Fun fact about the Cassell’s music: Cassell’s actually used to be in the San Fernando mall back in the 70’s. My dad grew up in that era and he remembers that very well. It was moved some time in the late 70's-early 80's.

[@edcassells]

We moved from the San Fernando Mall to our current Maclay St. location in May of 1984.

Awesome. Wayne's World was the greatest thing ever to 12 year old me - and my buds.

[@alexarnold174]

I actually visited a friend of mine in Aurora, Illinois back in 1998. Aurora looked absolutely nothing like the Aurora, Illinois featured in Wayne's World. I should have known that the movie was filmed in LA county. That's what I get for being naive. I absolutely love watching Kurt's videos. Please keep them coming.

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much for that. Many more on the way.

[@steved8193]

That feeling when you went inside the music store was very strange. It looks almost identical! Thanks for all your hard work on these videos.

[@80sLife]

Right? Thank you!

Same!

[@80sLife]

[@carloshernandez7874]

Growing up in San Fernando Ive been going to Cassell’s since I was a kid and that strat has been there since I can remember. I later met Tia Carrere in town too and just melted. This is one of my favorite ‘sfv’ movies!

[@gator9339]

Tia Carrere *Shwing!*

[@justinmyslive4108]

I was a freshman in high school when Wayne's World was released in the spring of 92. Living in Northwest Indiana about 80 miles from Aurora. One Friday night some buddies and I took a road trip to Aurora hoping we would find some of the filming locations still naive to the fact most of Wayne's World was filmed in California

[@avega2792]

I grew up in San Fernando and Sylmar and bought my first guitar at Cassell’s. Now I live in Illinois not far from the very Aurora, Illinois the movie is set in. It looks pretty much the same as it did in the early 2000s when I started going there. I joined my first band standing by the glass case by the entrance in 2003. Two brothers were just starting a band I overheard them and asked if they were looking for more people. That was pretty much my audition.

[@luisn818]

Dope man! I grew up in San Fernando too! On Hubbard and fifth. Never would’ve thought they used Cassells for the movie! Mind blowing haha

[@80sLife]

Awesome!

[@rodneybarr5735]

I hope you'll do one for Wayne's World 2 as well. It be cool to see the abandoned doll factory Wayne and Garth moved into, the park WayneStock was held at, etc.

[@battroidattack]

Is it just me that Wayne's house looks very similar to the McFly family home?

[@scrapmetal4163]

I thought the same

[@fmminformation]

[@MN12warbird]

Makes me wonder if any of those garages on that block have a 80s toyota 4x4 truck inside??

Yeah I realised that 2

Absolutely brilliant, I loved the guitar shop story as well. Fantastic video as always. Can't wait for the next one.

[@RPI79]

In 1994, i taped Wayne's World off TV and watched it 28 times in 2 weeks. Yes i was a couple of years late to the party... Whooo- oooo-oooo Excellent.

[@proudvirginian]

Garth's house has new editions, but it's the same house. Slowing down your footage and watching the fade into the remodel puts it into perspective. You were almost spot on with your before and after! Those two windows at the back of the B side of the house are still there and the garage is now a front instead of side entrance.

[@3mta3ko]

Excellent video! Thank you! Filmed in August of '91 on the Paramount Backlot, Stage 10 (No longer there. Torn down to make way for the new Post Production Building. The plane scene was filmed inside Stage 1). It had a low budget compared to the big budget "All I Want for Christmas" starring Lauren Bacall filming in Stage 18, Stage 11, Zukor Building, all Avenue P and the New York backlot. Stage 10 was one of the smaller stages and housed the Wayne' World set, including the TV control room. Dana Carvey would practice his drum sets inside Scoring Stage M (No longer there. Demolished) which had yet to be remodeled. Most if not all the studio's attention was given to "All I Want for Christmas". Rob Lowe and Kurt Fuller, wearing nice dress shoes, trying to cross a soap filled Avenue P (Now Michael Bay) Soap was used to replicate snow during the "All I Want for Christmas" exterior street scenes. They never complained, but, unlike the Costumer, just laughed it off. Lorne Michaels (his west coast office was in the Dressing Room Building) would pop in from time to time. Studio employees and guests walking by the Mirth mobile parked in the alley by Stage 10 wondering "what the heck is this". On occasion, pizza and beer at wrap for the cast and crew. Some of the scenes that never made the final cut were pretty funny. I hope they put them together for a "Behind the Scenes" some day. Thanks again for your research. Brought back many good memories!

[@80sLife]

Thank you! Did you work on the movie?

[@3mta3ko]

@@80sLife I did for a few weeks. A memorable experience!

[@astrojazzman]

I was there in Inglewood when they filmed that scene, I had some friends that lived in the area so we used to hang there.I got to see Wayne & Garth act these scenes out! 80s 4 life!!! 🎥🎞🎬

[@80sLife]

Awesome!

[@lowrivera]

I am from Inglewood, and remember when they were shooting there. We would often take La Brea to the old Baldwin Hills cinema, on the other side of the oil fields, which is actually where they shot Beverly Hills Cop.

[@astrojazzman]

@@lowrivera Yes that true! Them oil fields are still there.

[@BMBender129]

This was incredible! Now I want to travel around L.A. and see these spots for myself! I love Wayne's World too (and 2)! Fantastic job! 👏👏👏

[@TheCOZ]

Showing off the Crucial Taunt member knowledge. 😄

[@80sLife]

Haha

[@Anamnesis]

As a Chicago native who now resides in Wayne's home town of Aurora, it's amusing how so much of the film is recognizable as California because Chicago and Aurora look nothing like Los Angeles. 😄 Nearly all the Chicago stuff is just B-roll drive by shots of recognizable places, plus they do a lot of night shooting and never show the LA mountains in the distance. The plant life is also a huge giveaway they're nowhere near Illinois. Excellent sleuthing work to track down all these locations!

[@jedthehumanoid9953]

Good job Kurt 👍 One of my favourite movies and so cool to see the music store virtually unchanged in 30 years!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Garth falling on his keys gets me every time hahahaha! priceless, I'd take the trip just to see that area.

Excellent video. I live 5 minutes from where the big cars on a spike used to be as seen in the background shots as they were driving around in the opening scene. Berwyn, IL. It made it through the 80s, 90, 00s up to 2008. A guy made a repo of it at a toy show using matchbox cars....

[@evoivowner7732]

These are wonderful videos - thank you so much. Brings back wonderful memories of my childhood. These locations should all be treasured.

[@80sLife]

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

It's pretty funny for those who don't know, Stan Makita was a player for the Chicago Blackhawks and has the restaurant Stan Mikita's Donuts in this movie is a spoof of the Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons. Tim Horton was a hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs, which Mike Myers is (or was) a fan of.

New to your channel but I love what I've seen so far. I did bump into Tia Carrere back in 1996 in waikiki (she's from Honolulu) on seaside ave when she was inside a golf hop thats now gone. I talked to her for a minute & I got her autograph. She wrote "party on, Tia". Ironically it was next door to the Waikiki twins theater that I saw Wayne's world 2 just a couple years before.

[@80sLife]

Thank you for watching

[@gator9339]

Did you tell her Shwing?

[@luisn818]

Amazing video man! I’ve seen a few Wayne’s world filming locations videos but none had the locations you had. Excellent man! That waterfall looks small! Never thought they used the Burbank pass for the me biggs scene haha

[@80sLife]

Thank you I appreciate it! Yeah I was kinda shocked when I got to the waterfall

[@onewhitepony]

I thought same thing.. In the movie everything seems expansive and large but watching this the locations seem much smaller haha ex The donut shop and music store. Maybe just bc of camera locations or film rate stuff I have no idea about when making movies

I am from Inglewood! I remember them shooting the restaurant scene there. We would pass it when my folks would take us to visit family friends that lived on La Brea, right before you hit Slauson. I grew up on S. Osage, literally one block over from the Forum. I can confirm that the restaurant did actually look the way looks like in the movie, but like the music store in Covina, all the signage was for the film.

[@80sLife]

Awesome thank you for confirming that. A lot of people trying to say it's a different building.
