10 Film & TV Locations That Attracted The WRONG Sort Of Attention

We all know the iconic scene from Vince Gilligan’s landmark crime series: Walter White returns home with a family size pizza to smooth things over with Skyler and keep up appearances with his son Walt Jr (I refuse to call him “Flynn”). When Skyler refuses him entry, Walt flings the pizza, landing it square on the roof of the house. It’s a masterful, one-take effort by actor Bryan Cranston and one that fans have been trying to recreate ever since, much to the chagrin of the house’s actual owners.

In the early days, cars would line the street outside the White’s fictional home, causing parking nightmares for the homeowners and their neighbours.

At the peak of the pizza tossing, Frank Sandoval, who runs a Breaking Bad tour company regularly had to clean discarded pies from the roof, whilst the owner’s daughter complained that fans would trespass on their property, taking photos and stealing rocks as souvenirs.

Eventually the show’s creator Vince Gilligan attempted to shut down these anti-social fans by quipping “There is nothing original, or funny, or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady's roof".

That didn't stop them though, and the homeowners erected a 6ft iron fence in 2017 - 7 years after the original scene aired! - to dissuade these keen Heisenberg acolytes from paying their cheese and tomato tributes.
