My good friend's Dad was a structural engineer who was hired to help build the one-eyed Willy pirate ship set. My friend even got to visit the set as a little kid, he was probably 5 years old at the time, so he barely remembers it, but still pretty awesome!
Prove it
@@lisandrorodriguez4235 lol how would you like me to prove it, exactly? 🤣
@@lisandrorodriguez4235relax troll 😅
Clown like this don’t even have a pic of themselves how would they even proof such a statement like that lol his lying
@@lisandrorodriguez4235 suck it
Very cool
Thats was awesome! Goonies is one of my favourite childhood movies. Thank you for sharing with us!! 🥃🖖🏻🥳
My pleasure. Thank you!
My father was an IATSE Local 44 propmaker for over 30 years. I followed him into the business in 1995. One of my first big features was Batman and Robin on Stage 16 at WB. I spent 13 years of my life on soundstages building sets for film and TV. Everyone in the comments has this romanticized idea of these stages as fantastic places where movie magic happens. When you work there that idea wears off real quick. They are big,hot,dirty,smelly, warehouses.
Only smelly next to stinky coworkers.
Smelly? You should expect it smells like wood and paint constantly
@@edz8067On top of wood and paint, you add dirt, dust, greens (plant matter), a hundred sweaty people, an unfiltered tank of water, literal horse shit, and many thousands of watts of lighting. Then you shut the door while filming is taking place, and reduce the ventilation. I have worked on stages that had turf put down that was watered overnight.
Sound stages smell dank if you are lucky.
I absolutely agree, but we romanticize about we don’t know. Its like when I talk to people about being in the Army and at war. Their perception is completely different from what it is actually like. This here I think is more about the movie and the props and what they invoke from our memories of that period of time in our lives. The building is a symbol of what was created there. I believe you that the conditions were horrible.
To have worked in such an iconic soundstage dor prob the 2nd most popular movie studio in the world and to have worked on sets such as batman etc is fukin amazing what other productions did u work on 👍😊
Man, movies are just so amazing; the way they can turn empty rooms into sights and sounds that literally change lives and stay with us forever. There must've been quite an energy stepping into such a historic space of cinematic history. I've always liked the feeling in the air on film sets. Very cool stuff, dude.
Awesome video Kurt! 🤘😎🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
born in 81,ok i was a kid but i remebmer a lot,plus i had older brothers.but what was the best thing of the 80's...THE METAL
Me to
Best movie ever 👌 👏 good Job
Thank you
Wow that's pretty cool, never even knew jacking up the building was even the option. But of course the history of the building is the cherry on top. Thanks for sharing.
Love them 80s baby! Way to go!!!😲💯💫👍🤍!
Cool👍
That is so freakin cool!
Thank you Kurt,seeing that meant alot to me!!
Awesome, Kurt! My fav 80's movie.
Another awesome video, cheers Kurt!
OMG!! Stellar!! ❤
So much history in these old soundstages
i love the magic of soundstages...
Golden Age in entertainment - music, movies, TV... Goonies and Back to the Future were PEAK 1980's movies.
I wish Elon would hurry up already with that time machine.
I would go back to the 80's without thinking twice about it.
😂
@@likilikiki I could build the machine if I had a nickel for every time someone wrote something like that. And many of them were comfortable never returning.
There must be millions of people that _deeply_ enjoy that time. Millions.
Awesome 😎
That’s awesome
So cool!! Thanks for sharing
All of this is astounding. Wow so amazing.
My grandfather and uncle worked at Warner Bros for over 35yrs and they were part of the crew that help build the pirate ship. I have pictures of them all kneeling in front of the ship.
I wanna see those pictures.
What a dream. So badass.
So cool that you were able to go into soundstage 16. I did the WB tour several years and it they mentioned about SS 16 the information from the Goonies, but obviously couldn't tour because of a production occurring at the time. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
It’s basically a huge gymnasium for movie magic. Crazy construction with the removable floor. Such a crazy set 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Omg thank you for sharing this with us! I love your channel so much! ♥️
Hi
Very cool video. Love this movie!
That's so cool, Goonies is my fav 80s movie as well, fair play Kurt
The goonies are good enough for me!
Good enough for me... ahhh yaaa ya ya yeah!
This Sound stage would make an amazing AR experience! being able to flick through the different productions there.
Wow! That was awesome. Thanks once again for the great work 🇮🇪
I saw it in the theater when I was a child and have the movie poster framed in my house.
That’s awesome man!!!
It was a cool experience
Nice job Kurt. HUGE Goonies fan here. I’ve always been aware of this but haven’t made it to WB yet. TY for sharing.
So cool to see inside the sound stage most will never see! Thanks a million Kurt! 👻👊🏽
Out of all the movies shot there, the pirate ship in the Goonies is the coolest scene. Nice to get a look inside #16
Great videos. Love them
Seeing this movie in the theater on the weekend it came out back in June 1985 was one of the highlights of my childhood. Definitely a "Name the Most '80s Moment of Your Life" moment. Or, does seeing Back to the Future less than a month later top it?
This was the first movie I can still remember the day at the theater with friends pretty well and coming home and trying to make the ship out of cardboard boxes. E.T. was my first movie, but I can only recall small parts of that day since I was just 5 at the time.
i live next to where they filmed it, it’s nothing special. the city sucks, it’s small and smells like fish, there’s no places to eat, get over it.
I like to say thank for the content that you put out and this vlog that is truly awesome
I wonder if the writer strikes freed it to be able to get that chance to check it out, amazing great job like always.👍
Amazing! Great stuff, man. I'd love to see the inside of that one someday!
It's crazy to see they raised the sound stage to make it bigger in addition to removable flooring for a water tank. It would explain the flying buttress on the outside of the building which is needed to support the new height.
You are killing it with the new videos. Keep it up!
That is extremely cool. Major jealous. That building has seen a lot of amazing things over it's nearly 100 year life (also incredible). It is truly amazing what the VFX wizards and set construction crews can do with sound stages. Absolutely amazing.
So cool! Great Job! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
I watch the goonies twice over this past weekend. The local theater had it for five dollars and then when the kids came back from their dads house my stepson wanted to watch it so we watched a half of it again later at night before bedtime I wear looks at me and says, are you watching this again? And I said heck yeah I am.
This is so cool, so many great movies filmed here. And Goonies is one of my all-time favorite films. That place looks huge for sure!
One of my favorite childhood movies of all time.
Thank you for sharing.... Love your channel man. You bring back fond memories.
Next to some Ponch and John episodes. This is my favorite movie of my youth til Rad came out.😊
This was pretty cool and coincidental. I just watched Goonies at Flix Brewhouse on Sunday.
Great insider information.
That must have been an amazing feeling being in there. Good video.
Nice!
How cool! So far I have only seen the outside filming locations. Extremely nice addition to the Goonies.
very cool. thanks curt.
That's an iconic soundstage for sure!
I used to work at Sony Pictures who own MGM studios. Their largest stage also has a plaque listing all the movies shot in it, including The Wizard of Oz. I worked on that stage many times for Stuart Little and Hollow Man. They also have a water tank stage.
The stage you mention at Sony (MGM) is Stage 15: 310 feet long by 134 feet wide by 40 feet high and is larger than the above Warner Bros Stage 16 which is 238 feet long by 134 feet wide by 65 feet high; if the floor is removed it takes the height to almost 90 feet high depending on the needs of the film.
the stage with the tank that can be filled is where Esther Williams aqua musicals were filmed I belive thats stage 25 also used to be an outdoor saucer tank she used as well
Legendary
Cool vid! Feel like for Karate Kid 2 it was the end when Chozan and Daniel fight.
Most likely
Wow. I’m pretty jealous you’ve been in there, you’ve shared space with One eyed Willy. The fratellis. The Goonies. Thanks for sharing and making the 9 year old me back in 1985 come out bursting all over again!
this is awesome
Awesomeness.!
The stage looks bigger when the floor is removed. At the east end of the stage is a giant ramp that goes down into what becomes the tank.
amazingggg
Cool dude!
For whatever reason I thought the set was still going to have the Goonies stuff in it 😂
Epic , they obviously did an e trembly good job and yes a big part of80’s culture and our childhood is the Goonies
I've been in that sound stage years ago. I was on a tour and I guess nothing was shooting in there at the time. It's a popular stage for the water capabilities it has. It was a truly surreal experience being in there! Goonies never say die!
My uncle worked on The Goonies and I got to visit the set while they were filming I met the cast mr Spielberg and Richard Donner
Stage 16 =a magic stage
Ive been in that sound stage. I worked for a security systems company that held a WB contract. It was during the perfect storm filming and I remember water being everywhere even outside the stage doors.
Wow! Thanks for sharing kurt! I'm thinking the scenes for the karate kid 2 would probably be the storm or castle scenes
Thank you for watching. I'd say you're most likely right
“Hey, 80s Life! Do the ‘Truffle Shuffle’!”
Best thing I've heard today
Ty bro for this information ( The Goonies ) should get more recognition now a-days even at its time of release it wasn’t well known and people thought cheap movie but even tho the yr is 2023 it’s part of history and this movie should get the reputation it should deserve this movie even to this day basically the only movie that has boobie traps, map, items to be used to find the treasure, pirate ship with treasure we need more movies like the goonies 💯
Pretty cool. Hopefully I get a chance to go to WB one day. I don't have the slightest idea what a sound stage looks like in person. But it did look small. But when it comes to that I know nothing what the average size is or anything of the sort. We appreciate you sharing Kurt. Keep up the great work!!!
It's Kurt
@@mfburns7909 my apologies. He's probably like who is Kirk... 😂 I'll fix it now
Thank you . i didnt know that .
As for "Karate Kid " I think this is where the tournament scene in the first movie was filmed.
Damn I miss the 80’s. 😢
I worked on "Batman Returns" in that stage. It was the Gotham City set.
Nice! But 89 Batman is still the best!
I been in there. I stole nails out of the walls. It was fantastic.
I work in the Medical field and I just so happen to work with Dr James Khan in Santa Barbara. He is a novelist who writes books and directs television series. He was the director for 90210. Anyways he wrote the novel for The Goonies and he told me he walked the whole set and just happens to have the original map from the goonies movie, the one that they found in the attic. I asked him Dr Khan how did you get it he said " It just feel into my pocket lol he also wrote the novel Return of the Jedi. and many more True story 100 ... look him up DR James Khan.
Wow!!!! Ghostbusters 1,2 Batman the goonies and many more classics.
How cool!! I would love to see something actually being filmed but they don't make movies like that anymore! What's the biggest movie in recent years? Meg 2? Even Indiana Jones doesn't feel big like back in the 80's when everything was something truly special.
One of my favorite movies! Mama you've been Bad!
My guess would be Viggo's art museum interior on Ghostbusters 2.
The Hurricane scene on Karate Kid 2.
Reclusive scavenger claims, " I have the key , to One Eye Willy " Love this stuff. Thank you brother. keep up the great work ! Would it be possible to film the location for Chopping Mall ??
Cool, I wonder what scenes from Disclosure were filmed in there 🤔.
My cousin worked at WB studios mid '00s and got my gf & I guests passes on the lot. We walked around the stages some were locked, some weren't. The open sets we walked into were Cold Case, ER (the main hallway way so small/narrow), & Poseidon (mentioned in this clip). I asked an employee what movie was being filmed, as there was a huge ship for the set; he stated Poseidon & that the stage next door (16) had the cap-sized model & he told us excitedly like we were familiar w/ the original film, had no clue what he was talking about lol but responded intriguing.
Who else thought they still had that ship up and that's the reason why they don't allow many people in it. Could you imagine how many more people would visit if that ship was still up. I bet the people that work to build those sets get a big laugh when the movies come out because they know everything that went into making it. It's just like actors that will say they have never seen a movie they have been in
They Filmed Altered States 1980 Annie 1982 Firefox 1982 And Blue Thunder 1983
We got a chance to go inside there.... its massive. Ghostbuster 1 & 2 was shot their too
Wow, did they say how many thousands of gallons of water it took to fill it for the Goonies? Would be interesting to see how they also rigged the water slides and water falls.
Corey Feldman has said Michael Jackson also visited the set during filming.
Cool you got to look inside and empty hanger.
I read that someone anonymously bought that pirate ship and it’s current location is unknown.
Everything I've ever heard said that it was destroyed because no one wanted it. That would be amazing if it still existed. But I doubt it.
nostalgia is negative energy, it makes you look back rather than forward
the T Rex breakout scene from Jurassic Park was filmed there. pretty cool.
Imagine how depressing it was to deconstruct the pirate ship and render the soundstage back to neutral after filming was complete
