0:04 a look at that Monumental Hill people

0:07 hiking up the hill going up there to

0:20 are going on an expedition around a back

0:23 lot that used to exist the studi still

0:31 movie and television history it was

0:34 filmed all right around in this area in

0:36 fact look at this sign this old antique

0:40 relic of an awesome side right here

0:50 sh King Kong gone it actually says near

0:50 the site in 1927 the set for Cecil be

0:53 demill king of kings was built used in

0:58 1932 as the gates for King Kong which

1:02 later became the burning city of Atlanta

1:04 for Gone With the Wind which was

1:08 destroyed December 10th 1938 I want to

1:11 start over here and actually show you

1:13 something that's really cool for

1:15 television history Buffs of The Andy

1:18 Griffith Show something is really

1:20 awesome over here right Donald yes

1:22 indeed right over here was where this

1:24 entire back lot in fact you can actually

1:27 go on Google and search Culver City

1:30 Studios Andy Griffith Show and you can

1:33 actually see where the back lot used to

1:36 go it used to run right down this way

1:38 down this stretch of road in the Andy

1:40 Griffith courthouse and Floyd's Barber

1:43 Shop was right there where was it right

1:46 there where palm tree is right there

1:47 where that palm tree was was the Andy

1:49 Griffith courthouse and of course

1:52 Floyd's Barber Shop the road was right

1:54 here where Barney F would have walked

1:58 right through here with his one bullet

2:00 Andy Griffith police car ant B Opie

2:03 Taylor all that happened right in here

2:06 and even more fantastic right here on

2:08 the corner of Hayden Place and what's

2:10 the name of

2:12 this

2:14 Hugo Hagia h i g u e r a street and

2:21 Hayden Place just look it up on Google

2:22 satellite view and right

2:24 here right here near this

2:27 foliage is where Andy Griffith's house

2:31 just think about that right there you're

2:33 knocking on Andy's

2:35 door visiting Aunt B were you a fan of

2:38 ant be oh yes you're a big fan Donald

2:42 Love Lucy Let It Be documented that

2:44 Donald is a fan of ant B and I am a fan

2:48 of this spot because this is actually

2:50 pretty darn cool so right here look it

2:53 up you can see some pictures on Google

2:55 some cool satellite views of when The

2:57 Andy Griffith Show was being filmed here

3:00 at Culver City Studios Backlot the

3:03 studios are actually way over there they

3:06 are actually still being used but the

3:08 entire Backlot has been demolished sad

3:12 to say and there was another movie that

3:14 you are a huge fan of Gone With the Wind

3:18 one of my 10 favorites one of your top

3:20 we're not going to talk about the other

3:21 nine we're only going to talk about one

3:24 of your top 10 gone with the win he's

3:26 brought the DVD as an homage get

3:30 motivated and excited and get some photo

3:32 opportunities and right here give us the

3:35 gone with the win tour as soon as these

3:38 cars get out of the way cuz I'm not a

3:40 big fan of traffic of

3:42 dying definitely not there were no cars

3:45 and Gone With the Wind no however the

3:47 last thing you want to do today is Be

3:49 Gone With The Wind by being run down by

3:52 a 2ton death machine in the form of a

3:55 new car all right so right here some

3:58 epic stuff from Gone With we can cross

4:01 over the road actually if you want cross

4:02 over now So Gone With the Wind as well

4:05 as Andy Griffith and goer pile was

4:07 filmed here what other what other TV

4:09 shows were filmed here besides going

4:10 with the wind episodes of the original

4:12 Batman original Batman right here right

4:15 hereza I think when you look up on the

4:18 satellite view you can see a freeway or

4:20 a road that runs parallel to us here on

4:23 the left side and then of course you can

4:25 see the higera street that runs that way

4:28 so when you find the picture on on

4:29 Google of the Culver Street Studios back

4:33 lot you can pretty much figure out where

4:35 we at Andy Griffith house right over

4:38 here the courthouse right over here and

4:40 now enough Andy Griffith let's talk

4:43 about Shaka Kong show the DVD Gone With

4:46 the Wind all right give us a history

4:48 lesson if you will okay no cars

4:51 fantastic I'm ready for my closeup Mr

4:54 Theo wait I'm trying to give you a

4:56 closeup but you turned around okay here

4:58 we go um

5:00 so there's a big scene in G of the wind

5:02 where a bunch of soldiers are laying on

5:04 the ground this is I remember that scene

5:07 and where was that this is the spot

5:08 right here right here in the ground near

5:11 that King Kong gone sign you're very

5:14 afraid of vehicles aren't you I am all

5:16 right we'll stay out of the road we do

5:18 not want Donald to have his fears come

5:22 to fruition in the form of a vehicle all

5:25 right so right in here on the ground so

5:29 right in here B basically this would

5:30 have been the spot describe the scene

5:33 again okay there's a there's a cran shot

5:36 cameras up there looking down all these

5:38 soldiers laying injured on the ground

5:40 Scarlet comes from that direction over

5:42 there if I'm not mistaken and she sees

5:44 all these soldiers laying there and

5:46 stuff and this was all Atlanta around

5:49 this all the city of Atlanta so this was

5:50 all the city of Atlanta which I read on

5:53 the sign they actually burned Atlanta

5:55 down which was near the end of the movie

5:57 correct um the middle middle of theie

5:59 movie but in reality it was the first

6:01 thing they shot the first thing they

6:03 shot and why did they do that exactly

6:04 they did that to get rid of the old sets

6:07 the old sets that were created for Cecil

6:10 B de Mill's 1932 movie was it King Kong

6:13 King Kong they destroyed the sets and

6:16 through movie Magic they actually

6:17 inserted that later in the movie and by

6:20 doing that they destroyed all the sets

6:22 and then they rebuilt new sets for the

6:24 Gone With the Wind sets genius absolute

6:29 genius the guy's a genius all right

6:32 there's no cars coming there is a car

6:33 coming this way let's get out of the

6:35 road you can see they're actually

6:36 filming some stuff out here Night Moves

6:39 Transportation all kind of filming Crews

6:41 these are actually independent Studios

6:43 now in this little area but Culver

6:46 City's back lot was here and straight

6:48 ahead are the Culver City Studios that

6:51 still exist sadly there is no back lot

6:54 here there so many back Lots movie

6:56 history in the LA area Hollywood how

6:59 close is Culver City to Hollywood

7:02 exactly and

7:03 La about what 10 15 minutes very close

7:07 10 or 15 minutes as the crow flies or as

7:11 a vehicle drives see that vehicle got

7:14 pretty close to you you didn't freak out

7:15 that time I didn't you actually you held

7:17 your composure I feel safe cuz now

7:19 you're you're channeling terara yes

7:22 right now she was a strong person and

7:25 now your strength is being enhanced all

7:28 right tell me something else and we're

7:29 this is about the spot where the train

7:31 station was the train from the wind

7:33 that's right so it would have been

7:34 straight across this way that way yeah

7:37 so remember the train station from Gone

7:39 With the Wind you're standing in front

7:41 of it vicariously right now as it

7:44 crossed our path that's pretty amazing

7:47 to think that's a train station you're

7:49 still looking for a car or are you

7:52 looking for a train are you more afraid

7:53 of vehicles in the form of cars or

7:55 vehicles I like it it's special all

7:57 right awesome

8:00 you're enjoying thiso you're enjoying

8:02 I'm enjoying this too this is actually

8:05 pretty awesome I'm actually motivated to

8:06 actually either download or watch Gone

8:09 With the Wind again it's been a few

8:10 years since I've seen it it's a majestic

8:13 film an award-winning film a legendary

8:16 film and do you know the very first

8:19 movie ever to have quote unquote

8:21 profanity used in it was Gone with the

8:25 Wind correct do you know what the line

8:27 is I'm not going to say it and you're

8:29 not going say it even though I know you

8:31 want to you want to scream it from the

8:33 heavens because you're here on the

8:35 property but if you know what that line

8:37 was leave a comment down below wa

8:40 there's some excitement going on over

8:42 here too much excitement there's some

8:44 music playing and some excitement some

8:46 cheerleading and these people have no

8:49 idea of the real excitement that's

8:51 abounding with Donald and me right now

8:54 what happened right here used to be here

8:55 used to be right here this spot was that

8:59 that

9:00 was Terra that look at that so that was

9:04 right behind us Terra tera's compound if

9:08 you will her home was right there her

9:11 home that she went home and slept well

9:14 was right there so you're telling me

9:19 you're telling me that this was right

9:22 there that is awesome now there's some

9:25 kind of a

9:26 cheerleader practice happening right

9:29 here it was caddy corner I'll give you

9:30 your DVD back thank you Blu-ray it's

9:32 actually a Blu-ray see that is how

9:34 inconsistent I am with technology please

9:39 know it doesn't look like Tera but uh

9:40 that's true it does not so caddy corner

9:43 it went like this correct and it all

9:46 happened right in here what else

9:48 happened right in here terara did

9:50 something right in here in the sand and

9:51 the dirt oh my goodness yes what exactly

9:54 happened when Scarlet decides to become

9:57 her own person and to have some respect

10:00 for herself she steps out to the ground

10:02 grabs a handful of dirt and says as God

10:05 is my witness they're not going to lick

10:06 me now actually that didn't happen here

10:08 that happened in Calabasas I haven't

10:10 been there yet however movie magic makes

10:12 you think it actually happened in front

10:14 of here they intercut the different

10:16 scenes it's all part of the scene but it

10:18 all vicariously Works in to Gone With

10:21 the Wind which was filmed right here

10:23 it's a Culver City Studios back lot as

10:26 well as Andy Griffith Show Gomer p

10:30 Hogan's Heroes Batman Batman it's

10:34 amazing Star Trek episodes there's a lot

10:36 of research just go online go on Google

10:40 and you can find some images and you can

10:42 find some other videos people have done

10:43 there's actually another video of a guy

10:45 that did a up top on top of the hill he

10:47 did an aerial shot and he actually

10:48 showed you where each thing from Andy

10:51 Griffith was filmed so what's over this

10:53 way what do you think is that way this

10:56 is where the actual Studios still are no

10:59 back lot back lless Studio goodness get

11:03 out of the road a lot of cars coming

11:05 through here see originally there was a

11:07 lot of cars Barney F and Andy Griffith

11:10 cruising along in their police cars but

11:11 now there are no police out here just

11:13 some security a couple Security Guys

11:15 earlier when we were walking around

11:17 we're looking at us and they let us pass

11:19 they did you shall not pass and what

11:22 they mean by you is not us because we

11:24 have passed through into the nether

11:27 regions of television and movie goodness

11:30 here's a security post right here I

11:32 wonder if we can get in here okay I

11:34 don't think we can go this way I don't

11:36 know if we can go this way this might be

11:39 the end of the Vlog however because we

11:42 cannot get up here oh that way ah this

11:45 way so Culver City Studio still exists

11:48 correct yes it's very beautiful too but

11:50 the back lot this right here take a look

11:53 one last look here at the back lot which

11:56 no longer exists how many tears

11:59 have you shed not talking about now I'm

12:02 talking in the past you're cheering or

12:05 I'm sorry they're cheering I'm confused

12:08 they're jump roping I wonder if Tara

12:13 and gone they're not dancing they're

12:16 jump roping look at

12:46 street all right employee parking this

12:49 let like

12:58 guest okay that was awkward that was a

12:58 little that was a little strange and

13:00 awkward look at these trees these trees

13:03 are super old school I wonder if these

13:05 were here when anything was filmed

13:07 possibly wonder if these trees were used

13:08 in any television episodes or

13:12 movies all right so the Culver City

13:14 Studios which still exists backlight is

13:17 gone backlight is history but the

13:20 studios still exists and from what he's
