TRAINING DAY- FILMING LOCATIONS THEN AND NOW. LOS ANGELES NEIGHBORHOODS

TRAINING DAY- THE FILMING LOCATIONS. LOS ANGELES NEIGHBORHOODS . An absolutely exhaustive visit to all (almost all) of the filming locations from my favorite film of all time, “Training Day” This took a long time to put together and went to some crazy areas of Los Angeles, but in the end, I think it was worth it. This is a lengthy one, but you gotta be a wolf to catch a wolf right?

Training Day is a 2001 American crime thriller film directed by Antoine Fuqua, and written by David Ayer. Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke star as two LAPD narcotics officers over a 12-hour period in the gang-ridden neighborhoods of Westlake, Echo Park and South Central Los Angeles.

Fuqua wanted Training Day to look as authentic as possible, and he shot on location in some of the most infamous neighborhoods of Los Angeles. He even obtained permission to shoot in the Imperial Courts housing project, the first time L.A. street gangs had allowed film crew to be brought into that neighborhood. The crew also filmed in Hoover Block and Baldwin Village. Parts of the film were shot on a dead end street called Palmwood Drive, where the Black P. Stones Blood gang members were seen on the rooftops. Cle Shaheed Sloan, the gang technical advisor of Training Day, managed to get on screen real-life gang members from Rollin' 60 Crips, PJ Watts Crips, and B. P. Stones (a Bloods set). According to Fuqua, the actors and crew ended up receiving a warm welcome from local residents. When he was unable to shoot a scene directly on location, he recreated the locations on sets.
