Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Dogs Of War (1923) - Filming Locations

War Declared!

In this Hal Roach Studios comedy short, the Gang are involved in trench warfare in the neighborhood and the fighting is intense, consisting of an assortment of rotten vegetable projectiles. Fortunately, Mary is on-site serving as a nurse to tend to any injuries.

The battle scenes for this movie were filmed on location in the neighborhood just south of The Hal Roach Studios main lot. You can see the shooting stages in the background with a "West Coast Studios" sign on one of the stages. "West Coast Studios" is the phony name given to the lot - it plays a key role in the second half of the movie.

As a time capsule, Dogs Of War is fascinating as we see this Culver City neighborhood under construction, with a few homes already built but still many vacant lots. The then and now contrasts in this Quick Preview Video are stunning.
