Airheads (1994)
The 1994 comedy “Airheads,” starring Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler, was filmed around Los Angeles, California. The exterior of the KPPX Rebel Radio station, where much of the film takes place is actually located on the grounds of Fox Plaza, more famously known for it’s appearance as Nakatomi Plaza in “Die Hard.” This building sits opposite the back entrance of the main building and connects to a parking structure, in an area typically off limits to the general public.
LOCATION: 2121 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles, CA 90067
The main Fox Plaza building in also seen many times in the film, such as when the band first arrives at the radio station.
Chazz, played by Brendan Fraser, unsuccessfully tries to submit a demo to Palatine Records.

The apartment of Kayla, played by Amy Locane, can be found in Hollywood. There are limited views from the street.
LOCATION: 1600 N Bronson Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028
The Lone Rangers band lives in this apartment building overlooking Hollywood.
LOCATION: 6326 Franklin Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028
The address is listed as Franklin Ave, which is deceptive. The road is atop a hillside, separating it from the main road of Franklin Ave. You actually need to take Yucca St to Ivar Ave to access it.
The band catches a show at the famous Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood. The venue pops up again later in the film when Officer Wilson, played by Chris Farley, goes looking for Kayla.

Better Call Saul
Much like its predecessor, “Breaking Bad,” the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico is so ingrained as a backdrop for the spin-off series, “Better Call Saul,” it takes on the life a character on the show. In the early seasons, Jimmy McGill, played by Bob Odenkirk, cares for his brother Chuck, played by Michael McKean. Chuck is housebound with a mental illness that causes a strong aversion to electricity and electric devices, with his house featured prominently in the series.
LOCATION: 1607 San Cristobal Rd SW, Albuquerque, NM 87104
Gus Fring, played by Giancarlo Esposito, plays a recurring character in the show and we see his infamous Los Pollos Hermanos many times. The restaurant is actually named “Twisters” and still operates today. There are a few of these restaurants in the area, so be sure to go to the one on Isleta Blvd in order to see the location used in the show. The restaurant was of course also featured heavily on “Breaking Bad.”

By season six, Saul has set up his office in the same location featured in “Breaking Bad.”
LOCATION: 9800 Montgomery Blvd, Albuquerque, NM 87111
A few businesses have come and gone from the location, but the current restaurant actually has their front door made up to look like Saul’s office.
A pop-up replica of Los Pollos Hermanos was built on an open parking lot space in Los Angeles for just a few short days in 2017, in promotion of “Better Call Saul.” For the event, they featured Jimmy’s car from the show, which he is seen driving throughout the early seasons.
