Apparently it was built in the Los Angeles area in 1990 and was used for exteriors AND interiors for the movie. From what I can tell, after filming ended, it was moved to Florida and stood on the Residential Street portion of the Backlot Tour at Disney-MGM Studios. It seems that some time in the spring or early summer of 1996 it was removed (bulldozed?) to make room for a "George Of The Jungle" set piece. That attraction has since been replaced (in 2005) with the Lights! Motors! Action! Stunt show. Hopefully some part of the incredible Bulldog set was saved. If you know more about the Bulldog, please reply! Check out my Rocketeer web page: http://edsrocketeerpage.blogspot.com/

If you're interested, drop me an email. Your blog link doesn't seem to be working. You can email me at dualedges@yahoo.com Rob

I've begun my web page as a way to collect photos and info about the movie specifically. I've been gathering photos of icons like the GeeBee, The Autogyro and the Bulldog - I don't know much about "net-iquette", but I've tried hard to give credit to the photographers/sources for the photos.

You say that the prop includes a letter of authenticity from the stage manager where the second full-size Bulldog Cafe was located. Who was the Stage Manager and where was it located? EddyC

Im not sure how they got the life size replica. It has green astro-turf grass glued to the feet..I know its not the same one used in the movie because the face is different than the movie version..
