The film-makers stayed true to this property and all the scenes that were supposed to take place there were filmed there. This is the location where Tony first sees Elvira descending in the lift, and where he returns to propose to her on the pool deck. The interiors of the Frank Lopez house were filmed at 485 Matheson Drive, Key Biscayne, Florida.

It was one of the first designs to start the trend for postmodern architecture in the city. The front entrance of the Frank Lopez residence was filmed at The Atlantis, a high-rise condominium building at 2025 Bricknell Avenue, Miami. The dusk scene where Tony phones Omar was shot on the MacArthur Causeway in Miami, with the affluent Star Island in the background. Nine years later, the sets for 'Scarface' were built in exactly the same place. The sets for that film were built on Sound Stage 12 at Universal City LA.

In the SunRay Motel the TV is showing the 1974 disaster movie 'Earthquake' starring Charlton Heston and Ava Gardner. Several details make this clear: the on-set bathroom is larger than the real thing, the air conditioning box in the window was positioned further north on the set than in reality, and the high overhead camera angle would not have been possible in the real building, which had ceiling heights of only around nine feet. The infamous 'chainsaw scene' was filmed on a set at Sound Stage 12 in Universal City Studios in Los Angeles, and not on location in Miami. The ground floor is now a Johnny Rockets restaurant and the top floor front room was the HQ of the Irene Marie model agency from 1989 to 2009. The building still exists in its original form but has been extensively refurbished. The SunRay Motel and SunRay Apartments were real businesses at 728 Ocean Drive, South Beach. However, in the 1990's they were restored, and now form a key part of Miami's eclectic character. In 1983 these were in poor condition, and targeted for demolition. Įn route to the SunRay Motel, Tony and his gang pass many famous Art Deco hotels along Ocean Drive, including the Carlyle, the Colony and the Beacon. The El Paraiso sandwich bar was located at 375 East 2nd Street, Los Angeles but it has since been demolished, along with the adjacent "Miami mural" building. The area has been extensively reworked since 1983 and the buildings may have been redeveloped or changed beyond recognition. The 'El Paraiso' sandwich bar where Tony and Manny wash dishes - and the 'Little Havana' club opposite were definitely in the Little Tokyo district of Los Angeles, but their exact location is still unclear. It's where the armoured van heist was filmed. Twelve years later Al Pacino would return to this spot to play LAPD Robbery Homicide Detective Vincent Hanna in Michael Mann's 'Heat'. The 'Miami Freedomtown' location was under the intersection of Interstate 10 and Interstate 110 in Los Angeles.

The panning shot of the olive green Immigration bus was filmed on Interstate 95 in Miami, approaching the bridge over the Miami River. It would all have originally been shot on 16mm film, which accounts for the grainy quality and soft focus when enlarged to 35mm. The opening montage sequence is real newsreel coverage of the Mariel Boatlift in summer 1980.
