One-Shot: Item 47 | MCU Location Scout

Title card for Item 47 One Shot.

We don’t know what we’re doing.

A young couple, Bennie and Claire, go on a multi-state bank robbing spree using a piece of Chitauri weaponry left over from the battle of New York. They are apprehended in South Florida by SHIELD Agent Sitwell and given a choice. This short film was included on The Avengers DVD.

STREET

The shots of Bennie and Claire in the car, plus Bennie exiting the car, were shot on East 4th Street in Los Angeles, just east of S Main Street.

MAP

Shots of Claire exiting the car appear to be shot at Manhattan Beach studios (now Raleigh Studios), notable by the Arbus Cold Storage sign on the wall. Presumably, these were pickups shot at a later time, as there’s no other explanation for not filming them at the primary location.

BANK

The shots of the banks they rob are all from the same location. Both the exterior and all interiors were shot at Farmers and Merchants Bank on 401 S Main Street in Los Angeles. This portrayed the initial bank in Allentown, PA, as well as subsequent banks in Richmond, VA, Greensboro, NC, Charleston, SC, and Savannah, GA.

MOTEL

Agent Sitwell eventually catches up to them in a South Florida motel/apartment complex. This is the Dunes Inn on Wilshire. Images from a Flickr user circa 2012 show the same green decor on the doors and umbrella by the pool.
