Just before it closed, there was a rape that occured here. I believe this was one of the reasons as to why it was shut down. I don’t know if the case was ever solved. The last movie I saw here was the Star Trek movie w/Ricardo Montalban(RIP). I do miss the drive-ins.

Yo KingB!

Ya know it!!! I went to a “grindhouse” event in Palm Springs last year and it really reminded me of this theatre. They screened 70’s b-movies, westerns,1 kung fu dig and sexploitation flix, the event planners had installed a concession stand with ole skoo treats(tab soda, bon-bons, planters peanuts in da bag)and the attendants wore striped pink blazers w/white mini’s(jus da girlz). Some of the guys working the event had afros, mullets and slic-backed, greazy hair. Awe man, it was awesome! Hope they have another one this year.

Peace!!!

Wow, this place rocked. I mean, what’s not ta like about this legendary place? Samoans, kung-fu and horror flicks, rated-R movies.
Loved this place when I was in jr.high(1978-80). You could bring a note signed by your parent that it was okay to see rated-R movies. The manager(older white dude)or the Samoan chick w/afro would let me and my friends in to see such classics(boob flicks) as “Three the Hardway”, “I Spit on your Grave” and other 70’s exploitation flixs. Had a blast man! Hey, if it was good enough for Q.Tarantino, it was good enough for me. Did I say that I love the kung fu flixs???
Peace!!!

Hello UA ushers/usherettes!

I’m interested in hearing from anyone that worked at UA Del Amo between 1981 thru 1984. Used to be an usher, had a blast. Hey UAboy84! Did you work for Jeff Wine? UAHouseMan, had a cousin that worked there during your time. Anyway, had some funny stories and great experiences at good ole UA Del Amo. The concession/candy girls were real cool and management was too! If you’re reading this and remember the video jukebox or Dragon’s Lair, hit me up@. Lookin forward to hearin from y'all.
