Bumblebee (2018)

Charlie, a teenager mourning the loss of her father, fixes up a beat-up old VW Beetle she found in a junkyard a discovers a new friend on the run from an intergalactic war. Bumblebee was filmed in Los Angeles, Vallejo, San Rafael, Santa Cruz, & Lancaster.

Agent Burns is running a training mission with his soldiers in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park when it is interrupted by Bumblebee crashing down from the sky.

Charlie works her job at the Hot Dog on a Stick stand on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where she accidentally spills some drinks on some guy from school.

After work she rides her bike down the Santa Cruz Wharf.

She hunts for parts in Hank’s shop located in a lot on South Seaside Avenue in Long Beach.

And then she returns home to her house at the end of Via Montebello in San Rafael. Charlie’s house was constructed in an empty lot at the end of the street for filming, but Memo’s house at 39 San Marino Drive was real.

After discovering her new VW Beatle is actually an alien robot she takes him to Rodeo Beach in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area for training.

Meanwhile, Section 7 sets up a roadblock in front of the two newly arrived Decepticons on 120th Street West near Lancaster.

Charlie goes walking with Bee through the Henry Cowell Redwoods and discovers a hidden message from Optimus Prime.

She takes Memo on a ride in Bumblebee along West Ridgecrest Road and then to Conzelman Road both in the Golden Gate Recreation Area.

They end up in the parking lot near Battery Mendell where Bee tries to rope Charlie into doing some cliff jumping.

On their way home after egging a house they pass a police officer who chases them for speeding. They are chased along Mt. Hollywood Drive in Griffith Park and through the Mt. Hollywood Drive Tunnel.

Shatter and Dropkick drive out of the secret Section 7 headquarters in Hoover Dam and the down Georgia Street west of Sonoma in Vallejo.

Charlie, Memo, and Bumblebee run into the military’s roadblock on Mt. Hollywood Drive on the north side of Griffith Park.

Bumblebee is locked up with the Decepticons in Building 51 at Long Beach Airport and when Charlie breaks him out they drive through the gate near the defunct Boeing C-17 Factory next door.

They end up at Dry Dock #1 at the old Mare Island Naval Shipyard where they fight to stop the Decepticons from sending a signal giving away the location of planet Earth.

After defeating the bad guys, Charlie and Bumblebee head up to Battery Spencer to say goodbye and then Bee takes on a new form and drives off across the Golden Gate Bridge.
