Battle of Harlem | MCU Location Scout

Diamond back and Luke fighting on a Harlem street.

I’mma whoop your ass up and down the block.

The beginning of the big fight between Luke and Diamondback starts inside Pop’s Barber Shop and erupts onto the side street outside. It then continues, drawing a crowd, as Luke rope-a-dopes Stryker into using all his energy before the takedown punch.

The assumption is that this battle is taking place on W 119th Street, which is the street just south of the Barber Shop. That’s what I thought, too. Instead, the production chose to film this on Hancock Street in Bed-Stuy. When Luke punches out his brother, Diamondback lands on the patio outside 421A.
