Where was the opening scene filmed? The mall scene that is. Anyone know what mall that was and if it still looks the same? I'm asking because I really liked the touch it had, that sort of early 80's retro feeling about it all the way through (although it wasn't retro back then, mind you). I'm hoping they've preserved the look to this date!

I always wondered that too
Apparently it was
"the Food Court at the Yonge & Bloor Center (located in the basement/Yonge and Bloor Subway enterance of the shopping complex) just across the street from Yorkville. "

Hi, I don't know where you got the information about the mall but it is incorrect. The opening mall scene was shot at 20-20 University which is all part of the underground section linked to the McGill Metro station in Montreal. At one point you clearly see the 20-20 sign. Some of the stores have French names only (La Crmire, for instance). I live in Montreal and know the mall well (or at least, knew it well in the early 1980s, the time this film was shot).

I know for a fact it's in
Montreal
as I have a photo from when the wife & I were there in 1977.
It's a very pretty MALL and we got a big kick when we saw it in the film.
