MANNEQUIN (1987) Filming Locations | PHILADELPHIA, PA

[@johnhaughey8346]

I grew up in Philadelphia and remember when the movie was filmed back in 1986. Most of it was filmed at night when the store closed, so they pretty much had the run of the place. Andrew McCarthy said he felt like a vampire trying to get used to filming at night and sleeping during the day. Pretty in Pink was released in theatres when McCarthy was in town.

[@sheilabloom6735]

I am an ex-Philadelphian and seeing Wanamakers made me so nostalgic.

[@someguy2998]

Total 80s flashback. Thank You!!!

[@joegutierrez7310]

That’s was a cool tour. Me and my kids really like that movie.

[@pinkcarnation231]

This quirky movie crawled right into my heart when I saw it in the theater. So glad you really like it as well! Good job on the video!

[@angelalinderman9985]

Love this movie!!!! I still listen to " Nothin's Gonna Stop us Now" all the time, I'm so glad these movies are still loved and remembered!💓Thanks Jordan and Jah!👋👍😍

[@angelalinderman9985]

Side note I always wondered what became of this building! I'm so glad it's still a department store!

[@Baseman0727]

Thank you so much for this. This was the very first movie that has made me the hopeless romantic that I am today ha ha. This movie when it came out as a child is one that I hold near and dear to my heart.

[@paulbruno8327]

I saw this film when it came out on a date with my girlfriend. Absolutely love the film! At the time was very curious of where the store was because it was so beautiful. Built in the days when stores and train stations were like palaces! I absolutely love that time period. And the Golden Era of Hollywood! Thanks for doing this vlog! Safe Travels J&J 🍀

A vlogger called “the old curiosity shop” has vlogs around Christmas time with the Macy’s organ being played. It’s pretty amazing.

[@timbuege2624]

Such a great movie and fun movie locations tour!!!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!!

[@imVision1]

This movie is one of my favourite 80th films, I watched in Germany as a kid. Im from Poland a Land that has changed in 35 years so much that many places looks total different, but here it is great to see after 35years the places looks like almost in the movie. Good work, thank you 👍

[@Boomerang0875]

Amazing how it’s all almost exactly the same after all these years. Great job!! I’m going to watch this movie tomorrow. It’s been years.

This is one of my top favorite movies of all time! Perfect cast. Great little story. Loved Hollywood. Loved Rambo. Loved the relationship between Jonathan and Emmy. And especially loved the ending. Thanks so much for this fun vlog, Jordan!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS.. Watched a similar video to this last night, and loved this movie since 1987 - must have watched it 50 times or more (don't worry, we all had a crush on Kim back then!) ..I live in Liverpool, UK but plan to get to Philly & New York one day, and guess where i'm going first!

[@forbrich2290]

Thank you for the effort making this video. I loved the movie, its really cool to see the locations.

[@v.nikkijohnson]

WOW, I haven't watched any of your videos in months, and you haven't missed a beat! I would have never guessed that you would vlog this!

[@ChristianHansard]

If I could afford to travel a lot seeing random movie locations is what I'd do. I always enjoy yours and Adam's vids always look like so much fun.

[@pilargemina1521]

mannequin great movie haven't seen it in long time but gonna go buy the DVD thanks Jordan 👍

[@teresabelisle6643]

Thank you Jordan. My favorite movie also. Could watch it all day, and rock out to all the Starship songs.

[@QuinceyG]

This move was so underrated. I always loved it back in the day. This was so fun to watch. :)

[@blizzardbaby]

OMG, Mannequin was a favorite movie of mine and my sister growing up! :) Also, it was great to meet you at Elvis Week, Jordan.. I met you in the lobby of the Holiday Inn. Hope you come to Boston someday! You'll love it.. so much to see.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Great to meet you! I remember! I hope to get to Boston soon.. thanks for saying hi

[@blizzardbaby]

@@DazewithJordantheLion Sure! I recognized you right away. I’m friends with Trey Miller who I think you know too. What an unforgettable week!!

[@Spook1234-e8i]

I watched this film in the theater in 1987, it was fun and a very watchable movie and magical. And then the Jefferson Starship song at the end really added a powerful punch of even more magic to it.

[@Drackleyrva]

Great nostalgic video! The floor tiles at Boscov's look the same too.

[@signsofthepastime]

Great job as always, Jordan! I loved this movie as a kid and even convinced my wife to make Starship’s “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” as our wedding song! We’re married 20 years tomorrow

[@vanshteffy4645]

Thank you for this tour of our great movie. I was at a party years ago and entered a room where a lady was sitting and I said hello only to discover she was a mannequin. This gave me an idea to rent mannequins to people going out of town. I own a retired school and have placed 20 mannequins in different outfits around the building. You can buy mannequins from Walmart or Amazon for under $50 delivered.

[@linfun1]

Love, love, love this movie. My husband is from Philla and familiar with this store. I’ve been to Wannamakers that were outside of the city but never to the flagship store. How much fun!!!

[@bdockham]

Jordan, your videos rock - you seem to always find my childhood favorites! Keep up the great work!!

[@Heather-q6p]

I LOVED this movie when I was young! This is so interesting. The Wanamaker building is beautiful and such a neat piece of history, regular and cinema. Thank you so much for making this video. Glad to know there are other people passionate about the mannequin!

[@mynameisvna]

This is one of my favorite movies. Watched so much as a kid and I think I am gonna watch it this week. So glad you got to go there. That is one beautiful building!

[@outsider238]

Excellent job hunting down those locations! That couldn't have been easy. Thank you for letting us see cute little Jah as well! 😍

i am a big fan of the 80`s movies! The match between the soundtrack and tthe movie defined an extraordinary magic which enthralled millions of people around the globe! My best regards to all the cast members who afforded this magic moment into our lives.

[@kathywatts9539]

It’s fun to hear the excitement in your voice when you do videos that you enjoy so much !!!!!!!

[@kilncurvis7057]

This was amongst my favorite too. I didn't see the sequel though. I enjoy watching James Spader & Andrew square off in this movie as they did in Pretty in Pink. I chuckle with happiness when I see Andrew directing an episode of The Black List. I really hope that Andrew would have a part of an enemy or a frienemy to Spaders Reddington on that show someday.

[@racheldelgado5646]

Love it ❤️. One of my favorite movies. Need to see it again. Thanks Jordan.

Great video dude! loved this movie as a child…still might love it unhealthily lol

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, that was great, I loved the film 'Mannequin'. How funny, I was only playing the music video yesterday 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now', what a fantastic song. Boy, that Sales Assistant you spoke to in Macy's has got some Macy's years under her belt if she was there when it was filmed. Jordan, you should have took Jah around in a little trolley cart ha, ha. Great job Jordan.

[@tiamia7139]

That would have been hilarious! Jah at the Cosmetics counter shopping for doggie eau de parfum (he has everything else!) 🐶❤

[@redlady8296]

This was one of my favorite films as a lil kid. I never knew it was filmed in Philadelphia. Awesome 😎 vlog Jordan

[@Christine-fx6py]

Thanks Jordan for an awesome vlog! I love this quirky movie. I was able to meet Andrew McCarthy several years ago and he couldn't have been nicer. (The latest book he wrote "Brat: an 80's story" is a really good read.) Thanks again Jordan for taking us to interesting places!

Mannequin has always been my favorite movie. What a great video!!

Hey Jordan your matchups go unequaled Mannequin a fun movie with a classic Grace Slick song !!! My wife was there and heard the that organ ! Nice work !

[@Mr79Man]

Jordan, you did it again! Another great vlog. Classic 80's film I like a lot too. We're about the same age so most of the things you appreciate, I do as well. Funny movie. I haven't seen it in years and you were giving me good flashbacks. It was all coming back to me. We laughed at the same parts in the movie. I forgot how funny Spader's part was; what a snob. Cattrall was hot man. I was just about 7 years old, but whew, she was nice looking. And finally before you mentioned it, I had the Starship song in my head. Also good song. They just don't make em like they used to. Thanks a lot Jordan. God bless you and Jah.

[@ambera7225]

Thanks for this amazing vlog. My best friend from kindergarten Jill and I would watch this movie everyday, memorize the lines and would go to JCPenny at the mall pretend to be mannequins in the hat department. Jill past from cancer in 2015, thanks for bringing back the old memories.

[@kimma508]

I’m sorry about Jill passing away but it sounds you guys had fun together. You two sound like you were a fun pair!

[@guynethdailey1759]

I haven't seen this in years but I really loved Hollywood. He had me rolling in laughter.

[@Cardoo46]

I’m always in that Macy’s at Christmas time for the big light show where the organ pipes are, and the Dickens display upstairs that they have. I lived there when they filmed Mannequin and they interviewed James Spader on the news. I didn’t know they shot Illustra (sp?) at Boscovs. Glad you blogged that movie. I forgot all about it. I wish they still made movies like that.

[@MeltWithU]

I remember when they started filming this at the Camphill mall. It was right after the mall was finished, but I’m not sure it had opened quite yet. In any case, it is so cool seeing the store in the movie which are used to hang out in so much as a child. Brings back the great childhood I had and the incredible times I had there with my grandma and friends. Such an incredible area to grow up in, especially in the 80s with three huge malls within minutes of each other. Being Camp Hill Mall, Capitol City Mall and the Harrisburg East Mall. Three incredible malls all within minutes of each other a great place to hang out as a kid. With incredible stores and great arcades, not to mention some great food. Took my first girlfriend to my first date at the theater in the Capitol City Mall to see this movie when it first came out. Great times!

[@mannymelendez7511]

I just finished watching mannequin: on the move. Love these movies since it’s filmed in my hometown

[@kimma508]

I grew up in Philadelphia and was 11 when Mannequin was filmed but I knew the locations. Fortunately I went to high school in center city (Hallahan) and was in 11th grade when Philadelphia was filmed. Very cool when I got a glimpse of Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. One place in Philadelphia that is a must see is Fort Mifflin. If you go do it in October when they do lantern tours at night. Very creepy and I got the chills more than once. Fort Mifflin dates back to the American Revolution and is fascinating in the day and scary nighttime. It’s also very haunted.

[@joeleeper214]

[@nfunk9005]

Thanks for this video! It was great to see the inside of Wanamakers again, and knowing that is still there! Philadelphia has been locations for more movies than you'd think. Shooter, Trouble with Angels (1960's movie with Haley Mills) filmed at Arcadia University. The Reading train station in Witness. And of course Rocky! (did you run up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum like Sylvester Stallone? What a workout!) :-)

Hello Jordan! So many great locations from this movie. I've always loved this movie, so much fun. Great music. Thank you so much for doing this video. Is this one on your bucket list to do it did you just hear about it? I love that they have those shirts. Have a great night, my friend. Blessings-Judith 🎭🎵

[@sheilabloom6735]

Wanamakers was the most beautiful department store ever. Everything about it was magic. The toy department put FAO Schwartz to shame. And, yes, it was "meet me at the Eagle" because the store then was not as open as it seems to be now. I also remember falling down marble steps to the lower level but those steps were not shown. The Christmas display was awesome. The film was shot in 1986 after I left Philly but seeing this makes me nostalgic. I must watch the film again.

Great video, thanks!
