This montage was one of many in this movie. It made me wonder if any literary works contain montages.
Coleman and Gena ride on a carriage. They playfully drink wine illegally in public. They walk arm in arm just a few feet away and get blinded by the sun.

I guess that could work.

Mind you, the balcony that they eat at in the beginning is literally just at the corner, half a block away. They sure maximized their locations on this production. This area is along the Wilmington Downtown Riverwalk, which extends down to the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.

The other shots are visible in the same map, just spin to the left and you’ll see Battleship North Carolina, and the building they are riding past is the Alton Lennon Federal Building, which is used in many other productions. I remember watching Shirley MacLaine directing the movie Bruno (2000), and there was a guy in a suit as background walking from his start over and over again with each take. I hadn’t experience being an extra yet, but was mesmerized with how it all worked, and thought that guy was funny for walking back and forth forever. I’d learn eventually the mastery of the cross, being sent on a path by an assistant director to add movement in the background.

Later in the movie, Coleman/Bobby (Corey Feldman) and his stolen date Lainie (Meredith Salenger) recreate these same moments.

Lastly, this is also the same exact location of the morning Tai Chi, with the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge in the background.

Located on Princess Street, just a few doors down from the Wilmington National Cemetery. That green leafy madness on the fringe of the lawn is still there after all these years, but many of the trees have since been taken down. Bobby Keller (Corey Feldman) calls this home, along with his crotchety father Gus (Alex Rocco) and goofy mother Kit (Victoria Jackson).

Interestingly, when Ike (Harry Dean Stanton) walks Bobby/Coleman to Bobby’s house, they walk on the opposite side of the street, and away from his house. This is that movie magic that allows a location to be flexible if shot creatively.

Bobby/Coleman (Corey Feldman) is determined to convince his best bud Ike (Harry Dean Stanton) that he is actually Coleman by showing up in his backyard to drop tidbits of sacred knowledge. While there, Ike’s wife Shiela (Fran Taylor), who is a day-player, just has a couple lines and is never seen again. Looking at her IMDB page, she had five credited roles, all seem to be in North Carolina, mostly near Charlotte.

This one is a hard location, as it is only shown from the backyard and for only one scene. The only clue is that it is a stucco-sided house, and it has some interesting archways.

Location presently unknown.
