (the van riding scene), Malibu Pier in Malibu and Venice Beach.

The outside sequence right before the animated section was shot at the Hollywood Bowl. [Thanks to Mike Martin]

The mural location (the mural is not there, it was added by special effects) was, in fact, at the end of Dudley Avenue at Venice Beach Boardwalk.

The Park where Sonny and Kira forst meet at the beginning of the movie is Palisades Park, Ocean Blvd, Santa Monica, CA

The scene where Gene Kelley is taken to the "franchised Glitz emporium" was filmed at the now-defunct Fiorruci store on Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills. It was formerly a movie theater, and afterwards a bank before being razed to make way for the Montage Hotel and Spa in 2004. [Thanks to Tom]

Can you help? Do you know any of the S. California (or any other) filming locations used for Xanadu? [Please send them in]
