best of luck and be careful.

Thanks will do

Packing the essentials you never know!

And sure thing Rock!

I've finally got through the pics and have some with caps of the film somewithout but I'm sure you will recognise them! Big pics are my recent ones.

oh, wow wonderful pictures, you can tell since the movie was made things are a little different.

I've added this location to our Locations Page and also added it to the locations Maps

Oooh, thanks for posting these for me Rock!

Here's a look down on the Playland Amusement Park from the Brainwashed episode.

Aerial location

I really like that house. Every time I watch that episode, I wish I had inherited it. Is it an actual museum or a bed and breakfast or something?

Here's a bit more information about it

Here's the St. Mary's Church from The Madonna episode.

Well, I'm glad the "Parker House" is getting put to good use as a community center. It's always nice when they preserve and restore these heritage sites.

This is the Pink Motel and Cadillac Jack cafe from the Hood episode. Both are the real names of the businesses.

Nikki's Apartment



If you watch closely, on the " Blow out" episode, you can also see Nikki's Apartment
when MacGyver stops the mail truck to fill it with cement, its just behind.

Kerrisdale Arena from the "Thin Ice" episode.

Public Restroom from "The Invisible Killer".



EDIT: The original picture is no longer available on google street view!

Great work on those locations and pictures.

I'll get them put into the locations page in the next couple of days

Interesting little aside: When you look at that toilet block in Google Maps, if you turn around there's a couple of fire rescue trucks parked across the road from those toilets, makes you wonder if there was some rescue operation going on there when the photos were taken.

Dunbar Post Office from "Blow Out"

Stong's Market also from "Blow Out" and just across the street from the Dunbar Post Office, witch is now a public library.

My pleasure! I love this kind of stuff!

Billy's Café from "Jack in the Box"

Smiley, Arkansas, also from "Jack in the Box", witch in reality is in Moncton Street, Steveston, Richmond Canada.

Those locations have been added to our locations page and I've also sorted the locations into seasons to make it easier to find locations of interest.

Just found the store used as Larson's Print Shop in the Challenge episode.

692 East Hastings Street, Vancouver.

This is how it looked in the show...



And this is what it looks like now...


Find it on the map

See it in our locations page

Amazing!!!
That wasn't an easy one for sure!
Good job!

Yeah, it took a bit of creative searching to find it.

Here's some shots of the back alley to the print shop, where MacGyver takes out the two buffoons.

This is how we see it in the episode


This is how it looks today Amazingly almost nothing's changed in 20 years.


Here's an aerial view of the area
Looks like they've planted trees in the alley where MacGyver takes out the bad guys.

How do you find all these?

Has anyone been to these locations, did you plan a trip around location hunting?

For me it's a combination of Google products, image search,maps and standard search. It can be a long drawn out process of following a trail of image results or search keywords. 2-3 hours can flick by without even noticing, strangely it always seems to happen late at night.

For example I located the Madonna church by doing an image and map search in Google for Vancouver churches.

The print shop above was the result of a combination of searching businesses in Vancouver (again in Google) with street addresses of 692 and printing stores then visiting the locations in Google maps street view.

Others have actually visited the sites and kindly allow the use of their photos on this site. Their names are listed at the bottom of the locations page

wow great job you two.

Amazing how you find all these places, without even having been there. Brilliant work!

Now I have something that struck me last time I was in Vancouver (August 2008). I stayed with friends in an apartment building that was next to the Qube aka the Phoenix Building, on West Georgia St. On my first day off I wanted to try and find the place where Mac's houseboat had been. Maybe it would be a long search, but I had all day to myself, the weather was okay, so why not. Munching my breakfast I looked out the side window (the one from which I could almost touch the Qube, and saw the marina down behind. And suddenly I recognized it. This was the Bute Marina. I had no idea that the houseboat and the Phoenix Building had been that close to each other, maybe 200 meters.
Why am I telling this now? A few days ago I watched a few episodes of season 3, with some panoramic shots of the Phoenix Building with a bay and boats in the background. And now I knew that if the camera angle would have been just a little more to the left, we would have seen the houseboat. But I believe they avoided to show the houseboat, to give us the idea that it was located in a whole different area.
Maybe this is a well known fact, but new to me. I made some pictures at the time, but don't know how to post them.
