My dad (David L. Snyder) was the Production Designer on this movie! I went to visit the set when they shot the scene in the parking lot at the school ♥️ I’m going to send him a link to this
@@80sLife I did! 😊 he did a bunch of great movies. He also did Pee Wee’s Big Adventure as far as local locations. Love your channel! I grew up in CP and now live in Sherman Oaks.
As I was dropping my daughter off for summer school this morning I saw a teacher get out of his car in flip flops a t shirt and board shorts. Instantly reminded me of this movie and for some reason this video shows up in my recommended.
You have no idea how many YEARS I've wondered where that photo developing booth was...and never did I imagine it would still be standing today. You've blown my mind! All around great job on this...and great movie!!! Thanks!
Great job man. This is one I had been considering doing myself for years. The location of the roller coaster is correct however at the time of filming it was called The Corkscrew named after it's corkscrew like double loop. This coaster closed in 1989 and was moved to Silverwood Park in Idaho where it is still operational today. So you can still ride the actual coaster from Summer School. Boomerang opened in it's place in 1990. Then that was torn down in 2017 and today it's a new coaster called Hang Time. Keep up the good work man.
Hey thanks man, I really appreciate it. Yeah I realized about the coaster shortly after I posted. I had totally forgot about corkscrew. Oh well, what can you do. Thanks so much for watching
@@chuckfan1 Would have been a nit pick if maybe they had just changed the name of the roller coaster but it's a completely different coaster. The character Chainsaw even refers to the double loop in his dialogue while reviewing the coaster. So there is nit picking and there is just being wrong. I've made plenty of mistakes myself and when I'm wrong about something I want to be corrected and know the facts. His videos are mini history lessons and I believe he wants the history to be accurate.
Dude, I just want to say THANK YOU for making these videos! I was born in 1979 and every video brings me back to the 80’s. I swear we had the same exact childhood. We would have been best friends for sure
One of my favorite movies too! I used to work at Blockbuster and I remember renting this (for free) and the dubbing a copy for my VHS collection. Since I worked at Blockbuster, I was able to take home empty movie boxes so I got Summer School but put my dubbed version in the actual box.
One of my all time favorite 80s movies ! Thanks for covering it ! Ps the roller coaster at knotts was not “boomerang” it was “corkscrew” boomerang wasn’t operating until 1990 ….
The level of detail, editing and unique style of your movie location videos is awesome and this one is no exception, I give them TWO thumbs up. Looking forward to the next one!
I found your channel yesterday and have watched 5-6 of them so far. I swear you have chosen so many of my favorites from my childhood (ones I still watch over and over to this day) and I literally exclaimed OH MY GOD when I saw that you did Summer School. Thank you so much for making these videos!!!!
Loving the new intro! The rollercoaster at Knott's was The Corkscrew, but I'm sure you just flubbed. 😏 I didn't realize the Photo Mart was just a block away from my apartment. Great job on the video!
Yesss!! I love this movie! Chainsaw and Dave were hilarious, and Pam was one of my major crushes (along with Allie from Karate Kid and Amanda from Can't Buy Me Love!).
I believe at that time that coaster at Knotts was The Corkscrew. I love this movie! Growing up in Panorama City we loved going to the water slides at that Malibu Grand Prix location in Northridge. Knockout video as always!
I loved this movie back in the day. The good old says when I would be on summer break and my mom would take me to rent movies and I rented this one year and it was amazing!
they dont make them any way anymore. Superhero movie after superhero movie after superhero movie, extended universes of superhero movies, roadmaps for 20 years worth of superhero movies. That, or a shitty remakes of a much better movie that was released 30 years ago.
This is a somewhat forgotten 80's teen classic. I remember seeing it at the movies. I'll never forget the scene where Shoop is sharing peanut butter with his dog.
I am so excited about this. I am an elementary teacher and usually work summer school. This is my go to movie every last day of school but few people have heard of it. Thanks for yet another great video. Keep up the fantastic work!
Saw a double feature at a theatre in Sonoma County when I was 10. It was Summer School followed by Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Interestingly, Gary Riley who played Dave in Summer School had a brief role as a thief in Planes... Love it when they prank the substitute. RIP Kirstie.
Oh. And LOVE Your New Intro. Just TOP... And Chainsaw is IDENTICAL to older friend I grew up with in small town... He introduced me to IRON MAIDEN....LIFE CHANGING...Chainsaw....well. We called him JOEL.....Joel was Even more Radical .
I really enjoy the movie locations videos u do . I was wondering could u do a locations video on Boulevard Nights I know it was made in 79 but I think it would be an cool video man . Thanks and keep up the good work . 👍
I’ll be in California in a couple weeks & I’m hoping to visit the high school location. Thanks for this video… Summer School is a childhood favorite that is still in my top 5 !
Another excellent job KC! I was just thinking about this movie yesterday and look here it is! They sure don't make them like this anymore. Thank you for this great job.
Going to watch it tonight. Have not seen it since probably the early 90s. I absolutely LOVE the detail you put into lining up the shots and showing key stuff that still exists. I know this is off topic but do you ever go to any old school BMX bike shows around your parts? When I was an 80s kid, Freestyle BMX was my life in about 1985 1986. Had a GT Pro Performer but sucked at doing tricks. Lol. Wasn't as big here (Oklahoma) as California.
Thanks I really appreciate that. No not really. My son has a Dyno that I built for him. I love and respect the BMX scene, but I definitely grew up more of a skater.
So great, man! I saw this movie in the theater when I was a kid. Neat to see that an old Fotomat building is still up an being used. They tore the Fotomat down in my hometown in NorCal in the late 90’s. Great vlog!
Dang. I just realized I was 12 years old when this came out. Being from NorCal, I always wanted to live in SoCal….Camp Pendleton and O Side wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.
Dude!! I’ve gotta spend a whole weekend watching your location videos are you’re hitting So Many if my childhood faves!! Now my question is…do you remember Pandemonium (1982)
Excellent job.. I noticed that one of the police officers who arrest Shoop on the beach was also the security/ref that talks to Mr. Miagi, Alley and Daniel at the tournament in the Karate kid; since you did such a great job on Karate Kid locations.
That is crazy if think about how he had a house right on the beach being a teacher, Anything right next to the beach is usually super expensive. .. also you make excellent videos, I love them and watch often, your attention to details is awesome ! You don’t just rush to a couple locations like some people, you really do your homework 😎thank you for making all of these!!! Should do the move RAD if haven’t already. It falls right along with THRASHIN.. and I did like Thrashin more for sure. But rad and bmx bandits were both also great. Again thank you!!
A bro that's the neighborhood I went to high school in Highland Park.A little trivia for you bro ,back in the day the Coco's across the street was Carrows and before that it was Bob's Big Boy.The restaurant down the street passing the convalescent home used to be called Villa Sombrero.Now it's Pocha's.Love this movie.In my top 10.
Amazing how untouched this school is. Looks like it hasn't been "updated" (ruined) at all in at least three decades. This kind of thing is so rare now and getting more rare every day. We have to enjoy and document these things while we still can. In another ten years they will all be gone, I fear.
Gary Riley went to my school, even brought scripts. He was in Silver Spoons at that time and he sat next to me. He was only there for 2-3 months until after the shooting. Political Science at Uni H.S. in Irvine, California 1986/87. Yes, Will Farrel was the PA announcer at that time too.

Hey bro. We need more sharting videos.
@@danbremer7010 I was thinking the same thing. Been super busy filming the Tracy movie lately. Have the next couple weeks off so I'll get some done.
Ha. The universe works in mysterious ways. Thank you for watching
Seeing that classroom was beyond amazing. I LOVE watching filming locations from my childhood movies, but I think this one's my favorite so far.
Great 80s summer movie RIP Kristie Alley
I was 12 years old when I saw this movie in the theaters and I'm 46 years old right now, just watched it yesterday on video, damn time flies!
It’s amazing how some stuff is exactly the same. 1987 was a lifetime ago. These are great videos. So sad how much the world has changed.
Thank you so much for watching
You have no idea how many YEARS I've wondered where that photo developing booth was...and never did I imagine it would still be standing today. You've blown my mind! All around great job on this...and great movie!!! Thanks!

Yep, I worked at Knott's when this was filmed there. It was definitely the Corkscrew. And the parachute ride was called the Sky Jump.

Yeah, pretty much. It's crazy
Again....killin it sir. Thank you for loving all the same shit I grew up loving. Youre doing a great job.
Great Job. Brings back a lot of memories. Can't believe the school is still the same!
Thank you so much. It's a honor to have you watch the video. I really appreciate it.

Fun fact. Kirstie Alley first appeared as a contestant on Match Game and she was recognized by someone in Hollywood and that's how she was discovered.
I was a sophomore when this came out and I thought this was the coolest school due to the ocean views -- what a bummer damn movie magic LOL.
I think That DMV location is the space they used for the soundstage for the show Teen Wolf
Oh really? Interesting
Excellent job..

Lotta good memories from that part of the valley my aunt and uncle used to live 2-3 blocks from the petting zoo off Tampa st they lived on Cantara st
sorry just realized someone also said that in the comments. I like watching your videos though always brings back memories.
