Some Kind Of Wonderful Filming Locations

[@cashgentry]

One of the greatest movies ever

[@marinab106]

I'm in my 50's and I soooo love this movie and Elias Koteas is awesome 🥰

[@PumaPete]

I was a junior at San Pedro High in 1987. I very fondly remember when they filmed this. My wife was an extra in the movie. She was captain of the drill team back then. The school looked exactly the same up until they started these renovations a couple years ago. Thanks for this video. What a flash back.

[@ralfi1221]

I still get tears when I see that all. Thank you!

[@andrelouis9422]

That movie was so special and still is to this day.

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

I'm still looking for my Watts!! Mary Stewart Masterson wasEVERYTHING!! Great video for a great movie..

[@djinnmagik2003]

Duncan is definitely the hero in this movie 🤟🏼😁 I LOVE IT WHEN HE PUTS HARDY IN "HIS PLACE!" 🔥

[@Armen567]

Great film. MSM is so awesome in this. And your Samurai is incredible.

[@aliali-ce3yf]

One of my all time favorite movies. How could Keith not see Watts was the right one all along? Great story, great soundtrack, great locations. Best 80s movie. Best coming of age movie.

[@mikehaney6512]

My grandma live on friget ave off anahiew, I know all the locations well. thanks for the video.

[@scm021374]

I was obsessed with this movie when I was a teenager. It was my favorite for a long time.

[@Madgoalie]

Charlie Sexton’s “Beat’s So Lonely” makes the party scene at the end. Music.

[@Jasonvoorheesplace]

My favorite John Hughes movie 🍿 it doesn't get the attention it deserves

[@jackedkerouac4414]

Def a movie that’ll feel new again upon a rewatch. Thanks, you’re the raddest when it comes to 80s / 90’s nostalgia

[@80sLife]

Thank you my friend!! 😁

[@robertclarkguitar]

This was my movie bro. Hahah. I am a drummer ..well i was for 27 years. Up til 05 ish. I used to love Watts character. The 80s were great. Movies made sense.

[@jonesyacdc]

I remember this film, music was brilliant.

[@minitrucker8835]

With the james spader reference... GOTCHA was one of my favorites in the 80's. Great flick.

[@SergioArellano-yd7ik]

Yes I'm spy

[@christianboyd4635]

I've always loved this movie, it's def my favorite John Hughes high school movie from the 80's. The soundtrack is also one of the best movie soundtracks of the day. Great video Kurt, I like how you took the advice and show the movie clip first then the current shot. Keep it up!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!! I base it on the location... sometimes that style Is necessary and other times it's not. In my opinion. Thanks you again.

[@michelerogers6340]

This was great!! My fave part was seeing your Suzuki and you walking down the train tracks!! Super cool

[@80sLife]

😁 thank you so much

[@nativebullet7333]

Great work. Well done.

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@ga41867]

I was working at the LA County Museum of Art when they filmed the scenes inside. This was August of 1986. The film shows a different museum on the outside, maybe the Getty. The scenes were filmed in the Ahmanson building which has been demolished. Where Duncan greets them was the employee entrance which at the time was off of Ogden Dr.

[@80sLife]

Ok good, I was right about it being demolished. Thank you for clearing that up.

[@1axe2grynd]

such a great movie that stays with you forever

[@80sLife]

Agreed

[@davidgoodman6924]

Love this movie! So 1980's nostalgia! Thanks Kurt!

[@80sLife]

My pleasure. Thank you

[@lopezrome1982]

I just rewatched this movie this past weekend on Prime.Thanks for the video

[@80sLife]

My pleasure. Thank you!

[@TheProphetJoshua]

What a cast. Marty and Jennifer. Nightbreed. Casey Jones. DJ Tanner.

[@80sLife]

Right?

[@scotness]

The way you say, Watts is so moving

[@seibervideo]

Ah, a movie with two of my crushes. Lea Thompson and Mary Stuart Masterson. 😍

[@80sLife]

It's a win

[@SatoshiHODL]

Kurt, you really need investors to grant you a budget to do this and build a team out to help you. You do such an amazing job narrating and researching, etc. Thank you for what you do!

[@djd3vi0us]

This channel is the best for all my favorite movie filming locations from the 80's

[@80sLife]

Thank you!!!

[@angelavigil7400]

oh yay...you finally did this movie. All over Wilmington (my hood) and San Pedro...I love it.

[@80sLife]

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you

[@pjdexter168]

My favourite Hughes movie. I remember as a kid in the 90s watching the ending as the credits roll, thinking, I wonder where that street is. Thanks for another great video.

[@80sLife]

My pleasure, thank you!!

[@karenbrown2135]

Another one of my favorite movies from the 80’s. I have this movie as well on DVD.

[@ChrisRoth1972]

In LA they tear down so many places & rebuild which is a good thing to keep things fresh. You are my favorite vlogger when it comes to 80’s filming locations. Thank You 🙏 for all your hard work & research to find all these locations!!!!

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much, that really means so much to me!

[@joelvela4366]

Very cool I enjoyed this. That's my favorite movie and I was in love with watts, crazy times.

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@centuryrox]

Great job! Unfortunately, it seems like more and more filming locations of some of our favorite movies are disappearing forever.

[@80sLife]

Thank you! And yes, it's true

[@gegen_Dummheit]

Ich danke dir sehr für deine 80er Videos. Einerseits freue ich mich sehr darüber, die Locations zu sehen, andererseits machen sie mich traurig. Die Zeit, die seitdem vergangen ist, wie viel sich verändert hat. Der eigene Verfall wird einem hier schmerzlich bewusst. Ist wirklich schon so viel Zeit vergangen??? Danke Dir!!!

[@iantrigg1064]

If anyone done this 80s classic location. It's you...cheers dude

[@80sLife]

Thank you!!

[@j75099]

Great film. The novelization is good too.

[@80sLife]

[@B4dlands]

[@80sLife]

Thank you. It's one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Trust me, I'll do it.

[@soccerboy22100]

i was going to san pedro high school when they filmed this movie there. well they filmed it right after school got out for summer break. i auditioned to be an extra in the movie, yes all the kids in the background were students from the school, but i never heard back from anyone about that...

[@80sLife]

Aww bummer. Thank you for watching

[@yellowsubmarine1321]

Love that movie✌️💖💖

[@80sLife]

It's a good one

[@WILEO.]

Superb like always 👍

[@80sLife]

Thank you!!

[@doggerproductions]

Another Kurt classic....cheers mate👍🇬🇧

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@davidtaylor6663]

you scene reenactments are the best. Great work Kurt Crucial!!

[@angelalinderman9985]

Great 80's flick, yes John Hughes rarely filmed outside of Chicago! Hardy reminds me of Stef! The rich jerk. ( as I was writing this you just said that also! LOL) 80's minds think alike I guess...😎 very cool!

[@80sLife]

Haha. Awesome! Thank you!

[@AngryAsianOG]

Another great one… I actually forgot about this movie! Thanks for the work my friend

[@80sLife]

My pleasure. Thank you!!

[@bunnyfaceface]

Wow! This is incredible!!!! I knew about the Rolling Hills location but not the others. Great job! 👍

[@80sLife]

Thank you!! 😁

[@pinebarrenpatriot8289]

At the beginning of this video I thought you were going to stop your vehicle and say "Keith Cmon....cmon!" like Amanda did when she was driving away with Shane. I love the 80's 👍

[@Bill74580]

I love your videos, keep them coming….. and hello from Australia 🇦🇺

[@surfshack2]

Dude your Suzuki Samuri is totally awesome!! 😎☀🌴 Alright Hamilton! I know! That scene where Duncan shows up at Hardy's party is one of the best scenes of the movie. I agree.

[@80sLife]

Haha thank you!!

[@Mbeck250]

Dude, you are the best! I love your reenactments. And nice ride!

[@80sLife]

Thank you so very much

[@ericmedina7798]

Another awesome vid! The 80s had a magic about them that only one who grew up then could understand! RIP John Hughes! Was thinking about another movie that would be fun: three o’clock high!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!! That would be a fun one and I'm sure I'll get to it. And I definitely agree about the magic of the 80's

[@TheLeedsAppreciationSociety]

Definitely true about the 80s magic. An amazing time.

[@magamaga1827]

As a New Yorker, it's funny how "LA kid", Duncan, has a NYC accent.

[@Brianthomas24]

Thanks for the flashbacks-Saw this in the theatre when it came out, such a great movie and soundtrack! Pretty In Pink is still my all time fave, but SKOW is pretty solid!

[@80sLife]

My pleasure. Thank you. And I also like Pretty in pink just a tad better

[@mackey8813]

The girl hardy is talking to at the brick wall is chyna Phillips.

[@80sLife]

Yep, I forgot to mention that fact

[@Bringos76]

That was excellent!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!!

[@martinbaccardax5366]

Hardee's house on South Hudson sold for $9.3 million last August! 9,100 square feet and a pool in the back! ;-) Love this new streak of Filming location vids .. they're all great!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!!!

[@montydagreat5714]

Incredible work as usual Kurt simply amazing but also to mention, Hardy’s first girlfriend was Chynna Phillips from the 80’s girl group Wilson Phillips (Hold On)

[@80sLife]

That's right! Can't believe I didn't mention that. Thank you!

[@diegoc7894]

Gracias Kurt!! desde Argentina mil gracias por llevarme hasta alli... una de mis peliculas preferidas de todos los tiempos.... Sos Gigante!!!

[@meltingmovies1945]

I don’t know what took me so long to find your channel. I started a channel of my own. All about Movies, music and Toy collecting. Being such a big movie fan I have always been on the hunt for good movie location KZbinrs. You my friend are Amazing. I’ve been hopping around your channel binge watching some of my favorites movie locations for 3 days now. I’m barely sleeping. I’ve watched many KZbinrs try to entertain and authenticate these shots. You absolutely nail it. Excellent work!!! This stuff drags me right back to my childhood. I lived at the movie theater in the late 80’s early 90’s. I’d save my lunch money and starve myself just to catch a flick every day after school. I’m just flawed by how precise you are……Awsome

[@magnumpi8097]

Love your work. Thank you for taking us down memory lane. Love this movie❤

[@joshuaross4644]

Another great video 👍 I also wanted to say how cool your Samurai is 👌. I was a Suzuki Tech BITD and I used to work on them. Here in Australia they were called a Suzuki Sierra Keep up the great work and bring on the filming locations for Fast Times & Boogie Nights 😎

[@80sLife]

Thank you! How awesome. I wish you were here to help me with my Suzuki 🙂

[@TheNeverPlayedSymphonies]

I graduated from SPHS 🏴‍☠️ the year they filmed this movie the summer of 86’

[@80sLife]

That's rad

[@grahambiggs9822]

Thank you so much. Absolutely loved this film and always thought it was the best american high school movie. Soundtrack included the March Violets and Propoganda and I watch it at least twice a year even now. you did a great job and thank you for sharing - loved it !!!!!!

[@80sLife]

Awesome. Thank you so much!

[@AGhostintheHouse]

I've been binge watching your videos since I've just discovered your channel today because I went from 14 to 24 in the 80's so this was my decade, I'm enjoying your channel so that I have to subscribe!

[@bbvision2987]

Stumbled on your channel. Immediately sub'd because I owned a Suzuki Samurai. That was the best car to have for getting around D.C.

[@80sLife]

Awesome!! Samurais rule! Thank you!

[@DalV]

you're literally my favorite youtuber

[@80sLife]

WOW!!! Thank you so much!

[@mikehaney6512]

san pedro high school, wilmington ca, palos verdes mall.

[@dominichill1492]

Another good video 80's Life. You always find the actual locations of the films. One day you should do the locations on "Can't Buy Me Love" movie.

[@RaffBuilding]

Well, that would involve a trip to Arizona, yes?

[@80sLife]

Thank you!! Oh trust me, it will happen

[@chuckfan1]

@@80sLife did you redo this one? Thought you'd already done this one

[@mikesievers1482]

Funny this movie just popped into my head just yesterday for some reason and here you are doing a location video .. Crazy ! 👍

[@80sLife]

Awesome!

[@stlrsfan27]

[@imwaytogoodlookingtobeyour1188]

Very cool as always....can you do the movie Stand And Deliver 1988

[@80sLife]

Absolutely. Love that one

[@biscuit4christ]

I used to work for a company that provides IT services for LAUSD schools, and I've been to San Pedro High School numerous times. I see they're renovating the campus.

[@80sLife]

Yep. It's gonna all be different soon

[@jetknight7562]

[@DNR5586]

Your channel just recently popped up in my feed. Really enjoying these '80's movie filming locations. Oh and that black Z28 @ 7:13!!

[@80sLife]

Awesome! I'm glad it did. Thank you for watching!

[@joseyeastwood]

Man the nostalgia!!! One of my favorite eighties movies the Suzuki Samuri was a great touch and i never realized how much screen time the refinery received it should have its screen actors guild card for that 😁

[@80sLife]

🙂 thank you for watching

[@jackycheung2781]

Nice. Also there was a scene where the main character was in detention and the location was filmed in one of the classrooms downstairs by the side entrance of the administration building. It's nice to see the familiar locations in the movie, especially SPHS.

[@80sLife]

I really wanted to explore the inside of the buildings more, but was trying not to get kicked out.

Fab. I reckon the awnings may seem like a different colour on film, but they look to be the same old things from back then. Movie history !

[@ZoroWaldo]

Excellent movie 😎 great job in retracing the locations 🎥🎬 ✅. Movie industry has run out of new ideas pretty much for new content and remake old again, let's see if a modern remake is done of this classic 😊
