For those who know LA, if you turn right after the Chinese Theatre, you're heading up to the hills. But in this movie, he turns and he is magically back on Hollywood Boulevard, but this time about 5 minutes drive away, around Hollywood and Vine.
How does that happen?
If it was any other street in LA, okay, you can get by with that. But the iconic Hollywood Boulevard? Millions from around the world go there each year. -

I think you're taking it a bit too personally. You have to realise the reality of production. That scene was probably shot in numerous takes over a few days. A street that was open today it's turnoff/junction is probably unavailable tomorrow. Like in the movie 'The General' set in Dublin, Ireland I lived in the setting location for two years and I recognised about four streets that are genuinely at that location. It may not seem fluid to the educated eye but you make do with what you got and I honestly wonder if the average person really cares.
There's a moral to this story Del Boy but for the life of me I can't find it!
