Americal Pie II had a pier lighthouse in the scenes at the party house. When watching the movie, you picture it being a Great Lakes lighthouse. Turns out it is a fictitious lighthouse created by a set designer, and placed on the end of the Malibu Pier. The original lighthouse was too heavy for the end of the pier, so, rather than the studio pay the expense of strengthening the pier, they built a smaller lighthouse. The lighthouse was even moved ashore during winter storms.
