@trdidion you really do...this is one of those movies that you have to see if you want to call yourself an American (I apologize if you are not American but you get my drift lol)
@badgerbuddy and also to everyone else, the Wikipedia page on Dixie Square has A LOT of interesting information on the mall. I do not recommend going in there though, as there are cave-ins (allowing saplings to grow inside) and asbestos.
The only reason they even got to do this scene is because thid mall was just about to close . I live five minutes from this mall they never tore all of it down
this mall was abandoned only a few months before they filmed this, so thats how they were able to send this mall to hell and back. still stands to this day. Dixie Square Mall in Harvey, IL
@badgerbuddy I still enjoy the story about how they had "dressed up" the mall for this scene and they had hired a rather famous security company (Pinkerton) to guard the mall after dressing it up and before shooting this scene. However, they noticed stuff missing, so they hired another security firm to guard the mall's inventory from the Pinkerton guards...
@badgerbuddy it may be "still standing" but it's in major disrepair and has been planned to be demolished. I think some of it actually has been demolished partly.
@hg3990 Back a few years I read an article that, when they tear/tore it down, one could buy an actual brick from the wreckage. I think it was a few hundred dollars per brick.
NOOO THEY SMAHED INTO THE CAKE SHOP! I would have jumped out and stolen the cake hehehe =P
