There's a brief scene with a look south toward the theatre in "Death Warrant" (MGM, 1990). In the foreground it's a rare view of a building that was soon to be demolished. The site was then a parking lot for several decades. Thanks to Yoon Ahn for spotting the Mayan in the film and getting the screenshots.
A look up to the theatre's vertical and wall signage. The film stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as a cop going into a corrupt jail to investigate murders happening inside. Also featured are Robert Guillaume, Cynthia Gibb, Art LaFleur and Patrick Kilpatrick. Deran Sarafian directed. The cinematography was by Russell Carpenter. Curtis Schnell did the production design.
Check out the pages about the Mayan Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site. It opened in 1927 as a venue devoted to musical comedies.
