Very cool find!

The Heist

Meeting at the park location

South Weddington Park
Valleyheart Dr
Los Angeles, CA

The scene in which Mac meets Tiffany to return the diamonds is set right next to the Hilton Universal City Hotel, where the episode was filmed. An interesting detail is that Mac initially arrives in his red car from the north, near the baseball field. However, once Tiffany draws her pistol, the subsequent shots featuring Mac in the background were filmed with the car positioned on the opposite side. This adjustment was made to ensure that the park, rather than the surrounding neighborhood houses, appeared in the frame. Mac and Tiffany depart in the same direction they arrived, without ever turning back.

Please note that the shot depicting the house where Chris and Mac are staying is actually an insert from another series. In fact, this house served as Tom Selleck's residence in the Magnum, P.I. series, which was filmed from 1980 onwards. The original house, located in Waimanalo on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, was demolished in 2018 to make way for a more modern residence.

Welcome to the forums and great work on those locations!

Appreciate your input.

The Enemy Within

Exhibition Center Location

The scene taking place at the Exhibition Center is set at the Greek Theatre in Hollywood, a modern amphitheater designed to host various performances. In the episode, it is shown that cars can still park in front of the theater thanks to a small access road from North Vermont Avenue. Following renovations in the early 2000s, both this access road and the theater's facade have been extensively refurbished.

Please note that Kelly's house was located between the house with a double green V-shaped roof and the house with a large wooden panel and blue windows (which is blurred on Google Maps). These two traditional houses still exist today, unlike Kelly's house, which no longer stands. Two large buildings have been constructed in its place.

The streetlamp and the yellow diamond-shaped sign located right in front of Kelly's house still exist !

We can see on the opening picture the Gerald Desmond Bridge with his atypic design. In October 2020, a new cable-stayed bridge named Long Beach International Gateway replaced the old Gerald Desmond Bridge to allow taller container ships to access the ports. Demolition of the old bridge began in July 2022 and was completed in August 2023.

You're doing a good job.

Germany

The first images of the scene taking place on a bridge in Germany are from the film Funeral in Berlin. This movie is a 1966 british spy film directed by Guy Hamilton with Michael Caine and based on the 1964 novel of the same name by Len Deighton. From the moment the soldier (in close-up) with the binoculars receives the phone call giving the alert, the footage was filmed in California on the Henry Ford Bridge. We can then see that the metal shapes of the bridge are no longer the same at all.

Henry Ford Bridge
Wilmington, CA

The Henry Ford Bridge is also known as the Badger Avenue Bridge. The original 1924 bascule bridge was dismantled and replaced in 1996 by a vertical-lift bridge (so after filming the episode). At the time of filming in 1985, there was still a road with pedestrian access made of wooden planks. In the episode, we also glimpse the Commodore Schuyler F. Heim Bridge located next to this bridge in an elevated position. It is also near this bridge that MacGyver will later access the warehouse in the episode "Birth Day" (2.14).

MiracleMac description about that same building used in episode Soft Touch (2.13)

big thanks again!

I just watched Birth Day a few days ago again.

An aside I heard from an economics professor in a lecture: The pre-1990s numbering system of Mercedes cars reflected an upper middle class office worker hierarchy. They basically tapped into that as a marketing tool. They maintained that numbered car model system so people would buy their cars to sort themselves into the hierarchical place where they saw themselves, or aspired to.

Very cool, pardon the pun!

I just got back from Vancouver and visited some filming locations. Here's my blog post with photos.

MacGyver Location Adventure: Vancouver

I've always enjoyed this thread. It's so cool to see the exact spots from scenes.

So according to Larry Musser at The MacGyver Project they filmed parts of The Visitor in Westham Island in Delta. The main "UFO" site could be near Roddick's Barn on Frew Road in the south of Westham Island. The grassy bridges over the canal would fit.
