It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia:
The street that Paddy's is on has a rad knee high curb with angle iron edging, and a weird little bank to bank. Charlie's apartment building has a short downhill three-stair grinder out front. Also, Charlie and Sweet Dee are seen in Love Park on at least one occasion.
Flight Of The Conchords:
A scene was set in the fountain at Flushing.

I had a bunch of other examples in my head while I lay in bed drunk last night, but alas, they are gone.

I think they've shown city hall a few times in that show.

I've seen a lot of rad skateable banks in the background of most movie made anywhere in between 1980-2003

The UCI rails are in one of the Ghost Busters movies.
I have seen two movies that were period pieces (set before people were grinding ledges) and in the background you could see a waxed ledge. Directors were blowing it! Can't remember which movies those were in... So this comment is sorta pointless.

Also the NY courthouse spot is in a ton of movies. I watched the original ninja turtles movie from 1989 the other day and seen it when April walks out of the courthouse.

I remeber there's a tight looking future hubba after Yoda tells Anikin he can't be in the Jedi council and Obi Wan has to calm him down outside cause he's all bummed. Perfect for a 360 flip noseslide.
Also The Island had some sick future pyramids in their underground utopia

In the bank robbing scene in Heat you see a million downtown LA spots.

weren't both Ghostbusters films shot on location in New York? Kinda weird for the UCI rails to make an appearance? ! ? ! ?

I am 90% sure of this. It was one shot of just the outside of the building. Probably some establishing shot for something else they were doing that they used. Maybe I am wrong.

in one of the last in the OG series of Planet of the apes movies you can see almost every spot at UCI, shit was filmed in the 70's so this was way before any of that stuff had been touched.
Also i wouldnt consider this a "rad spot" but in the only episode i've seen of baywatch some kid is talking on a cellphone at that weird manual spot fountain thing in Balboa park in SD.

I don't know shit about 'It's Always Sunny..', but your spot at :15 is definitely in Repo Man, which is way better

I have seen this fountain in videos when it is drained. Looks so amazing!

It was in the end of "Logan's Run." It says it is in Fort Worth so do any Texas heads know a link to any video it was in?

The spot is in some web videos, Thrasher had one Altamont had one too and I have seen random YouTube videos of Baltimore that showed the spot.
Definitely was stoked every time they showed it on The Wire, in fact in the commentary of Season 4 or 5 I can't remember which one but they talk about scouting locations for where Marlo and his crew would hang and they mentioned they found a perfect place that they believed was an abandoned skatepark so it may have been actually designed for skating originally or the producers just thought it was an old skatepark from back in the day.

Just saw Contagion and the first spot from last year's OIAM is seen a couple times. Well, not realllly the spot, but the park where the spot is.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I just noticed this and I thought it was kind of funny, even though it's more of a reference than a spot. From American History X:

A pro definitely filmed a trick at that spot, I saw it semi recently. Someone else will probably remember who
The funniest is kink.com,or whatever the company is that runs it, buying the three up three down spot in sf, from BAs dope yeah right line
They show a shot of the warehouse at the start of every video I think, and you can see the stairs

true.
and im sure someone said this in the skate 3 thread.
but ea should just make skate 4 in liberty city.
that would be much more fun than some sort of skateboard utopia with 20 ft ledges.
and on topic its not really a spot but in sienfeld when geroge has the jon voight car and kicks jerry out for talkin shit there is a kid in the background olling up a curb.
i always thought that was cool.

in Sherlock, you can see Sherlock and Watson walking through the south banks i think.

Not a spot, but in the new ATT commercial the kid 'working' on his skateboard is wearing a Pawnshop Skate Shop tee. So random for such a corporate commercial but nice to see nonetheless.

As per the original post, Paddy's Pub isn't in Philadelphia. It's in Los Angeles, which is where they film the show. They go out to Philadelphia a few times per season to shoot exterior shots and anything that requires them to be in a recognizable setting (Love, City Hall, Italian Market, etc.) I freelance for various FX productions from time to time.

there's a ledge spot in Bob's burgers where the older kids hang out that looks like it would be the town spot. like a curved three step ledge.
