[@johnperry4572]

If only y'all knew the history (motion picture and TV history) that took place in that station....over 500 movies,TV shows and music videos were filmed at Hoyt/Schermerhorn on those 2 unlit abandoned outer platforms since their abandonment in 1946

[@thecrooklynite2129]

did you know that one the posters used on the set of the Michael Jacksons video bad is still posted up on the station from 1987

[@ActionKid]

So cool!

[@WatchedWalker]

"Bad" but good ;)

[@tiffanydouglas2686]

Several movies filmed here, among them "The Wiz" (1978), "Turk 182" (1984) and "The Taking of Pelham 123" (2009).

Hey, ActionKid105!!! My Daddy worked as the Chief Baker at A&S which used to be right upstairs!!! This was the Stop that we used to meet him after work (or if we wanted extra money to go shopping as teens... 😂🤣😂)!!! You bring back the BEST memories of HOME!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! And PLEASE be careful and safe out in these New York Streets!!!

[@joelweiner4798]

A&S has become Macy's on the Fulton Mall..many, many years now.

[@CarylQRadio]

Yes, indeed!!! Daddy worked at A&S for 30 years before it switched over. All under Federated Department Stores!!! ✨

Among the movies filmed at Hoyt/Schermerhorn....The Wiz,The Warriors,Nighthawks,Turk 182,The Exterminator,Coming To America,Crocodile Dundee II,Beat Street,Blue Steel.The Hard Way,Carlito's Way,The Taking Of Pelham 123 (2009)...to name but a few

[@joelk4751]

That's an old school "C" train pulling in @14:50, with the roller signs and small cab. When I was a kid in NYC, I loved standing at the front window of the train and pretending I was the driver. There aren't many NYC subway trains left where you can get right up to the front window.

[@cats0182]

Me too.

[@daholyspirit2783]

Or sit up at the side facing cabin windows 😅

This station was used for the wiz movie as well and beat street

Very familiar with this station as my Alma Mater, LIU, is located not far away. Downtown Brooklyn is just steps outside..Fulton Mall, Barclay Center etc etc.

[@alb12345672]

My dad got an MBA from LIU. I was a Polytechnic grad, next stop on Jay St!

We stayed in New York two weeks ago for 9 days,it was a crazy experience as a european.Very-very interesting city,we have seen lots of positive and negative things.The metro was both positive and negative in the same time:you can get from anywhere to anywhere,but you have to know how to interpret the signs.Most of the stations were really dirty and disgusting,we’ve been to Hoyt-Schermerhorn as well for example.Nevertheless we still want to go back,because it is a wonderful city,and i will keep following your videos,because they bring back nice memories :)

[@andrewpal]

The city has become very corrupt with stolen money by corporations and politicians. Now it's overrun by criminals as well.

[@gensotenno]

Oh, I've ever been this station. Good job for uploader, thank you.

[@literaturix]

WoW! On my second screen I see parallel the original MV... this feeling is ... mindblowing! Thank you!

[@cats0182]

The thing I find astounding about all of the original IND stations is that they were built for the future. Platforms 10 car lengths. As far as I know, the stations today are basically the same as the day they opened. The empty platforms were supposed to be for local trains that would only go as far as the Court Street station. Riders who wanted to go to Manhattan, walked across the platform to an express train.

[@davidellis5141]

Hanging in Brooklyn , home of the 🏀 Nets ! Opening weekend in the Bronx with 2019 🏆 winners The Yankees ! Play ⚾ !

[@etta537]

Humph! I remember way back in the day we took the A, or C to Hoyt Schmerhorn, walk through the tunnels straight to McCrory's, up the escalators, then cross the street to May's. Humph! It came especially handy when it was cold, rainy or snowy!! I miss that, and those two stores!

[@GFrost88]

The abandoned platform was also used for the Ninja Turtles movie where April got jumped by the foot clan and Raphael came in to save her.

[@Luvalou24]

And Michael Jacksons bad video

[@daveblack3491]

I remember this station. Is this abandoned? This is the station where Michael Jackson did a music video for “Bad”.

[@jchamp_7]

Because I’m bad, I’m bad...

[@rhondaharrison2764]

Morning. What did that guy ask you for? an extra swipe>? And that lady singing was jammin' pretty good I thought. Do those performers have to pay the city to sing in the subway? Thanks for videos.

[@ActionKid]

He asked me for an extra swipe to get him into the station. I’m not sure if the performers have to pay the city, many don’t.

[@not_on]

I don't think they have to pay, but there are auditions: web.mta.info/mta/aft/muny/auditions.html

[@freddyjingjo]

Great video! Thanks for sharing :) Can I ask what day and time of day this was taken? I’m keen to visit this station with out the crowds. Cheers 👍

[@ActionKid]

Sorry, I don’t remember the day or time this was taken.

[@joelk4751]

What's the fancy "L" logo all along the wall of the Bond St. passageway about? The outer platforms and walls look very well maintained compared to other abandoned platforms in the system. In fact, they're in better condition than a lot of active platforms.

[@ActionKid]

I had to look it up too. Seems like there used to be a large department store here. From www.atlasobscura.com/places/hoytschermerhorn-subway-station “Walking along the mezzanine level of Hoyt-Schermerhorn is another curiosity: a striking series of floor-to-ceiling length blue tiles, with a circled, yellow L in the middle. Not indicating, as would at first seem, the presence of the L train, these largely unnoticed tiles advertised what was once Brooklyn’s largest department store, Loeser’s. Occupying an entire city block bounded by Fulton and Livingston Streets, Elm and Bond, when it opened in 1887, it was one of New York’s glitziest shopping experiences. It was one of the first stores to install electric lights, telephones, elevators, and escalators. There was an underground entrance leading off Hoyt-Schermerhorn’s mezzanine and up into the store. Today, there is little at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn stop to remind passengers of the once grandiose department store above ground, or the iconic 1980s music video filmed below.”

[@alb12345672]

@@ActionKid Up to the mid-80s or so that was an entrance to A&S dept store. May have been the IRT though.

[@leono7380]

Now I will watch that MV again. Thanks

[@jaydodsworth3063]

This is great! Makes u feel like your there...i love nyc

[@Des_Zee]

Same dude that asked you for a swipe 1:30, at 4:00 you can see him jumping the turnstile 🤣🤣🤣

[@Torontopia]

WOW, that's a crazy long walk for a subway station!

[@mikioni]

Excellent .

[@joemartin1253]

Props to your video!

[@SonicWilliamX]

This is where Michael Jackson's Bad video is filmed.

[@MyDuke76]

Great that you have been there. In which district is this station located? In Brooklyn? When and where do you have the opportunity to visit an original location of a Michael Jackson video and then of such a well-known song like Bad? On my next visit to NYC I will also visit this station

[@ActionKid]

You can click on the Google Maps link in the description to see where it is. It’s in downtown Brooklyn.

You’re welcome!

[@DistantLightProd]

At what time in the video is the area they shot the music video?

[@ActionKid]

It’s actually not in this video at all. There’s another abandoned mezzanine where they shot the MV, but they look almost identical!

[@tonymmm2850]

I'm sure a scene from the warriors was filmed their

[@himfanatic5]

Tony mmm and The 90’s Ninja Turtles movie too. 😎

The only cool thing.. or may be two about this station is its name and the cute singer😁 Nice footage man as usual🤙

[@Relativity1970]

very cool vid actionkd :)

[@anonymous3738]

For those that are pronouncing it “Shermerhorn”, it’s actually pronounced “Skermerhorn”.

you sould have stopped where the singer was!! she had a beautiful voice, and I wanted to hear more!! :-((

May you cross a railway on other direction platform?

No, those platforms are abandoned

[@talshalmoni7595]

At 1:35 what did that guy ask "you have extra ????"

[@b_d15]

Tal Shalmoni “extra swipe” to get into the turnstiles. People ask for it all the time. Fun fact it’s totally legal to swipe someone else in with an unlimited metrocard

[@talshalmoni7595]

@@b_d15 thank you very much

[@ActionKid]

He asked me if I had an extra “swipe” to get him into the station. It’s quite common for people with unlimited MetroCards to do this.

@@ActionKid Economically makes no sense. Example, one unlimited MetroCard for a family of 5 usually travelling together on a daily basis. The subway system loses does it not? I wish for you to know that the narrated walks videos are a joy to watch here in Asia.
