today's adventure begins as a recording
0:03
of this Sunday June 4th 2023 for my
0:06
hotel room
0:08
just to top Universal Studios Hollywood
0:11
looking down upon
0:13
the theme park and the movie studio was
0:17
so much history
0:18
bright and early well not even bright
0:20
it's just early and very cloudy
0:24
a little dismal and overcast at this
0:27
moment but the sun once the Sun starts
0:29
to rise
0:34
should kind of burn off a little bit of
0:34
this Haze and fog I am doing
0:37
the VIP tour
0:39
as shown here
0:40
a VIP tour is like a time machine
0:44
now I've done the VIP tour at Universal
0:46
Studios Hollywood before but every time
0:48
is a little different I'm hoping today
0:50
can go down to Courthouse Square
0:52
and possibly some other places that I
0:54
haven't been to in a while
0:56
exclusive access to Hollywood
1:00
awaits it's very early 6 30 right now
1:03
the tour begins at 7 30 so I'm going to
1:07
go ahead and start heading down there
1:08
also this is the valley
1:11
and there is
1:12
Super Nintendo World down there
1:16
I'm inviting you to join me
1:18
it's going to be a fun day meeting up
1:19
with some friends also from my room you
1:22
can look down you can see some of the
1:23
old trams that are right here in a
1:25
parking lot near the freeway
1:27
the old Universal Backlot trams
1:31
the the toward torch Rams I should say
1:34
these relics of the past just sitting
1:36
down there
1:48
in proximity too
1:48
the park itself
1:53
there's the front entrance there's the
1:54
globe there's City Walk
1:56
there's Wizarding World
2:30
it is early
2:30
good to see the leaf blowers out welcome
2:33
everyone Adam the woo here it is about
2:36
20 minutes now it's time I got from my
2:38
room down to the bottom level about 15
2:39
minutes till 7 A.M

our tour meeting up with a couple
2:43
friends begins at 7 30. who knew that
2:47
they were they were doing a tour this
2:49
early gonna get coffee over there
2:51
and I think the theme park opens at
2:53
eight they have they're getting close to
2:55
their summer hours
2:57
opens at 8 A.M so the first tour we're
2:59
thinking maybe we will get a little bit
3:01
better access and the fact that it is a
3:04
Sunday might be able to see some stuff
3:07
that you don't normally see because
3:09
there might not be a lot of filming
3:10
going on so leaving my hotel room
3:13
headed in inviting you to join me

4:37
trolley folks and let's give a big round
4:39
pause for our drivers absolutely
4:46
we're here it's a really long walk folks
4:46
like a Lord of the Rings style long walk
4:49
everywhere the whole property our theme
4:51
park at Studio is a different franchise
4:53
400 square feet is it Lord of the Rings
4:59
a little bit of our Metropolitan set
4:59
area it could be just up the way here
5:01
off to the left side of us here can be
5:04
made to look like any major city across
5:06
the world or across time simply based on
5:08
how production it rents the space from
5:10
us chooses to decorate all right
5:12
over and over and over we're gonna go
5:15
back here producible for decades over
5:17
hundreds of Productions nope any
5:19
superhero movie fans
5:21
there's no hands on
5:30
that's where Mary Jane Watson was
5:30
performing our big Broadway debut in The
5:32
Importance of Being Earnest and
5:33
Spider-Man 2 Peter Parker tried very
5:35
hard very very hard to get to the show
5:37
on time he was a little sidetracked he'd
5:39
swoop in to save the day of Spider-Man
5:40
got as far as the feeder Lobby before
5:42
the Usher turned him away
5:50
kind of hoping we go back the concrete
5:50
jungle behind and head towards a
5:51
different jungle altogether we also have
5:53
Magnum Pi's Ferrari from that great show
5:55
starring Tom Selleck they have some Back

6:00
please remember to remain seated at all
6:02
times guys for safety thank you so much
6:03

6:06
and smells a lot better since it cleared
6:08
out all of the door futuristic vehicles
6:10
from back to newer part two that pair
6:12
very nicely next to these prehistoric
6:14
ones featured at The Flintstones so John
6:16
Goodman and Rick Moran all right I'm a
6:17
little disappointed for my Wizarding
6:19
World fans
6:37
the results of thousands of gallons of
6:37
water being pumped out that their own
6:39
recycled all the way up to the top three
6:41
sets we call them six points it has that
6:43
name because it started off as six
6:45
interconnecting Western Street sets that
6:47
mess in the early days of silent film
6:50
big Once Upon a Time in Hollywood right
6:52
here at the same time never had to worry
6:54
about sound comparing over onto
6:56
another's production I swear
7:03
and my favorite part of any Western that
7:03
I happen to be watching uh I'm just a
7:05
really big fan of the fight
7:21
I think the earthquake has stopped oh oh
7:21
hang on bad news looks like the water
7:22
mains broken
7:24
yeah I'm curious in a foot quickly we
7:27
can work on getting out of here
7:37
that's my friends and earthquakes and
7:37
regulations like urban areas of our
7:40
property including Elm Street so so far
7:52
tomorrow
8:04
got relocated to our back lot when they
8:04
were done filming
8:48

8:48
shoot here include never have I ever our
8:50
continuation of Quantum Leap on NBC our
8:52
upcoming Ted television series turn this
8:54
area into Boston I do want to point out
8:56
this yellow house coming up here to the
8:57

Housewives just a couple seconds just a
9:01
little pop-up again haircut right there

that is the monster's house 1313
9:08
Mockingbird Lane just missed the
9:10
monsters and uh I do have to point it
9:12
out it's a really fun 80s comedy from us
9:14
here at Universal this is Mayfield place
9:16
this is the street of The Burbs with Tom
9:19
Hanks
9:20
really fun movie a majority action
9:22
tickets
9:23
and look around like the VIP tour
9:26
actually promotes that we're supposed to
9:28
do yeah they don't really deviate from
9:30
Mayfield place in the entire movie what
9:31
the hell yeah we're gonna head a little
9:33
further out here
9:44
walk through
9:50
we're going back to Colonial then we can
9:50
go back to the escapism the fantasy of
9:52
it all you know
10:16
as we head back down the road here we're
10:16
passing by Elm Street once more here off
10:17
to the right side if you saw a movie
10:19
with Will Smith called Hancock makes a
10:22
superhero Landing right in the middle of
10:23
Elm Street right over there he pays a
10:25
visit to Jason Bateman in his house
10:26
right there on Elm Street Will Smith
10:28
movie I heard a slash and uh as we pass
10:30
by our Jaws attraction one sport if it
10:33
looks a little familiar you might be a
10:35
fan of a long-running series called
10:36
Murder She Wrote sorry
10:42
bring that up for you back to walk
10:42
around I'm seeing outside of our Western
10:44
area with some farming equipment boxes
10:46
barrels Creek so I've done this before
10:47
that's probably my fourth time usually
10:50
they let you walk around a lot of spots
10:51
especially if they're not filming
10:52
anything that can be added sometimes
10:54
they'll say oh they're filming back
10:55
there so they don't let you walk around
10:57
where they're filming no I don't see any
10:59
filming happening today and we're
11:01
actually going to be heading next to our
11:03
first VIP Excursion something that we've
11:05
not had access to for several years only
11:07
recently of the last few months have
11:09
gotten to have back access to our prop
11:12
Warehouse you can't film on the problem
11:13
take these through our first floor are
11:16
you are you happy I'm happy Amanda for
11:18
for the amount of money amount of money
11:21
it's like you know we're not seeing
11:22
anything I expected a little more man
11:25
also marry the girly girls here also
11:26
yeah I didn't introduce you on the way
11:28
in it might be important if you guys all
11:30
you want to see is you want to get a
11:31
photo in front of the cycle house some
11:33
people say Insurance during like now
11:34
maybe it'll take us by there uh any
11:36
Tarantino fans yeah maybe we'll go back
11:38
Quentin Tarantino yeah all right if they
11:41
made a movie a few years back called the
11:42
hateful eight there's a scene in that
11:44
movie where Jennifer Jason these
11:46
characters finds a guitar and they have
11:47
into hiding so at least I'm not the only
11:49
one has done this before that realizes
11:51
this is so far it is annoying anything
11:54
extra than what you would get other than
11:57
they are but we weren't allowed to film
11:58
inside there which is understandable we
12:00
haven't been able to walk around but I'm
12:02
assuming we're gonna walk around and
12:04
probably Court of Miracles what did you
12:06
want to see today Hill Valley I wanted
12:08
to get off this bus and go see something
12:09
yeah what'd you want to see Colonial
12:12
Colonial or Hill Valley either one would
12:14
be great or something this is my first
12:16
tour too
12:22
we're gonna go inside a Sound Stage
12:22
though that I don't know what's been
12:24
filmed in there
12:31
demonstrate why I sound stage
12:31
sound through oh yeah are you excited
12:35
I do like South stages
12:37
except I don't know anything that was
12:38
ever filmed in here it's like they just
12:40
opened it like a week ago
12:42
it is very quiet though
12:54
so what are we hoping what are we hoping
12:54
for today
12:55
to make this better I would love to get
12:58
on the uh
12:59
Hill Valley man that's mine
13:29
but if it's one thing this area is known
13:29
for it's known for its monster movie
13:31
history all the big name monsters right
13:34
here Dracula Frankenstein the wolf and
13:37
it doesn't mean
13:44
thanks for looking
13:44
I appreciate that he's invisible that's
13:46
what makes him so scary
13:47
I have a favorite party of those
13:49
monsters this is basically we're not
13:51
getting off of the tram for anything so
13:54
you got Elm Street up here
13:57
so that is where Kill Mockingbird was of
13:59
Boo Radley's house is right over there
14:01
but I don't think we're gonna be able to
14:02
walk over there House of a Thousand
14:03
Corpses up here right and also Dolly
14:06
Parton
14:07
um Best Little Whorehouse up there the
14:10
opening of Murder She Wrote it's right
14:12
through here
14:13
okay that's kind of neat seeing uh
14:15
seeing the shark fin from this side I
14:17
just think Angela Lansbury walking
14:19
around right here
14:21
great Angela Lansbury I'm not sure if
14:25
they if it was in this spot when they
14:26
were filming it or they moved these sets
14:29
to here kind of like they did with the
14:31
note sets also last time they got you
14:33
got to go on the notes apps not this
14:35
time
14:42
Three Amigos was right here in nacho
14:42
Libra I think that was Nacho's apartment
14:44
right there for I remember the previous
14:46
tour
14:47
when I was out here three or four months
14:49
ago me and Sean Clark did a video
14:51
before he walked around and they kind of
14:53
explained it so I got to walk around
14:54
this area
15:21
you gotta remember this place
15:21
maybe do that thing where they say
15:22
drinks are on me
15:24
we're hired here
15:27
we didn't stop the same day there was a
15:30
recreation of Hawaii
15:32
uh Clint Eastwood what I heard the
15:35
original ones were thrown away but they
15:36
recreated them they were right back
15:44
hilarious Street Colonial Street
15:44
Colonial Street Colonial Street Colony
15:47
you got across your fingers
15:55
Colonial Street hello we're going by
15:55
Colonial Street I love seeing all those
15:57
old videos
15:59
a bonus feature on some of the Star Wars
16:01
informed that one of our guests is a
16:03
die-hard psycho fan
16:06
so we're gonna see if we can swing past
16:08
the Bates House up ahead here
16:10
and get a photo in front of this iconic
16:12
set really quickly before we head back
16:14
into the theme park for some fun
16:16
surprised we're not walking around these
16:19
picture cars once more that double
16:20
decker bus actually proved a vital to
16:23
pitcher car inside of our theme park
16:24
when they filmed an episode of a really
16:26
great comedy series called Arrested
16:28
Development
16:29
all right Mary what do you think
16:33
I'm speechless since I go out that
16:35
Albert has got more information
16:38
I mean it was my first horror movie that
16:40
I watched in the basement of the home I
16:42
grew up in as a child all alone in the
16:43
dark
16:48
no I didn't yeah and I knew I was I knew
16:48
I was a horror fan at that point I'm
16:50
glad yeah I'm glad the guy made like a
16:52
made a return trip around because
16:54
originally We're not gonna stop here but
16:56
we were like we want to see a psycho
16:57
house so
17:02
weird
17:02
and as said it's it's always interesting
17:04
how every tour is different
17:07
like this is the first time I was not
17:09
allowed to walk through or they didn't
17:10
take us through the airplane usually
17:12
Little Italy and the airplane or like
17:15
go-to's and that's the end of the this
17:17
trolley tour I think we're supposed to
17:18
hit the theme park we're gonna have
17:20
lunch and just kind of see where the day
17:22
leads us in about a half hour we're
17:24
gonna have lunch right over here in the
17:26
in this little area here the Moulin
17:28
Rouge area you guys want to give me your
17:30
thoughts what are your thoughts on uh
17:32
the tour and the price of the tour and
17:34
what you expected I'm trying to get not
17:36
just my own thoughts but everyone else
17:38
I'm friends with here on their opinions
17:45
I've done the tour before and it was a
17:45
little lacking today
17:47
little lacking for the price how much do
17:49
we pay for this close to 500 bucks a
17:52
piece right and
17:54
it was
17:55
I did the same tour for half the price
17:57
two years ago I got to do so much more
18:00
right okay okay yeah for me is the first
18:03
time thing I've ever been here I've
18:05
watched tons of tons of videos on
18:07
YouTube for 500 bucks I mean they're at
18:09
the end and pulled the uh psycho house
18:11
that was nice yeah it was a nice little
18:12
add-in do that for Mary
18:14
shout out to the tour guide for doing
18:16
lapping back around yeah I mean but I
18:18
enjoyed it I mean there's a lot of money
18:20
from what we got yeah I wish we would
18:21
have seen a little more so I'm just
18:23
trying to put it out there into the
18:24
universe to let people to know exactly
18:26
the price differential make your own
18:28
decision but yeah
18:30
it sounds like every tour is different
18:32
every tour is different kind of like
18:34
Forrest Gump
18:35
s what else would you have wanted did
18:37
you so you saw the one thing you wanted
18:38
to see is there anything else you wanted
18:39
to see the number one thing I wanted to
18:41
see wanted to see the Back to the Future
18:43
Courthouse Square of course one of my
18:44
favorite movies I would have liked to
18:46
have been able to walk around the
18:48
wreckage they showed us the record yeah
18:49
usually they do I was really really
18:51
bizarre they wouldn't it
18:54
honestly my dream would be to just have
18:56
somebody take you back there and leave
18:58
me alone for five hours I know they
19:00
won't yeah that rarely happens these
19:02
roads I mean you look hungry we are
19:05

19:10

20:17
to kind of work it out I don't know if
20:18
we're going to be able to go to Hill
20:19

20:53
them that year are in different places
20:54
throughout the park but this last year
20:57
uh this was the path to get to What's
20:59
called the age
21:07
I've never seen million gallons of water
21:07
it takes three days to fill so that's
21:09
where Norman Bates bought the car right
21:10
there and you can fill it in Parts too
21:12
and uh so this is where I've never seen
21:15
this land an airplane and film uh
21:18
exactly I have an airplane right here in
21:22
the water and then replaced of course
21:23
the blue wall with the um the skyline of
21:27
New Jersey on the Hudson River so that
21:29
is where Norman never seen this body in
21:31
the
21:35
Marion's car
21:35
wow never seen this before yeah this is
21:38
well this is even super rare the VIP
21:40
tours don't even come this way thank you
21:42
um yeah area would have been the area
21:46
known as Falls Lake it's where normally
21:47
Lake yeah was there something on the
21:49
blue screen at that time at the time yes
21:52
oh my gosh okay this thing's turning out
21:54
there wouldn't have been computer never
21:56
hurts to ask all right on Colonial so it
21:59
never hurts to ask we'll see you real
22:02
soon
22:03
you know what all the houses are
22:06
welcome
22:07
um I'm familiar with what most never
22:09
hurts to ask and express that your
22:12
favorite that you didn't get the
22:14
experience you want you just never know
22:16
if it's going to be rectified and they
22:17
are really going above and beyond here
22:19
so this entire cul-de-sac is actually
22:21
the reason this street has the name
22:22
Colonial street because there used to be
22:24
a colonial image right over here but now
22:27
uh this that's where they filmed the
22:30
last scene of the last episode of
22:33
Superstore right in that yard and then
22:35
that house somebody phrased it this way
22:37
yesterday and I thought it was Charming
22:39
is it actually has two tree houses on
22:42
that lot the one that you can plainly
22:43
see right out here in the yard
22:45
uh and then the house itself
22:48
actually has a giant eucalyptus tree
22:50
growing right through the middle of it
22:52
oh my gosh so some of these houses of
22:54
course are used strictly for filming the
22:56
outside right whereas some uh are what's
22:59
called semi-practical there are parts of
23:01
the insides that you can use for filming
23:03
some that are partially decorated some
23:06
have a usable first floor and then
23:08
stairs that lead up to basically nothing
23:11
um
23:18
is a house actually that was rebuilt for
23:18
during Desperate Housewives because the
23:21
house that was here prior to this one
23:23
was in disrepair it had been here for a
23:25
very long time and so a tornado was
23:27
written into the plot I remember
23:30
to knock that house down and build this
23:32
one and it's uh in its spot this one
23:35
here 1436 this is uh often recognized
23:39
from all of the Ace Hardware commercials
23:41
this is the Ace Hardware house this was
23:44
actually Walter's house in The Burbs
23:46
which was right here because the
23:48
cul-de-sac was here but that little and
23:50
they shifted it yeah so the cul-de-sac
23:53
over there goes down here when they
23:55
filmed the burbs they made this the
23:57
cul-de-sac and this house here
23:59
was right here and you couldn't go past
24:02
that it was kind of weird yeah there was
24:04
nothing behind it or what was supposed
24:06
to look like nothing and in the burb's
24:08
house Tom Hanks house was here but this
24:09
it's gone obviously right because that
24:11
house they actually Blew Up The Reel oh
24:13
the yeah the clopax house
24:16
this is clopex was here Tom Hanks house
24:19
was there
24:20
and then the guy that was in the Bruce
24:22
Jones character was right there actually
24:24
has a restroom in it and then Corey
24:26
Feldman's house was right there which is
24:28
also the Monstrous house kind of let's
24:31
have a look inside shut up and paint
24:32
your GD house
24:35
we'll head into the front door this is
24:38
where the clubex house was right here
24:39
this is where he pulls out
24:41
this is where he pulls out and beats the
24:43
hell out of the trash can right here Tom
24:46
Hanks and them are over there he's like
24:47
I've never seen that I've never seen
24:49
someone pull up to another driveway take
24:51
their trash beat the hell out of it with
24:53
a stick I've never seen that
24:56
and this is where uh Bruce Stern falls
24:58
off the roof
25:00
and that's where Corey Feldman's house
25:01
was over there
25:03
Department functional restroom in here
25:07
all right please let us inside dude it
25:09
never hurts to ask
25:11
all right you can decorate this wall so
25:13
that if you're pointing oh my gosh way
25:15
and framed out the plywood in the other
25:18
room it would look like you were in a
25:19
furnished house
25:25
wow oh there actually is bathrooms in
25:25
here yeah these are usable restrooms
25:27
High ceilings for
25:29
lighting equipment cameras yeah
25:31
absolutely there's also a usable
25:34
backyard that we can have a look at if
25:35
you know
25:36
oh my gosh the backyard the backyard
25:39
I'll see if I can see the telephone
25:42
patio furniture but also recently for a
25:44
very very top secret like so top secret
25:47
I literally can't tell you what it is oh
25:50
Meg there's the power pole from The
25:52
Burbs
25:57
the guy falls off right there
25:57
that's the actual power pole that he got
25:59
electrocuted on that's a good eye I've
26:01
never even noticed that wow that's the
26:04
one he like fought like gets shocked
26:05
from right there
26:08
still there
26:14
Holy Ghost
26:14
that is wild you never noticed that
26:16
before
26:17
well we don't very often come back here
26:19
on this on the tour oh Mike this has
26:22
been used recently honestly this is the
26:23
back of Tom Hank's house right there
26:25
look at that
26:28
oh my gosh that is amazing
26:40
all right that's epic
26:40
dude that's the that's the electrical
26:42
power pole
26:44
that that falls it gets electrocuted
26:47
right there oh that is it you know yeah
26:51
this is the back of Tom Hank's House
26:56
or we can go through the driveway right
26:56
over here
27:08
so a lot of the things about this house
27:08
or this street that is uh the pavement
27:11
the sidewalks the driveways the basic
27:14
structure if you've seen the birds this
27:16
is where the garbage truck was
27:18
where they're dumping all the trash out
27:19
right here
27:29
absolutely this is where it raises the
27:29
flag here
27:31
the house
27:33
because though that has appeared yet the
27:35
television series the prequel to the
27:37
movies sorry I didn't hear that part
27:39
this hasn't aired yet but it's rumored
27:41
to be the house okay yeah so this this
27:43
house is completely different but this
27:45
was Tom Hanks house in The Burbs klopex
27:47
house right here and there is that
27:50
telephone pole there and this yellow and
27:52
Stone House this is uh the house where
27:55
uh Adam this is his house
27:58
this was uh Bruce jurn's house it was
28:01
that scene where he like has the has the
28:04
also the weapon on top of the roof
28:05
blasts it off falls down over here
28:08
Feldman's like
28:10
awesome Pizza dude Feldman's rumors
28:13
right there in The Burbs
28:19
but obviously yeah Desperate Housewives
28:19
is like a huge huge movie too this is
28:21
also the house where Brian with Brian
28:22
Cranston lived in in the movie why him
28:25
okay
28:27
is this one right behind us
28:33
and this is the remake of Leave it to
28:33
Beaver house too right wasn't it like
28:34
the remake
28:36
and then this was where the car hey
28:39
Pinocchio The Burbs drives up into there
28:44
and I believe this is the Animal House
28:46
house or maybe that one is
28:48
1313 Mockingbird Lane yeah this is
28:50
originally the house from the monsters
28:53
it got a bit of a facelift though when
28:55
Desperate Housewives came to town is
28:57
that the Animal House house or is that
28:58
one do you know I think it might be that
29:01
one well this is the house so this was
29:03
Gabby's house on Desperate Housewives
29:04
and uh that's uh Eva Longoria's
29:07
character and then it was also the house
29:09
from Harvey the Jimmy Stewart movie
29:11
Harvey yeah
29:12
the Animal House
29:14
not sure we're not we can't confirm
29:19
and then this was the neighbor and the
29:21
birds this is where the car crashes in
29:23
and I believe you could even see
29:26
that same kind of window Style just even
29:28
in The Burbs
29:33
and one thing I've always heard back to
29:33
Future Part Two when Marty has a leather
29:35
jacket on in the binoculars and he's
29:37
going to where Biff lives with his
29:39
grandma going to get my car grandma
29:41
and he's like walking along that one
29:43
Beth has the ball and he throws the ball
29:45
up on the ledge most of that was on
29:47
Bushnell in South Pasadena but the
29:49
opposite sides where this was what I've
29:51
always heard never confirmed it where
29:53
Marty is on the other side of the street
29:55
was actually right here on Colonials
29:58
what I've always heard right along there
30:00
Marty McFly
30:03
somewhere in that so they actually do go
30:04
inside of rums Fields right up here
30:08
hey rumsfield
30:14
that's where him and his wife go right
30:14
in here look at this
30:19
and then across the street Tom Hank's
30:19
House been redone Walter's house which
30:22
would have been in the middle of the
30:23
street going that way making the
30:25
cul-de-sac
30:26
absolutely freaking incredible
30:36
now honestly there is just so much
30:36
history at Universal Studios Hollywood
30:39
but I would think you know Town Square
30:40
Hill Valley obviously and Courthouse
30:42
Square first Twilight Zone episode Back
30:44
to the Future Gremlins all that and then
30:47
second
30:48
to that which probably on par with that
30:50
so much filming history here on Colonial
30:53
Street 1313 Mockingbird Lane I mean a
30:56
lot of people when you do the tour now
30:57
they're always going to mention
30:58
Desperate Housewives that's the most
31:00
current thing but there's just a
31:01
plethora things that were filmed right
31:04
here on this street hundreds if not
31:05
thousands of Productions that you've
31:07
probably seen and didn't realize some of
31:09
your favorite characters are walking
31:10
right down this road or using these
31:12
facades and these Interiors
31:20
look at the size of this manhole
31:20
all right this is definitely Redeeming
31:22
the entire tour this is just awesome
31:25
the driver of the van tour guide
31:28
it's just the other one was so I think
31:30
it was so hectic I think everybody else
31:31
on the tour just wanted to kind of get
31:33
up to the theme park
31:34
but it worked out well
31:37
I think the Matlock half yeah I was a
31:39
matter of the Matlock house was over
31:40
there
31:56
maybe from this side but you'll come up
31:56
the hill in the other direction is there
31:58
a way we could drive up this hill up
32:00
this hill yeah into the driveway this is
32:02
the house of a thousand that's right
32:03
spot spot two where Bill Mosley
32:07
ends the guy's life over here on the
32:09
corner that's right the door that's also
32:11
where I will always love you with saying
32:14
inside there look inside this let's go
32:16
actually really special yeah yeah oh my
32:17
God yes it's a chicken ranch we got Elm
32:20
Street and the Boo Radley down there and
32:22
so right over here is where Bill Mosley
32:24
and the cop are and House of a thousand
32:27
right here there's like all those like
32:28
stuff was set up and this is where Dolly
32:30
Parton sings to Burt Reynolds was that
32:32
head into the door let's look in the
32:35
door yeah
32:38
Texas
32:45
this is where Dolly sang I Will Always
32:45
Love You Inside here
32:48
on those steps are there right here can
32:50
we look in the door let's head up the
32:51
porch and we can look in the door just
32:53
don't go in the house okay because truth
32:55
be told the houses are not meant to be
32:57
inhabited so there's no co-working House
32:59
of a thousand
33:01
oh
33:03
the house itself this being a practical
33:04
set one you can use to film both in and
33:06
out is really extraordinary that is
33:10
crazy
33:11
this whole house when it was used for
33:13
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas also
33:15
used to be on a hinge like a dollhouse
33:17
yeah you open the house up and also
33:19
Beethoven hey Beethoven was here
33:23
I recognize that staircase nerd
33:29
that is awesome
33:31
man I have wanted to stand up here for
33:33
years
33:35
uh do you know that's a great question
33:37
the outside was definitely used as the
33:39
Firefly house in House of a Thousand
33:41
Corpses I don't know that they use the
33:42
inside the inside is absolutely from
33:45
best little world oh yeah because she
33:46
was on the banister singing right there
33:48
yeah oh my gosh our Dolly Parton's I
33:51
Will Always Love You
33:52
this is the inside of the festival
34:04
and then yeah it's kind of an unknown
34:04
one but yeah right here
34:06
Bill Mosley House of a thousand
34:09
the Firefly house
34:11
hey this look they made this look like a
34:13
real Road and all this was like kind of
34:15
shacks and dilapidated stuff
34:18
I can't line it up because I wasn't
34:20
prepared for this but it's somewhere
34:21
right in here
34:23
I mean you could definitely notice if
34:24
you watch the movie you can see all that
34:32
unbelievable it's turned out to be a
34:32
good also yeah Beethoven
34:34
in Buried locations try to match it up
34:51
it's freaking great look at this
34:51
how often are you going to get that
34:52
angle
35:05
brother that's the area
35:05
they're going to drive us back by the
35:07
lion estate Recreation signs right there
35:12
oh of course we'll get the right angle
35:14
though so we can get a picture
35:19
that's blocked
35:19
that's all right we can get to the the
35:21
side of it over here
35:23
and from the way I understand it these
35:25
are Recreations oh yeah yeah so you got
35:28
the lion Estates but then over here it
35:31
actually shows
35:34
officially licensed exact Recreations
35:36
original lion estate skates from Back to
35:38
the Future or commissioned where we're
35:39
going back Joe Walser and Ken were
35:41
displayed at the long weekend of 30th
35:42
anniversary night these were created
35:44
back in October of 2015.
35:57
they recreated them in 2015 for the
35:57
We're Going Back event
36:05
s
36:15
this is a creature
36:15
I was in nope right by this Lake you can
36:18
immediately recognize the fountains and
36:21
those sound stages in the background and
36:23
nope all right because the opening of
36:25
that movie takes place in a movie studio
36:27
yeah right here all right one last stop
36:29
again they've been very accommodating
36:32
this would out this was Alfred
36:33
Hitchcock's office
36:36
5195 I have driven past this 100 plus
36:39
times in the regular tour in the
36:41
VIP with this driving guide are allowing
36:44
us to get out here and he got hitchcocks
36:48

37:03
all right we're now exiting out of here
37:03
where we had access in there and they
37:07
were very kind the guys were very kind I
37:08
think the day has been redeemed totally
37:12
redeem yourself
37:18
no house but I saw Albert Hitchcock's
37:18
office I know so good
37:20
today worked out good
37:22
today worked out really good a little
37:24
slow yeah start a little slow but ended
37:27
perfect probably one of the best VIP
37:29
tours I've ever done
37:30
we all need Desperate Housewives
37:32
The Burbs
37:34
they gave us another complimentary water
37:36
I had a coffee
37:38
started off
37:40
I don't know started off at probably
37:42
around a D minus and now it's an A plus
37:44
a plus plus plus Universal Studios come
37:49
visit the studio that gets thumbs up and
37:52
if you have an opinion about something
37:53
go talk to the VIP guys
37:55
express your grievances maybe they'll
37:58
work it out for you yeah all right
38:00
heading back over to my hotel which is
38:02
on the other side looking into the park
38:05
I'm not sure what floor those are but
38:07
I'm kind of close to the top I'll show
38:08
you what I'm up there and that's gonna
38:10
do it for today
38:11
started off a little rough
38:13
but ended up working out for the best
38:17
it was actually a really good good time
38:19
and now I know for a future reference to
38:21
be a little bore
38:23
informative informed or
38:26
let them know exactly kind of what you
38:28
want to see
38:32
when you're doing the tour
38:32
it was a good time
38:34
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
38:37
is over
38:38
bonus footage it is kind of incredible
38:41
though that they show that you're going
38:43
to see this this would never happen
38:45
let alone are you going to be able to go
38:47
in to an area where they are filming
38:50
something and you're certainly not going
38:52
to have the you're not going to be
38:54
watching this happen
39:04
it would have been nice to go back there
39:04
but they were setting up for for
39:06
something
39:08
as stated every time I do this it's a
39:10
totally different totally different
39:11
experience
39:13
see here's some this shows that they're
39:15
filming something you would never be in
39:17
an area where they're filming something
39:19
so I'm not sure why
39:20
that's the case
39:22
oh I was there right there
39:30
okay this we got to see this is the prop
39:30
Warehouse we're not allowed to take
39:32
photos in there though that was that
39:34
makes sense so they didn't want photos
39:35
inside the prop Warehouse
39:38
Gourmet dining food on point
39:41
and express you can walk on all the
39:43
rides which is nice we did a couple a
39:45
couple of the rides it wasn't really a
39:47
ride day however like this
39:49
is never going to happen happens Beyond
39:51
like
39:52
I don't know that's yeah you're not
39:54
gonna see a guy flying out the window
39:57
explosion into an airbag with that's not
39:59
gonna yeah that's that's not that's not
40:01
gonna happen
40:02
they saw that that was great
40:08
all in all
40:08
a really good day
40:12
big thank you to the vi experience crew
40:15
