The chase scene in Sudden Impact through the pre-earthquake Pacific Garden Mall is now a historical snapshot.
I always enjoy the final boss falling from the rollercoaster and getting impaled on the unicorn as the merry-go-round is about 1/2 mile away and has no such unicorn...
Hitchcock poked around Santa Cruz a lot (had a house in Scotts Valley, I believe). "Welcome to Buzzsaw" with Matthew Broderick and John C Reily was being filmed in Boulder Creek when I first moved to Santa Cruz. De Laveaga park used to be a silent movie production house and zoo (what else do you do with your exotic movie animals). Remnants of the zoo grounds remain. Zasu Pitts house is next door to the Nick, downtown.
Not shot in Santa Cruz: "Ten Inch Hero" with John Doe from X.
"Piper moves to Santa Cruz, California to go to the Institute of Art. When she was 15 she gave birth to a daughter, but had to put her up for adoption because she was too young to raise her. Years later she sees an article about a girl she thinks is her daughter, who lives in Santa Cruz, and applies for a job in a sandwich shop."
