In the above still, the character of Joe (Tim Allen) from 2001 film "Joe Somebody," speeds down the street to Scarett's Martial Arts for some training. His car in the above still is traveling southbound in front of 6627 Penn Avenue South in Richfield, Minnesota. This is directly across the street from the Scarett's location. Below is the same spot in August of 2014.
Tim Allen's character is standing in front of the location used as the ficticious Scarett's Martial Arts, located at 6621 Penn Avenue South. Below is the same spot in 2014. I spoke to the owner of this location and he said the hand-painted Scarett's logo was still on the door up until the first part of 2014. He also said the weathered-looking blinds used for the film are still hanging today, as you can see below.
In the above still, Tim Allen's character peers through the Scarett's window; below in 2014.
Above is a wide shot from the film taken from the median in the middle of the street. It's a busy street and I was not about to go stand out there for a photo but I did the best I could in the image below (2014).
The above image is a still showing the interior of Scarett's Martial Arts. The owner of the location told me all interiors were shot on a sound stage and not at this location. He also mentioned he was invited for a visit of the sound stage set and explained how surreal it was to see his shop and not physically be at his shop.
Thank you Homestead Pickin' Parlor for your hospitality!
