Ive wanted to do this episode for a few years now. Even tho Vasquez Rocks have been filmed and shown countless times and mentioned as The Gorn location it was never properly documented scene for scene . I felt this task needed to be tackled. Hope you enjoy . Download the parody song HERE www.jamesrtramontana.com/products/613149-wootrek . Thanks to EPK for the camera help th-cam.com/users/erikpetercarlson .

adamthewoo 🖖You always noticed little details like the cars on the freeway great video man live long and prosper Star Trek over Star Wars any day 💚That being said I love both franchises I just think Star Trek better
adamthewoo you sir are truly the best, I appreciate all the time and effort u put in to make these sweet vlogs. Good work 👍
adamthewoo the majestic lives
Star Trek over Star Wars?
No. No! That's not true! That's impossible!
Search your feelings; you know it to be true!
NOOOOOOO!
LOL, Mark, I like both as well, but am much more a Star Wars freak than a Trekkie.
You mentioned wanting to do this at Dragon Con when we ran into that guy in the Gorn costume! Glad you finally made it!!
(And now I'll cast my vote once again for E.T. locations ;) )
Thank you so much for this. I go about once a month , and it took me over 20 years of visits to actually compel myself to look closely and find the spot where Kirk fires the cannon. You found it much more quickly and did good research. But I will tell you and I believe you will agree that it is a special joy when you find each of those locations. I go sometimes and just sit there on the rock where Kirk fires the cannon. Thank you again for having so much fun and connecting to all the people who love nostalgia.
I retitled this video with Kirk vs Gorn simply because the vast majority of people know it as that and not it's real name "Arena" . As stated in the description it's correct episode name is mentioned . For all the Star Trek purists out there
So, the old title is Gorn with the Wind.
I caught that you renamed it. Makes sense. Most people wouldn't know it by the title "Arena" anyway.
adamthewoo HI Adam ,Here is an awesome movie filming locations video and areas that you should check out they are located in The California and Tuscon Arizona Areas th-cam.com/video/WCcp_NfDLOc/w-d-xo.html
But I bet lots of people drive by Vasquez rocks every day on the freeway and still don’t know it’s history or name.
adamthewoo This was awesome Adam. You always do a great job on stuff.
Your research on details was impressive........most impressive! Loved the props and especially the music!
Tks Again Adam . One of my favorite Episodes . You Served it Well .
Once again Adam you made a great video!! I'm a Life long Star Trek fan. And this was awesome!! Thank you Adam !! 🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻❤️
This is AWESOME! I'm so excited for this video! THANK YOU for making it! You made my month! :D

You Trekies you lol

Exactly Eric! #startrek4life!
I dont know if you got my messages about the tulsa state fair but message me back you will have a Employee ALL ACCESS PASS!!! even back stage with all the bands! hit me up i msg you my email-in a msg on this channel...
Saw this episode on it's first showing when I was 20 years old. My future husband and I bonded over our love of Star Trek. Brought back lots of memories. Many thanks.
I love the amount of work you put into these videos. It shows!
I try to go down the rabbit hole pretty far on the filming location ones
I was never into Star Trek but I watched your vid anyway. I gotta tell ya, by far, you make the best filming location videos I’ve ever seen. It’s truly amazing how you find everything.
Man such an awesome subject I love Star Trek. Thanks for all that you do.
No problem . Thanks for watching . Wanted to do this one for a long time
Yea I wanted to check it out when I was out there in January but just didn't have time.
@@adamthewoo u dead???
look up ec henry for extreme discussion
I am one of many who Thank you for putting a bright spot in our day,,, thank you for the entertainment!
Very well put together! The props, the gorn man, your attention to detail, everything...a masterpiece!
This is one of my favorite Adam the Woo videos of all time!
I've seen a couple people document this spot as the Gorn battle site but never to this detail. I'll bet William Shatner himself would enjoy watching this and remembering his time spent filming this iconic episode more than half a century ago. Always great seeing adam and knowing he's still out there showing us such fantastic sites as this. I am disabled (Parkinson's) and homebound and the internet is the only way I can experience the world. Thank you Adam for your wonderful adventures around this great country :>)
I just found your channel here! Thanks Adam it’s great to see your videos again. And also, thanks for showing us one episode of my favorite shows ever!
I remember watching this episode for the first time in the early 70's (around age 5) and being scared shitless of the Gorn. Def one of my favorite TOS episodes. Thanks for making this vid!
You guys, he didn’t stop making videos. His new channel is The Daily Woo
Awesome job Adam. You boldly went where no Woo has gone before. Thanks.
My husband and I visited Vasquez Rocks a number of years ago. He was thrilled to finally check the Rocks off his bucket list!
Adam, this is increidable. Thank you so much for sharing this; it's wonderful to see different film and television production locations. =)
I’m less Then a minute in and it’s already flipping awesome. Greg is really going to love this! Good day Adam the Woo and everyone too. Beautiful drone footage!
Yes, MFJ and I are loving it! (And every Star Trek fan too!)
Lol I knew you guys would
Hey waz up TJ and George! From watching that Drone footage at the end it really makes me want to get one, next on my list.
Who remembers Adams old intro about his "zany adventures"?
Excellent job you did and awesome help with filming and music.... I really enjoyed this. Love your enthusiasm. 🤗
Hi Adam good to see you & live long and prosper
🖖
a10warthog61 he has another channel.
a10warthog61 lmao no he didn’t
Every time you do a film shoot location, I always go and watch the show or movie. Nice work adam..Cant wait to see your next project.
This is classic adamthewoo. These type of videos is what built Adam's fan base, before TheDailyWoo.
Yeah I haven't watch him in 5 years.
This is a great video! I got lost in this episode as a kid in the 60's and to see the location detail allI can say is Bravo!!
Adam I've been subscribed for over 5 years, and seeing you on ice poseidons stream blew my mind and made my night! You are awesome bro :)
This is so awesome man. 'Arena' is my favorite episode of the original series and the Gorn is one of my favorite Star Trek monsters.
Such a classic episode of TOS... It's amazing how so much of the Vasquez Rocks location still looks exactly the same as it did back then, to this day! And this shot-for-shot recapturing of it, including the view of the surrounding scenery from that high precipice, is nothing short of spectacular! Love it!
Appreciate that. Thank you . Glad you enjoyed it
adamthewoo You're very welcome! And thank YOU for all the awesome content. :)
Well in geological time the filming was only like 2 seconds ago lol
D S That's true, lol. :)
One of Adam's best episodes. Star Trek could tell a good story without spending millions of dollars.
I loved this recreation and like so many others, it was my favorite Star Trek episode too. You deserve a Tribble and some Romulan Ale for this one! Thanks for the memories.
Great video Adam, thank you for all of your hard work.
I just got the lunch and was able to finish it. Wow! I’m putting this in my top five of yours. Thanks for sharing my friend and thanks for all the inspiration
Thanks Jay . Was a blast putting it together
I could sure tell you had a blast. I first knew about this episode of Star Trek from Bill and Ted’s bogus journey. I’m sure you remember that one too? LOL
Now THAT is entertainment! Thanks , Adam! I never ever received a notification for this video. If you hadn’t have mentioned it on your live stream....I would have missed out entirely.
The first time my sister saw the Gorn, it freaked her out and she Shatner pants!
Todd E Walnuts What did Spock find in the toilet? The captain's log 🤣
Todd E Walnuts 😂😂😂
Mike E my favorite joke ever!!!!!!
This was the next best thing to being there. I think you covered it all and excellently done. This was my favorite episode as a kid and the rock formation has always been in the back of my mind as a place to visit someday.
Adam this is what TH-cam is about, I support your channel 1000% keep up the great work!!!
Thanks so much really appreciate that
Awesome job Adam. Enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward to what ever you have next. I know it will be Awesome
That Gorn mask though... I think you have the mannerisms down pat! :D
Just watched an old Clint Wallker movie with the exact same rock as the back drop probably filmed 50yrs before Star Trek episode
This, my friend, is truly outstanding!!!!!!!!! Love it to pieces.
I think I'm one of the ones whose been saying, "Film at Vasquez Rocks," and you sure did! This is my fav Star Trek episode and you paid it a great tribute. Too too fun!!!!!!!
Now, head up the 395 and visit the Alabama Hills.
Loved the video, Adam. I look forward to your awesome content
Thanks buddy
Hey Adam!! I was excited to watch your vlog. I have not really watched any Star Trek before but I loved your vlog. You did a great job of matching up the locations where parts of the movie were filmed and that takes skill. I always enjoy the humor that you add into your vlogs. Great job! Like your shirt also. Love you Adam!!
One of my fave all time shows have the complete DVD set, thanks for taking us behind the scenes of 50+ years ago !
Heck yea . I do as well and have been watching them in order . Love TOS Star Trek
adamthewoo
Thanks much for the reply...have you seen STAR TREK CONTINUES on You Tube? ...they did a nice job sticking to original show themes on a crowd funded production ...they do a nice job...check it out
That was awesome!!! Brought me back, remember that episode very well. Watched it with my dad who passed 5 years ago he was the biggest Star Trek fan ever!!! Thanks Adam.
For those who are asking where he is, he uploads DAILY on his other channel; The Daily Woo
Awww I miss your videos and your theme song so much
a NEW WOOOOOOO!! awesome! AVGN was also there.. great video so far .. thank you Adam! clap clap clap! Bill and Ted was also filmed there
Holy cow! That was possibly the best episode yet!!! You've seriously outdone yourself! Very entertaining! Wow! Just, WOW!
Always a great day when you upload Adam. Keep it up!!
Well done, Mr. Woo! I was never into Star Trek, however, you have a knack for getting me into things I would never normally be interested in. Mucho gracias!
THANK YOU SO MUCH ADAM!!!!
Cheers Adam, I love this Vlog. I have always wanted to visit where this Star Trek episode was filmed. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you.
Just recently finished watching the entire Star Trek original series on Netflix! This is awesome!!
Heck yea! So good
That was great man! One of my favorite episodes of the og Star Trek. Thanks for putting in the hard work on that one and glad you didn't get injured climbing those rocks with a mask on. 👾 #LLAP 🖖
Me too . If the ground was level it would have been much easier . Not much visibility in that thing
Oh man!! Might be the best ST episode ever!!! Thank you for this!!
Tough to pick a best TOS Star Trek episode but the gorn holds a special place in my heart
Look at Adam the Woo making great content! This is the stuff that got me watching. The Daily Woo is good, but this is the great stuff right here.
Rewatched the episode last night... I bet Shatner didn't climb all the way to the top of the rock (although he certainly could have.) You only see Kirk from behind on that shot (at 4:30), so I'm thinking that was his stand-in. So, Adam... You outdid the Shat by climbing that rock! (That was insanity BTW!)
Good video Adam, it's awesome to see you still putting out content!
Adam, you did it again. TERRIFIC 👌👍👊
Hi Adam. Loved this video. Lots of laughs and surprising information. Really enjoying watching your videos, I’m relatively new to this whole vlog thing. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are amazing. Thank you for what you do xx
Woo Trek!!! Great work Adam!
Star Woo
Awesome video Adam! Appreciate all the work you obviously put into it!!!
hope you been well adam
Great job once again. Thanks Adam for all the hard work. Godspeed young man.
The Antelope Valley Speedway (HWY 14) is just south of that location.
Awesome Adam! One of my favorite Star Trek episodes! Thank you!
I went here with me GF and her friend, one guy decided to venture off on his own (we told him not to) as we hiked around we went back to the car at a meet up time and this guy wasnt there, we waited hours and hours still nothing, we got worried and since this was before cell phones (prob out of service anyways) it was do we go get get help, she couldnt drive , I didnt want to leave her alone and we didnt want him to think we left him. Time seemed to slow. All of a sudden this dingle-berry shows up just b4 dark with a climbing rope he found like nothing happened.
That being said its a very easy place to drive up to but the rocks can be very slippery.
Oh dang that's stressful .
I love this so much! We love the work you put into it. Erik did a great job helping film it I would like to see y'all work together again!
RIP this Channel
Great coverage of the site and the episode. Loved the end piece. All classic Adam.
YOU SAVED ICE POSEIDON! THAT WAS EPIC!
Super colossal epic video Adam! Awesome detective skills. Love it!
I love Star Track Wars
😳
Amazing Adam!! This is where your talent shines the brightest! Love this!!❤️
Many tv shows we’re film at that location including The Galactica 1980 episode “The Return of Starbuck “
Such a great video, we laughed and enjoyed this to the fullest!!! Those heights, though, dang!!
Then this place was used many times after this episode in other Star Treks. Like it was the location of Vulcan in the movies. TNG used it, Voyager , Enterprise all used this place.
Definetky. Also several other scenes in the original series were out there as well
Lurker1979 also the movie star trek generations
@@adamthewoo. Also bill and Ted's excellent adventure, and The Flintstones movie.
This is my favorite video you've ever done, non both here and TDW. Gorn is one of my favorite Trek episodes so seeing this detailed breakdown.. love things like "the smoke machine would have been placed here." Love it!!!
Most impressive!
Every part of this is AWESOME!!! You nailed this bang on...thank you. Live long and Prosper my friend.
Morning adam! This is awesome
Awesome job, Adam. This really took me back to one of my favorite episodes.
Great job ❤
Nice video Adam😊I worked on Mister Rogers Neighborhood for 4 years and knew the man very well. The vid you did here in the burg was such a beautiful video of the man with heartfelt joy 😊thank you for that!!!
The purple army thanks you. Cx
Adam I love you for this segment dude. This is why your the king of your craft, love the shirt, action figures, the music, even the "good, good" quote from Spock that you cleverly placed in the dialog. I was afraid you were getting bored with this stuff, but today a new standard was set. THANK YOU !
You're the first to comment on the Spock quote and for that I thank you . Glad you caught that
I am jealous. It amazes me how you have all that movie/TV knowledge. If you don't wind up with your own TV show something is not right.
I'm just a nerd with an attentive eye
This video is brilliant! Even years after checking off one of my very top bucket-list items by visiting Vasquez Rocks, even dressing like Captain Kirk and visiting the whole area including much of that climb, you added details that even I hadn't known about the making of one of my very favorite episodes from my favorite TV series ever. I guess I need to make another trip to SoCal. Wonderfully done video!
And did the figures come from Stankus or are they your own? Awesome video dude!!!!
These are newer version reaction figures . Not too difficult to find . Worth the price to use as props
adamthewoo Shweet!!!
Oh wow I cringed as I thought you were tearing open some cherry vintage Star Trek figures from someone’s treasured collection!!! Lol. Keep em coming Adam, always love watching your adventures!
Even the Trek Figures from the 90's wouldn't of been worth that much. Now the Mego stuff from the 70s that is something else entirely.
brenda9361 those are reaction figures! Not vintage
This was great Adam! I really enjoyed watching this!
I think those screw pegs may have been from the TV show "Roswell" as they shot a bunch of scenes there as well.
Very well could be as much stuff that's filmed out there . The newer pegs were recent but those rusted ones looked likely have been there for ages
Great video, really liked that you revealed the old attachment point relics, that's real TV history, awesome find!
Fantastic Columbo like research and the all the interesting reenactments. Thanks
3 years later what’s happend to adamthewoo?
He uploads DAILY on his other channel; The Daily Woo
Adam at 73 years old I remember watching this episode when it first aired! Thanks for the memories it was awesome!
come back man pls
He uploads DAILY on his other channel; The Daily Woo
Excellent!! dude you always find the exact camera angles. This video is hilarious. Thank you for another great one!!
Adam...you keep one upping yourself with each video release!! Live long and prosper my friend!
Thank you . Live long and prosper
Great job !!! I love your videos. Thank you for the effort you put into each video. It really shows.
