The Wraith Filming Locations - Then and Now
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- Thanks for checking out my Wraith filming locations video ! The Wraith has been one of my favorite 80s movies for as long as I can remember. I knew I had to do a Wraith filming locations video as soon as I got out to Tucson Arizona. This movie has it all and quite possibly jump started my interest in cars as a young kid. The Wraith car, the Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor was and still is such an amazing looking car. This is also back when Charlie Sheen was just staring out his acting career.
All in all, it took me almost 3 weeks to find and film all of these locations. Its been 30 years so obviously lots have changed which at times made things extremely difficult to locate certain scenes.
The Wraith took me all over Tucson high and low. They filmed down in the cactus valleys, and way up in the Catalina Mountains. Mt Lemmon was one of the most interesting places to see, I can understand why they decided to film up there. Unfortunately, there was a death during the filming of this movie on those roads and as a result there is no more filming allowed up on the Catalina Highway. Very narrow, windy roads with scary drop offs.

Hey! I just watched your video and have to say it was awesome. Thanks for the trip back to some very fond memories.
Dave Sherrill
I love this movie! I have the DVD I got from a used video store in Green Bay and is definitely one of my favorite 80's movies! I wouldn't give up the 80's for nothing!
Thanks for all the great information Dave!
Wow, Dave Sherrill. An honor to reply to one of your comments, lol. The Wraith is my favorite movie of all time, the soundtrack too, it was so good. The Skank and Gutterboy scenes was always hilarious. i always wished there was a Skank and Gutterboy spin off. Like before The Wraith took place. if done right i think it would've been successful. it would've probably been popular with stoners. i always loved the Skank and Gutterboy scenes. i remember watching The Wraith with my friend, we was drinking and smoking some good weed and we had tears in our eyes and having trouble breathing from laughing so hard from watching the Skank and Gutterboy scenes, great times!
i always wanted to visit the locations as well and get either the Blu-Ray-(if they ever release the U.S. version), DVD, VHS, or Poster autographed by the cast.
if you have any kind of memorabilia from The Wraith or any other movie, you should upload a video to TH-cam showing the stuff. Fans appreciate that kind of stuff, i know i would.
Anyways, this video and your comment made my day. i wish you nothing but the best Dave, you too Mobile Instinct, i loved this video and can appreciate it.
This was so nostalgic....Mobile Instinct, Thanks a lot man !
Que hermosa pelicula ojala hicieran un remake grande david
One of my absolute favorite movies as a kid and still. Great soundtrack. Dodge Interceptor still looks futuristic today.
I share your same feelings towards The Wraith!! I think its too notch, even though it was not a so called A list movie
There is no other car since I can't have one I got an EBike
I know a ton about that area and the filming of that movie... one cameraman died on the Catalina Hwy when the camera truck struck some rocks sticking out... Also that air park was the correct one... not sure what its called now, but it was Bob's Airpark back in the day... its was a salvage yard... We filmed a Tom Petty video there once as well... I used to hang out in those planes as a kid with my buddy drinking beers and sitting in all the planes and talking about the Vietnam war where lots of those plane had come from back in those days of the Wraith.... The burger joint was a taco and tamale joint at one time, if I am correct it was built in the 50's originally... Sabino Canyon where they filmed the water scenes was a very fun place back in the day for kids to go hang out and play in the cool snow run off... It was free and it had a one way road that let you drive and park right by the water and yes their was other parking lot types areas there as you mentioned that are not in your current day vid...Anyway, I could go on as I know that area well despite living much of my life in Los Angeles considering I was raised in Tucson when the population was squat and I was in the film industry for many years... Very cool that you would do a video on the Wraith.....
Also it was the 4th ave bridge they were under... it was torn down and replaced... Oh yeah the jumping cactus are brutal...pulled many out of myself.. best way is with a comb and do it fast... the bridge and train tressel is a place we would off road our 4x4's to via the wash and hang out under and play in the cool water and shade on hot summer days...
175IQLOSERS dude! Awesome to meet someone who was in the Biz! I bet you are a treasure trove of cool stories and memories!
175IQLOSERS Also, it's very sad about the cameraman 😞 a lady died a few months ago filiming deadpool 2. Precarious business where stunts or crazy filming is involved.
Wow thanks for your input being from the UK it's good to get a sence
Rumours say Gutterboy is still working at the air yard
You just took us real fans on a field trip through a 80's cult classic movie! 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤜💥🤛
My favorite 80’s movie. This was awesome and special at the same time. I’ve watched the movie over and over again and I’m still crazy about Sherilyn Fenn. Thank you!
She not so hot nowadays
@@dwoolaver1549 That's why there's a pause button.
I always wanted to make sweet sweet love to her back in the day.
@@dwoolaver1549 well how do you look 30 years later?
@ Mobile Instinct
I can state with absolute certainty that the old 4th Avenue Underpass was the one used in the film. As a longtime resident of the area, I traveled it on foot and as a driver hundreds and hundreds of times. I was also on the advisory committee that helped decide its fate and what would replace it.
First off, there are actually three railroad underpasses in close proximity; Stone Avenue, 6th Avenue, and 4th Avenue. The 4th Avenue Underpass that you walked through is a complete replacement. It was built alongside the old one, which was then demolished when the new one opened up to traffic. The 6th Avenue underpass remains unchanged from the time of its construction.
If you look at the underpass in the film, you will see that the raised sidewalk is separated from the roadway by round columns and a double chain rail, which also continues through the approaches. It also has, as you noted, a solid wall dividing the lanes. That was the construction of the old underpass. On the other hand and as you can see in your video, at the 6th Avenue underpass the sidewalk and road are separated by an arched wall with a double tube steel railing set at a 45 from vertical, which doesn't match the film. The Stone Avenue underpass is also separated by a wall, this time with narrower trefoil arches and a trefoil arched concrete balustrade, which also doesn't match the film.
So, we are left with a structure that no longer exists. Fortunately there are pictures. Here is a link to a page with five shots of the old 4th Avenue underpass that clearly match the film. www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1N6R_Fourth_Avenue_Underpass_Tucson_AZ
Great video by the way.
Growing up in Tucson myself, I do believe u are correct. And if memory serves I remember that underpass flooding almost everytime during monsoons. 😂
Watched this movie for the very first time a few weeks ago & it's now one of my most favourite movies of all time 👍👍
NOT A FAIL AT ALL! All three of the parts, you showed, ARE from that Daytona. The radio I recognize, the belt buckle had heat damage, they use gasoline for those movie explosions, and gas burns hot and distempers metal, like that buckle showed. The radiator could have only gotten burnt, melted and fused, by an explosion and fire. That's why it was fragmented. All three, super cool, after 35 years, amazing!!!
If he had come earlier he would have seen the Daytona. Last time I remember seeing it was 2006. I’m not sure when someone took it out. Maybe around the same time they pulled out the camera truck a few years ago.
I'm honestly surprised the film crew didn't do an extensive cleanup effort after filming the scenes to insure there were no left over debris or prop sets left behind. Seeing these parts still there after all this time is quite amazing. Definitely was a treat to see this.
@@DoveEnigma13 they left the vehicles there? Was the camera truck the one that crashed?
It would have been a lot of work to get that Daytona back up the hill. If I would have known it was still there in 2006, I may have gone down to grab a fender or emblem as a souvenir.
@@brandonsavitski There are several crashed vehicles still there in various locations on the mountain. Not from the movie, but just regular crashes.
I remember my dad renting this movie on beta for us to watch as kids, it's still a favorite. Thank you for making this!
Thanks for uploading this video when your fifteen years old in 86 this movie was magic really enjoyed it 👍
Filmed in my hometown when I was 36, The Wraith is dedicated to the memory of Bruce Ingram, a camera operator who died during the filming of one of the car chases; another crew member was seriously injured. According to supplementary material on the DVD, the camera car was overloaded and overturned while traveling at high speed. Catalina Highway has been made a bit safer, but frankly, then and now, you NEVER should have filmed at such a high speed on such a mountain road.
Me and my older brother rode our bikes over to watch the big Kay's scene being filmed.
+haresplitter That must have been really cool to see.
What surprised me was how much different and colorful everything was after they work their movie Magic versus watching it live.
Crazy. I love reading these stories
That is so cool, thank you for sharing!!
What's it on Benson Highway
Thank you so much for taking your time and showing us these movie scenes. It was so easy to get back that feeling and tones. Nice memories.
That “motorbike” was a 1985 Honda XL350R. They only made them for two years.
Love this movie and love that bike! This was superbly done, thank you.
Wow! This is so cool! The Wraith is still one of my favorites! I can pretty much recite it. lol. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and to share it with the fans! Great stuff!
A real eighties classic. Love the work you put into researching this. Great work man.
Just caught this video as an extra feature on the The Wraith blu-ray. Very detailed! Thank you!
Love this amazing, iconic 80's movie so much!
Really appreciate you doing this video it was nice seeing the same places. Wraith was one of my favorite 80's movies. The water looks like a sewer now.
Wow! You nailed those locations, easily one of the best movie locations I’ve watched. Also one of my all time Favorite Movies...the cars, characters and story is awesome IMO!!!great video!
One of my favorite movies growing up! Great video, sir...and thank you for the time and hard work that you put in to making this for other fans like myself to enjoy!
I was in high school when this movie was filmed in Tucson. I went to high school with one of the girls that played a waitress at Big K's. A buddy of mine was at the scene where the Dodge goes off the cliff on the road to Mt. Lemmon. He saw that they used a dummy car for the shot and got to talk to the stunt guys. Kinda cool.
Wow.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
This is so great! Always wanted to know where they filmed the river scenes, so beautiful. Thank you for this!!
Yeah, out on the slickrock, really cool.
I was hoping you would have found Auggie's eyes. Great video! Still watch this movie today.
Haha great comment !
Mobile Instinct I subbed to see your other vids. Take care :)
Hey thanks! There are some really cool videos coming soon!
Or a can of zombie piss
I'm sure they are still missing lol
This is cool yet kinda sad...where did time go?
Time waits on no one
Charlie sheen ate it lol
Life flies my friend
So Damn Fast Flys Bye 💨
No joke. I was in high school when this came out. I taped it on VHS off HBO and watched it a lot. Funny thing is, I didn't really need to. For about two years HBO showed it a lot.
Im a mechanic for over 15 years I’ve worked on everything, that radio and seat buckle was from a Chrysler / dodge. And is probably from the movie car
Bulll shittt
Sad to say that Radio was not Chrysler.
@boostedsil40 because like the people that live near there have said, there is accidents there all the time where people actually die. So its not from any movie
It's not a stock Chrysler radio, But.... Audiovox made exact fit upgrade radios for dealers to install, in case someone wanted a better unit than the car left the factory with. Highly likely that came from the movie car. They were wired exactly like that. That seat belt bracket is 100% the shoulder harness mounting bracket from an 80s Chrysler.
I'm a big fan from a kid. Still watch it now. This tutorial I eeeeppppiiiic
Hi! I just wanted to let you know Audiovox was a stereo option for the Dodge Daytona's at that time. That is most definitely the stereo out of Auggies Daytona and a really interesting find! Cheers!
I need to make a day trip out and look for that!
I just found your video and it`s wondeful, the way you take us through the locations it`s like being there, the way you explain is just great. For some reason this movie is somewhat forgotten but at the same time it touched the brain of many of us who were kids or teens in the 80`s. I think I had more emotions watching your video than watching the movie it self. Thank you very much. You`re the best!!
I had no idea what to expect when I started watching this clip. But man...this is soooo cool! Thank you for this - not only was your short trip into the Wraith universe interesting as hell, now I wanna go for a visit as well! 👍
I watched The Wraith last night. Great movie from my childhood.
I think it's amazing that you're able to find the exact spot where someone was or an object was. I could never even hope to come close lol
I used to love this movies a kid!! I own it on DVD and still watch it every now and then!! Thanks for the effort you put into this!!
Man thats my favorite movie of all time. I would pay you to give me that tour of those locations. I remember being around 8 years old and thinking how cool it would be to have skanks hair cut! lol
Haha that hair cut would definitely make a statement now!
its a highly underrated movie...all car racing fans would love this movie
I live here.
I still drive too fast on the same roads they filmed the races
Bringing memories back. Thank you. Was a kid when I saw this movie and I loved it. Cool thing is I live in Tucson and have the opportunity to check out these locations. Some of them I've already seen just from living here. Again, thank you.
Loved the video. The fact that that ravine is still full of smaller car parts is just incredible. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
I'm surprised you haven't had offers from cable tv outlets to narrate tv shows for history channel or discovery or something. Or even have a cam crew follow you while u explore. You always do such a great job! My ONLY complaint, is i already watched ALL of your videos and I wish there were more. Awesome job as always!
This was my favorite movie as a teen (in the 80's lol) and I am so appreciative of this. Something akin to what you did has been on my bucket list for years. Kind of wish they wouldn't have blown up Packard's garage though. It had a very cool vibe to it
Amazing video! It's fascinating how you tried to find every single location, even for the smallest scenes! Thanks!
Absolutely OUTSTANDING research and filming. Lucky devil. Thank you. Those are defo on my bucket list someday.
One of my favs. Watching it now
You've found the locations, now find the wraith 😀
Awesome work, dude! Thanks for it!
Wraith? Pffffft. Just a Kid.
First off, I gotta say awesome job dude!!. I've been looking forever on TH-cam to see if anyone has ever made a Wraith filming location shoot. To my surprise I just stumbled upon it and I love it!!. This is one of my all time favorite 80's movies. I remember when I was 8 years old watching it on HBO back in 1987. I've wanted to go to Tucson for years to check out the filming spots like you did. In 2015 I went to Phoenix and I just had to make the drive down to Tucson. We didn't have a lot of time and it got dark. But I was able to see a few of the spots. I got to see where Packard and the Wraiths race scene was exactly, which was I remember taking a left at the end of gates pass road, right where old Tucson studios and the museum are. In fact, in packards race scene where he goes over a little curved hump in the road is still there. I went right over it. That road hasn't changed that much. I also got to see Kerri's house. That looked a lot different back then, well the street does. Not sure if they added the green street lights for the movie, or if they were really their at one time. Also, the grass was probably put in for the movie because you don't see a lot of grass in Arizona. Regrettably I wasn't able to make up the Catalina highway, it got too dark. Also, thanks for pointing out the correct bridge. I thought it was the 4th Ave bridge. But I think your right on about it being the 6th Ave bridge, if you notice. The 4th ave bridge seems a bit too short for the length of the race scene. Big Kay's I went by as well. East Benson Highway. There are a lot of conflicting stories on what that really was. A local told me it was a pizza place that they borrowed for the movie. Another local said it was specifically built just for the movie. Who knows. I plan on going back and spending more time checking it out again. Thanks so much!!.
Shane Cashman it was actually 4th ave bridge they redid a few years back that way it looks totally different. I was born and raised here in Tucson and been tracking it all haha love this movie!
The length of the bridge was done with editing.
I live in Tucson this video is so cool I love that movie they actually hired people in high schools to be in that movie around Tucson
Great Video! Super cool that they included your video on the Wraith Blu-ray. Thanks for the terrific work!
This is one of my all time favorites! Great work finding all the filming locations. I'd like to get out there myself one of these days.
One of my favorite 80s movie , with a great soundtrack. Great job on this video. It took me down memory lane. So nostalgic
Absolutely phenomenal video. You nailed everything. I love the movie so much, being an 80's baby, and I have fond memories of watching this with my dad.
At 1:23, Amazing to see this iconic road. I always wondered whose mailbox is that randomly sticking out by that road. Looks great. You're right the Wraith drove out on that road at the end of the police chase and at the very end of the movie on the motorbike.
At 2:15, I'm amazed at how similar the home is to the movie, and that the large tree is still there. Awesome. Wow. I'm ready to move in lol.
At 3:51, astounded to see this lovely area with the creek. I didn't know there is still water there, thought it had dried up. You definitely nailed the locations people were on the rocks.
At 14:04, you better believe I would have went home with that seat belt buckle.
At 15:53, such a gorgeous scene, my goodness. Looks great.
At 20:48, Anderson Dam, I immediately recognized the location seeing the water pouring out from the opening under the road, and the entire area is so beautiful. I can see the romance in it. Definitely a date location or stop.
At 22:08, I think you got it. The rock formations look identical, as does the shape of the opening.
At 22:36, very cool to see that bridge. I didn't think it was real. Awesome man.
Sorry about the conditions you had to brave, but I for one really appreciate your work and effort.
You should consider a Patreon account so people can donate to support your endeavors, especially for fans that don't really travel or are not able to. I was going to throw you a couple hundred, but by the end of the year I'll have a few more collectible statues that will run me a few grand.
Hydraulic fluid toast and cheers my friend. Stay safe out there.
Cool filming!! I was living near there (Green Valley) when The Wraith was filmed. They drove on Sahuarita Road and also the old Duval Mine Road. The 80s were a different time in Tucson, lot of good movies coming out of it like "Can't buy me love" and "The Wraith". Wished they would make a second "Wraith" where Billy Haskins still has the legendary Turbo Interceptor, and his brother returns and they both go after road gangs who have taken over the desert.
Ahhhhhh sherilyn fenn😍 she was so hot!!!
She was beyond hot she was a supernova back then.
@@christianwellness4363 I don't think so she was on shameless not long ago and her hotness has left the building
She was in a early episode of friends to
Hot doesn't even begin to scratch the surface!
She was my first crush if I remember correctly. She still looks good!
Thanks for sharing it's cool when places like this are visited.
12:52 You probably could! My dad was in the Navy and into jets so on our first visit to Rachel, NV he looked up military plane crashes in that area and sure enough when we went to that area and just snooped around we found misc jet parts, it was pretty cool.
I love this movie! Just watched it again about 3 weeks ago. I’m 59 and still rockin Bro. Thanks for these great vids! Me and my wife are loving them.
I rode my motorcycle out to the bridge today and indeed the green fender is still there. I took pictures of it and left it there. Hopefully others will do the same.
Went back out there today and the fender is gone. Sucks that after sitting there since the movie was filmed 30 years ago, someone had to take it.
Have you still got the picture? Would love to see it
Where is the bridge at?
I have the emblem to that green fender got a pic of it too. Went back a few months later and it was gone
Man I'm 48 years old and that's my favorite movie ever thanks for that documentary.
Oh my lord, this is amazing! Kind of crazy seeing this like 25 years after watching the movie. I loved this movie instantly when I first saw it and still do now. The german title of the movie is "Interceptor" :-) and beeing from Germany it is just way more amazing to see these landscapes and how they are like today. Thanks a lot for the video and all the others, that I just explored. Really great work and really a joy to watch them! Stay safe and take care man and have a hole more lot of fun travelling!
Greetings from Germany.
This was just incredibly well spot out. It's simply all kinds of awesome - well done!
Thank you so very much for doing this...this was one of my favorite movies and I still watch it often even now...Great job you did and again, thank you..
Muito bom, sou apreciador do filme, assistia quando era garoto nos anos 80 , ótimos atores, ótimos carros, ótima trilha sonora, uma ótima memoria III Parabéns !
Love this movie. One of my fave of all time.
Well done on this video it really takes me back in time! Such a surreal thing seeing the locations now, amazing video!
Thank you so much for your time and effort with this video. I remember when The Wraith came out on VHS was absolutely fantastic.
Thanks for this kind sir, one of the best movies ever. The interceptor has always been a favorite of mine because of this movie. keep doing your work sir. subbed.
Thanks so much!
Thanks.for this awesome video. I can 100% confirm that Big Kay's was a Barbershop. I lived about two blocks away and rode my bike up there to see what was going on. All the cars were parked inside a fence behind " Big Kay's ". Benson highway. And the motel across the street was called " The Old donkey inn". Man this was cool. Thanks again.
That was great! Nice work tracking down the locations - it was interesting to see, and the scenery was beautiful! I was in Tucson for a road trip last year - mainly for the plane boneyard and saguaro national forest
This was.one of my favorite movies growing up and honestly still is today. Thanks for answering some unanswered questions .
Nice job bro! i remember me watching this movie in 1993/1994 in a afternoon session on tv. good days!
Regards from Brazil/São Paulo
Thank you so much for posting your video brother. I watched the wraith when I was only dating the woman who became my first wife, and we’ve been divorced for more than 20 years now, but still remember that movie as one of our favorites. I had the pleasure of going out to Tucson Arizona to visit and got to go to the spot where big KAYS burgers used to be and had to go back to Jacksonville Florida (by hometown. )
I thought I would’ve had more time to check out the other filming sites of the wraith,
Unfortunately I didn’t, but I hope to go back out that way again sometime on vacation and see the other locations. It sucks you got that cactus in your foot ,
but you dealt with it very well :-) thank you again for your time and trouble to get footage for the rest of us guys who love the wraith movie.
Je suis fan depuis enfant de ce film et là tu m'a offert un énorme cadeaux en nous montrant ce qu est devenu aujourd'hui merci beaucoup ☺️
Cool video, man. The Wraith was one of my favorite movies growing up (I was 13 years old in 1986). Checking the area where the Dodge Daytona crashed is my favorite part of your video. Much appreciated!!!
Thank you for this. I’ve always wanted to know where the creek in the film was located. I’ve also looked around Tucson where Can’t Buy Me Love was film. Good job! I love this
How creative and adventurous very nostalgic and Awesome thanks!
That was amazing!! You can see a lot of scouting and work was put into this video and I appreciate you sharing it.
Thanks! Yes tons of work figuring everything out, but it was well worth it and definitely a fun time!
Meticulous research! I really enjoyed this. I don't think nearly enough people have seen The Wraith.
that radio you found would have been in a 1986 dodge daytona. I know this because I own the exact same daytona and thats the radio it had in it when I got it.
If it was the radio from the Daytona it must have been ejected VERY early because it didn't look like it had been exposed to the inferno inside that car.
Definitely a Chrysler radio. I installed car audio for 20 years and have taken a ton of those out.
One of my favorite movies. Ive dreamed of owning that car.
me too mate
Hey man, Kudos for doing this, The Wraith was one of my favorite movies as a kid and I always had an interest in where it was filmed. I live in Australia so it's just not an option to go check it out. You just satisfied that interest in its entirety. Thank you. subbed.
Thank for sharing this. One of my favorite movies of all time!
Damn this got some kick!
That ish is hilarious bruh
"skank get rid of that zombie piss ur drinkin before it turns you into a mushroom"
Awesome work, watch this movie a million times when I was younger one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time..
Awesome ! One of my favorite movies. The dodge interceptor was definitely the star of the movie
This was a really great video. Appreciate you trekking through Arizona like that to bring us a glimpse at what has become of these locations. Keep up the good/hard work.
Awesome video man!! One of my favorite movies. I live in Tucson I just passed Keri Johnson house yesterday. My girlfriend and I are gna go try and find some of these locations your video helped me a lot thanks!!
Thanks! And that sounds pretty cool!
How far up Catalina highway was oggies crash? I would like to explore a little down there.
I think it was about half way up to the Hoodoos. There's a river at the bottom so look for that. Getting down is pretty rough.
Ok sweet thanks. Ya looked pretty tough from your video but it will be fun.
Btw that chase threw the tunnel was actually 4th ave they redid it to make it look nice that's why it doesn't look like the movie scene.
As for that truck crash scene, and your assumption on the road. You’re correct. I’ve worked in this area for two decades and coworkers who worked back then, they call that area “old I-10” or the original I-10. Scattered around, you’ll find chunks of the old highway still there, in ruins and overgrown.
The Mt Lemmon hwy has been widened, repaved and lots of guardrails added since that movie was filmed. There used to be a lot of accidents up there before that. I'm not surprised you found old car parts. I ride my motorcycle up there quite often. Its a beautiful ride. The Sabino Canyon scenes are some of my favorite. You can no longer drive anywhere near where those scenes were filmed. We spent a lot of time up there in the 80's. Lots of great swimming holes for us desert rats. I knew one person in the burger joint scene from high school.
Were the swimming holes safe to be in? Like are there any animals or things you have to watch out for in those swimming holes where the movie was filmed? I've never been to the Southwest so I have no idea what could be in the water holes like the one Charlie Sheen and Sherilyn Fenn were in.
@@stephensmith8316 Various water bugs, tadpoles and such. The animals usually come around after dark, deer, javalina, wildcats, cougar, raccons, black bears. Its a popular hiking area. Most of the animals are scarce in the daylight.
Side note, the water gunfight scene in Tombstone was filmed about 100' upstream from the water scene in Wraith.
@@MaddBaggins Thanks. That's interesting. I always thought to myself, I hope they checked that water hole good before the actors got into it for that scene. Doesn't look like it's too transparent to see to the bottom of what's in there before getting in.
@@MaddBaggins That's an awesome side note. I love Tombstone as well as The Wraith. Tucson looks like a very interesting place to visit. Hope to get to the Southwest one day in my life.
Thank you!
This video was so completely satisfying to watch. One of my favorites, and you hit every scene I love. Amazing job, please visit more 80's locations. Made my day!
One of my favorites! You should do "the legend of Billie Jean!
Did they really film in FL?
I grew up on the Westside of Tucson and traveled upon many of those fun roads to speed on where filmed! We used to drive our 4x4s up the hill where packards makeshift garage was just off Ajo rd & LA Cholla
Thank you so much for making this ! I always wondered about the locations around town. I went to Sahuaro High & Brooke Burke-Charvet was my Biology partner, back in 1984. I noticed you included her scene at Big Kays.. She played a waitress and you can see her rolling in at 9:23 and at 9:24. She missed a lot of school back then, (at least in Biology) and I remember having to do dissections by myself. Nevertheless, when she was in class, she was nice to everyone.
I had to get her in the edit ! Glad you liked the my video!
SoloOrTroll That just maid my day to find out she's in this movie Thank you
Weird on my phone 9:23 shows cheese being put on the burgers on the grill and 9:24 shows fries being dumped out of the fryer lol
Well done . Very imformative video one of my favourite films
Matter of fact Brooke Burke used to go to Palo Verde High School in Tucson Arizona she was in that movie when I was in high school with her,, I think she was one of the waitresses on the roller skates
Juan Weigel
I knew it, there she is!!!
Here you go, Brooke Burke:
9:22 to 9:23
😋😉
I remember her. I graduated PV 89.
