#MICROMAN BATMAN HOUSE MOVIE#
After re-watching the flick earlier today, though, I believe that the mansion did appear once at the very end of the movie as the residence of “The Writer” (aka Richard Dreyfuss). In X-Files: Fight The Future, it was used as the Somerset, England home of the Well-Manicured Man (aka John Neville).Īccording to some reports that I found online, the mansion was also featured in 1986’s Stand By Me, which seemed a bit odd being that I had always heard that Stand By Me was filmed almost in its entirety in the state of Oregon. In Scary Movie 2, the mansion stood in for Hell House/Kane Manor where most of the film’s action takes place. In 1999’s Bowfinger, the mansion was used as the residence of action star Kit Ramsey (aka Eddie Murphy).Īnd in that flick the home’s real life gate does actually appear and was the site of one of the movie’s funniest scenes. In the first Rush Hour movie, the mansion stood in for Los Angeles’ Chinese Consulate.Īs you can see in the above photograph and screen capture, though, the exterior gate which appears in that movie is not the home’s real life gate. and as Roman Strauss’ (aka Kenneth Branagh’s) home in 1991’s Dead Again. Audrey’s Home for Boys where Grace (aka Emma Thompson) was taken in by a nun. The residence was also used as both the St.
#MICROMAN BATMAN HOUSE SERIES#
If anyone has those movies or has seen them in the past, can you let me know which, if either, of the San Rafael mansions was featured in them?Īs I mentioned above, the mansion’s most famous appearance was as Wayne Manor in the 1966 television series Batman and the subsequent movie of the same name that was made that very same year. Mary’s, Sweet Bird of Youth, and True Confessions. And I didn’t do too bad – the only movies I wasn’t able to track down were Topper, Three Men and a Little Lady, Executive Action, The Gumball Rally, The Bells of St. Further adding to the confusion between the properties is the fact that they are located within blocks of each other on the very same street, San Rafael Avenue, in Pasadena and have both been featured in countless productions over the years.īecause the location rumors about the two mansions have been running rampant for so very long, this weekend I decided to try to get my hands on as many of the productions filmed on the premises as I could to try to set the record straight once and for all.
Not only are both houses gargantuan, set far back from the road, and Tudor/Gothic Revival in style, but both were constructed almost entirely out of brick by the very same architect, Paul Revere Williams, and bear a striking resemblance to each other.
Sadly, though, not very much of it is visible from the street.Īccording to Zillow, the residence, which was built in 1928, boasts ten bedrooms, six bathrooms, a whopping 16,599 square feet of living space, and sits on over five acres of land! And if you look at the above photographs, it is very easy to see why the property is often confused with the Just Married mansion that burned down in October of 2005. So, to set the record straight – and since we already were in the area a couple of weeks ago doing some Just Married stalking- I decided to drag my fiancé a few hundreds yards up the road to also stalk Bruce Wayne’s pad.
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the Batman mansion and the Just Married mansion are quite often mistaken for each other due to a myriad of reasons. Just up the street from the Just Married mansion which I blogged about yesterday is the residence which stood in for Wayne Manor, aka Batman’s abode, in the 1966 television series and movie of the same name.
