where was kindergarten cop filmed

Kindergarten Cop was filmed primarily in Astoria, Oregon, with other scenes shot in nearby coastal towns and in Los Angeles for specific sequences. The movie’s core setting and many exterior and interior classroom scenes were captured in Astoria, notably at John Jacob Astor Elementary School, located at 3550 Franklin Avenue in Astoria. Additional location work occurred at Ecola State Park along Highway 101 near Cannon Beach, Oregon, as well as scenes in Seaside, Oregon (including a local gas station/quick-stop) and segments filmed in Los Angeles. A notable non-Oregon sequence was shot at a shopping mall in California, identified as Main Place Mall in Santa Ana, where some opening or transitional shots were filmed. These locations collectively comprise the film’s known shooting sites. If you’d like, I can pull up more precise map coordinates or create a short map-style list of the sites with approximate driving distances between them.
