Boy Swallows Universe Filming Locations - Beenleigh Swallows Universe!

[@Mojojosie86]

I'm gonna be that one.. Its a Datsun Vanette, not a Suzuki Carry :P

[@FoodSack]

Thank you!!! They refer to it as a Datsun once and it has a Datsun sticker, but I could have sworn it was a Suzuki Carry, so I was confused. I was wrong! Thanks for clearing that up 😅

[@Mojojosie86]

I feel very petty 😅 Loved the series and this was a cool video, thanks!

[@FoodSack]

It does beg the question, which is sexier, the Carry or the Vanette? I do love the name 'Vanette', but the Suzuki wins it for me.

[@FoodSack]

I fully support this level of pettiness 😆

[@Mojojosie86]

@@FoodSack 🤣

[@bristwenty]

Live in Beenleigh, watching the show and knowing the places where it was filmed made it even more special. ❤❤😊😊

[@hoonigan0656]

Does it’s great hey I’m from Logan :)

[@genevievedingle927]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this tour was almost as good as the Netflix series - top shelf!!

[@FoodSack]

Haha, thank you 😊

[@greg4016]

That was fantastic, thanks for the effort you put in to making this. I live close to the general vicinity too and saw some of the filming at Cameron St. Much appreciated.

[@FoodSack]

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it 😊

[@Brendan.Wheatley]

I absolutely loved reading the novel, pretty bloody great for a debut. I've been apprehensive to watch the adaptation, purely for most adaptations aren't very good. Thanks for showcasing Trent Dalton, and as an observation, Beenleigh is still Beenleigh, used to live on Lehman's Hill back in the day, memories...

[@FoodSack]

As far as adaptations go it was quite good - I think the streaming era has been good for book adaptations, as they can tell the story over a few episodes rather than cram it into two hours. I remember the ending of the book being a bit more elegant with certain plot reveals, but I might have just remembered incorrectly (it’s been a while since I read it). Also it’s tough having to cast new different actors when characters age in a movie. No other choice though, really. Lehman’s Hill? Production was based on Spanns Road, across from Poppy’s Chocolates. Walking distance.

[@Brendan.Wheatley]

@@FoodSack You mentioning Spanns Rd, brought back memories of me as a young whipper-snapper riding my pushie down to that take away place situated across from the equipment hire place (theses days), and just under the railway over pass. Chicko Rolls were hot property back in the eighties. I'll watch Boy Swallows Universe, after I devour The Wire complete series for the third time, I'm a sucker for great and gritty film... )

[@FoodSack]

@Brendan.Wheatley Boy Swallows Chicko Roll. Loved The Wire. I think Season 2 was the best, but they’re all good 😊

[@Brendan.Wheatley]

@@FoodSack Look up Janus, an early to mid 90's ABC Police drama, very good writing and great acting by up and coming young actors.

[@FoodSack]

@Brendan.Wheatley heard of it - will try to track it down

[@Tcat506]

I live in Beenleigh, and i can't stop laughing at the voice over commentary on this 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious

[@FoodSack]

Thank you 🙏 😊

[@broll7805]

Watching the series now and is so good so far! Great vid! ✌🏼

[@FoodSack]

Thank you😊

[@drives_n_rides]

Grew up cycling around that area in the 90s

[@roxxedk9897]

Nice overview. Haven't watched the series but the trailer has a hint of Pinkenba Village at the start.

[@FoodSack]

You should check it out. I understand some of the driving scenes were around Pinkenba?

[@karenlou4794]

Loved it! Great to see an Aussie show with so many Awesome actors like Bryan Bloody Brown! Simon Baker was great as the kids Dad too. The kids must have had fun making the show😀 Nice little tour Foodsack👍

[@FoodSack]

I would drive past the set every day on the way home from work 😊 I’m glad it turned out good.

[@ronalamont]

Absolutely and YOU showcased that. Loved your commentary too!! Extremely detailed and informative but also such a hoot!! I loved when you pointed out the three angles they’d used in the parking lot scene but what we’d also have seen had they turned the camera in the other direction. You could do this for a living!! I loved the story and the acting and now I have a deeper appreciation of what the director knew he could draw upon to create his perfect location choices.

[@FoodSack]

@ronalamont aw shucks, you’re far too kind ☺️

[@ronalamont]

This was a very interesting commentary on some of the locations used in this great series. I work in film and think it was a great thing to document and showcased the director and DP’s vision and the art department’s talent to transform the buildings when necessary. Well done!! Loved it.

[@FoodSack]

Thank you so much!!! I think they did a great job 😊

[@ronalamont]

You did a great job too!! I’m celiac but I’m going to check out your food ones too just because I love your style, humor and professionalism!!

[@FoodSack]

Thank you so much 😊 I do put in a fair bit of effort, so it’s good to hear it’s appreciated 👍

[@ronalamont]

Credit where credit due!! 👍🏻

[@jameschurchley]

Really enjoy your food reviews but this stuff is my bread and butter. Would love to see more of this type of content. I also live near Beenleigh so was fun to see locations I recognise

[@FoodSack]

Noted! Might do a tour of the locations from Fortress (1992) next 😆

[@jameschurchley]

⁠@@FoodSackI had no idea the red bridge appeared in Fortress (1992) 😂 Would watch that

[@FoodSack]

@jameschurchley I saw it when I was quite young, probably when it was new to weekly in VHS. The sex and violence made a strong impression on me. I found it out on Logan’s very own page dedicated to the red bridge. They’ll need to update it.

[@ken_tiki5241]

Jumped on the BSU bandwagon late so had to watch this vid again after watching the series to get the context. Nice work 👍

[@FoodSack]

Thanks mate! Hope you enjoyed it 😊

[@GiuseppeBasile]

Awesome story telling and editing in this one Food Sack. Well done

[@FoodSack]

Cheers! 😊

[@GiuseppeBasile]

@@FoodSack seriously this upload was next level. Hope you smash those views.

[@FoodSack]

That’s very kind of you Giuseppe. Feel free to share it around 😛

[@hapticmusing]

It's the only book I've read in the last 5 years!

[@FoodSack]

Nice!

[@TheAbz202]

They also filmed at the stones corner.

[@jaydaykoth]

I live near Beenleigh and I’m fairly certain the aquatic center was recently demolished for some reason

[@FoodSack]

It was! I think they’re upgrading it. Mural of Princess Di is still there, I think.

[@jaydaykoth]

@@FoodSack yeah it’s still there I saw it today

[@GeorgeRainey-s4v]

interesting video but as someone who used to live 5 mins from beenleigh (bethania) way back in 1984-1990. I can tell you the Beenleigh of now is VERY differant to back then. in particular the old railway station with the park(long gone) and the main street with coles at the end is completely differant and built up compared to back then

[@FoodSack]

And it’s still changing yet! The dept of transport has been demolished and replaced with a whole complex

[@BlackCatFilmProductions]

I'm hoping to do a tour of the Boy Swallows Universe Film Locations later on my channel too.

[@FoodSack]

Sounds good! They covered a lot of distance, hence I only covered Beenleigh 😛

[@ldude]

don't really know what the hell I just watched, but yeah, it's done, tick ✅ 😂

[@FoodSack]

Glad to be of service 😆

[@whyisgamaretaken]

I’ve got to watch this show, it looks like aussie breaking bad. Have you watched talk to me yet?

[@FoodSack]

It’s not quite up there with Breaking Bad, but it has some really good performances and an interesting story. I haven’t seen Talk To Me - is it good?

[@whyisgamaretaken]

Its an australian horror movie by rakka rakka and its really good@@FoodSack

[@juliehorsten8778]

haha incredibly popular courthouse!

[@ShalingLong]

another food sack W

[@FoodSack]

Thank you 🫡

[@karlmartin5687]

popular spot that court house

[@FoodSack]

There’s always some interesting dudes hanging out the front with their shirts off. Off-duty barristers, maybe?

[@bristwenty]

Yeah should see the ques sometimes, end up halfway up the road to the NAB

[@ginns-01]

Go Beenleigh! One-day we will shake that very outdated stereo type.

[@FoodSack]

Getting there!

[@TheThirdThomas]

Beenleigh? I don't even know Leigh!

[@FoodSack]
