<P> Part of the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital retirement community, in Woodland Hills, is visible in the background of the scene where characters Lenny Pike and Mrs. Marcus (in the tow truck Pike stole from the service station that he destroyed in his rampage) stop at an intersection (using present - day names, terminating northbound Mulholland Drive at Valley Circle Boulevard, Avenue San Luis, and Calabasas Road) before making a U-turn . Kramer died in the hospital of the retirement community in 2001 . Anderson (1977), Durfee (1975), and Rhue (2003) also died there . Although the fictional city of Santa Rosita was really shot in Long Beach, California; Rancho Palos Verdes, California; San Pedro, California; and Santa Monica, California; Santa Rosita's location on a map in the police station scenes was portrayed as south of San Diego, California, and north along the coast from Mexico, hence Culpeper's attempt to flee there . In reality, San Diego's southern city limits border Mexico, and the southernmost "X" on the police station map would also be in San Diego, somewhere between the eastern part of Imperial Beach, and the southern part of Chula Vista, California . </P> <P> The YMCA at Long Beach Boulevard at 6th Street in Long Beach stood in for the police station . In one shot near the YMCA, a sign for Cormier Chevrolet, southwest of the station, and Sears store signs, north of the station, appear . However, a Sears store sign also appears above and several businesses away from the hardware store from which Melville and Monica exit, via a Chinese laundry . Combined with other information available from the film, the likely conclusions are that the police station is less than three blocks total from the hardware store and that the Sears store was split between nearby locations . The downtown Long Beach YMCA is now at North Waite Court at 6th Street, a block west of the station location . Sears does not currently exist in the area . In 1965 Cormier Chevrolet relocated to Carson, California, several miles northwest of downtown Long Beach, just south of the San Diego Freeway, where WIN Chevrolet subsumed it on November 15, 2011 . </P> <P> "Santa Rosita Beach State Park" was actually a private estate locally known as "Portuguese Point" near Abalone Cove Shoreline Park (33 ° 44 ′ 31" N 118 ° 22 ′ 39" W ﻿ / ﻿ 33.7419 ° N 118.3776 ° W ﻿ / 33.7419; - 118.3776), Rancho Palos Verdes . None of the "Big W" remains, with the last palm tree having fallen in the 2000s . However, in 2011, internet filmmaker James Rolfe and Price Morgan, following earlier efforts, found an angled palm tree stump on the location, with patterns matching those seen on the base of the rightmost palm in the movie . </P> <P> Rolfe and Morgan each claimed receiving permission from the owner to film the grounds to document their condition, which had deteriorated considerably since Something a Little Less Serious: A Tribute to "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World", a 1991 documentary included on the DVD version . Otherwise, this film location is off - limits to the general public, though the stump can easily be viewed by climbing a hill that is around 100 feet to the south of the house . This hill is gated to vehicles but the public is allowed . Through the years, the property has taken on a noticeable slant toward the ocean, due to the slow but ongoing Portuguese Bend landslide . </P>
