0:21 around Universal Studio Hollywood

0:23 backlot

0:24 join me shall you

0:34 this video has basically thrown together

0:34 with the purpose of showing you what I

0:37 was able to get a first-hand account of

0:40 by doing a walking tour of the entire

0:43 back lot the Universal Studios Hollywood

0:46 which is awesome because all these areas

0:48 and all these facades were used in a

0:51 multitude of movies television shows and

0:54 of course music videos that I've seen

0:57 from childhood through my adult life a

1:00 lot of very fantastic places if you

1:02 recognize any of these spots feel free

1:04 to leave some comments down below and

1:06 the minute and second point of what

1:08 you're witnessing and we can have an

1:10 interactive area of goodness Chicago no

1:14 it's not Chicago that's the beauty of a

1:17 back lot remember in Dirty Harry when

1:21 Clint Eastwood said do you feel lucky

1:23 punk well I'm gonna show you where it

1:25 happened right there at the bottom of

1:27 this building below the stairs right

1:30 there whoa what

1:35 you

1:37 just look at all these awesome buildings

1:39 these are not real buildings though this

1:42 is just a painting or a mural or some

1:44 kind of a weird thing made to look like

1:47 a building one of the areas that really

1:53 blew my mind was right down here using

1:55 countless movies but I know it from Back

1:58 to the Future oh my goodness look at

2:03 this the amazing thing about this front

2:12 facade is that it's actually covering

2:14 the original clock tower I thought about

2:16 walking up here and getting a view maybe

2:19 up two stairs where the clock tower

2:21 originally once was then I decided maybe

2:24 I should just mosey or walk around the

2:27 back and check it out so here's what the

2:30 back of the clock tower looks like from

2:33 Back to the Future this is the part you

2:35 don't see in any of the films pretty

2:38 awesome that I was able to go back here

2:40 and now I'm showing you sir babe

2:44 shopping cart this house was actually

2:48 used in the best little whorehouse in

2:49 Texas as well as the Beethoven sequels

2:52 with that big hairy dog and then I

2:56 decided to go down this way down this

2:58 road full of historic movie homes

3:01 this was the cul-de-sac from the burbs

3:03 and also from a bunch of other

3:06 television shows and movies and

3:08 commercials maybe you recognize a few of

3:11 these houses this was actually the

3:13 animal house house right there

3:15 Animal House and then over this way

3:18 that's the Munsters house the crazy

3:20 Munsters house remember them 1313

3:24 Mockingbird Lane that's what it looks

3:26 like now this is what it looked like in

3:29 the TV show awesome yes this whole area

3:36 is very cool because of all the old

3:37 homes including this one to Leave It to

3:40 Beaver house did you see it rewind it if

3:43 you didn't and let me know if you think

3:45 I'm correct

3:46 was that the Leave It to Beaver house I

3:48 think so

3:49 moving on

3:50 going to this area use and pirates the

3:53 Caribbean yes this area here in pirates

3:56 and jaws its dries speaking of horror do

4:01 you recognize this house

4:03 the original psycho house well I got to

4:06 actually walk up that's me

4:09 adjusting my hand pointing it towards

4:12 the window and speaking of the window

4:14 who was that up there in the window

4:17 did you see mother mother mother whoa

4:25 what was really cool too is I actually

4:28 got to go up close and personal with the

4:31 psycho house and actually touch the

4:33 facade and look inside I'm not no

4:36 looking there though but I am gonna

4:37 touch this fake brick and then I went

4:40 around the back side and I took my

4:42 camera and I actually viewed the

4:45 interior nether-regions of Norman

4:49 Bates's mother's house and here's the

4:53 back side of the hotel down there and

4:56 look at this crumbling structure of the

4:59 rock wall that led downward and who's

5:02 over there to the left is that Norman

5:04 Bates

5:04 no it's Whoville now that's strange

5:09 Whoville right there dr. Seuss's

5:12 Whoville is right next door to the

5:15 psycho house the Bates Motel very

5:18 interesting and very neighborly whoo

5:23 Norman Bates that's who

5:26 I was then able to walk around this

5:29 plane crash catastrophe site using

5:32 countless commercials as well as a very

5:36 well-known Tom Cruise movie look at this

5:39 airliner that they brought in and

5:41 destroyed specifically for the film and

5:44 they've just left it here as part as the

5:47 backlot tram tour normally you can't get

5:50 off the tram but I was lucky enough to

5:53 get up close and personal with this

5:56 wreckage awesome

6:08 I'm not sure if any one of the

6:08 passengers realizes or not but they left

6:11 their duffel bag right there their

6:13 duffel bag was left it looks like a

6:19 tornado or a hurricane or another

6:22 national disaster has actually wiped

6:25 this area out but it's all part of movie

6:28 magic created for filming so that you

6:31 and I can be brought into a fantasy

6:33 world an imaginary creation by directors

6:37 producers and other people who have

6:40 actually brought the magic and the

6:42 wonder of movies to life is this the car

6:46 from that one film hmm

6:49 also there's a lawnmower there which

6:52 gives a little bit of realism in a

6:54 toilet did you see that toilet

7:05 looks like they're doing a little bit of

7:05 maintenance in this area maybe preparing

7:08 for a new movie this was the area from

7:11 city slickers where they had the Running

7:12 of the Bulls where we're going to move

7:14 on into the area where they film quite a

7:17 few westerns a lot of older westerns

7:21 Universal Studios westerns were filmed

7:24 in this area down these exact roads in

7:27 these saloons and general stores there's

7:30 a bridge that has nothing to do with

7:31 westerns that had nothing to do with

7:33 westerns and neither does this but this

7:36 is the site of the Universal Monsters

7:38 Hunchback of Notre Dame Frankenstein and

7:41 a plethora of other epic monsters right

7:45 here in the court of miracles there used

7:48 to be a fountain there and Frankenstein

7:49 walks through there and the Hunchback

7:51 yes

7:53 might not look it to you but this lagoon

7:56 area was the spot the car was hidden and

7:58 brought up by Norman Bates at the end of

8:01 psycho and also this was an Angela

8:04 Lansbury's TV show

8:06 Murder She Wrote not that car that's the

8:09 magnum p.i car in the backs of future

8:11 two cars I'm talking about Murder She

8:13 Wrote

8:14 so rewind it and you can see the Murder

8:16 She Wrote village moving on now remember

8:20 the show coach well the same guy from

8:22 coaches and Parenthood and this is the

8:25 house used in parenthood I got an

8:29 exclusive walkthrough there's my room on

8:32 the first floor this is what the

8:35 interiors of televisions show homes look

8:40 like that's outside the window forced

8:43 perspective and up the stairs there are

8:46 no rooms just lights and cameras and no

8:50 action other than me roaming around

8:53 because they were not filming this day

8:55 or else I would have not have been able

8:57 to show you there's Craig T Nelson from

9:00 coach and Parenthood he was in both of

9:03 them on the same soundstage this is kind

9:07 of a neat exclusive look around this

9:10 exact filming locations there's a peace

9:14 sign Matt looking outside let's actually

9:17 see what the backyard looks like not

9:20 like any backyard you or I would know

9:21 just full of lights tables and chairs

9:26 lighting rigs very bizarre very bizarre

9:31 indeed but this is what makes television

9:34 happen and Who am I to argue with the

9:37 way television is made and now I'm gonna

9:40 scurry out the front door with you we're

9:43 looking around the front yard and a

9:45 trophy and another trophy lots of

9:48 trophies here a lot of talk about

9:50 trophies that I love trophies and I love

9:53 the fact that this Universal Studios box

9:56 was able to be shown back up the stairs

9:59 again not really sure why oh that's why

10:02 cuz I wanted to show you that and the

10:04 couch and outside of

10:07 the window here's some props from the

10:09 show have you ever seen the movie

10:11 Parenthood well it actually created the

10:14 idea for the television show have you

10:17 seen the television show what do you

10:19 think about the television show and by

10:21 watching this video is it going to

10:23 prompt you to watch the television show

10:26 these are all questions you don't have

10:28 to answer unless you desire to answer

10:31 them in any fashion then do so now I'm

10:35 just rambling and coherently because

10:37 there's really not a whole lot else to

10:38 say other than Parenthood film I should

10:43 have looked in that toilet but a toilet

10:44 was not opened that's one thing I'm

10:47 gonna regret oh yeah now we're in the

10:49 prop warehouse lots of fantastic props
