Today's adventure begins as the
0:03
recording of this Sunday, May 11th,
0:06
2025. It is a little cooler today than
0:09
it has been the last few here in Mexico
0:11
City. And it's overcast. Well, take it a
0:14
step further. It is rainy and a little
0:16
dreary and cooler than it has been. Not
0:18
cold. I might have to purchase an
0:21
umbrella as I head
0:24
out for the day. Needed to get some
0:26
cash. I came over here to the ATM. They
0:28
have like a whole row of ATMs in here
0:31
inside this little room. It's not like
0:33
an actual bank where you walk into and
0:35
see a teller. It's just a room full of
0:37
ATMs. Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo
0:40
here. So on my agenda today, I would
0:42
like to take a cruise down a river on a
0:45
boat I've heard about. And also there is
0:47
an island full of dolls. Those are my
0:49
main agenda. However, Louise might have
0:53
some other
0:54
things on your agenda. Yes. couple of
0:57
interesting places on our way to the
1:00
canals. Luis was with me yesterday.
1:03
People seem to enjoy the fact that
1:04
you're local and you're showing me
1:05
around. I'm glad. A little bit. And
1:08
we're going to get some coffee. I
1:09
thought should we get Starbucks again?
1:11
You said I know a local place. So, you
1:13
going to take me and show me around? Of
1:14
course. Piping hot caffeinated beverage.
1:17
Yes. I'm inviting you to join me and
1:20
Louis.
1:22
Shall you? Nailed it. I talked over you
1:25
yesterday, so I figured today I'll let
1:26
you let you have the whole thing. I
1:28
think yesterday was a bit better. Oh,
1:30
was it? Yeah, I think so. My
1:33
Sometimes I'll say Luis and sometimes
1:35
I'll say Lewis. Which do you prefer?
1:38
Pass. My last name actually. No, not
1:41
really. It's okay. Like in Spanish is
1:43
Luis. Luis. Louis. Yes. How do you say
1:47
how do you say Adam in Spanish? Adan.
1:49
Adan. Adan. Yeah. Yesterday we we had
1:51
coffee and they they wrote my name on
1:53
it. Adan. Yeah. Adan. Adan. Adan.
1:57
Lewis or Luis. Either one. You. Either
1:58
one. All right. Adan. This is where
2:01
we're getting the coffee right here.
2:03
Cafe. Emir. Emir. Emir. All right.
2:06
Little local spot.
2:15
All right. So, 20 is one. Still getting
2:15
my bearings on this. So, 20 is one. 20
2:17
pesos. $1.
2:20
Look at this cute little tip guy.
2:22
We got the coffee here. Stopped off in
2:24
the tile house. It's interesting. A lot
2:28
of the buildings here in the city are
2:29
sinking. So, they're kind of slanted.
2:31
And this is no exception. This is like a
2:34
used to be a very rich like almost like
2:36
a mansion that rich person own. And they
2:39
turned it into this restaurant here.
2:41
Very, very nice. But you can see if you
2:43
took a level across there, you could you
2:45
can see how it's kind of sinking a
2:47
little bit. This is called the tile
2:49
house.
2:58
You said the richest man in Mexico owns
2:58
this. Yes. The department store that
3:00
owns the place is owned by the richest
3:02
man in Mexico. Yes. The tile house. And
3:06
it's a very typical restaurant as well.
3:08
So whenever you want to have typical
3:10
Mexican and tuitos. Yeah. This is one of
3:13
those. I love the little mural there,
3:15
too.
3:17
And you should see how fancy the
3:19
restrooms are as well. I don't think I
3:21
could film in there. Not inside, of
3:23
course. The outside of the tile house.
3:26
See where it gets its name cuz it has
3:27
the tile all along the side.
3:37
This is the Palace of Fine Arts here,
3:37
right? Yes. The art m art place. It is.
3:40
And it's also sinking. This one is one
3:41
of the the buildings that are sinking
3:43
the most in Mexico City because it's too
3:46
heavy and the land is very unstable
3:49
because Mexico City was built on a
3:51
former water table like the water table
3:53
like the lake. Yes or no?
3:57
So in how many years you think some of
3:58
these will be destroyed? Like thousands
4:00
of years, hundreds of years? Maybe a
4:02
couple of hundred perhaps. So a couple
4:04
hundred years they're going to have to
4:05
do something about this building. Yeah,
4:07
they they have started already. I think
4:08
they're like injecting concrete below
4:11
them. I think so. Yeah. I noticed this
4:13
the other day. I was just in
4:16
passing. This is a Beethoven sculpture.
4:20
In fact, it has Beethoven's name right
4:22
on it.
4:35
I'm guessing this is the the musician
4:36
Beethoven. Yes. Yes. honoring him. Yes.
4:39
I saw this the other day and I I wasn't
4:41
positive it was another Beethoven. No.
4:43
Was he from here? He wasn't from Mexico.
4:46
German. Was he? Well, his name was in
4:48
German. From Europe, right? Ludwig is my
4:50
name in German. So, German. Yeah. Okay.
4:52
Oh, okay.
4:58
So, your name in Germany would be
4:58
Ludvig. Ludwig. Yeah.
5:02
So, why would this be here? Why do they
5:04
just they love him here? Yeah. It's like
5:06
how in for example Central Park you have
5:09
some monuments for artists or literature
5:13
writers or whatever. I think sometimes
5:16
some foreign governments give this kind
5:18
of stuff to Mexico as a gift. Also
5:20
notice that they use these whisk brooms
5:22
here. You don't really see those in the
5:23
states the whisk style like the really
5:26
big whisk style but I noticed all the
5:28
workers will use those whisk brooms.
5:30
Yes. Very very common. And you can still
5:32
see some kakarandas here. Oh yeah.
5:37
Yeah. More here than we saw yesterday at
5:38
the other spot.
5:41
So, we're going to catch the subway from
5:42
here.
5:44
Oh, one thing. Did I mention in the
5:45
intro that we're going to might maybe
5:46
see a Total Recall
5:48
locations. We are enter the subway. Did
5:52
the subway yesterday.
5:54
And it once again this is the fine arts
5:58
district. Bella
6:01
Artis. A double L would be like a Yas.
6:04
Beas art. Beas artist. And that means
6:07
art. Fine arts. Fine arts. Beas.
6:20
Case of emergency. You break the glass.
6:20
Here you have a telephone. Emergency
6:22
telephone. You also have the fire
6:24
extinguisher. When I was in South Korea,
6:26
they had emergency ones. You break the
6:27
glass and they had gas masks. Yeah. Not
6:30
here
6:48
fortunately. Oh yeah, this is definitely
6:48
the same vicinity of the total recall
6:51
clip cuz I
6:52
recognize that's
6:55
right. I recognize the roof line right
6:58
here. This very interesting type of roof
7:02
here with the
7:10
escalators. What a crazy movie. Extreme
7:10
sci-fi. Very violent.
7:41
That's
7:43
right. This is
7:46
awesome. It still kind of has that gray
7:49
tone. And I think they originally was
7:52
really colorful and they painted over it
7:53
for the movie from what I was reading.
7:55
All right. Total
8:02
recall the subway. The subway
8:03
scene up at the top up
8:10
here. From what I was reading, they
8:10
filmed it like 2 or 3 in the morning
8:11
when the subway was
8:14
closed and they obviously switched the
8:16
direction of the escalator. There was
8:18
quite a few escalators used, but yeah, I
8:20
think this is I think this is one of
8:21
them right right there. The same one as
8:23
the subway's coming by and he's running
8:25
up this running up the escalator. So
8:27
many great I like the one where the the
8:29
guys are grabbing him. He's like, "What
8:30
what the f did I
8:40
do? Even the pillars across the way
8:40
still kind of look the same. You notice
8:42
that pillar over there where Anie is
8:45
running up right here. That's
8:49
right. Such a weird movie. Classic, but
8:53
a weird movie. Very weird
9:02
movie. When I was in London, I love the
9:02
London subway system and I checked out
9:04
one of the spots from American Werewolf
9:06
in London that was filmed the side of
9:07
the subway. I don't know what it is
9:09
about subways in
9:11
movies. They're very prevalent.
9:15
So this very escalator is where that
9:18
really intense scene is when the guy who
9:20
uses the other guy as a shield and
9:22
throws the the body's deceased body down
9:25
right onto the right onto here. It's all
9:29
right
9:35
here. There are two escalators that go
9:35
the same direction. The one they use is
9:37
this one here. Scene from the movie.
9:39
It's kind of hard to really get it all
9:40
lined up because the escalator is very
9:42
busy with people. This is a clip from
9:43
the film. You can see how the stairs
9:47
running along the escalator are. And you
9:48
can see how over there they still kind
9:51
of look the same as they're coming up
9:53
here. Very dramatic, very uh very
9:55
violent scene. You know, one thing
9:56
that's pretty pretty interesting that
9:58
you see uh Arnold there. That's right.
10:01
But look at the floor pattern. Still
10:02
looks the same. I think that movie came
10:04
out in
10:05
90. I think it came out a long time ago.
10:08
The floor pattern still looks the same.
10:10
And I love the the roof line which you
10:12
can see very visibly. And look at the
10:14
roof. So he would have been coming right
10:15
up the escalators there. And you can
10:17
kind of see the signage there behind his
10:19
head right
10:26
there. Yeah. He used a body as a shield
10:26
and threw it at the bad guys.
10:27
Interesting. Back there. This wasn't a
10:29
You still see the slants there on
10:31
the on the the boards or the structural
10:37
part of the bridge, the walkway bridge,
10:38
but now they have it open where you can
10:40
see out the windows, but that's the spot
10:42
where they're running towards the
10:44
escalator. There's a This is a It's a
10:46
beehive of activity in
10:49
here. There's really no way to get it
10:51
without any people in it. It's like It's
10:53
impossible. Here's a slight slight stop.
10:56
He's coming up right there.
10:58
There he
10:59
is. Oh, there used to be a light down
11:02
the middle. See, there used to be like a
11:03
hanging light down the middle of it.
11:06
Really looks like a lot of the lighting
11:07
is the only thing that's really changed.
11:08
They had a different different style of
11:10
lighting back then 35 years
11:17
ago. Really love to pan up and show this
11:17
angle, but it's just constant amount of
11:20
people. I mean, just here, I'll do this.
11:24
There's the There's the angle right
11:25
there. There you go.
11:31
That's the spot.
11:35
Waiting for a quick gap. And there we
11:38
go. Right there.
11:57
Oh
11:57
yeah. So, there's the sound stages for
12:00
the studio. I'm going to try to maybe go
12:01
by there a little bit later, but those
12:03
sound stages is where Honey I Shrunk the
12:06
Kids were filmed, Total Recall, Hearts
12:09
of Titanic, Romeo and Juliet,
12:13
Dune. Yeah, right there. Honey, I Shrunk
12:15
the Kids was all that neighborhood was
12:16
all inside those sound stages. Fun fact.
12:19
Yeah. If you ever rewatch Honey, I
12:21
Shrunk the Kids, you see the
12:22
neighborhood scene, the backyard scene,
12:24
the front yard scene, all of that. Pay
12:27
attention to the
12:28
clouds.
12:30
Sorry. Pay attention to the
12:33
clouds. What's that guy
12:36
doing? What just happened? I don't know.
12:38
We're with people. Loito Centro.
12:41
What does that mean? the crazy guy from
12:43
the downtown. I don't
12:47
I was like this whole this whole thing's
12:48
open. He's like right behind me like
12:50
hovering over my neck. But if you look
12:52
at the clouds behind the neighborhood
12:55
and Honey, I shrunk the
12:57
kids. They're painted on the side of the
13:00
sound stage wall. So if you ever watch
13:02
the movie again, pay attention. The
13:04
clouds aren't moving. They're painted
13:10
on. All right. So, I mentioned this
13:10
yesterday, but you have to take 10 pesos
13:12
to use restaurants. And this is kind of
13:15
the setup when getting off the subway.
13:17
Also going to meet up with
13:19
Luis's family. And from here, we're
13:22
going to go take in their car, go the
13:25
duration of the rest of the way down
13:28
southward over to the river and see some
13:31
see some of the doll island. I've
13:32
arrived at this like a papermâché, but
13:35
this like metal little sculpture here.
13:37
Laona. recognize that from that's a
13:40
legend of a lady here in Mexico and they
13:42
had an HHN maze last year based on her.
13:44
Thing I'm noticing here is you don't get
13:46
packs of cigarettes. You buy the cig the
13:48
cigarettes individually. Take a look at
13:50
here. So they're all like
13:53
individually individuals right there.
13:57
A non-smoker. But it is kind of
13:58
interesting that you don't get the packs
14:00
here. You just buy them singly. You buy
14:02
a single cigarette if you so choose.
14:04
Just a allocart allocart cigarette. So
14:07
the boat tour is almost 4 hours. Two
14:11
hours there to the island, island of the
14:13
dolls and
14:15
then two hours back. So it's going to be
14:18
a full day
14:19
thing. I guess the only way to get there
14:21
cuz it's an island is to take the
14:30
boats. They are just lined up here. Just
14:30
dozens of them or maybe even hundreds of
14:33
them. They just they go all the way down
14:35
the canal. Like look at that down
14:37
there. All these boats.
14:41
There's a couple stops along the way,
14:44
too. This is going to be awesome. You
14:47
got some ducks here getting ready to go
14:49
on the boat. We're ready. Ducks, you're
14:52
staying here. Okay, fine. I believe this
14:54
is the one we're going on here. You got
14:57
a few, but this is us here. Viva
15:01
Lupita. Hey, we're pulling away. So
15:03
basically, you just rent the entire
15:05
boat. So if it's one person, it's the
15:07
same price as if it was 20 people. And
15:09
there's a group of four of us, plus the
15:11
person who's going to be is going to be
15:14
the captain of the boat.
15:32
All right. They're going down the Is
15:32
this a river or a canal? Canal. Canal.
15:35
They used to be part of the lake, but
15:37
then the Mishikas built those chinampas,
15:40
which are artificial islands that were
15:43
used to for agriculture.
15:54
Is this like a salesman selling beer?
15:54
Yeah. In the canoe.
15:58
That's kind
15:59
of in the canoe there.
16:21
That's like a pork rind. Almost like a
16:21
pork rind. Yeah, the pork rind is
16:23
sabones. This one. There's these boats,
16:26
but there's also boats that the locals
16:28
use to get around. This is almost like
16:30
a public transit for locals here.
16:33
Amazing that just one person guides this
16:37
whole thing. I would imagine it probably
16:38
be a lot more difficult and
16:40
heavier if there was more people on
16:42
here. But evidently, he's tied up in
16:45
tied in some trash or weeds over here.
16:47
So, he's trying to untangle the boat
16:49
from
17:17
So, we just got to run the stick
17:17
underneath the boat to get the trash.
17:48
Thanks. Honestly, this is so freaking
17:48
cool. Just going down a peaceful, quiet
17:50
river on a boat.
17:58
standing here on the I'll say the edge
17:58
of the boat, but pretty close to the
18:00
front.
18:45
That's the party boat right there. Yeah.
18:45
All right. Got some thatch roof tents
18:46
over here. Got this gentleman on a canoe
18:49
going by.
18:52
Oh, look at this. There's a little
18:53
garden over here. Got some plants. And
18:55
you have salesmen here with their their
18:57
boats selling all kind of products, food
18:59
items, drinks and snacks and things.
19:01
That looks like an
19:02
entire like they're planting cactuses.
19:05
You see rows of cactus there. Almost
19:07
like you'd see like rows of corn or
19:10
something like that at a farm. Oh, look
19:12
at this.
19:15
He's coming for
19:17
us. This uh this goose is like coming
19:20
for us. Yeah, there's like row Look at
19:22
this. There's like rows of cactuses.
19:23
I've never seen that before. Just
19:25
following right beside us. Huh?
19:28
I
19:39
right, we are arriving at the doll
19:39
island now. An island full of dolls. The
19:42
only way to get to it, well, as far as I
19:43
know, is to take a
19:48
boat. It's like the whole thing here,
19:48
the doll island. Evidently, Tim Burton
19:51
has brought a doll by boat here and
19:52
placed one of his dolls here. And Lady
19:55
Gaga also brought a doll here once by
19:57
boat. So, I guess in order to get over
19:59
there, we got to somehow just jump over
20:02
to that one.
20:11
Do you need help? I think I got it. Yep.
20:11
Yes.
20:29
This is going to be cool. All right,
20:30
I've officially made it to the island of
20:31
the
20:38
dolls. Intruders will be
20:38
haunted and got out.
20:42
Wow.
20:51
Okay. They even have uh you enter and
20:51
exit through the gift shop. Okay. So,
20:53
was this island of the dolls? Is that
20:55
what that says?
21:01
Oh, I might have to get a
21:01
shirt. A
21:07
magnet. Wow. Look at
21:07
this. Holy
21:09
cow. Oh my gosh. There's like thousands
21:13
of them. Mhm.
21:15
Which direction we go? We go that way.
21:16
That way. Yeah. Okay. And then, of
21:18
course, Stitch.
21:36
What? This is
21:36
interesting. Wow. There's
21:39
Tweety. It's a small island full of
21:41
dolls.
21:48
There's
21:48
Mickey.
22:26
was like something you could go into. Is
22:26
this like a a little walk through? It
22:28
was like a haunt or something.
22:41
Is this a walk through? Yeah, they're
22:42
are going to tell us the story. Okay.
22:44
Well, we have to wait just for for here.
22:46
Okay.
23:15
Don't know if I've ever been to a place
23:15
like this. I've been to some places that
23:17
have dolls, even kind of creepy ones
23:20
like this, but nothing this expansive
23:22
that has
23:23
hundreds, if not
23:26
thousands of
23:34
dolls. There's a little bridge right
23:34
here full of creepy dolls.
25:00
Definitely want to get a t-shirt or
25:00
something
25:01
while I'm out here. It's a rooster.
25:16
All right, we're now go. We're getting
25:16
shut inside the door here. It's not like
25:19
a haunted walkthrough, but it is a bunch
25:21
of creepy
25:22
dolls inside. And evidently Tim Burton's
25:26
and Gaga are both in here.
25:45
Okay. The guy that created the island in
25:45
the 1950s.
25:55
Okay. He found
25:55
Body of a girl.
25:57
Oh, underwater. Under water.
26:18
He was a religious man and he tried to
26:18
pray and do stuff like putting a cross a
26:22
cross in front of the island but nothing
26:25
helps. Yeah. So he thought that his
26:28
religion betrayed him. That was the very
26:40
first and said that it was very like the
26:40
girl that he found.
27:36
Okay. His favorite though, the only one
27:36
that he named is her name. That's her
27:40
right there. The red hair. Yeah.
27:52
You can Yeah, those are like elves.
27:56
Elves. Yeah, elves. And you can let
27:59
something in change of a paper. Oh,
28:02
okay. You can
28:10
ask. Oh, both there.
28:22
Oh, really? The one Tim Burton brought
28:22
here. The Day of the Dead one. This Tim
28:24
Burton. Tim Burton. This here. So Tim
28:27
Burton brought that here and then Lady
28:29
Gaga brought that one here. That is so
28:31
cool.
28:37
The very first doll the guy found and
28:37
ended up starting the whole island. He
28:39
ended up the whole story is he saw a
28:41
little girl who had passed away and he
28:43
had like nightmares from it and he found
28:44
the doll and that kind of helped soo
28:46
them from the evil spirits. So he
28:48
started collecting other scary dolls to
28:49
ward off those spirits. And one of the
28:52
producers of Annabelle brought in this
28:54
raggedy and doll right here. It's one of
28:56
the most terrifying little shacks sheds
28:58
I've ever been inside of. Haunted dolls
29:02
right inside of here.
29:04
This is really something. So a lot of
29:06
different celebrities have brought stuff
29:07
in. So, Lady Gaga took the boat over
29:10
gave this to the island. So, Gaga has
29:12
been walking around. Then, of course,
29:13
Tim Burton. He definitely likes some
29:16
creepy things. He's
29:17
uh he is also So, this is the guy that
29:20
had the island. He was here all by
29:22
himself and he found a little girl who
29:24
had passed away and it haunted him for
29:27
the rest of his life. And the guide was
29:29
saying that 50 years later after he
29:31
found the girl and started the doll
29:34
island, he passed away in the same spot
29:37
that he found
29:53
interesting. What is
29:53
it? Oh, all the hands. All the hands and
29:56
feet.
30:01
It is interesting how people just bring
30:01
dolls in here.
30:05
Yeah, this is not creepy in any way,
30:06
shape, or
30:17
Island.
30:17
Fascinating. Here's the
30:20
restrooms. Don't need 10 pesos to get in
30:22
here, though.
30:25
This is like a old outhouse
30:33
style.
30:33
Yep. Creep creepiest bathroom ever right
30:36
there. That was
30:38
something like waiting for like
30:39
Leatherface to come around the corner. I
30:41
feel like I'm at like a haunted house,
30:42
right? Yeah.
30:49
Look at this, man.
30:49
You ever been out here before? No. First
30:52
time for me. Okay, excellent.
31:00
I wonder where the guy where he found
31:00
the little girl at like on the island.
31:02
Maybe we can ask and then where he died
31:05
in the same
31:14
spot. Wow. Look at
31:14
this old shacks here. So, how what would
31:18
this translation of this be? The island
31:21
of the dolls. Okay. Island of the
31:24
Dolls. I got a little like a little
31:27
photo op here. Nightmare fuel photo
31:30
op. This is
31:32
great. Only accessible by boats. So, you
31:36
enter around this way. This is the
31:37
creepy one over here. You got to cross
31:39
the bridge and then into the creepy What
31:43
does this say?
31:45
Julian. He lives here. Okay. He's asleep
31:48
here. Oh, this was his house. Yeah. This
31:50
is where the guy that passed away that
31:52
for 50 years had all the different
31:54
dolls. Yeah. This is uh this is
31:57
nightmare fuel right here for sure.
32:02
All right. There's a boat of mariachi
32:04
right here. Mariachi band right there on
32:06
this boat. A rolling mariachi.
32:10
A rolling mariachi band.
32:22
They're going to They're going to board
32:22
the boat. Yeah. But in the front,
32:36
you can see. You can see. No, you're
32:36
fine. I just want to let
32:40
you
32:46
Hold on.
33:10
away. I get what
33:13
I expect.
33:27
Back in the day, they used to have these
33:28
almost like lizardlike creatures that
33:30
used to live in the water here, but they
33:33
are endangered now. So, they're no
33:35
longer in the water. Evidently, they put
33:36
fish in here to get rid of some of the
33:38
plants over on the side. And those fish
33:41
ended up taking care of those kind of
33:42
lizardy looking creatures. But, we
33:44
stopped off at another spot where they
33:46
had a like an aquarium with quite a few
33:49
of those little interesting creatures.
33:51
There's a there's a there's one of the
33:52
bills, one of the peso bills here in the
33:55
in the country that shows that that kind
33:59
of like uh uses that as the mascot on
34:02
that particular bill, but in the in the
34:05
aquarium was able to kind of get an up
34:07
close personal look. And they also had
34:08
some other animals here. They had like a
34:10
gator and some uh turtles and things
34:13
like that. And I had never seen a
34:15
conglomeration of
34:18
albino frogs. and they had that as well.
34:22
And then we ended up getting back on the
34:23
river where there was a food stand was
34:26
approaching by and the guy that was
34:28
guiding the food stand ended up breaking
34:30
off the the stick that he uses to guide
34:32
the to guide the boat down the down the
34:34
river. So thankfully like 3/4 of the
34:36
stick was left. So he's got enough to I
34:38
guess get back to shore to get another
34:40
stick, but it completely snapped in
34:41
half. Which makes me wonder like what
34:43
happens when what happens when the the
34:45
guides lose their stick and all that cuz
34:48
they just it's just one guide per boat
34:49
and one stick. That's the only thing got
34:51
there's no motor on the boat. So
34:54
yeah. Right. Now we're heading it back
34:56
up to port right now. Almost back to the
34:59
where we
35:06
started. All right. That was awesome.
35:06
Love the Island of Dead Dolls and then
35:08
also the mariachi band was really great.
35:11
Off to the next spot. Pop back by over
35:13
where the studios were again. There's
35:15
four big I think there's four big sound
35:17
stages here. Honey, I shrunk the kids.
35:20
The neighborhood was right in there.
35:21
Rick Moranis. What a
35:34
classic a
35:34
studios churusco. Churusco.
35:42
That's the name of the general vicinity
35:42
this area. That is cool. So evidently
35:45
the Titanic. So the I think most of the
35:47
Titanic was filmed in England, but there
35:49
were a couple scenes. I think the scene
35:51
where the Titanic is up on its end and
35:53
then Rose and Jack are on the top and
35:55
it's sinking. I think that was in here.
35:58
Bunch of other stuff,
36:05
too. These are all studio vehicles. This
36:06
is a
36:07
prop prop
36:09
van running along parallel to the sound
36:29
stages. You know what's interesting is
36:29
first time I ever saw that movie and I
36:31
heard it was filmed in a sound stage and
36:32
not a real neighborhood. I always wanted
36:34
to see the studio, see the sound stage.
36:37
It's kind of a weird thing I've always
36:39
wanted to do, but just seeing this is
36:41
really cool because I saw that movie
36:44
hundreds of times when it came out. I
36:45
had it on VHS. I watch it. sister and I.
37:02
cool. That
37:04
says studio sound stage number eight.
37:07
Number eight right there. Okay. There
37:09
there are at least eight.
37:11
Yes. That's an elephant door right
37:13
there. That's what studios call elephant
37:15
doors.
37:31
All
37:31
right. I'm over here at this little mall
37:33
square circle area circling back. Well,
37:37
it's a circle building, but circling
37:39
back to Total Recall. There were a
37:41
couple scenes that were took place right
37:43
over in here from Total Recall. In fact,
37:46
I think one of them might have been
37:47
right over there. I had to like try to
37:49
match up a couple things. But with Anie
37:52
trying to find the exact spot when
37:54
Arnold's looking out the window and the
37:55
guy leaves his suitcase. This kind of
37:57
looks like it, but again, it's been
37:59
many, many years ago. This kind of the
38:01
angle here where he's going down.
38:02
There's a pay phone in that corner. I'm
38:04
going to walk around the circle, see if
38:06
I can find another spot, but this is the
38:07
closest thing I could see to where that
38:08
might be. But the pay phone behind the
38:10
guy leaving the suitcase right down
38:11
there. I don't know if that's it or not,
38:21
but see if I can find the other one.
38:21
There's another staircase that looks
38:22
like the one I was just at and this one
38:24
as well, which they all kind of look the
38:26
same with the traffic going over them.
38:28
And I believe the the one it is is the
38:30
next one over, but they're having like
38:31
an event and there's like a guy with a
38:34
saxophone and a big group of people that
38:35
are congregated in there. There's really
38:37
no way I'd be able to match everything
38:39
up.
38:41
But again, I'm not a thousand%
38:43
confident, but this could be where down
38:46
here he's picking it up. The lady next
38:48
to the pay phone that was like, "That's
38:49
my bag. I don't see your name on it."
38:51
And then she uh very offensively speaks
38:54
to Arnold and he kind of like looks this
38:57
direction. Then he walks out in the
38:58
courtyard, but I think it's the other
39:00
one where there's a huge group of
39:01
people. So, I can't get that get that
39:03
view. But as he runs back towards this
39:05
direction, you see that circular
39:07
building right there. He's got the
39:09
suitcase. There used to be a Coca-Cola
39:10
sign above it. But this right here is is
39:15
that views. There's that circular
39:16
building right over there in the
39:18
distance in that courtyard. Means he
39:19
would have got the Johnny cap right
39:21
around in here. Right around in this
39:23
spot. You can match up. So I think these
39:25
were color like a color orange, but now
39:28
they're painted green. But all this
39:30
through here looks the same when the
39:32
John he rips out the the guy that's a
39:34
driver, the taxi cab driver, the Johnny
39:35
cab, and drives off that way through
39:37
this little courtyard here. Pretty neat.
39:40
A little wrap up to what I was showing
39:41
earlier at the over at the subway. All
39:45
right, made it from there. Took an Uber
39:46
back over to the area I'm staying at
39:49
near the
39:51
Zokula. Today was a good
39:58
day. Saw a lot of great stuff. full day
39:58
of
39:59
fun to thank Luis and his family
40:03
for being so kind to do the boat ride
40:06
with me and then hang out and Luis
40:09
showing me quite a few things I didn't
40:10
know about Mexico
40:12
City. Well, that's going to do it for
40:14
today. Thanks for watching. I'll see you
40:16
in the next video. The
