The Fox Inglewood, 115 N. Market St., is seen in "Wanted Dead or Alive" (New World Pictures, 1987). Here a terrorist from the Middle East and his girlfriend are heading into the theatre to set a couple bombs.
The film, directed by Gary Sherman, stars Rutger Hauer as the bounty hunter who solves the case and Gene Simmons as the head terrorist. We soon learn that the two have some unresolved issues from the past. Thanks to Bill Gabel for noting the use of the Fox in the film.
