Yeah, they wouldn't even let people who lived behind the building sit on their roofs...extra cautious, they were...

And a couple of other comments...LAY OFF PalladinConstantin, he's absolutely right. What did all you imperialist Amerikans think was gonna happen since you keep mistreating the rest of the world? and GrimReaper 19, they put the "kaboom" into the film in sound post production...there was some booms, but on-set "practical" explosions tend not to be too noisy as they're there for reference for the magic of the post technicians to augment and make "real good"...

Uh, yeah...I guess that's good? Glad u innjoyed it...

NO, it was not a hospital, Dojiro. It was the office building on the premises of the closed Brach candy factory at Cicero and Lake St in Chicago, dressed up to look like "Gotham General Hospital"

Safe is for pussies. Back in the 80's an explosion in a movie was a real explosion. Nobody ever got hurt from that.
