"Commando"

 

We get a look at the Pacific 4 Theatres in the Sherman Oaks Galleria in a brawl scene in Mark Lester's film "Commando" (20th Century Fox, 1985). 

 

The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rae Dawn Chong. Also featured are Dan Hedaya, Vernon Wells, Alyssa Milano, David Patrick Kelly, James Olson and Sharon Wyatt. The cinematography was by Matthew F. Leonetti. This was familiar terrain for Leonetti as he had shot "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" here in 1981. 

 

 

Heading to get Arnold, who's going to throw a telephone booth at them.

See the page about the Pacific 4 Theatres on the Los Angeles Theatres site. There's also information on the replacement 16 screen complex that opened in the mall in 2001. It was later rebranded as an ArcLight and in 2021 became the Regal Sherman Oaks Galleria. 

There's a two-and-a-half minute clip of the mall brawl scene on YouTube. Thanks to Whiteberry for sharing it as part of his great post on Blu-ray.com that gives a rundown of the mall's appearances in various movies and TV shows.
