While watching "Rush Hour" and "The Replacement Killers," I noticed that they both used the distinctive interior of Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis-Brown House. Below is a filmography site for that house. The interior of the Bradbury Building, with its wrought iron railings and elevator, is also used in a lot of films, most notably in "Blade Runner" (which also used the Ennis-Brown House).Two questions for Inmates:
1. Name other famous interiors used in films.
2. In "Predator 2," an interior with Aztec/Mayan-style relief wall tiles and columns, similar to the Ennis-Brown House, is the scene of a bloody slaughter. Does anyone know the building/house featured in this scene?

That's what I thought. It got real messy so not likely a real location.Do you know anything about that hotel that was used in Some Like It Hot and The Stunt Man?
One of my favorite (haunted) hotels. The link is below. To find info on films/TV shows made there, click on "Press Room", then on "Summer 2002: The Hollywood Connection."
The Bradbury Building was also used in Murphy's Law and Marlowe with James Garner and Bruce Lee.The Harold Lloyd estate, Greenacres, was used in Death at Love House, Commando, Westworld, Futureworld, The Godfather, Peeper, Hearts of the West, and The Bodyguard as well as episodes of Columbo and Baretta. I think elements of the house were used in The Comic, Sunset Boulevard, The Loved One and the Elton John video for I Want Love.
One of the pictures on the Ennis-Brown site looked remarkably like the interior of the Edison home on Maniac Mansion. If you've not seen the show it's well worth checking out as it's quite clever and funny.
The Bradbury Building was also seen in Bladerunner and (my personal favorite) the "Demon with a Glass Hand" episode of Outer Limits.
I believe that was on Season II of the Outer Limits, the original series, which reminds me, I still need to pick up the recent DVD release of Season I!
I'd forgotten about Demon With a Glass Hand and you're right, it's an excellent episode. The woman in it, Arlene Martel, was an early crush of mine. She also played T'Pring in the classic Star Trek episode Amok Time. As John Wyndham would say, she was quite pneumatic.My personal favorite Outer Limits is The Architects of Fear which also starred Robert Culp. It still scares the hell out of me.
"Architects" is one of my favorite Outer Limits episodes - I vividly remember seeing it in its initial run when I was a kid. The network deemed the material as "too frightening" and blacked out some of the shots of Robert Culp as the alien - very scary stuff for its day!My top five favorite Outer Limits episodes are "Architects of Fear" for it's alien, "Demon with a Glass Hand" for its story, "The Man Who Was Never Born" for its cinematography (Conrad Hall), "The Zanti Misfits" for its funky stop-motion animation. My favorite episode is "Nightmare" in which several POWs are interrogated by the Ebonites in a secret war game - it ranks as Ione of the best pieces of TV science fiction ever made IMO.
It is located in the Coconut Grove area of Miami.One movie I remember offhand is The Money Pit (at the very end Maurine Stapelton is up to her tricks again and trying to sell Vizcaya, and then the movie pans out and ends)
The setting for this movie is a great big beautifully eclectic old house. The house is a bigger show stopper than the acting (which is OK) The picture took place in Canada, but I don't know if that is where the house is really located. I always wanted to know more about this unusual house.
