- A cult classic with a killer song!
The Billie Jean Gang arrives at the mall to settle the dispute with Mr Pyatt, but instead Pyatt sets them up and we get treated to fun romp around the mall with Billy Idols 'Rebel Yell" - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

I grew up in Corpus, always came to this mall as a kid due to the dollar theater that was attached to it. It used to be such a colorful place but almost nobody was ever there, half the building was shut off and only a handful of shops remained. I still get so sad whenever I see urban explorer videos/pictures of the mall. Everything is destroyed and flooded now.
Same, I miss the dollar cinema and the cool food court. If you go to Bel furniture, it has some of the old decorations from the mall's nautical theme! I remember always going in there to look at the model trains upstairs.
@@jimtheedcguy4313 I loved the pirate ship (I think that was part of the food court? Correct me if I’m wrong, I was literally seven years old lol) where you could sit down and eat. Though when my dumb friends decided to sneak in there a year or so ago, they told me the mermaid at the front of the ship had been decapitated :(
They couldn’t find her head anywhere either.
@@purplelizard2460 yes! It was set up as a ship, and in Bel, which used to be Wilcox, which was Montgomery Ward, there was a ships helm at the top of the center staircase. I think it might still be there. But I grew up at Padre Staples mall since my dad worked at Smiths Guns for 11 years, therefore, family day we'd always go to sunrise since my parents didn't want to go where my dad worked all the time lol. I still remember Academy was where Cavenders is now, and Conns used to be an Albertsons! Do you remember seeing the Delta Tire commercials on TV??? "Donde es a compro con mucho gusto!"
i just stopped off at the Sunrise Mall while i was down around Corpus Christi. even though most of the stores are gone or different the flooring, the escalators, the fountains, the railings and the pillars are the same as they where back in '85. I even watched this video while walking around getting the same views the actors/characters got. It was surreal. :)
Yeah
I think it's closed down.and abandoned now

was last there in 2016, and I do hear ya there....
😞 it’s not dead just resting. Revamp renovate revitalize. Opening day have Helen Slater there.
I used to watch this all the time when I was little!! lol
I visited this mall a few weeks ago. It's the Staples Mall in Corpus Cristi TX. It really went to hell. There's only like 3 stores open and they were closing down. I feel special for visiting an obscure filming location. Also, the day I went, they had an Elvis Impersinator for live entertainment.
Oh hey Pan-pizza
This was one of the best movies of the eighties! ;-)
25 years later and this mall is like a morgue. Gone are Joske's, Benjamins, Aladdin's Castle, the American Chocolate, Chip Cookie Company, Games People Play, The Record Bar, Video Concepts, and scores of other retailers. They stopped running the fountains and escalators to cut down on expenses. The mall has really been hit hard, just like the guy who gets racked by Billie Jean.
Replying 13 years in the future... and malls in general have only gotten worse. Clothing stores aside, almost every store is either a cellphone store or a purse store. Arcades are a thing of the past (and, no thanks to the pandemic, this is a reality that is also recently hitting overseas in Japan, which has for a long time been the last economic redoubt for game centers). Movie theaters are rare, and as for the malls which do have one... they only really have superhero movies and sub-par reboots of old franchises anymore. Software stores are non-existent due to that industry having practically gone completely online-only. Organized flash-mob shoplifting is a rampant phenomenon and, judging by their inaction, most cities' police couldn't care less.
Needs to be reformatted and renovated. Indoor amusement park. Putt putt golf etc. Stage for concerts and live entertainment etc. Cheese Cake factory. Yes put the Arcades new and vintage. Go cart park. Install a water slide. Maybe a gym. Night club for the spring breakers. Casino. Skate park. Rock wall. Talk to the developers of Bricktown in OKC. Or any developer The location is good. Hate for it to go to waste.
I live in Corpus, and it's awesome watching this scene. Haha, people actually used to shop in Sunrise Mall! It's also pretty cool because my mom said she was one of the extras in this. I always look for her when I watch it.
Which extra is she in this scene?
ohhhh really Abby? your mom dident say she was an extra
Where is Corpus?
0:16....love that score!
best part of the whole movie thanx for the upload.
80's Classic Movie
Can't go wrong with Rebel Yell!
boy i missed this one
most of the time, there will be no one else in sight until I come across an open store. But, I have to say, it is really relaxing to walk around and look at, without all the loud crowds and stuff. I can literally sit on the staircase (the escalators aren't there anymore) and not be bothered.
One of my favorite Movies!
Love the synthesizer!!! 0:24 - 1:17

We used to visit the mall when we went to visit Corpus back in the Eighties. Glad I was fortunate enough to se the fountains when they were working. We accidentally found the location where the truck flips over. We weren't even looking for it.
It is great to know that a ol' neighbor still lives near the mall and yes remembers when it opened. And yes the other mall seems to be getting a bit too much attention in the past two decades!
Here is a little known fact this mall scene was filmed in a mall that just opened called Sunrise mall! Yes you can still see the fountains their and sadly they were turned off by bad management over the years since this movie was filmed there. In Corpus Christi,TX! Half the mall is a time capsule!
crazy to see this mall in its prime. im from corpus, and was born way after the 80s, so i never got to see this place while it still had some life to it. last time i went there were only a few store left open. it was sorta eery yet cool
Damn now when I go to this mall at 12 on a saturday it is deserted. Its pretty badass to see it bustling :D and with the fountain working :O
I love how most everybody how comments on this is a corpus christian( Iam too) we all love to see back when sunrise mall was pretty! ;-/
I was always curious about the music in this part of the film about 19 seconds to about 1 minute and 20 seconds. The guitar riff 45 seconds in I really liked. I always thought it was flattering for this part of the film that they used such savvy music for that era since Billy Idol and Steve Stephens really knew how to get down in the 80s.
@tsntana I left Corpus about 1990, and I don't remember Diamond Jim's being anywhere else but Sunrise Mall. My father owned Sunrise Clock Shoppe, which was not far away, next to Cutlery World. Diamond Jim's lent us some storage space, and I remember going back there and seeing a stack of laser discs that they used for Dragon's Lair. I guess they had to be replaced every once in a while. Yes, Diamond's Jim's was cool. I remember the hockey game, Xevious, Bomb Jack, and Q Bert being there.
I went to the grand opening of Sunrise Mall on a field trip from Montclair Elementary back in the day. It was such a big deal it was on the news and everyone was so proud and happy to finally have a cool mall. It's fun to watch this scene because its abandoned now it's such a shame! Luckily Panjos is still across the street making the best pizza on earth!
Before they closed it, I would walk around it just to relive memories of going as a kid. I also liked it quiet it felt, too bad it's closed to the public now. Even with no stores, I was happy to at least walk around it.
I went to Blanche Moore. My family would go to the $1 cinema all the time.
Panjos is dogshit
I love this movie. It's perfect for whiling away a lazy Saturday with.
Corpus Christians try not to mention the legend of Billie Jean challenge (impossible)
Just came here because the Sun Rise Mall is holding a 80's Nostalgia walk and they are talking about this movie.
When corpuschristi was the best....
wow....sunrise mall is still exaclty the same looking. except EMPTYYY
Who remembers the Diamond Jim's by the Frost Bros.?
Hard to believe this mall Sunrise Mall is gone and it goes to show you all the good and innocent times are gone too and there is nothing left. This mall and every mall is dying all across the US and its b/c of the damn internet. Kids today dont' even know how good we have it in the 80s and life was simple and fun back then and you could do what you want and say what you want nobody cared. I really miss the 80s and 90s and now everything is hell and people don't know anything. They super suck now. I miss the 80s and 90s and people were singing and dancing and you can't do that now.
3:09 classic ha ha ha
It's in Corpus Christi, Texas (south of San Antonio).
As well as the escalators. :)
Vintage GI Joe's!!!
The mall didn't just open, I live right next to it and it has never shut down. It's been open since it opened in 1979. And yes, not only did can they not afford to keep the fountains running, but they cannot afford security cameras for the whole place either, only for some of the stores inside. The bad management was due to most of the main, well-known popular stores had changed location. And, well, it all spiraled downwards from there. The biggest stores left, and so the smaller stores didn't
*I OWE U one parking lot crossing bar - Billie Jean & Co.
@indiglo1971 What ever happened to Diamond Jim's? I remember for a period of time it moved across the street to Gulfway Shopping Center. The mall location had a nice setup. I liked it better than Aladdin's Castle.
You dont see enough Peter Coyote in movies now a days.
This mall looks nothing like it did before...I just go here for the dollar movies now. :b
get much business, so they were forced to leave. The only thing left in the mall are a few little stores, maybe about 5 - 8 at the most, and a dollar movie cinema. It's still very beautiful, which makes me a bit sad that nobody goes there anymore... The other mall across the street is constantly packed, and it looks like crap. Its basically just one giant long hallway full of popular stores like Abercrombie, Hot Topic, Spencer's, etc.
Every time I go to Sunrise, I can walk down the halls and
I have some sad news man. It's closed. For good. Burlington traded it's cool 2 story thingy for Moore plaza, and Sears? Gone. Dollar cinema and the arcade wrecked by Harvey, now all that's left of it is just... Disaster.
Sunrise Mall is a real dump today. Everyone shops at La Palmera now.
The gi joe toys man childhood memories
I cant find this full movie anywhere!!!
Same here
@UrbanSwagger thanks.
that parking garage wasnt at that mall. that mall didnt have a parking garage connected to the building. the parking garage used was in the downtown area. way across town.
I wish someone would post the whole movie. :)
@indiglo1971 Also, have to point out, it was where I first played Super Mario Bros. :)
I had that walkie talkie
Omg sunrise mall
@UrbanSwagger ware is this mall?
i love putter
Malls have all but gone by way of the dinosaur. Very sad for us 80s and 90s kids. I spent countless hours at our malls, shopping, hitting the food court and arcade (Diamond Jim's and Aladdin castle), going to the movies, chasing after chick's and just generally having a blast. The internet killed the shopping mall. One day soon there will be only a few left and they'll be more like museums.
try amazon
this is huey gun
Hubie!!
Hubie Pyatt got kneed in the nuts for a second time here, way too funny,,,lol. He deserved it very much. Billie Jean Davy is awesome, she is a hero in my book, so is Binx. Helen Slater and Christian Slater are awesome in this 1985 classic movie. This is one of my favorite scenes in "The Legend of Billie Jean". Love the song "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol, perfect song in this scene.
Slowest chase ever
Wish theyed make that movie free
I know this comment is old but this movie is currently free on TH-cam

All this over a scooter.
