The comedy thriller “Goodfellas” was filmed in Atlanta and Los Angeles. These cities still have the atmosphere of the 1970s, which was very important for the crew. The Atlanta Hilton Hotel, where several scenes of the thriller take place, has not changed at all since it was built in 1976.
Bowling
In movie
Scene where Classic 1970s atmosphere - bowling alley, vintage cars, sunshine and palm trees - here we meet one of the main characters of the movie - Holland March. Bright colors, leather upholstery of sofas, neon signs - all this supports the look of a typical entertainment center of those years. The interior of the bowling club is literally imbued with the spirit of the era: the shining chrome details, the noise of playing machines and music coming from an old radio set instantly transport the viewer to that time.
Timing: 00:21:10
Real
Scene was shot in a suburb of Los Angeles. The bowling center sign still adorns the building, so you can drive by and see it for yourself. Next door is an apartment complex that is also steeped in the spirit of the 70s.
The building with the protesters
In movie
Scene where The main characters in search of Amelia, on a tip-off, come to a building where a mass protest against environmental pollution is taking place. Naturally, it does not do without arguments and clarification of relations. But that's the nature of this duo.
Timing: 00:27:44
Real
Scene was shot A luxurious white columned building on Spring Street in Los Angeles served as the location for the protest scene. Lots of stairs, plenty of space for a crowd of young people concerned about the emissions situation made this location perfect for the crew. The building houses the City Council.
Los Angeles
Hotel
In movie
Scene where continuing their search for the girl, our sweet couple arrives at the hotel. High vaults of the building, dark interior decoration, dimmed light - this place reeks of luxury and the spirit of the time. The heroes immediately go behind the bar to ask the employee about the possible location of the missing girl.

Real
Scene was shot What could better fit the role of a hotel than the hotel itself? Yes, it was in the hotel that the shooting took place, even the name was left original - “Burbank”. Eh, if they had added one letter in front, our Russian viewers would have felt at home.
