Little did I know that 30+ years ago when I was watching Jonathan Ross's Son of the Incredibly Strange Film Show on TV, that one day I would be living just up the road from where the famous playground fight was filmed. In the Ross documentary, this scene is shown as the presenter makes a joke about Jackie and his fellow opera students having great fights in the playground.
Anyway, Andi has already done a great scene comparison over on his blog, but here a some choice screen grabs below asa reminder.

Just a heads up for the JC fans who might be thinking of visiting this place at the moment. DON'T. The park is currently undergoing a drainage improvements project involving the complete demolition of the park. It is just a big sandy buioding site right now and even when the project is completed (I believe it's due to completed in 2028?!) then I can't imagine it being rebuilt in its former configuration. When it's all done I will head down there and do a new post with all the old locations juxtaposed onto whatever is put in their place.
