- “I know you are, but what am I?” With those words, Paul Reubens’ Pee-wee Herman became one of the biggest pop culture sensations of the 1980s, spawning several TV series, toys, movies, and so much more before controversy spelled the temporary end of the character. After a stage show and HBO special, Pee-wee Herman broke into the mainstream with the now classic 1985 film, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. The feature directorial debut of Tim Burton, the film put the young director on the map, allowing him to go on to make Beetlejuice and 1989’s Batman, plus it also established Oingo Boingo frontman Danny Elfman as one of the most talented young composers in Hollywood.
In this episode of Where it Was Made, host Ryan Cultrera takes us behind the scenes of the classic film as he revisits some of the iconic places it was shot at in and around California. We also take a look at how the movie made Paul Reubens an unlikely star and how Pee-wee became a generational cult icon who’s still remembered fondly to this day.
Where It Was Made is hosted/written/edited, and directed by Ryan Cultrera. Let us know in the comments below if you have fond memories of Mr. Pee-wee Herman.

RIP Paul Reubens, aka Pee-wee Herman. The world and characters you created have given me endless enjoyment.
Do you know I am really sorry he was going diad for years before New made movie
2023 in 1952 I just didn't know what's in 50s music in his own life story ture life movie all about it before
Yes I am really know I just heard diad before
I haven't watched this film in 30 years. But I watched it a hundred times as a kid. Every single clip from it fires parts of my brain that take me right back. So powerful.
Same! This is one of those movies I probably haven't seen since I was a kid, but I saw it so many times back then that watching these clips left me extremely nostalgic
James wan knows all about pee wees big adventure Tim burton James wan @@travelchic908
Rest in Peace King 😢.
I used to work at the Coach purse store at the Cabazon fashion center (I’m originally from Redlands). Had no idea this film was filmed locally in so cal.
Instant classic forever ingrained in my memories of my childhood. I can't hear the song tequila without seeing peewee!!!
I used to do that dance sometimes to crack up my family. Needless to say, I was a pee wee fan.
Agreed ☢
Check here on TH-cam; I think a few people have even memorized the dance! =)
This movie and The Sandlot when they all start puking on the carnival ride after using some chewing tobacco.
You don't want to get messed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie, a rebel...
We had very few films on VHS. And THIS is one of them. I couldn't get enough of this film.
Pee wee's contraption, the chubby neighbour, the alamo, TEQUILA!
So SO sad to hear of Paul Reuben's passing. This video helped in my coping after receiving the news. : (
My favorite movie growing up! I loved this video. The scene in the movie when Pee Wee is at the bus station and reunites with Simone, is actually in Burbank off of San Fernando Rd on this little street named Air Way. It's on Disney Imagineering property. When I worked there I didn't realize it until years later after re watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure. My mind exploded!
The shot of Pee Wee driving right through that roadside sign gets me every time.
Even as a kid I remember watching that scene and love how he seems to just become a biker, meanwhile I knew riding wasn't that easy. Then he crashed and I remember thinking: exactly how it should've happened!

As a child of the 80s I must have watched this a hundred times. The song "Tequila" will forever bring images of Peewee dancing on top of a bar first and foremost.
Where he did the tight rope dance
@andrewgrove1691 It’s called the Big Shoe Dance, used to do in the in stand-up routine without any music, just him grunting - it was awkward and hilarious
😂😂👍👍
I loved this movie growing up. Francis was my favorite character, and the motorcycle gang bar scene was great.
One of the most underrated films of all time.
It really was something special
"Paging Mr. Herman.
Paging Mr. Herman at the front desk" :)
It was NEVER underrated.
DON'T DISRESPECT IT , BY CALLING IT THAT.
This movie WAS in is STILL a Classic.
I was 15 when it came out. Pee Wee ruled the mid 80s. The Tequila dance was probably the highlight of the decade.
@@rzn2258 Overrated is the most overused word.
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is a classic. Fun. Enjoyable. Entertaining. Rest in Peace our Pee-Wee Herman, Paul Reubens. Thank you for the laughs and one of the greatest and funniest comedies of all time.
Great job of tying together the right amount of interesting trivia within the locale shots.
One of my childhood faves....and that Hollywood museum is pretty awesome. Went there for the first time last year
Jan Hooks IMO does not get nearly enough love. She was a comedy genius with an incredible delivery and impeccable comedic timing.
Who was she?
@@rodneystanger1651 she was an SNL cast member when Phil Hartman was on. Sadly, all three of these comedians are gone now :(
Even when older she was fantastic with Martin Short in Jiminy Glick goes to Lalawood
I can’t say how many times I’ve visited cabazon since childhood during the summer. One of my favorite places to stop while on my way to Joshua Tree or Palm Springs.
Our world was BRIGHTENED by the sunshine when Paul was with us! There was laughter that was so SORELY needed and is even MORE NEEDED in these tumultuous days we are now living in! There was imagination, there was fantasy, and the ability for all of us to travel back to our childhood again. Paul so skillfully transported us there!
You were a beautiful soul.
Now the sunshine has gone out. But it’s gonna forever live in our hearts and through his movies. RIP, Pee Wee. You’ll never be forgotten!
RIP Paul and thanks for sharing! I grew up one block down from the original House and got to watch them filming it!
This is movie delighted and terrified me as a kid. What a masterpiece
I loved this movie growing up, must've watched it 100 times. My 4th birthday was even Pee Wee themed and my mom made a cake in the shape of his head lol. Definitely gotta give it a rewatch soon
I remember being on a bus, in California, on my way to my second deployment to Iraq. Looking out the window, I saw a big dinosaur statue, and thought "whoa! Is that from Pee-wee's Big Adventure?" I'm still not sure if it was, but I tell myself it was, because this was one of my favorite movies as a kid.
I'm happy for you that you made it back. 💙
This is fantastic! I’ve always loved this movie and I appreciate ALL the facts you shared!!! 👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I was stationed in San Antonio for five years. Every time we’d go to the Alamo, I’d purposely ask “where’s the basement” and make comments like “can you say adobe!” 😂😂😂
I'm going to go back and watch this movie again. It's been decades since I've watched it.
Tim Burton had done some live action shorts before Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Frankenweenie was what Paul Rubens watched when someone suggested Tim Burton to direct the movie. That was a live action short film he did for Disney (I think.). Not to be confused with the later animated feature length version.
I am not biased about Paul Reuben's past.
Every Pee-Wee made and his TV Show are absolute gold to me!
Reminds me of simpler times...
I grew up near the Cabazon dinosaurs. It was always a special treat to visit them as a kid. I also had pie at the diner that is no longer there. Sad that its gone.
I remember driving through the desert in Southern California on the 10 highway when I was really young. 1977 roughly. Mom taking us to Arizona on summer vacation. I was asleep in the front bench seat of our olive green Chevy station wagon, my sister’s asleep in the big backseat. It was dawn in the middle of the desert. My mom softly wakes me up “Lovey..Wake up.. there’s dinosaurs!” I shot up in the front seat & was amazed to see 2 huge dinosaurs in the middle of nowhere! Back then, there wasn’t anything else there but the Wheel Inn diner. It was magical & my favorite memory 🦕🦖
I visited the Wheel Inn when it was still around. They had NOTHING there to indicate the movie was shot there, not even a poster of Pee-wee. Oddly enough, they did have a number of cheesy portraits of Bogart and Monroe and such for sale, the kind of shit they have on Hollywood Blvd. It was just a regular greasy spoon diner. There's a big outlet mall nearby.
In the early nineties my brother was a high school freshman and happened to find a bright red pee we bike at a thrift store. It had tassels and all of that and my brother was great at mimicry and impressions so to See him going down the road with pee wee's laughs and chuckles coming out of him Was whatever beyond hilarious is. He still has the bike.
That was fantastic ! When Pee Wee runs the motobike straight through the sign, that's my favourite gag in the movie. RIP Paul Reubes :(
Absolutely love this movie! Thanks for this!!
The legacy that paul rubens left will be imprinted in many minds of many child hood memories of joy and happiness as he transformed into pee wee herman ❤❤❤❤❤❤thankyou paul rest easy fly high with angels 😇 ❤
The Peewee and hobo inside the train scene AND Peewee jumps out the train scenes where filmed in Oxnard and Camarillo California (right where the two cities connect)!! As said by both Paul Reubens and Tim Burton in the bonus features “Commentary” of the ‘Big Adventure’ movie.
Rip Peewee Herman
My high school is now attached to the SF Mission. The original campus was condemned after the 94 Northridge earthquake.
Still love this movie.
Rip peewee Herman. Thanks for the great memories and laughter.❤❤💔
I remember taking my brother to see this movie - I honestly did not want to see it! but I promised and we went! Large Marge - who you didn't show, scared the shite out of me! LOL! Great Claymation effect! The part about Bob Hope and his wife being buried in that garden was a shocker to me as well!
My 4 year old daughter loved stopping to see the giant dinosaurs while driving from LA to Arizona, and she's loved dinosaurs ever since!
I never saw this as a kid, but Pee-Wee's Playhouse was my show on Saturday mornings.
I wish I had this on tape as a little kid. :)
5:50 No, it isn’t. Stop repeating that lie. The actor is Raymond Martino.
I googled for both Raymond and Tim and the thug sure looks a lot more like Raymond than Tim.
I thoroughly loved Paul Reubens as Pee-wee Herman early on, and then … I kind of forgot about him until I heard about him passing away the other day…his last statement being something close to, “I’m truly sorry for not sharing that I had cancer and was dying.” What a kind, thoughtful person, though- when I heard his last statement I felt that I should be apologizing to him… I wish I had appreciated him more while he was alive. He was a sweet and astonishingly, talented character actor who when in his moment as PeeWee Herman, became exactly like I was when I was a 7 year old…. and if I may speak for all in my generation…was just like all of us kids at heart…It didn’t matter that I was a girl! I know you’re looking dapper Paul Reubens.. I’m thinking of you.❤
No matter what nobody say, that Large Marge transformation is still hideous till this day and well done.
I LOVE this MOViE
I bought this movie on TH-cam a long time ago & I still watch it(alone) but most of the time with my kids(my 5yr old son) who also really likes Pee Wee Herman & the NEW Pee Wee movie on Netflix so I had to show my kids the ORiGiNAL Pee Wee movie.
I watched this movie countless times(during my childhood with my baby sister).
Watching this movie as a child in the 90’s, I’ve always wanted to go to the place where the dinosaurs 🦕 🦖 are/were in this movie, fast forward over 20yrs later, My wife & I are both 33yrs old, I’ve been happily married for 14yrs, with 3 beautiful children(14, 11, & 5) & I took my wife & kids to Cabazon, CA in 2020 to go see Denny The Dinosaur & Mr.Rex & it was just as(if not) more amazing seeing it as an adult as it would’ve been seeing it as a child.
Can’t wait to take the family this year during the summertime(best time to go to Cabazon, CA).
Thank You Pee Wee for all of my GREAT childhood memories
My son and I enjoyed this movie a lot. Repeat viewings. Also we never missed an episode of the TV show.
I used to live near the Santa Monica Promenade in the 90s and it still looked very much like it did in Pee Wee's Big Adventure then. I got such a kick walking around there and seeing all the sights from that famous movie scene. Now it looks like garbage without any personality. At one end of the Promenade there used to be a Mall called Santa Monica Place. They tore that down, doubled its size, made sure it looks as non-descript and blah as possible, and that's what's there now. Why am I bringing it up? Because you once knew it as the Mall from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. RIP Santa Monica Promenade.
I never realized I'd driven right past most of these locations while I lived in SoCal! I did know about the dinosaur location on the I-10, it's pretty hard to miss...
We miss you, Pee-wee!
thankful I got to go to the actual house...wish I would've seen this before I went, I would've gone to all these places...this video makes me wanna fly across the country again
I said the same thing in a restaurant years ago just to be weirdly funny .
Homer : " large Marge
sent me here . "
Moe : " that's not possible
she has been dead for over 40 years . "
Barney : " I see
Large Marge all the time . "
😆 🤣
2:25 the "third street promenade" did not technically exist, as such, when this film was made. This is why it doesn't currently look like it does in the film.
Pee-wee was actually at what was called the Santa Monica Mall, which was redesigned into the Third Street Promenade in September 1989, several years after the film was made.
God bless you and your love ones forever, Paul Reubens. RIP.
Probably saw this movie a dozen times. Adults at the daycare didn't care what we did and someone had the VHS. Lol.
I love going to the dinosaurs. We only went there bc my dad got dates (the fruit) nearby.
Haven't seen this since it opened but still LOL. It requires another viewing.👍
I've seen one of those same production models of the bicycle with my own two eyes, as well as myriad other vehicles from the world of pop culture, at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois. Mad Max' Interceptor, the Mach 5, the ECTO-1, the Adam West Batmobile, and more can be found there.
Whelp, time for a road trip
Thanks for this!! Pee Wee's Big Adventure has always been one of my most favorite films of all time! In the top 5 of my favorite films, right up there alongside Say Anything, Teen Wolf, & Back to the Future. LMFAO, as a kid, I always associated the song Tequila with Pee Wee Herman, & I actually used to think that it was a song made for the film. Imagine my surprise, when years later, I discovered it was a song from the '50s, done by a group called the Champs. It's amazing to see what all the locations look like nowadays.
Excellent job. Devastated 😩❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this piece. deft touches throughout, you show so much respect to the sources. your effort shows. Great job.
This is fantastic. I loved this movie sooo much when I was a kid and watched it so many times. Haven't seen it in years but all these scenes are so familiar wow.. I just realized I've been to one of these locations years ago and had no idea it was in this movie 😂 Thanks for putting this together. You've made me want to watch this again!
You didn’t include the Drive In Movie Theater. That scene was filmed at The Studio Drive In Theater in Culver City, California. Unfortunately it no longer exists and was replaced by condos.
Well i had that misunderstood for decades... I was a kid when this all came out and i always thought the tv show came first.
❤ I loved that man's work. What a drag.
My kids loved this movie n now the grandkids do
Paul graduated from Cal Arts which is also located in the Santa Clarita Valley where the biker bar and the hitch-hiking scenes were filmed.
R.I.P. Pee Wee 💜🖤
This took me back to my childhood I loved pee wees big adventure where can I watch this movie now???
The Third Street Promenade !
I knew it.
I lived 7 blocks away for 4 years.
RIP Paul
Thank you for making this informative and entertaining video!
I’m hoping they paint the Trex in a grey suit and red bow tie in honor of PeeWee for a bit
We were in our 20s, surfing Wisconsin St. in Oceanside through the 80s.... we'd all come in to catch PeeWee EVERY Saturday morning !!! It was Ramen and Pee Wee, every Saturday !!! Great times..
Thank God we grew up when we did.
I knew the owner of that $36,000 eBay Peewee bike, the guy sold it in late 2014-early 2015 for close to $60,000. He managed a car dealership and was an avid Schwinn bike collector, from Calabasas CA.
Maybe there’s one person out there who will find this interesting.?.
"It's like I'm trying to unravel a cable-knit sweater that someone keeps knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting!"
This movie needs a Blu Ray release.
Should have done it with an audio commentary track from Pee Wee. The whole track should have been just him “HA HA, heh heh heh” laughing at his own antics.
My favorite line is when he says, I say we let him go.
I do declare that i love these segments 👍💯👍
This was so well done. Lots of great information.
I never realize this movie is a core memory for us 80’s kids.
❤❤❤ thanks for sharing, one of my favs.
this video showed me that pee wee had a penchant for knocking over many bikes at once like in dottie's bike shop and outside the biker bar...
Right after Paul passed away they repainted the T Rex in the gray Pee-Wee suit and red bow tie. I was lucky to get pictures before they repainted it.
God rest your soul Pee Wee .We didn't know how great you were.
Dottie voiced Tommy Pickles?!!! Learn something new every day...
The man was a legend and legends never die so sad the generation of today will never have these memories growing up with pee wee
The film Jumpstared Director Tim Burton and Composer Danny Elfman. The rest was history...
Thanks for making this!
Great flick, the second one was completely insane.
I miss Peewee already!
RIP Paul.. ❤️
Enjoyable watching, thanks.
30 years later i had on ide atim burton did this movie and watched this ever day ion the 80s on vhs LARGE MARGE now tells me he did this cuz it waqs literally the unniest moment ever
Great Doc! Keep up the great work!
Love the laughing clown reenactment !
The scene where PeeWee calls Dotty from a pay phone in San Antonio, "Deep in the heart of Texas", was filmed at the boarded up Grand Central Air Terminal in Glendale. That building has now been restored.
My childhood love this movie
This was great! Thank you ❤
Awesome video bro. Good content and thanks for uploading this
This Video is GOLD. Love it man. 👍🏻🪙👍🏻
Elizabeth Daily aka EG Daily also had a moderately successful recording career. One song Love in the Shadows I do remember.
When Peewee was on Letterman, he did not say that everyone in his family had a first name starting with “H”, except him, he said that Peewee was a nickname, and would not say what’s his real name was.
Didn't know Elizabeth Daily did Babe in the second movie; I always assumed it was the late Christine Cavanaugh who did the first movie. Daily really nailed a similar voice.
No mention of Paul and Cassandra being in the Groundlings together?
RIP Paul 😢
Genius! Thanks for making this!
That was AWSOME
