Roger Murtaugh, played by Danny Glover, shows up in front of the same tower to investigate. The Villa Riviera condos can be seen in the distance.
Murtaugh’s house, seen in much of the film, was not a real house. It was a set on the Warner Bros. Ranch in Burbank, California. The ranch was offsite from the main Warner Studio lot and not available for public tours. The house had been used in countless productions, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” “American Beauty,” “Hook, Line and Sinker,” “WandaVision” and many, many more. It had the most complete interiors of any set on the ranch, much of which was seen in the film. The entire ranch was demolished in 2023, with sound stages taking over the space.
