Come with me on a magical learning journey into the history of one of the most famous firehouses in the world: LA's Old 23 CHECK OUT MY GHOSTBUSTERS MOVIE: • The Real Ghostbusters ...
Amazing video on the history of both houses! Wish there were more historic photos of Hook&Ladder 8 out there, would love to see it entirely when it was double the size before 1914. Personally I think they should turn FS23 into a Ghostbusters museum. It's a shame they got rid of the original lockers, as seen in both films and there since 1910 some years ago...
@@unfinishedstudios. I'm glad you continuing on with this project. From helping my Dad build his homebuilt airplane as a kid until my early teens I know it takes time to gather all the items that goes into building something like your second Ghostbusters replica. Especially as you intend to leave the first one as it is for it to eventually become your little daughter's car. Then the two of you can go out on Daddy / Daughter tag team parade drives dressed in character.
If I won the lottery, I'd ask the city to sell it to me. Fantastic video of the history of this beautiful LA building. Then again, I'd just get the blueprints of this place and build a clone elsewhere.
I believe there will be another Ghostbusters movie. I was downtown Manhattan last summer and the Ghostbusters sign was hanging on Hook and Ladder 8, which is a working firehouse. The sign only hangs when they are filming.
I can remember when my family and I went to LA for the 2019 ghostbusters fan fest. That firehouse was the quickest visit of all the film locations we hit while we were there. We just did some drive by photos and then bolted out of that neighborhood. Btw, how’s your process going on the ‘65 Ecto-1?
Absolutely astoundingly well done. This contained so much information that I didn’t know about the movie. Thank you for putting this together. And wishing you good luck on your Ecto conversion!
They called it skid row cause when they were logging the nearby county in the late 1800s they would roll the logs down the hill into the harbour. That's why they called it skid row.
Also, heres what they should do. Clean up the neighborhood, renovate the firehouse and make it a ghostbuster museum with working containment unit in the basement. Everyone gets a chance to put ghosts in or shut the grid off.
Im really enjoying this channel! I work on the Ghostbusters comics, always cool to see others with same passion for franchise! (And that toy biz batwing on ceiling...nice!)
Ghostbusters & The Mask were filmed here, but this is common to reuse locations like the Western Union office 118 S.Wabash in the film (118 Winston in L.A.) in The Sting which I read had been used in more than 10 films & shows. And also the Universal Backlot, NY streets, Courthouse Square. The Sting, Bye Bye Birdie, Rock a Bye Baby1958, Leave it to beaver1957, City Heat 1984, Back to the Future.
Judging from the end of GB Afterlife... Looks like olde 23 might be resurrected for a Afterlife sequel when we saw Ecto1 roll in and the containment unit active.
I wouldn't recommend driving anything very heavy into an old horse drawn firehouse like that . The apparatus floor as it is called now in most NYC fire houses, is not designed to handle the weight. I did a fuel tank survey in NYFD houses and the old ones had hundreds of lally columns holding the apparatus floor from falling into the basement .
We actually got to shoot in the abandoned LA firehouse about 7 years ago with permission from the City of Los Angeles, for a segment we were doing for an old Entertainment web-site/web-series I used to produce called Beyond the Marquee; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XtX8bo5Tg4U.html
Appreciate it! Honestly -- couldn't find anything about it in the history. I'm guessing it was a set. The place was pretty rough in '15 when they would've filmed.
@DEGyStudios Nice! Hope your build is going better than mine. Got about 1,000 other projects going -- so the Wreckto-1 has sort of taken a bake seat. Ecto-1A is close to driving (and we've even maybe gotten a Mystery Machine on our hands!)
I just want to share a really cool Herbie idea I had. There's a Toyata concept car called Yui, which has AI inside it, therefore making it alive. I thought, what if you took that out and put in a Herbie?
what i dont get is why didnt they just film ghostbusters the inside at the main ghostbuster building instead of a whole diffrient one that looks like it
I would imagine as it is an active house they wouldn't have been able to take over the building for the duration of filming the interior scenes so a similarly styled disused house was found.
This is a ghostbusters firehouse but not exact because the real one doesn’t have the bay window at the top so this is just a knock off version of the real ghostbusters fire house
