Start at Pier 43 1/2 on Fisherman’s Wharf with a classic clip from The Birdman of Alcatraz (definitely not based on a true story) and a hot-off-the-presses clip from the Dwayne Johnson blockbuster, San Andreas.
On the way to North Beach, check out crooked Lombard Street and Taylor Street, where Steve McQueen in Bullitt catches big air in the most famous car chase scene of all time. In North Beach, enjoy Sts. Peter and Paul Church and Washington Square. Watch out for the Scorpio killer from Dirty Harry! Then see the Financial District, home to the Towering Inferno, which is destroyed, and the Transamerica Pyramid, which narrowly escapes destruction in Mission Impossible. On Nob Hill, you'll be in the middle of the action from Vertigo, Bullitt, The Wedding Planner, and The Rock.
Next up is Union Square, home to the world's first talkie movie, as well as a surprise visit from Alfred Hitchcock. Then venture to Antman's apartment and see San Francisco as New York City in Rent. The city's most famous movie star, City Hall, is next on the agenda. City Hall has filled in admirably for Washington, DC (Raiders of the Lost Ark), Chicago (Tucker), and itself in Foul Play, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and Milk. We'll stop there for some fantastic photos of a beautiful building.
Of course, what movie tour would be complete without the opening picnic sequence from Full House and a photo stop at Alamo Square for a view of the Painted Ladies. The world famous Golden Gate Park is next. As Captain Kirk states in Star Trek IV, "set us down - in Golden Gate Park." From the park to the Presidio, engulf yourself in a 3-minute tribute to the chase scene from Bullitt. Exactly how many times did Steve McQueen pass that green VW Bug? How many hubcaps came off the Dodge Charger? Is it really sunny one moment and cloudy the next?
In the Presidio, stop at Inspiration Point; aptly named as you will indeed be inspired by the beauty of the Bay, The Palace of Fine Arts, and Alcatraz. Then make your way to Fort Point at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, where Kim Novak jumps in the water and Jimmy Stewart miraculously saves her in Vertigo. Catch some incredible views of the bridge on your camera, and, yes, selfie sticks are still allowed here.
On the way out of Fort Point, experience a montage of Golden Gate Bridge destruction sequences ranging from 1955's It Came From Beneath the Sea to 2015's San Andreas, while also driving by George Lucas' Letterman Digital Arts Complex. Finally, visit Pacific Heights, where you'll see the high school from Princess Diaries and the tour's most favorite location, Mrs. Doubtfire's house, the last picture stop on the tour.
