"Night Patrol"

During one of the many misguided adventures of the under-qualified police officers Pat Paulson and Murray Langston in "Night Patrol" (New World Pictures, 1984) we get this quick view north toward the Globe Theatre, 744 S. Broadway. 
 
Thanks to Eric Schaefer for spotting the theatre and getting the screenshot. The film also features Billy Barty, Linda Blair, Jaye P. Morgan, Jack Riley, Lori Sutton, Pat Morita and Andrew Dice Clay. Jackie Kong tried to direct. The cinematography was by Hanania Baer and Jürg V. Walther.

See the pages about the Globe Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for a history of this 1913 vintage legit house that later went to movies. At the time of the shoot for this film it was running Spanish language product. It closed as a film house in 1986.

On IMDb: "Night Patrol"
