Great old photo of Liberty Island from Escape From NY. Liberty Island was actually Sepulveda Dam in Los Angles.

A great photo of the matte background of highrise buildings. The scene was actually filmed in a field near LA. James Cameron before he became famous did most of the matte work on Escape From NY.

From 1997’s Dante’s Peak. The movie was full of old school FX. Here is the scaled down dam wall which was destroyed in the film.

Before the franchise went nearly all in on CGI. 1999’s prequel to the original Star Wars, The Phantom Menace. The crowd were actually cotton buds.

From the classic, The Exterminator. Love this flick and the gore. Was a bit of a ground breaker for its time. The opening scene in Vietnam was shot at my favourite old movie ranch near Santa Clarita, Indian Dunes.
