A Clockwork Orange (1971) Filming Locations - Horror's Hallowed Grounds - Then and Now - Kubrick

So, you could almost say this was 22 years in the making from the first time I visited these locations back in 2002. I've been back several times and did a TON of research to get this one where it is today. A Clockwork Orange is my all time favorite film. Yes it isn't a horror film exactly but I think falls into that cross over cult film grey area that qualifies it to be presented under the Horror's Hallowed Grounds banner.

The difference between Sean's videos and most everyone else is he tends to only do videos on things he loves. That really comes through in the quality.

[@malfuncsean]

Thank you that means a lot.

[@TrentByrnes]

That is truly the difference

[@davew005]

When Sean does his videos it’s like he’s talking directly to you and no one else. There’s no pretence or acting. Genuine, honest and always worth watching.

[@malfuncsean]

Thank you. 👊

[@Sol-Cutta]

If you like this check out the ogs that I'm sure Sean will agree that status to them : Grimm life collective... Same great style and utter pro quality horror/sci fi/cult content...interviews, locations , true crime locations, live film nights with fans on KZbin, everything in between u can think of...tom savini had them at his house and u should see his collection of film props and statues ,it's like a museum, wall to wall with original film prop figures from alien to American werewolf .his collection must be worth millions..he used to go do SFx and make up for a film and they'd say how much, he would say ah just let me have the alien bust used in blah blah scene and they invariably would which is how he got masses, Friday 13th stuff and oh heck, go watch it.😂😂😂 Grimm's life...brilliant...Ive only come to this channel literally tonight so I'm a Sean virgin...looks good tho...esp if he came over from USA to do some locale filming.. tip for you Sean , get Ur English pal to ring the flat 100 owners, they more likely to allow a brit in for a look around..

[@mikegregory2492]

The best 'random find' I have come across on YT for months - this is real quality.

[@octaviussludberry9016]

I'll second that, same here.

[@burthuffman2802]

Along with you, this movie is my #1 of all time. A Clockwork Orange. I saw it 5 times at the Warner Cinemarama Theatre on Hollywood Blvd with a full house of people each time. The way this movie was made was like no other. Kubrick was nominated for an Oscar for directing and best movie but of course didn't win because he was so far advanced. I will always be under A.C.O.'s spell forever. It was beyond brilliant.However, he does have one Oscar for 2001. Thank You for the incredible tour!

[@Fonso13]

It’s funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the KZbin. Stellar job Sean. Thanks for this!

[@richardmcmurry9102]

This is the best clockwork tour to date. Bravo!!

[@LeeMcDaidDonegal]

Fantastic work, lads! It's a real joy to see historical films and their locations saved for posterity like this .. hats off to you, Sean!

[@Invisiblewiz]

The Filming locations are always the thing that fascinates me the most about Kubrick movies for some reason.

[@thomasmurphy101]

By far the best movie-related channel on KZbin.

[@jamiesilverman773]

It's not easy on KZbin to put up a video more than 5 or 10 minutes because of modern society's very short attention span. So I give you mad props for this video, you really knocked it out of the park! What an excellent job, I watched it all! It's amazing that some of these places are still around over 50 years later. I'm amazed and thrilled you found the trough!

[@malfuncsean]

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@TheRedDevil-1968]

Hi Sean. Little anecdote for you. Once, going on about twenty years or so ago, I once met the actor John Savident (one of "The Writers" friends at the dinner party) in an electrical shop. I was stood right next to him. I looked to my left, and there he was. I had a brief chat with him, not about "A Clockwork Orange" but a role he played in an episode of a classic UK TV series called; "Man In A Suitcase" from the 1960's. Nice guy. Still with us.

[@foxmulderGC]

Ashley, i say Ashley!!

[@TheRedDevil-1968]

@@foxmulderGC Yep. "Fred Elliott" from Coronation Street.

[@mhoppy6639]

John Savident also featured in two classic sci-fi serials in the 70s / 80s :- Blake’s 7 season 2/4 and dr who (briefly) in The Visitation, (fifth dr, Peter Davison) Love Clockwork orange and esp Wendy Carlos’s stunning soundtrack.

Love that there’s no fake BS with Sean and his videos. Only does videos on things that interest him so none of the pretend laughter or fake enthusiasm were used to seeing elsewhere. Really appreciate it.

[@AlexDroog71]

This is the best filming location video I ever saw.

[@frazzle515]

8:16 is what film fanatics crave, thank you for bringing this to our screens. Breathtaking architecture and view. Chills watching this, one of my all time favourite films. If you are ever in Scotland let me know and I’ll buy you a few pints.

[@terrywahl5040]

Wow wow wow, I’ve looked for that house outside the Japanese Garden, I can’t believe you found it bro. One of my favorite movies and soundtracks of all times, dude you are a legend, thank you!

[@dgambo1985]

That McDonald's part was surreal! How upsetting but great work with the music playing on top of that. The whole video is surreal but that bit played with my heart strings.

[@TheFanOrTheMask]

what a lovely homage to the film, true gent for covering this

[@williamr3840]

Hello Sean! My father was best friends with Dave Prowse, who played Julian in the film. They were competition weight lifting pals in the sixties, in London. Later in the seventies, when I was very small, he used to often be round my parents' house in Surrey -- I remember thinking that he was a real giant! :0)

And of course Dave went on to be Darth Vader !

A Clockwork Orange - like an orange with a clockwork mechanism in it - useless, who needs it. .

My all-time favorite movie. I'm glad there's finally a location video for this masterpiece. I'm also glad you're the one doing it. 😊

[@imyourgodmachine]

Your filming location videos are second to none! Exquisite job here! A very sincere thank you to all the people that allowed access to these filming locations!

[@timothywilson757]

My girl can't understand why any woman would like this movie, lol. That being said it is one of my favorites and I recently got a chance to see it on the big screen for the 1st time. It was even more phenomenal. If I ever go to England I hope to see some of the locations. Great vid! Thanks!

[@alastaircenter9596]

This is by far the most well produced and visually clearest I've ever seen these filming locations. It's as I'm there with you. Crazy. You hit the jackpot Sean!

[@joshmorgan838]

Man this was an epic filming location video. Well worth the hour. Thank you for the passionate entry you really did an amazing job in tracking down all of the locations.

[@debrovar]

This is amazing!! Not only did you get to the Jaffe House you went inside!! Brilliant!!!

[@FLAVCO]

I'm a brit. This is also my favorite movie. I first saw ACO in a bomb shelter in Israel on a Kibbutz in 1994 and it totally fucking blew my mind. Probably the only movie other than Star Wars to have done that!! Thanks for making this awesome video dude!!

[@hoodtube7920]

Absolutely amazing episode, Sean. Thanks for making these!

[@JoeinSeattle.]

An absolute masterpiece of an episode. Sean is the best to ever do it !

[@historex54tamiya]

I was born in Kent, a huge fan of Sean but sadly never watched Clockwork Orange, never realised this was on my doorstep, my family are or were all Londoners and I visited many of these towns if not all as a kid. Now I live in Devon!

[@michaelrelf6773]

What a blast seeing this. I used to work at Brunel Uni and remember John Bates. My office was in the lecture block where the aversion therapy was filmed and working in AV support, would head to lecture theatre E whenever I had the chance to soak up the vibes. Always felt crazy knowing Kubrick had worked there. Top work, really enjoyed this.

[@anaccount8474]

Thanks for making this, it was absolutely fascinating. I can tell you loved the detective work aspect of finding these locations and I can totally relate to that. It's such a classic film and these locations have become kind of special because of it.

[@Caffeine_Club]

Sean, you're the best at this. Loved your original content on the BluRays, and now watching you continue with these bangers on KZbin is most excellent indeed.

[@BoogeyManBen]

Absolutely brilliant Sean. This was an absolute blast. Wow! How amazing and thorough. Your on locations will always be the best because you are a fan and you are doing for your love / passion for the genre. You have inspired me and so many others. Thank you for all you do. Best always

[@RandomnessTube.]

This is amazing A Clockwork Orange is defo in my top 5 films ever i need to go see these places.

[@upallnightwithbob214]

One of the best one of these types of videos I've seen. You outdid yourself with this one.

[@jerrimenard3092]

The marina is fantastic. What a stroke of good luck. I can hear the music in my head. A Clockwork Orange is a classic as old as I am.

[@ModTrash]

I grew up in Thamesmead in the early 80's where much of A Clockwork Orange was filmed. By then it had become a very run down place full of heroin and gangs, pretty much like the movie. A lot was knocked down around the lake in 2014 sadly. Great video as usual, really love your attention to detail, keep up the good work!

[@malfuncsean]

Thank you!

[@AndrewChapman]

I used to live in Thamesmead too. Moved away in 2010, mainly cuz of the heroin and gangs as you pointed out. Not to mention noisy neighbours. Been back to visit there recently to see the new buildings. Feels a bit weird now.

[@charlessampson6426]

Absolutely loved this episode, this is as good as it gets if you can't do the actual tour yourself ( which you probably can't ) . Thanks so much for sharing. This is the bizzo, man!

[@sagedrummer]

This video is incredible! Never thought I would get to see some of these locations. Cudos to Sean for going to the UK to immortalize these.

[@mikeluxy]

Excellent Sean...Has to be the best location recce of Clockwork Orange I've ever seen...I love the way you also nailed the location in the woods with the water trough....amazing....101%

[@KirkRedgate]

Good video. It’s always cool seeing you in our country, enjoying the grey skies. Kubrick is my favourite director of all time. His films really are on another level.

[@nexpro6985]

Back in 2018 I was at the funeral of Andros Epaminondas. Andros was a friend of Stanley and a great character. One of the Clockwork crew struck up a conversation with me in which he informed me that his camo jacket was requisitioned by Stanley and worn by Billy Boy. In 1999 I was handed the Answer Print of ACO and used it to reproduce many sets of the original publicity stills. Losing Stanley was a big shock. He was the most gregarious recluse I ever knew.

[@TheMacabreGamer]

This was a freaking amazing video. So well planned out and you met some awesome people on the way.

[@Francis292]

Really good video. I once met Warren Clarke, in a bar in Birmingham. I said, "You were in, A Clockwork Orange." He simply answered, "Yeah." We shook hands and that was that. Really made my night. 👍

[@tdtm82]

Amazing work. That cinema is really amazing and so cool with those tributes. I really enjoyed that. It's getting harder to research these places and it's amazing how much is unchanged from shooting this film in the early 1970's.

[@TheWGONTV]

OMFG! I got chills watching this. My dream, if I ever got the chance to visit England, would be to visit A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and SHAUN OF THE DEAD filming locations. I’ve told this to tons of people, and I always say them in that order. These are bucket list locations to me, especially the CLOCKWORK ones. I love that film with a passion. So seeing this video was beyond amazing in every way. It’s incredible to see what locations still remain and what has changed. Things DO change. Especially after 50 years, but happily some things don’t. Anyway, I loved this video. Thanks for doing this Sean. You rock my friend. Larry D

[@pobstrel]

Sadly quite a lot of the Thamesmead estate where A Clockwork Orange was filmed has been demolished and rebuilt.

I've been catching up on HHG, this is amazing! The writer's house is definitely the coolest, a lot of the sets in Clockwork I always assumed were built because they so look so unbelievable. But you tracked down all the amazing architecture. On the topic of London, England, can we expect a HHG for my favorite horror movie of the aughts, 28 Days Later??? Keep up the good work, Sean!

Hey Sean, amazing work here, I went to the locations of this film back in 2011 with herve attia. Infact the day we went to the University there was an open day there so we just blended in with the other students and started filming, we didn't ask for permission either haha we were however questioned when we were filming the scene when Alex is getting his treatment with his eyes. The area of flat block( marina) isn't a great area of unfortunately( thamesnead South) and if you watch our video it looks pretty much like it did back in the movie but now it's all gone as we can see. Yep, we had loads of fun filming but will never drive around London again, lol Oh and you were in the right area of the troth scene..blindly woods
