Whats with the numerous references to Burbank?


I grew up there in the 80's. Other than NBC studios and Warner Bros, It was a sleepy town.

Probably where the mob dumped bodies, since it was such a sleepy area. Also, wasn't there a small airport there too? Probably easier to get drugs in and out of LA in a tony airport instead of a big one like LA.

Warner distributed this movie. A-ha!

But it being a sleepy town, it makes sense that certain activity would take place there. The heat won’t be comin’ around the corner for the mob in Burbank like it would in a larger area
