Thank you for watching, Superfans! It was a thrill to see these locations AND bring a DeLorean back to Lone (Twin) Pine(s) mall. Please check out our other episodes!
I played Back to the Future the other night for my kids who are 6 and 3 yrs old and they loved it! The look on their faces when Doc first backed the Delorean out of the van was the same one on mine when I first watched it as a kid. It seriously made me so happy just to watch them watch the movie. There is just something magical about this film, for me at least.
I used to hang out at Puente Hills Malls back in the early 80's before we moved in 1985. That was so cool to see a familiar place in a movie. My friends said they watched the filming
I just watched a couple of videos uploaded very recently of Puente Hills Mall. Very sad to see it is practically dead, with only a few stores still open. At least you have the good memories of hanging out there when things were good. I hope to see a major revival of this mall in the future.
@@BeyondtheBacklot I'll have to make some friends first... I actually ended up here looking for BTTF assets (from your time lapse specifically) for a video I, myself am making. As one RU-vidr to another, quality pays off in the long run. Trends come and good, timeless content never goes out of style :)
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
As a child of the 80s, these films _are_ my childhood, and seeing something like the Delorean driving up to the same iconic spot of pavement at the Mall...all the feels. I wonder if kids today have something similar? What will make a 10 year old kid today cry happy tears in the year 2055...?
You’ve tapped into the reason for this show. These movies mean so much to us and we believe, because they existed before on demand entertainment, these decades carried a unique influence on our generations.
I’ve always been a big fan of location videos but yours are off the charts! You go above and beyond belief getting an actual Delorean on the parking lot! Wow! Even getting actors on the locations?! What? (i.e. Karate Kid) The production quality as well. Stellar! I’m binging all your vids! Thanks!
I lived with my uncle for about a year in West Covina CA in 1984 to 1985. I used to go to the Puente Hills mall all the time. When I saw the movie for the first time I had just moved to Oceanside CA. I saw that scene with Marty skating into the mall the same parking area I used to drive into I said "HEY!" kinda loud then whispered "That's Puente Hills Mall'! My friends looked at me like "Shhhh"!
Reliving the DeLorean scene at the parking lot in front of the Mall, and at night, must have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You sure are one of the luckiest man in the world and I will envy you for the rest of my life! Keep this videos up, please! Your videos always leave me craving for more...
I just stumbled upon Beyond the Backlot, I’ve watched, Home Alone, Goonies, Karate Kid and now this. Thank you so much for doing this. I am thoroughly enjoying each and every one!
So amazing! Thanks for taking me back to my childhood! All the things you were saying were the same as what I thought as a kid. Even to the point of dreams of going back in time. So cool.
Being stationed at Eglin over in the Florida Panhandle, I have always, always wanted to visit these locations. While on an assignment at Point Mugu in 2018, I jumped in my rental car each weekend and finally after nearly watching the films 30 years ago visited the McFly house and the Mall, as well as the drag strip location for the end of part 3 and of course, the "holy ground" where the DeLorean meets its end at the train tracks. Words cannot put into how I felt to finally be at those locations. People that aren't "Backies" just won't understand - the trilogy is magical and something I absolutely love and adore. We ran into fans at nearly every location, which was so cool as you got an idea for how much these movies mean not just to yourself but to others just like you. For a small moment, when with others that you have not pre-planned these visits with at all and are total strangers - for just a moment - you get to passionately share a mutual love for something together. To see the smiles and the happiness that comes from it in those spontaneous moments is simply amazing. Oh yeah, and DeLorean VIN #3299 is checking in here too : ). Owned it 17 years this November 11th. Won't deny, always a fun time taking it out and seeing these kinds of reactions without being there in L.A. Maybe one day...
Great job, bro. I love your great attitude, "Totally" being into this movie. I've done the same thing. Marty's house, the Mall, & the Burger King!! I "Totally" loved it!!
Thanks for watching! And we agree -- greatest sci-fi movie for sure. If you liked this, please check out our other videos -- more movie location fun and adventure at hand. :)
Really need to visit these locations. I love the trilogy and live 30 minutes away from each spot. The movie even takes place 3 days after my birthdate.
I go to the 24 hr fitness in puente hills everyday and sometimes their will be people who come in DeLoreans and take pictures its cool to live so close to movie history
You guys always do an epic job with your location scouting. The tree where Marty fell from has a block on the cement/sidewalk with BTTF etched on it. Hopefully you can capture that in a future BTTF location update. Love your content!
Lyon Estates (1955) is Chino, California in 1984. It's my hometown. I was there when those scenes were filmed. It's down the south end of Eucalyptus Avenue, down past the prisons, near Prado Bicentennial Dam.
Stumbled across this channel via recommendation and so glad I did!! Brought back so many good memories of watching these classics with my dad who isn't with us today.. thank you!!
This is another beautiful video from you guys. What a treat for fans of Back to the Future! You really do your research, but then you are just passionate. You also know how to cover a lot of key highlights in a good amount of time, well summarized. The Whittier High School is interesting, one of the beautiful art deco era architectures, however it's a shame the original hanging hallway ceiling lights were replaced by generic, boring lights. A part of the mystique of both the architecture and the film has been watered-down. But thank you for this gift! This video of yours takes it further by gaining access and providing a key part or prop of a film, in this case, the Back to the Future DeLorean, and at the site of the car's famous run. Thanks again!
I think it's great you did this...I don't know you, but I wish I was there with you. You reminded me that life is what you make of it, so have fun and make it a good one.
Must be nostalgic going to those locations, just thinking about watching some of these classic 80s movies bring me back to the times growing up, can only imagine visiting the actual locations of the film. 👍👍 Must feel like you are actually part of movie!
Hey guys. Absolutely fantastic video! Just FYI, I'm a BTTF super fan and a few years back I paid $350 for the Universal Studios Hollywood VIP backlot tour. Among other things, we got get out and walk around Courthouse Square so it was worth every penny. Definitely try it out sometime (if you haven't already!) Be well.
I did the exact same tour, but also went to Buffy Summers' house, which was actually just around the corner from Sunnydale High (Torrance High School). Also went to the "Charmed" Halliwell Manor (ran into a couple other fans also there for pictures), and then just down the street from that was the house used in Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video -- couldn't get close, it was all fenced off and overgrown with shrubbery. Also went to the Nightmare on Elm Street house where the door is STILL painted bright red! Was extra awesome, because the super-nice owner had just returned with groceries for a BBQ while we were there and got chat him up. Thanked him for maintaining the iconic red door, which he really appreciated. I was surprised, because he said he doesn't run into a lot of Elm Street fans, and of the few he has, we were the first to thank him for doing such an awesome job maintaining that iconic horror movie house. It's still identical to the movie! Anyway, so many cool houses and places to see and visit in L.A. Checked off a LOT of things on my bucket list. :D Next time I'm in the area, going to visit iconic Star Trek sites like the Gorn fight scene spot.
Keep doing this stuff guys! You have the edge on telling these stories. I was in LA last year. Found the Marty McFly house too. Man, you just stop and stare right? All the memories flood back. Awesome!
you cant beat walking in the footsteps of great actors.we have some great filming location by us in the uk like transformers the last knight and chitty chitty bang bang.great videos and im realy enjoying them!!!
The Gamble House was only used for the exterior shots of Doc Brown's house. The interiors including the front door shots were filmed at The RR Blacker house,a similar Japanese inspired design by Charles and Henry Greene. It is located at 1177 Hillcrest avenue Oak Knoll Pasadena. This house can also be see in the movie Armagedon. It was used as the young Harry Stamper's (Bruce Willis) family home.
This is a great video. Excellent detail. I'm so envious,I'd love to visit these locations. Maybe one day. BTTF is my favourite movie series of all time.
Good to hear of fellow Christians enjoying my favourite movie of all time. I'm an Anglican(Church Of Ireland) Christian living in Northern Ireland where alot of other Christians hold the view that ALL secular entertainment is wrong. I'm also a MASSIVE AMERICAN FOOTBALL 🏈/SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS fan and some Christians would have a problem with that as the NFL teams mostly play on Sundays. I'm sorry if this reply has slightly gone off the subject of being a BTTF fan.
