welcome everyone I'm at the old Iverson
0:13
Movie Ranch here in Southern California
0:15
if you watched old Cals or old TV
0:18
westerns from the 1940s 1950s and 1960s
0:23
chances are you have seen a lot of these
0:25
rocks these thousands and thousands of
0:27
rocks that are spread out over acres and
0:30
acres and Acres from the former Movie
0:32
Ranch it is now grown up with condos
0:35
houses and developments but there are a
0:38
lot of remnants of a bygone era of
0:41
Innocence a western era if you will and
0:45
I want to show you what remains out here
0:46
join me shall you
1:18
okay this is a prime spot where
1:18
rattlesnakes probably would hang out not
1:20
too happy about this little area got to
1:23
get up there though
1:34
now we could spend hours and hours out
1:34
here hunting down old movie and
1:36
television spots but I wanted to focus
1:37
on a few key awesome tidbits that I
1:40
found very interesting let's go find
1:43
them come on don't just stand there come
1:45
with
1:57
me do you remember Zoro the mark of the
1:57
Z well in 1944 Zoro zoro's black whip
2:01
came out zoro's horse tornado actually
2:04
came out of what they called the zoro's
2:07
mine where is that zoro's mine right
2:11
over
2:21
there
2:21
right up there of course after all these
2:25
years the cave does not look like it did
2:29
during the show but there are some
2:32
remnants of what
2:40
remains just look at all this this is
2:40
incredible that after decades and
2:42
decades and decades the cave was built
2:45
right
2:58
here here's this mesh that has left here
2:58
so many years later
3:01
that is awesome and of course you can
3:04
see
3:05
here that's where the
3:08
wall was built for the mine cave
3:11
entrance would have started here come
3:14
way out creating the false door of the
3:18
mine that led right into this
3:22
rock that is awesome check this out
3:26
here's an actual rock and here's part of
3:28
the formation look at this that is not
3:31
part of an actual rock look this is a
3:35
facade that's mounted right up against
3:38
there all these years later still here
3:41
the mesh is still there and this is a
3:43
piece of Hollywood
3:46
history from the late 40s
4:07
in 1965 Burgess Meredith killing white
4:07
truck K it hits appeared in an episode
4:10
of a television show The Loner and they
4:13
actually carved in the side of the rock
4:17
something that is here to this day that
4:19
was used for one shot in that particular
4:22
episode it's right over there things
4:25
have definitely changed since the old
4:27
days of television and movie production
4:30
you would never see a production company
4:32
today leave remnants of what they
4:34
actually created but the same could not
4:37
be said for this in carving in The Rock
4:42
still here 50 years after it was carved
4:46
by the television
4:48
show that is awesome don't make it hard
4:52
for me cedri the way the plot of the
4:54
show went is there were two friends when
4:55
they were children and as they were
4:57
young they carved their names right in
5:00
here we carved our names up here
5:02
together we come up here with no bigger
5:04
than this and then later on in the show
5:06
when the one man was hunting down the
5:08
other one no one could find him except
5:10
his friend he knew the secret
5:13
spot and that secret spot Still Remains
5:18
then they're going to put me in a cage
5:19
you said you'd kill me before you'd let
5:21
that
5:29
happen looking at that tree I must say
5:29
in my my non-expert opinion that looks
5:32
like a tree that has been used in a lot
5:34
of westerns pretty sure that that tree
5:38
and this tree were
5:41
documented on some TV shows what do you
5:43
guys think yay or nay look at all these
5:47
carvings these little nooks and crannies
5:49
if you will that are actually all along
5:52
the side of the
5:54
tree right now I'm not paying attention
5:56
to the history I'm paying attention to
5:59
that at ant with wings and ant with
6:19
wings the thing that's interesting is
6:19
all this history lies just over the
6:21
horizon from Main thorough faar's
6:23
freeways homes and
6:25
businesses lots of houses out
6:28
here ah ah the
6:31
future
6:33
and the past in 1941 there was a cereal
6:37
no not the cereal that you eat with milk
6:40
but a series of television shows called
6:43
a cereal The Adventures of Captain
6:46
Marvel and in chapter 12 one of the
6:48
scenes was filmed right here the car
6:53
would have sped directly towards us
6:55
right down what looked to appear to be a
6:57
road but in reality it was not a road it
7:01
was made to look like a bridge of some
7:04
sort and the bridge of
7:06
rocks still remain and the shot looks
7:12
very similar as it
7:13
does in the early 1940s take a look at
7:17
that now
7:18
that is awesome including that rock
7:22
right up there Still Remains as well as
7:26

Tom Mix and right here on this rock in
8:11

8:16
this rock and you can actually see the
8:19
Engravings they place for his boot marks

8:26
that he would not slide down doing the
8:28
