The Ultimate HOOSIERS filming location quest ! 25 years later

[@danadbrown91]

My dad was an extra in "Hoosiers." Great movie and great story of Indiana Basketball! Born and raised a Hoosier.

[@SLYSPYHIWAY90]

That's our small town America. It's nice to know that some things don't change. This was a nice walk down memory lane,well done.

[@6270dan]

I remember going to the theater with my dad and whatching this movie. My dad helped build the old Hoosier dome.

[@TampaJay]

I don’t know how I missed this. My dads going to love this. I know I’ve mentioned to you I am from Henry County and my involvement with the Hoosiers Gym and Indiana basketball, but I also knew many people who where extras in the movie. The man that played the trainer was a good friend of the families His name was Ralph “Whitey” Shively. I have a good story he told me about him and Gene Hackman he told me and my grandfather right before he passed. I was looking for your Return Of The living Dead Video and I saw this first. Very awesome

[@ItsAllForYouDemon]

I have honestly never seen this movie. As a kid, I was not much of a sports kid, so it just never seemed like anything up my alley. I have to say, thanks to this video, I plan to rectify this some 32 years later. Thanks for sharing this. Great job.

[@JeffrieW]

My mom and I use to watch this movie all the time when I was a kid. She has since past, so It's a special movie for me. Thanks Adam, this made my day. Keep up the great work!!

[@DougieFresh13]

Adam, you are as American as apple pie. You embody the best moral fiber I know. We need to be more like you. There's a genuineness that you possess and portray in and throughout the films you've chosen to make that brings out the best in the human spirit. Thanks

[@longone610]

Thanks Adam. I am a high school basketball coach and I periodically show this movie to my teams. It is great to see the filming locations as they look today. Sadly, at least one of the Hickory team has passed away. I would love to be able to coach a game in the "Hickory" gym....

[@advlandvideo]

+longone610 I bet that can be arranged. Message the Hoosier Gym page on Facebook. I never attended their annual games, but I have been fortunate enough to watch "Hoosiers" in the gym about 3-4 times.

[@chrisallen7911]

This is great! Thanks!! I wish the old white barns were restored.

[@tarasfunhouse]

Adam, thank you for putting so much effort into this filming location video of Hoosiers. It brought tears to my eyes. You're a special person.

[@Gannon2233]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Nice work going back to Knightstown Indiana and recreating some of the old sceens. Well Done!!!!!

[@JeffRWhitehead]

This was so well done, I've watched this video (and many others several times) but just wanted to mention how well put together this is with matching up the movie shot with your recreation. Thanks for the effort!

[@ecfeick1]

This is probably the best filming location video. You did a great job showing then vs now.

[@firemedic2816]

I know this has been up for a while but I am going back and watching some of your earlier vids...I have to say probably one of the BEST Videos you have done..(not that the other's aren't AWESOME but as far as content and splicing things from the movie into your videos) Thank You WOO

[@OliverAndDarin]

This is now my favorite AdamtheWoo video because I live in one of the locations in the video

[@Jradden01]

So awesome!!! I'm ready for basketball season now.

[@alejandroomi]

This is a real GEM! Thank you for making these videos to keep history alive in this fast paced world!

[@dc76384]

Watched this movie while on deployment in the Military...really made me miss home.

[@bmollenhauer70]

Awesome Adam! Best video of yours that I have seen. Love that movie and love living in Indiana.

[@1912fld]

Great job. I just wish you would have listed all the places where the movie was shot. I attended Butler at the time of the movie and remember seeing Hinkle Field House being used for the final scene. Great memories. Truly a great nostalgic movie.

[@korsondo]

Very well done, sir! I greatly enjoyed it. I actually wasn't much of a hoops fan until I saw this movie for the first time.

[@richardcains1259]

Nice video. Great movie....... coming up on 30 years in 2016.

[@JPilot2]

Your welcome, Adam! It was wonderful! I look forward to seeing, and learning more about your travels on the road. :-)

[@tmajcan94]

you're welcom Adam. One of my favorites you've done as well.

[@jkckmarcumful]

After watching some of your more recent film locations, I started wondering if you ever did the 'Hoosiers' locations. Sure enough, I scrolled away, and here it is. Thanks, Adam!

[@tmajcan94]

Mad hoop skills Adam. I love watching this video. Gives me goose bumps!

[@7viewerlogic670]

Great job Woo!

[@advlandvideo]

Excellent video as usual Adam. I have been in the Hoosier Gym many times. Even watched the movie in the gym a few times. If you return to Knightstown, I highly recommend the hand breaded tenderloin at Home Court Cafe. Kevin went all out with his basketball theme as he has with his home-made foods. Other nearby basketball themed must sees are Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle and Mozzi's Pizza Buffet in Greenfield.

[@Rexy725]

I'm a good fan of this movie. Thank you for taking your time to make this video

[@jazzbuffalo1]

Very well done, sir. Keep up the great work.

[@W7DSY]

One of my favorite movies. An excellent effort on your part, Adam.

[@tmajcan94]

got some mad skills there Adam haha! One of my fave movies of all time. Came ot the same year the Indiana Hoosiers won the national championship.

[@mrdss]

What a great video Adam! I sure miss you doing these types of videos! I miss the MAIN Channel!

[@briandrum1]

Wow.... Really-REALLY great job on this Adam!!! My father in-law absolutely LOVES this movie, as do I. I can't tell you how many times we've watched it together. Going to email it to him....he'll love seeing what everything looks like today. On a separate note, were you good ball player? Looks like you have pretty good ball handling....w/ the basketball.

[@jerber1961]

AdamYou nailed this one out of the parkYou Rock.

[@KaylaCasey]

binge watching old AdamtheWoo vids!

[@MarkWick]

Wow, nicely done! I have been to many of those locations myself. I knew many of the people in the movie. The opposing coach walking up to Coach Dale and shaking his had at about the 11 minute mark is Jack Schult, one of my junior high school football coaches, and the official who comes to the bench and asks if the team is ready to play is Tim Fogarty who played on the high school football team for which I was a manager.

[@sparkyo13]

Adam, if you see this, thank you. Love every video. All of them seem to be about every thing I'm interested in. Was the gym with the balcony seating St. Phillip Neri in Indianapolis? I played a few CYO games there as a kid.

[@JPilot2]

Dear Adam, thank you for tracking down as many locations as possible. Well done on your research! It certainly paid off! Good Job! :-)

[@TheGorillafoot]

We used to have Hoosiers on VHS. We got it from McDonalds when they were giving away movies. I think it was the early 90s. We'd watch it over and over again.

[@TampaJay]

Doughnut Spaghetti I remember when McDonalds did that. I still have a few VHS from that era and a little after. Ghost, Charlottes web, and I believe Adams Family. From McDs

[@AroundIndiana]

Being from Indiana I've seen this movie so many times I have no idea how many and love basketball. This is a great video!

[@lifehappens5936]

Adam, I live about 2 miles away from the actual town that this movie was based upon. Milan Indiana. They do have a very nice museum there based on the 1954 win against Muncie. Still just a quiet little town, I love being in this area!!

[@peterose4192]

i was in the crowd during filming... most off the crowd were real indiana locals... i spent 3 days of filming... to get about 3 or 4 minutes of movie time... so much fun

[@northstar2007]

Never saw this movie, but it looks like an interesting one, neat places and cool local history

[@racemont]

I just noticed this video. I lived about 5 miles from where this movie was made. I was even there as an extra for the basketball game scenes. If I had known you were going to be there I would have given you a tour of all the cool places around there. You were in Indiana about the time I moved to Florida.

[@idolmon33]

Nice job! I plan to visit the church and Knightstown gym someday soon. Best movie ever!

[@mrtuttle76]

think this could be one of your very best adam,sweet job man!!

[@dejapollo]

My brothers and I play basketball in the Hoosier gym like every sunday.

[@Creativeonthemend]

one of my fav old time movies seen it like over 50 times! I need to get up there and do a vlog!

[@MrTrlbnd1]

I really enjoyed watching this. You need to do one of the Blues Brothers.

[@joewanger8285]

Well done! Loved it! Thank you..

[@KristalynJGlitter_Mafia_Don]

HAHAHAH!!! Checl out at 6:00. That's me in the pink sweater to the left of the players....LOL.....thanks....too funny

[@Bradcroft1]

Visited today. Great video. Thank you

[@clairerochford9169]

funny thing is that the building that the fight took place at, I played a volleyball tournament there. It looks just like it did in the movies

[@blastoidboy]

Great stuff!!!

[@Hiei2k7]

Most everything in Rudy is either South Bend, UND, or a (most likely) abandoned steel mill in Joliet, IL.

[@coolerindy]

After watching, I went to New Richmond and had a beer in the old Barbershop that is now a bar.Wish I could of found the old house norman stayed in.

[@sjmunsey9475]

My husband played basketball there when he was growing up. Very familiar sites.

[@OfficialJoeKingOne]

Best one from Adam.

[@heffphilat]

Excellent work.

[@dpmfloyd]

well done! one of the best sports movies of all time. head over to south bend and check out the scenes for Rudy!

[@HawaiiMarine22]

Awesome, wish you'd have listed each location when you showed them today

[@natserog]

one of your best!!

[@joeysnyder7532]

Still one of the greatest basketball movies 37 years later.

[@laura20022004]

I actually never saw this movie I was pretty young but after seeing this I shall watch it. ( someday)

[@ehrldawg]

Love the movie !! Great vid !! "whats a man whos been ob the ocean for 20 years know about coachin basketball anyway !!"

[@SeamusMcBastard]

You should have gotten to Needmore Indiana while you were around and checked out the failed pyramid.

[@LTJACKASS858]

Great Video!!

[@gbleather]

This is amazing work! How did you find all the places from the film?

[@blazingwisp]

Sweet Video..... like always :)

[@ASFMitchelProductions]

Hinkle or Butler Fieldhouse is the same place where fictional and historical Hickory (Milan) won the state championship

[@jerber1961]

Just throwing this idea your way Adam,mabe one day do The Bridges of Madison County.

[@masongodby]

I actually play a basketball game last year at the Hoosier gym with my bball team that place is so tiny

[@longof99]

very well done

[@vwdarrin]

great vid

[@clay9333]

Woo’s got some basketball skillz!

[@steveshumard475]

Great video as always! What the heck happened at 7:34??

[@sermusicusa]

I think the hick was threatening Adam... haha

[@kingarthur730]

He said I'm going to shut (You're) power off so I think he was talking to Adam. He probably didn't like Adam recording over there. Sounded like he was threatening to shut Adams camera off

[@KristalynJGlitter_Mafia_Don]

She actually went to Grade school in the next town (Newtown) and HS at New Richmond (hickory)

[@KristalynJGlitter_Mafia_Don]

I was also in this movie. I am on camera for quite a fun scene in the Semi State game....

[@Ghunlayzie]

you're awesome!

[@Hadduck]

that church at 6:28, ridden my bike to it before

[@TeflonOTF]

one of my coaches was in that movie... shits cool

[@khonsmosis]

Next abandoned places exploration please...

[@apsmoke]

EPIC!!!

[@KristalynJGlitter_Mafia_Don]

My mom has some of the town from the 50s and 60s....but not from the movie. I could scan....let me know...

[@KristalynJGlitter_Mafia_Don]

I live 30 miles from Hickory Aka New Richmand, Indiana

[@KingHenryVR4]

so they knocked down the church to make room for more corn

[@bratina501]

It was a victim of an arsonist and burned down I think in 1994.

[@jonboydallas]

I'm glad you made the video, but you might want to plan better before you shoot. It seemed like a number of places you went to were closed. A call ahead and a better schedule might have allowed you to film INSIDE more locations.

[@StrawberryCream78]

Never heard about this movie

[@iLLEatYouDown]

what episode it is on 0:12 ?

[@christopher87311]

"I'm gonna shutcher pawr off!" wtf?

[@DocGorilla]

so you just drove around and found this stuff without knowing exactly where it was?

[@edubya33]

Lol ive lived in indiana for 17 years and Ive never seen the movie

[@Straywolf514]

Didnt they ever tell you Adam white men cant jump boyyyyyyy.

[@rebelnightrider]

[@KristalynJGlitter_Mafia_Don]

[@tberkoff]

[@tinkerbrittany]

[@susanfellers91]
