The Nash House Used In The Film “Wonderland”
The Nash house used for the robbery scene in the film, Wonderland, is located in Beverly Hills at 1400 Laurel Way. At least the exterior shots were filmed here. The backyard has a killer view of the city.
However, when the getaway scene was filmed, the director moved filming further down the hill on that street, so as to catch a better view of the city in the background. James Cox may have even used a camera trick or special effect to make that skyline appear larger/closer than it is with the naked eye. See below.
Don’t forget to check the captions!

Present day. About a block south of the Nash house. The trees are taller, but that is the same house on the right as the previous photo. Note the curved driveway and pole with sign.

Those guys shouldn’t have done that to the Nash.

Yeah they definitely boned up. They should have had John set them up with Eddie so they could have worked together. Eddie and Ronnie would have been unstoppable.

A guy like Nash is hit with schemes every day. People trying to dupe him or get money, etc. He would have given Ron & company a job. The Nash was so mad at what they did to him according to what Tom Lange told Julia Densmore-Negron, that WTF did they expect??

I never had a problem with Eddie sending a crew over to Wonderland to kick some ass. They had it coming, what did they expect. Now that said, the crew took things too far. They should have simply broken a Ronnie’s and Billy’s arms and legs and of course taken all the stuff back. Hitting the women was definitely out of bounds though.
If Eddie had done this, his life would have been a lot less complicated. However, since Ronnie was blabbing all over town that he did the hit on Nash, maybe the crew felt they had to make an example of these guys and show no mercy. One thing’s for sure… nobody launched a home invasion of Eddie after that.

I’m guessing that like the Brady House they got their fair share of lookie lou’s and had to put up the iron gate.

I think I live in a murder house. The cat will sit in the guest bathroom and meow his ass off while just staring at the shower. I’m like WTF and now I close the door.

Have you noticed how the Nash house used in “Wonderland” is very similar to the exterior of Molina’s house in “Boogie Nights”? Even the street and the slant of the hill it’s on is almost the same too!
