Here is the view today. You can just make out the pub at the far end near the entrance to Chinatown.

Flashpoint (1998), best selling adult DVD of all times by 2009. Kinda remake of Backdraft (action thriller released in 1991 about fire-fighters, sex and flames, death and traitors).

Two threads on VEF since it's considered 1997 (i.e. classic) in some sources and 1998 (i.e. modern) in another sources. Although 1998 is production year mentioned in the movie itself.

Jenna Jameson (played by Jenna Jameson) is brave firefighter from Los Angeles.

One day Jenna made a long ride from fire station to some address with Toys store across the street...

...to rescue some suicide jumper on the roof with view to LA City Hall.

I made some research to find this roof. The dispatcher (Joy King) said it's Main st 1357 (corner of Kensington Rd). That was BS actually - no such place in LA.

Jenna and suicide jumper (Anthony Crane). According to List of tallest buildings in Los Angeles there are Aon Center, 611 Place and U.S. Bank Tower (highest building on West coast back then) on background with Gas Company Tower and Rosslyn Lofts 1913 on foreground.

So I calculating angles with Google Street View and guessed this roof is somethere along 5th street. The angle is similar isnt' it?

Also when Jenna catch the jumper we can see the sign "5th & LA". So this sign is at 5th St x Los Angeles St? Yep!

Now we found the roof address. It's 5th St and Marble St corner.

('Toys' and so on advertising sign is the same as in 1997 or quarter of century ago!)

And you know what?
This place is their own fire station! So they made long ride to find suicide jumper on their own roof! View from inside the fire station on street with the same 'Toys' sign.

And you know what? #2
It's not just some fire station, it's famous Fire Station 23! Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. Also this place is very close to Skid Row so surroundings looks no so pleasant nowadays.

Fire Station 23 was used as filming location of Ghostbusters, The Mask, Police Academy 2, Big Trouble in Little China and...

...and Flashpoint too.
