Can anyone name this 70s or 80s movie?

Okay, something like 23 years when I was a small kid there was a movie showing on HBO. If I remember correctly, it was about a treasure hunt in Los Angeles and at one point in the movie the people use the big telescope at Griffith Observatory to find a clue. At another point in the movie some mean old lady throws somebody's radio set to the floor and breaks it.

Can't remember the name of this movie to save my life, and I tried finding the movie on IMDb but that didn't help. Does anyone know what movie this is?
Thanks so much to those who answered; I didn't expect to check my mailbox and find 3 responses right away. :D But now the question is: Who does the Best Answer award go to since there can be only one? Problems, problems....
And the next question would be what the heck happened to the Choose Best Answer button that's not showing up....

I don't recognize the movie but I started my web search at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. You might want to take a look at the list of movies that have been filmed there (scroll all the way down to "Filming location"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffith_Park_Observatory
EDIT: I think the first responder is correct if you look at the filming locations for the movie Midnight Madness (1980) here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081159/locations

Texas Bow Hunting - 8 Hunting Laws You Must Know

Texas is a great choice for your next bow hunting trip. With thousands of acres available for the hunter to choose from, he can have great success and come home with big trophies and great stories.

Rutting activity begins in Texas around October 21, with the peak of rut hitting around November 12, and in the northern regions around November 22. There are so many great choices for the hunter to find deer on the move during Texas bow season. One off-the-beaten-path location is the Angelina Dam located on the border of Jasper and Tyler County. It is close to the B.A. Steinhagen Reservoir at the fork of the Angelina and Neches Rivers. More than 12,000 acres are covered by the reservoir with about 5,000 acres open to the bow hunter. The chances here of seeing a great trophy buck are good, but there are also some other creatures to be aware of. The Angelina Dam area is home to alligators, copperheads, rattlesnakes, and deep mud to trudge through. With the proper gear though, including snake-proof boots and chaps, a hunter will surely come across evidence of some trophy bucks in the area.

It's important to be familiar with the bow hunting laws in Texas. Some of the important things to know are:

1. Crossbows are not allowed for hunting migratory game.
2. No bows or crossbows in muzzeloader season.
3. Only those licensed to carry a concealed weapon may carry one. Other concealed carry permits are not recognized, though you may carry a gun in your vehicle.
4. Bow and crossbows may be used to hunt non-game, unprotected animals.
5. Bows must have a minimum 40 pound draw for all animals except squirrel.
6. Bows with full or partial draw locks are legal during any lawful bow season.
7. Crossbows with telescopic sights may be used to hunt game animals except migratory game birds, during open and turkey season.
8. Those who can not use a regular bow due to the loss of a hand or arm may use a crossbow to hunt deer and turkey during the archery only open seasons and the Eastern spring turkey season.

Along with knowing and understanding the Texas bow hunting laws, a hunter must practice utmost safety in the field; be sure to dress in camouflage with orange visible to other hunters. With these few tips and laws in mind, a hunter can get started planning his Texas bow hunting adventure.
