Stay on Rte 160 past Pahrump for about 20 minutes - Crystal is on the left. If you drive on Rte 160 from Vegas, you reach a town called Pahrump, NV. The gas station was owned by Frank Maiolo (who has since passed away). A couple of other movies made use of the gas station (one was Delusion - 1991, starring Jennifer Rubin). You can still see the open storage port (where Robert walks up and gets a drink from the refrigerator) and the concrete pads where the filling station was. It was long closed down by 2003 when I visited. For clarification, the gas station was in Crystal Nevada on Crystal Road. Geoff was gracious enough to share this information in one of the articles he published for the Journal. He actually lived in Crystal Nevada and witnessed some of the Gas Station sequences being filmed back in 1983! He recalls Robert saying something to the effect, "It's bloody ****ing hot out here!". Going back in June for the 30th! Good god, where did 30 years go? I first learned about the Big Log video from a guy named Geoff Schumacher - he used to be the editor of the Las Vegas Journal. I did a fair amount of research and actually visited devery one of these sites during my first visit to Vegas in 2003 ~ ironically the 20 year anniversary of Big Log's 1983 release.
I was however the individual that posted the "Big Log" video filming locations information to the Wikipedia site a number of years back.
First off, I have no information about the "In The Mood" video.
