Sections 4 – 10: The ride along Hyde Street

Annotations:

(4) This sequence starts at the intersection of Hyde Street (southern direction; yellow arrow), facing North Point Street in eastern direction (red arrow).

(5) The limo continues its ride on Hyde Street in southern direction; the typical Victorian row houses (D) can be noticed behind Danny.

(6) Behind Michael, the 2500 through 2400 blocks on Hyde Street as well as the

concrete railing (E) with Russian Hill Park (F) are visible.

Sections 4 – 10: The ride along Hyde Street (continued)

Annotations:

(7) Although the limo continues its ride south on Hyde Street, the intersection with Bay Street appears in the background. As this intersection is located further up north and the concrete railing (E) with Russian Hill Park was already visible behind Michael in section (6), this obviously is a mistake.

(8) Again the concrete railing (E) at Russian Hill Park can be seen behind Michael, although the limo has moved further south in the meantime and should already have passed by the railing.

(9) In the background behind Danny, a row of townhouses (G) on Hyde Street can be seen. This is a mistake, too, because the limo should have passed by these houses before the scenes (6) and (8) in southern direction.

Sections 4 – 11: The ride along Hyde Street (continued)

Annotations:

(10) In the background behind Michael, the intersection of Hyde Street and Chestnut Street can be seen now. This is a mistake again as in (11) Francisco Street is visible behind Danny, although the limo continues its ride in southern direction, and Francisco Street is located further up north than Chestnut Street.

Section 12: The second ride along Columbus Avenue

Annotations:

(12) To make things worse, the following scene suddenly features a block on

Columbus Avenue behind Ed Meyers — cf. (3; but further up in northwestern direction at the intersection of Mason and Greenwich Street close to Washington Square. The buildings (H) and (I) are visible, too. The red building appearing in the blue screen scene does not exist nowadays anymore. It was located south of the tennis courts shown above, right there on Columbus Avenue.

Section 13: The ride along Hyde Street (continued)

Annotations:

(13) Behind Danny, Chestnut Street appears again; this time, however, in the opposite direction in contrast to the earlier scene with Michael (10).

Section 14: The second ride along Columbus Avenue (continued)

Annotations:

(14) Now there is a block on Columbus Avenue in the background again — but this time again, the same block which was already shown in section (3). In the background, the Transamerica Pyramid (B) and the Columbus Tower (C) are visible. It is extremely doubtful and total nonsense with regard to the traffic how the limo could move from Hyde Street (cf. section 11) to Columbus Avenue (section 12), and then back again to Hyde Street (section 13) and back to Columbus Avenue (14) within only seconds.

Section 15: The ride along Hyde Street (continued)

Annotations:

(15) During the last section of this strange and criss - cross ride through downtown

San Francisco, suddenly Vallejo Street in western direction appears behind Michael while the limo moves along further south on Hyde Street.

On the next page, you can see an overview of the complete ride through San Francisco.
