Morgan Hiller (Spader) is an intelligent but bullied teenager from Connecticut who relocates to Los Angeles with his strict mother and his father after his father's business goes under. Morgan befriends Jimmy Parker (Downey) but struggles to make other friends. Trouble ensues when Morgan pursues bad girl Frankie Croyden (Richards), whose sociopathic and psychopathic boyfriend Nick Hauser (Paul Mones) is the leader of a local gang who had a run in with Morgan during an attempted mugging of a businessman. Morgan soon finds pursuing Frankie comes with harsh consequences. Morgan learns some valuable, harsh and hard lessons, and finds out how far he is really willing to go for Frankie. Ultimately, Morgan must face and fight Nick and his gang to test the bounds of his honor, and his love for Frankie.

It’s wild. Despite growing up in all of the 80’s and 90’s, I have absolutely NO recollection of this movie at all. But for some reason, I still find this utterly interesting.

[@PolaBurrr]

It’s free on Pluto

[@ronthatus]

It’s actually a good movie

[@SALTER818]

It wasn't advertised. Kinda of movie you stumble on in video store,, It's free on youtube but not good quality...

[@MrSUNGOD77]

I actually saw this movie in The Broadway theater in Santa Ana, CA. back when it came out 1985

[@Mookie_Wilson]

love this flick. just rewatched it a little while ago. Young Spader is awesome

[@cm-ih1jb]

One of my favourite 80s movies! Cheesy as hell but it’s ace! 🤘

[@TimLindsay]

love the bones hat kurt

[@OH.A.M.]

Wow! The 80’s were beautiful compare to everything now. You did an amazing job walking us through all those scenes.

[@user-sm2ql7nq4l]

80s version of Rebel Without A Cause. I have this on VHS and DVD. You did a a great for job. Classic 80s gem.

[@pjdexter168]

This is awesome, I literally just watched this movie again recently.

[@SatoshiHODL]

Man, your reviews of filming locations are the best and you’re introducing new or unknown classics to those of us that are old enough to have grown up during this era, but just missed out. Thanks K for all you do. It really is a great service to your subscribers and beyond.

[@sergiomontes5534]

Never seen this movie before, I'm going to have to look for it so I can watch it.

[@eramos7055]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!

[@Simini1083]

I LOVE that movie. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍

[@emiledinger2963]

Another fantastic episode Kurt! Im hoping one day you will do the 1986 Anthony Michael Hall movie "Out of Bounds." Great 80's LA movie, Starring Jenny Wright and Jeff Kober and even Jerry Levine(Styles from Teen Wolf!!) Performance by Siouxsie and the Banshees doing Cities in Dust. If you look close there is a scene with LA punk band The Joneses hanging out on Hollywood Blvd. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@gregoriopreciado6719]

Damn! Just Saw this movie the other day? And ask Kurt if he can do one on out of bound. ... guess I wasn't the only one.😉

[@shaqfoomusic816]

Been waiting on acting thing I’m stoked to catch this one day 1 lol

[@minitrucker8835]

Brings me back... appreciate the time and effort you put into the videos.. 👍

[@thismothafuckasaid7304]

Cool that real life Jim Carroll from "Basketball Diaries" has speaking role & is on soundtrack of Tuff Turf, too

[@feedthehungry1]

Man I had this on VHS and used to play it over and over again............Great Job Kurt finding these places I cant believe the way some places have changed like the high school............Wow bro what a trip it feels like a different life when I think back to that time I must have been 16 years old..........Unreal buddy thanks for the video it was worth the wait !!!!!!! Heath

[@FIGNAS83]

Never saw this gem. I'll add it to my list.

[@brianmcgill9434]

Tuff Turf was always a favorite! Another awesome movie location video!

[@courtney.malone]

Awesome!! I just found this on tubi!! I'm gonna watch it for the first time!!

[@un_loco_gringo7457]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jonasness]

Rad! I've been waiting for this one. I remember I wrote you about it when you first started your channel. Thanks so much! My buddy and I are going to check them out for ourselves someday.

[@blue_vicious]

Brought back a few memories. I use to live less than a mile and a half away from there through most of the 80's (till '87, actually). From my own recollection, Aviation High was defunct for decades. I believe it was already closed when they made the movie. One of my closest friends back then got on as an extra on Tuff Turf and got paid $20 a day for a few days....she was on the movie itself for about a milisecond. Lol.

[@johncasey281]

Great video: Trees have definitely become Kurts filming nemesis. :)

[@DNicetwice]

Oh my god 🤩 I just recently asked you about this funky ass film 😎🙌🏻 thank you man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jeffbeach510]

I love your videos , even movies I haven't seen yet. Keep it up man they are awesome

[@hayleycomet8029]

Omg yesssssssssssss! Love this movie :)))))))))))

[@garibaldi54]

You should be working for LAPD with these detective skills.

[@porterhouse7260]

Thanks for this, requested this a few days back, Sweet!

[@v2vroth]

Another great 80s movie and video. Thanks Kurt. I had the biggest crush on Kim Richards. She was so beautiful in this movie.

[@timdaugherty5921]

Love these videos!!

[@armandobenitez2093]

Another great job amigo 👍👍!

[@johnmartin7182]

As always awesome content thanks

[@thefinerthingsinlife4557]

Thank you again Kurt! I never saw this movie, but I did have a crush on Kim Richards at that time. She was HAF back then!

[@MrBigdavehd97]

Great job as always,Dude The Wild life no one has done it!!!! Challenge

[@ronthatus]

Love the dancing scene at the club/warehouse when Jim Carrol is performing

[@jokerfleckcast3196]

This film is underrated. The soundtrack is superb, especially Jonathan Elias themes

[@johnnyjesus8]

Wow another brilliant Location video. I noticed Art Evans the guy playing the security guard I remember when I lived in San bernardino in 87 his brother owned a video store on highland Ave he had pictures of Art all over the store he was a Nice guy.

[@MichelleBab-gy2yx]

I was a little kid in the 80's. I love what you're doing! This is my jam. Wish it was still the early '80's 😺❤❤❤

[@franciscobriseno9525]

Thanks for answering my request my wife loves Tuff Turf

[@handymanbrian8269]

One of my favorite flicks. 3 o'clock high, and my body guard seemed to be similar.

[@harleymax01]

This movie is awesome. Rented it in the 1980's at my small town video store.

[@gerrygizzygarcia2572]

Great memories I actually took pics myself outside of Morgan's house too in 2012 which is in Culver City and I spoke with one of the guys that plays a villian in the movie aka panchito Gomez who told me some cool stories bout that flick I loved tuff turf as a kid I'm gonna have to but that movie again

[@stephpom5373]

Finally been missing filming locations

[@tyson1fan487]

One of my all time favorites!!!

[@joseyeastwood]

I Can't believe Morgan is the same man from The Blacklist James Spader is a really good actor great vlog.

[@5HY_9UY_81]

Yes yes. Another great video. 8️⃣0️⃣S❤️. It's interesting how some locations don't really change much and stand the test of time.

[@davecasebolt6418]

I loved this movie when I was a teen. Very under rated, kind of a darker ghetto version of the Karate Kid. This was before James Spader and Robert Downey Jr became A-List actors. Great video and fun to watch. I really miss the simple times of the 80s and 90s.

[@johnniebravo5985]

Another totally awesome video Kurt! Love young Spader and these 80's movies! You should do Mannequin filming locations

[@Joe-eg7ml]

Nice, please do Savage Streets next!

[@JessV049]

I definitely don’t **do too many SUBS your definitely one of em . Love all your content Cool movie .. Especially your CHIPS episodes !

[@John-kx3ng]

This is a great yet very underrated movie of the 80s . Thankyou very much for the upload! 👍

[@80sLife]

I agree. Thank you for watching

[@1MNUTZ]

The valley has changed so much since the 80s even the 90s

[@rapidhearttv]

Wow! Great stuff! I worked on Tuff Turf! Lotsa memories. I'm also in the film. Love your channel

[@noelchrisjohnbenson8161]

had to come check this out and rediscover this. I recently befriended Paul Mones, didn't know he had a big role in this film pretty cool.

[@rodneyslater3230]

CHIPS was filmed at that old high school in 1981 or 82, when Ponch and Bobby were riding together. Bobby’s brother Bruce was a CHP Cadet when they sent him undercover to expose drug sales, illegal betting and even car stripping in the auto shop class. The show also filmed down the street at the former Malibu Castle, former Boomers Arcade at the West End of the Metro Green Line Station in 25:15 Redondo Beach. Right up the street from that Station is where the TRW and Matel Buildings were located. Danny Bonaduce played a student named Myron Finkenbaum, one of the students at that high school. I used to ride the Metro Green Line from Norwalk to the end of the line in what I believe is Lawndale, not Redondo Beach.

[@Lilith6416]

This was my favorite movie when it first came out. And even though I’m 52 now I still love this movie. ❤

[@LinkMassing]

Wow, I forgot about this movie. I remember watching this late at night on HBO when I was a kid. Kurt, you are awesome!

[@cozmikfunkrabbitt30]

saw this at my local theater and still have on VHS, great job as always

[@joelsdiy9469]

ATTENTION REMAKE STUDIOS…please leave this one alone!!!!

[@1_Bad_Z]

Oh my. Saw this in 1985. I was about in the 5th grade.

[@QuicksFlicksMovies]

I love this movie! I recently met Panchito Gomez & had him sign my Tuff Turf bluray. He was real cool & told me some behind the scenes stuff about some of the actors. Great video!

[@SergioArellano-yd7ik]

Does he still look the same? I saw him in a bionic woman episode in the 70s he never seems to age

[@QuicksFlicksMovies]

@@SergioArellano-yd7ik he still looks good, he’s real short lol

[@ericmedina7798]

Wow! Awesome vid Kurt! I think James Spader is a great actor! One of my favourites! Robert Downey jr. is also great! Do you think the 80s will ever make a comeback?

[@mitchellgiffard1978]

Funny enough Robert Downey Jr & James Spader are the closet of friends

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

I freakin love you brother thank you 💙😎🌭🍻💪🤙

[@LuxeLadyD]

I really liked this movie! How can we forget. James spader, Robert Downy Jr. & Kim Richards with her signature long hair! Yep no extensions on her! 💙 Thanks!

[@richardsanchez5558]

This is my favorite 80s flick of all time

[@lolamary2363]

Love this! Best scene ever is Jim Carroll band playing during the dance scene! Robert Downey Jr. playing drums! Classic! ❤

[@rina67800]

I finished watching the movie "tuff turf" and wow!! I can see changes in some places. Thank you for sharing with us the "before" and "now" of the film.

[@homeremodelerpro1501]

My favorite movie as a kid. Watching it again recently I thought this was shot in NY, has no idea parts were close to where I grew up in Venice. Love it!

[@georges8200]

one of my favorite movies

[@lovebuzz1979]

Love your channel! I remember this movie! I had a crush on James Spader. Loving the 80s movie location. I'm glad I found your channel.

[@DWINC]

Never saw this but now I will

[@DWINC]

Ok watched it…wasn’t good but the 2hrs were worth rivisiting this video

[@HRinc]

We’re gonna break , the rules too-night! 🎶

[@johndornoff]

13:05 You can tell it is a fake wall; just look at the difference between the part on the right of the corner and the portion to the left of the corner. I remember them filming the scenes in Highland Park as I would travel through there frequently. The only reason I went to see this movie in the theater was because it had Kim Richards in it.

[@adrianajones7181]

Just found your channel. I loved this movie, one I have to watch with my adult kids. We watch all the old 80’s movies. How do you find all the places, so impressed. Thank you so much, fun watching

[@howdoyoumakeup73]

Love this movie one of my favorites ! Love the So Tuff song from the soundtrack! Love that part of it was filmed in the valley. It’s so fun showing these films to my kids as they get older and letting them see how things used to look and how many movies were filmed there! Thank you!

[@koreancardboard]

Finally got around to watching this movie a few days ago after watching this vid a month ago. Enjoyed it! Great job as always on the filming locations.

[@marcofreitas3844]

The incredibly intense Paul Mones-later writer of two Van Damme hits - THE QUEST and DOUBLE TEAM- hits and direcror of two very good drama starring an unusually unammnered Jeff Goldblum -FATHERS AND SONS- among other films, steals the scenes as the leading bad guy, ´Nick´. As expected, a very good Location video by the 80s Life crew.

[@wets4944]

I loved this movie. Thanks for making a video for this😀

[@NickL951]

Great video! Did you ever notice in movies when a car hits a bike the bike sails straight up into the air? Wouldnt it go forward ? Awww 80s physics

[@ygorcarneiro9097]

Brazil loves your channel!!!! Congratulações!!!!

[@tantze]

Great movie and fantastic soundtrack!

[@richielewis7350]

I’m a newer follower. I love filming location videos, and you’re channel is the best out there. Some of the others range from bad to downright annoying. You always have great content. I’m looking forward to watching your past videos!

[@chrisharjo3875]

This was a movie I saw the trailer for back in 1985, probably before Back to the Future or something else, but never saw. It seems to be a forgotten movie. The plot seems similar to Karate Kid. Teen moves to LA suburb, gets bullied, fights back.

[@matthewfarmer6830]

You need to do the movie location of "Vision Quest" Matthew Modine.🎥😎 1985

[@ericriedesel1338]

One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Such a cool video to do and See. So awesome!!!! Thanks for this !!!

[@calvincandie5344]

"He looked 55 when he died..he was a friend of mine"...that is a good jim carroll song...

[@mulldezee4034]

This is so detailed thank you very much brother for taking your time for such a perfect work 38 year ago difference this is very informative, good job.

[@cjcadventures]

A really fantastic video as always I could watch your video's all day well done Kurt 👍

[@rzfs1v]

Awesome job! I watched this movie so many times growing up. I was obsessed with that Camaro, lol.

[@waryinzero]

ooh. May I also recommend for you LA Story, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, and of course seve7n

[@jackedkerouac4414]

14:07 2 eggs 2 hotcakes and a choice of 2 sausages or bacon for $1.59. No wonder my allowance was $5 every Friday. That was pretty generous!

[@clintonphillips1361]

That was very well done , everything I wanted to see , good job , love the movie

[@davefilms345]

Never seen this film Kurt, but love as always your attention to detail. Absolutely fantastic as always I've watched all your content on your Channel countless times, I love it. Looking forward to the next one 😃

[@ErinsNerdStuff]

Fantastic video. Tuff Turf is one of my must see movie locations. I’m glad that there’s still so many landmarks to match the scenes up with. ❤

[@warrencarl9797]

Watched this while watching the movie in the back ground. Thats for an awesome review. As always.

[@BorgesProduction]

This is so cool. Very thorough with the locations. Well done

[@blue_vicious]

Great video, Kurt! 👍
