==Film industry== The City of Industry is the home of the [[Puente Hills Mall]], a major shopping center that was the Twin Pines/Lone Pine Mall in the ''[[Back to the Future]]'' movie series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bigwaste.com/bttf/twin_pines_mall.shtml|title=The Back to the Future Tour: Twin Pines Mall|website=www.bigwaste.com|access-date=August 31, 2017}}</ref> Adjacent to the mall's property is a [[SpeedZone (amusement park)|SpeedZone]] entertainment center, which was featured in a prominent scene of [[Kevin Smith]]'s ''[[Clerks II]]''. A former [[IKEA]] store (opened as the first [[STΓR]] location in 1987) located north of the Puente Hills Mall and across the [[California State Route 60|State Route 60]] freeway was used as a shooting location for the final fight scene in ''[[Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005 film)|Mr. & Mrs. Smith]]''. Its exterior was renovated so it could be used for both exterior and interior filming. Another movie called ''[[Fun with Dick and Jane (2005 film)|Fun with Dick and Jane]]'' was filmed as a fictional retail store KostMart (a parody of [[Costco Wholesale]]). The building was later demolished. The IKEA store later moved to a bigger location in [[Covina, California]], which opened in 2003.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20130502005509/en/IKEA-Covina-Celebrates-10-Years-Community |title=IKEA Covina Celebrates 10 Years in the Community |date=May 2, 2013}}</ref> The City of Industry also features a fake [[McDonald's]] restaurant that is used strictly for filming movies and commercials,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tips/getAttraction.php3?tip_AttractionNo==2293 |title=City of Industry, CA - Fake TV McDonald's |website=RoadsideAmerica.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170901022842/http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/2293 |archive-date=September 1, 2017}}</ref> which is inside the 30-mile [[studio zone]].<ref>{{cite web |title=30-Mile Studio Zone and Secondary Studio Zone Interactive Map |url=http://film.ca.gov/locations/interactive-map/ |website=film.ca.gov |access-date=May 29, 2020}}</ref> Also in the city is Vineland Drive-In, one of only two operating [[drive-in theater]]s in Los Angeles and [[Orange County, California|Orange County]]. The city-owned [[Industry Hills Expo Center]] is also used for filming.
