Cypress Mountain
'Panorama' run (I think)
[49.394595,-123.207767]

This is *somewhere* on the Cypress Mountain ski slopes, not too far from the base, but I'm not sure exactly which run we were on. My best guess is maybe 'Panorama', but I could be wrong.

In actuality, in most of these clips, Richie was asking random people on the street where the nearest McDonald's was. So they are all pointing him toward the McDonald's at the corner of Granville & Smithe, a block down from Nelson St.

Richie walks into the park from the southeast corner (Cordova & Jackson). The reverse shot, where he finds Mr. Stubbs playing chess at a picnic table, was actually shot on the lot of The Bridge Studios. The same corner of the park is seen in 'Revenge of the Sword' as Jimmy and Charlie walk north toward the playground.
