Filming Locations - Season 1, Con't.
108 - Chuck Vs. The Truth
The Couples Go to Sushi
Chuck and Sarah go out for sushi on their first double date. The resturant is called Kyoto Sushi, located at 22906 Vanowen St in Reseda, Ca. It is in a strip mall. And you can see where Mason Whitney colapses and Ellie looks after him until the ambulance comes. The sushi place is no longer in business.
Ellie in the Hospital
When Ellie gets ill from the effects of the poison, she is taken to Westside Medical Center. We do not see the exterior of the hospital yet. But the interior scenes were filmed at North Hollywood Medical Center, located at 12629 Riverside Drive in North Hollywood. It ceased being used as a hospital in 1998. The TV show Scrubs used the hospital as its hospital set from 2001-2009. The building was remodeled to add dressing rooms and production offices. In addition to Chuck, the building was used by a number of shows. The hospital was demolished in 2011.
Going to Reardon's Apartment
Chuck uses the tracking device to determine that Readon’s apartment is somewhere in downtown LA. However, while they do show an overhead shot of downtown, they then show the two office towers in Century City, which is not near downtown. (13.5 miles away) In the upper part of the picture is the Century Plaza Hotel. Century City was built on an old 20th Century Fox studio back lot beginning in 1963.
109 - Chuck Vs. Imported Hard Salami
The opening scene of the episode is the Helsinki dock where a cargo container is lowered into place. It appears this is the same location as the Chuck Vs. the Helicopter (episode 102) was filmed. It is the old Southwest Marine site in San Pedro.
Chuck and Lou walk up to a nightclub building at 1650 Schrader Bl, near the corner of Schrader and Hollywood Bl. It is/was a nightclub with a number of different names over the last 15 years; Eden, Blok, Crimson, Evita and Opera. As near as can be determined, it was called Eden when it was used in the show. The interior of the club in the show is significantly different than the inside of Club Eden, so in all likelihood, the interior was a set on a soundstage or a practical set of the Warner Brother’s backlot.
Sarah and Casey go to the docks to recover the “shipment.” Again, it is the Southwest Marine location. This time you can see the buildings across the water. Particularily the two white tanks.
Chuck and Sarah Run to the Package
After Chuck and Sarah escape from Yaro, they run to intercept the ‘package.” It appears they are inside the Warner Brothers set construction building, which is huge. Here is a picture of the outside, but the windows are the same and the ceiling is also. They also encouter the crate and you know what happens next.
110 - Chuck Vs. the Nemesis
The bulk of Chuck Vs. The Nemesis was filmed at familar sets on the WB lot, the Apartment and the Buymore with the possible exception of the scenes of Bryce in the hospital, which could have been filmed at the North Hollywood Medical Center. It’s hard to tell. Could have easily been on set at WB.
Sarah and Bryce Car Crash
Sarah and Bryce’s car is t-boned at the intersection of Vassar Ave and Califa St., one block off of Topanga Canyon Bl. in Woodland Hills. It is also down the streat from the Wodland Hills Marriott Hotel, which is used later in the series.
Another interesting thing is the street sign seems to indicate Matilla Ave. Not only is there no sign on the lightpole normally, but there is no street in Los Angeles by that name.
111- Chuck Vs. Crown Vic
Chuck and Company Make a Nerd Herd Call to Lon Kirk's Yacht
Chuck, Lester and Jeff go to Lon Kirk’s yacht to do service on their remote control systems. The yacht is docked at Marina Del Rey, a very upscale waterfront area of Los Angeles. They will be back.
Chuck and Sarah Attend Lon Kirk's Fundraising Party
Chuck and Sarah attend Lon Kirk’s charity fundraising event at the California Yacht Club in Marina Del Rey. It’s a private, membership only club located at 4469 Admiralty Way, Marina Del Rey CA.
On the evening of Monday, December 11, 2023, a fire broke out which destroyed the 1960’s era club building. The club was also used later on in the episode.
Morgan and Anna with Her Parents at Lunch
Morgan and a very differently dressed Anna have lunch with her parents at the California Yacht Club. He sees Sarah on Lon’s yacht and calls Chuck.
112 - Chuck Vs. The Undercover Lover
The Explosion
One of the opening scenes has Casey and his lover, Ilsa, shown in the apartment/hotel. She exits the building (notice the courthouse on the right side) and shortly we see a man leaving a shop and then there is a massive explosion. The scene was filmed on the Warner Brothers lot on New York Street. Later, we see Casey exit the apartment building.
The Grand Saville Hotel
The Russians, including Ilsa Trinchina, Casey’s ex-girlfriend, are staying at he Grand Saville Hotel. The exterior shot of the hotel is actually the Wilshire Grand Hotel in downtown LA. It was torn down in 2013 and replaced with a much larger hotel. The interior shots were filmed at the Marriott Marina Del Rey. They are in the lobby bar area where the dancing takes place.
Chuck and Casey Fall Into Pool
Casey and Chuck are tied up in the hotel room. They fight their way over the balcony and fall into the pool. They are at the Marriott Marina Del Rey.
113 - Chuck Vs. The Marlin
The CIA Warehouse
After Chuck finds the bug in the Buy More, which is not a bug that Casey was using. It was a GLG-20 and there is a accompanying receiver. Fulcrum was suspected. The entire Buy More was emptied and sent to a warehouse. The warehouse was an airplane hanger at the Santa Monica Airport. Originally build by The Douglas Aircraft Co, it is now know as the Barker Hanger. It is used for concerts and other events.
Chuck Taken to the Extraction Point
When it was decided that Chuck had to be taken out of Burbank to an undisclosed underground location, he is taken to a rooftop helipad. It is located at 1400 S. Grand Ave, Los Angeles CA. Notice the number 12, marking the helipad.
