<Li> Roberta Vasquez as Heather Torres </Li> <Li> Hal Williams as Powell </Li> <P> Within California, filming was done primarily on location in Saratoga, San Jose and Los Angeles . Various filming sites included Interstate 680 and State Route 87 in San Jose for the opening chase sequence featuring the semi-tractor trailer, the famous Villa Montalvo mansion for the henchmen meeting scene in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Saratoga, and the San Jose International Airport as well as the Mojave Air & Space Port for the final action climax scene, which author Laurence F. Knapp described as "both purgative and objectionable--a vivid, personal exchange of camera angles and vantage points that complicate, rather than conclude ." A furniture warehouse on the corner of 4th and Hewitt streets in downtown Los Angeles, stood in as the hideaway for Strom's illegal theft operation . But in relation to same hideaway's demise later in the film, a different building was used in the City of Commerce . A warehouse previously occupied by an auto agency slated for demolition on Flower near 12th Street, stood in for the impending explosion - filled destruction . During an introductory scene, where Eastwood's character pulls up in an unmarked squad car to foil the plans of the car thieves, a z - shaped thoroughfare called Santa Fe Street, provided the perfect secluded background at night which also happened to overlook the Los Angeles skyline . For the action sequences involving aircraft at the San Jose airport, a Hansa twin - engine jet was used to collide with a Convair 880 that was briefly disguised as a 150 - passenger Evergreen International Airlines Boeing 727 . </P> <P> In keeping with the continuity of the subject matter and storyline, the filming was punctuated with the use--and in some cases the destruction--of expensive and alluring foreign automobiles; including a Ferrari Daytona, a Porsche 928, a Jaguar XJ, as well as brief appearances of a Cadillac Allante and a Rolls - Royce Silver Spirit . A vintage gull - wing Mercedes - Benz 300SL is also presented in the film, being personally driven by Braga's character in an introductory sequence before a large - scale climactic car chase scene . In addition to driving a newly redesigned Mercedes - Benz 500SL for the 1990 model year, Eastwood's character is also seen conveying his distaste for the Lime Green color on the Lotus Esprit and later driving said vehicle during a criminal pursuit . Sheen's character also takes part in a scene involving an older, rare Harley - Davidson, riding head - on through the front door of a residential home . </P>
