The scenes of the kids' high school (called "Clark Secondary School") were actually filmed at El Segundo High School,

Evan's house (Michael Cera) is seen briefly near the start of the film.

Seth, convinced that the fake McLovin ID will never work, tries to steal some booze from a supermarket but he chickens out after he imagines being murdered by the store's security guard. The real place is a Von's market, which is now called "Jon's Market".

The most memorable moment is the scene in the liquor store where McLovin' gets knocked out when trying to buy booze. The real spot is 7 Days Food Store.

The movie's final scene is shot inside a mall (the Fox Hills Mall), where lifelong friends Seth & Evan part, each heading off in different directions with their new girlfriends.

After the cops accidentally smash up their own squad car, they decide to report that it was stolen and trashed. So they drive it to an empty parking lot (Lot F10 at Cal-State Northridge) at night, set it on fire, then let "McLovin'" shoot it full of holes.

The guys finally make it to their girlfriends' party, hoping to get lucky. But it doesn't quite work out that way. Seth strikes out with his girlfriend because he's drunk. Evan's girlfriend throws herself at him, but he resists because she's drunk.

Having escaped the cops, the boys get on a bus (to go to their girlfriends' party), only to find themselves in a confrontation with the hostile drunk that McLovin' helped catch at the bar.

Evan & Seth, carrying their stolen booze, run through a residential neighborhood. They stop and get into an argument, where Evan accuses Seth of bailing on him.

Seth & Evan accompany Francis to a rowdy house party in hopes of stealing the alcohol they need. But it turns out that Francis isn't welcome, and the host beats him up, forcing Seth & Evan to flee - but not without a quantity of purloined booze.
