Bro I grew up through the 80s and 90s all through the valley. I left Woodland Hills right after Northridge earthquake pretty cool Now I'm in Reseda in this video You was just one street over where I live pretty cool Memory Lane bro keep up the good work been watching you for a few years now😊
This is my favorite topic of this channel. Sure you have your downtown and Hollywood history...but this is the VALLEY...home of the Valley Girls, California speak and culture. I have a feeling there's more coming
Yes, please. Part 2. As a teenager, I worked at the Reseda walk-in theater. Late 70s. Seen lots of movies there, too. And the Reseda Country Club was such a nice venue for concerts during the early 80s.
Will be visiting my daughter soon, who lives near Hollywood Blvd. Can’t wait to see all the locations you covered in her area. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Driving around the valley without having to actually "drive" around the valley! Thanks for going out for us Kurt! Some great memories and locations as always! Appreciate this amazing Valley series! 👻🙏🏽 Side note: that Tarzana Square sign was VERY vintage 80s..trip into the past with Round Table Pizza and all
I have never heard of or seen half the movies you were talking about, but its cool to see how many locations are within such a confined area, and for the movies I did know of great to see. You should make a part two to this one.
The Pee Wee Video was awesome i grew up on Pee Wee and i follow everyone u had cameo in that video that was really cool and well done. Thanks for these videos I'm a 80's baby and seeing these videos blow my mind so thanks again continue making these great videos God bless and stay safe.🍻
Great video as always. When you were driving on woodman in Arleta by the 99c store, I know you must have made a left on Nordhoff st. You were literally about a half mile from the Marty's house in back to the future. Hopefully you get to do another continuation video to this one. Love when you do valley videos, they remind me of a time when I was a kid and used to drive around the valley with my parents.
I just subscribed as I just found your awesome videos! I'm 47 and lived in the valley my whole life. My dad had a '78 Ford station wagon and every weekend we'd go to Fedco in Van Nuys, where I'd get my Gumby gummy bears, which is now a Target. Kids in those days man, we devoured those movies and played them over and over! I never knew so many locations were right around the corner, but there's a feeling, a certain valley feeling that although they never say where it was filmed, you just knew. Lots of good memories and excellent, excellent channel! Keep 'em coming!
Kurt Crucial your videos are a Time Machine. You calling out the streets brings me right back into my days in the valley. Thank you for these memories my friend.
It's a nuisance if you live in LA. Not a "trip". Seeing your liquor store? your block? big f'in deal. Gettting those notices pasted up anywhere all over the city every year for decades and decades "notice of filming" means a mini town of grips gaffers and trucks invades, bothers you, keeps you from using the stores at the sites. You figure most everything you saw was filmed here - TV and movies, thousands of productions every year so.... I never saw ANY of the shows or whatever he was talking about either which proves my point of how annoying the industry is to people here. 🎬
@@garibaldi54 Nahh, you let others drive your plane?? We done kicked out hollywood from filming on our blocks years ago. It's why a lot of productions don't film here anymore, too expensive and too many people like me that don't want 'em. 👀
OMG, I haven't thought about "The Stoned Age" in literally decades at this point. Thanks for the reminder, I'm looking it up right now, if it ain't streaming some place torrents here I come. Lol
I absolutely LOVE these videos. I love filming location videos and also love seeing the valley. I live in the Midwest but I am obsessed with being in California. So these videos are like mini virtual vacations for me!!
Corvette Summer had filming locations on Van Nuys Blvd. That movie with Mark Hamill. I live in Vegas now, but you sure brought me back to my youth. I graduated from Birmingham High School. I worked at a grocery store on the corner of Vanowen and White Oak that was used in a few different movies and tv commercials. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I don't live in the valley but because I recognize so many places from films I feel like I have been there my whole life. Thanks for the videos, keep up the good work.
Great video from my old stomping grounds, from 1949 to 1961......when you were going north on Balboa after passing BHS. I lived 1 block west from Balboa on Paso Robles ave right before you got to Saticoy, when you turned left...went to Gault st. & Stagg st elementary schools, from 54 to 61...then moved to TX & OK, then on to San Fran. in 65...Great times!
Hi, watching you from Italy, i got your age more or less and i wanna tell you that it's always interesting to see the places you show on video. Well done as usual, and sorry for my not so good english. See you!
Man, L.A. is just riddled with filming locations. Which obviously makes sense. Even way back when when the film industry moved out there, it was for the weather and diversity of locations, so they could just shoot in the sane place easily. I’ve lived in the Orlando area for the past 26 years, and spent time here even before that. Although we have a pretty tiny amount of filming locations that I could point out, I could drive all over our metro area that’s about 50 miles from north to south and 30 miles or so east to west, and point out a million places that I’ve had personal things happen. Both good and bad. Or point out what used to be in all of those areas too.
Enjoyed the Hell outa this one. Memories of the Valley and Magic Mtn. Magic Mtn holds so much early 80's magic for me. Looking for girls, Motley Crue Tshirt, smoking cigs. There was a cigarette machine up on top of the hill next to some restrooms, Bingo . The NewRo's smoked cloves. That smell still takes me back.
I have a very vague memory when all of the Zodies turned into Targets . 22:04 That always bugged me that they were leaving the Valley at the end , but were supposedly going to the "Valley Sheraton" . Once again aexcellent video
As soon as you turned down Van Nuys bvld, you passed the bar I was running for a couple years (across from Best buy/Gelsons). Owned by a few brothers that are all actors with around a couple hundred credits to there name. Great times there. I'm probably going back to work there. You were also around the corner from the Cadillac dealership that was in the opening of Commando when Billy Duke stole it and drove down venture.
This was awesome! You sure know how to take us down memory lane! Fun fact: I live in the apartment building that's shown as the exterior apartment building of Johnny Lawrences in the series Cobra Kai. ;)
You were so close to my neighborhood. Ok, I grew up near Nordhoff and Balboa. Here's my list, Nordhoff over the wash just East of Balboa is where Arnold first found John Conner in T2. Roughly a block away at Havenhurst and Plummer is where the semi truck went into the wash in T2. Also, Balboa and Parthenia in the background is Arnold and John Conner on the motorcycle with the AM/PM in the background. Also, at that intersection was the Fish n Chips restaurant where Brad had to deal with the redheaded twins in Fast Times... and don't forget Brad driving to IBM on a street called Chatsworth in Granada Hills driving East when he stops at the light and the blonde laughs at him. This was at Chatsworth and White Oak. Don't forget at the north top of Reseda Blvd. in Northridge, where it dead ends into a park. ET had one scene there. We use to drink beer there and called it ET Park. Lol. I'm sure you already know these locations but just in case. Trying to help out. Love your location videos!!
So cool! You came very close to the old Osmond family house location on Nordhoff south of Woodman, and Marty McFly's "Back to the Future House" on Roslyndale Ave., less than a mile from the old Osmond House. They also filmed the new stereo shop scene at the end of "Boogie Nights" in the shopping center at Woodman Ave. and Nordhoff. Ritchie Valens' junior high is just on the other side of the 5 freeway on Terra Bella, about 1 mile from the Back to the Future house.
Wow! You drove all over! You missed the pulp fiction pawn shop so close to the karate kid apt! And i totally didnt know that the T2 bank was there! Great vid, you got a sub from me!
Whenever I watch an old T.V. show and see a familiar looking area I can usually find it within 5 minutes on Google Maps street views. Two different episodes they had a scene from Barnaby Jones directly across the street from the Burger King just north of where Corky's Restaurant is/was. There is a park there with a few buildings and one of the episodes the building was a Police Station for a small town. As I started typing this you were at the shopping center where the ZZ Top video was filmed and you are correct. I actually lived on Cedros just a couple of blocks away and saw them filming it.
Bro I grew up through the 80s and 90s all through the valley. I left Woodland Hills right after Northridge earthquake pretty cool
Now I'm in Reseda in this video
You was just one street over where I live pretty cool Memory Lane bro keep up the good work been watching you for a few years now😊
Awesome video once again. It’s crazy how many filming locations you were able to get in such a short drive.
Thanks for another great one. 👍
This is my favorite topic of this channel. Sure you have your downtown and Hollywood history...but this is the VALLEY...home of the Valley Girls, California speak and culture. I have a feeling there's more coming
Yes, please. Part 2. As a teenager, I worked at the Reseda walk-in theater. Late 70s. Seen lots of movies there, too. And the Reseda Country Club was such a nice venue for concerts during the early 80s.
Reseda Country Club 👍 saw The Ramones there in 1983
Will be visiting my daughter soon, who lives near Hollywood Blvd. Can’t wait to see all the locations you covered in her area. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Yes please, part two!!! And did you say there’s more to come about Zapped? That would be awesome!

Kurt your killing it brother!!!!
Great video. You were so close to my high school..van nuys high...which is otherwise known as Ridgemont High!!!

Must have been a trip watching all those movies and recognizing the places as your neighbourhood.

@@cuda426hemi Well its pretty obvious that if you don't want to be annoyed by filming probably best not to live in L.A.
@@garibaldi54 Nahh, you let others drive your plane?? We done kicked out hollywood from filming on our blocks years ago. It's why a lot of productions don't film here anymore, too expensive and too many people like me that don't want 'em. 👀

Great video. Thanks Kurt. Look forward to the next one.

OMG, I haven't thought about "The Stoned Age" in literally decades at this point. Thanks for the reminder, I'm looking it up right now, if it ain't streaming some place torrents here I come. Lol

Awesome - totally awesome!!

How was The Valley in those years ?
My doctor's office was in Tarzana Square. I'd forgotten that until I saw this. Yeah... Would love to see another one of these.
Very well done as usual.
Hi, watching you from Italy, i got your age more or less and i wanna tell you that it's always interesting to see the places you show on video. Well done as usual, and sorry for my not so good english. See you!

The Stoned Age is a guilty pleasure of mine
The shopping center off Ventura in Encino was used in Poltergeist 2*
