Places whose own article says it was shot there
2 places whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.
-
Sherman Oaks Galleria United States
“The mall has been a shooting location for many films, most notably the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High as well as the 1983 film Valley Girl, both of which focused on the early 1980s San Fernando Valley youth culture.” Wikipedia
-
Van Nuys High School United States
“The campus was used as a location for the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in California, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable (a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote), so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
