1991
The city becomes a machine.
The chase depends on editing places together. The mall’s outside and inside are miles apart, and the bridge belongs to an earlier Los Angeles. This route follows the surviving public settings and explains the joins; flood channels and active roads are not stunt playgrounds.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
4 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.

04The concrete flood-control channel carries the motorcycle and truck pursuit; the marker is an area reference, not an invitation to enter the channel.
