TDW 1594 - The Breakfast Club Fist Pump Location

0:08 morning look at that sunrise and if you

0:08 look really carefully you can

0:11 see downtown Chicago off on the

0:17 distance just peeking up there over

0:20 those buildings welcome everyone Adam

0:22 the woo here driving up to the north

0:26 side of Chicago to the suburbs just

0:29 above the city

0:30 the stomping grounds of for my

0:33 generation probably one of the greatest

0:37 directors ever if you are an 80s kid or

0:41 a fan of movies from that generation

0:44 then you will know the name John Hughes

0:48 today's Vlog is going to be dedicated to

0:52 him it's my second channel daily Vlog

0:55 channel it's the daily

0:58 woo

1:01 is that a

1:03 999 or a

1:06 666 I'm just going to keep on walking

1:08 I'm just going to keep on walking of

1:09 course the leaves are changing it almost

1:12 looks like something you would see in a

1:14 movie that he directed or wrote and

1:17 right here on the left is the home he

1:20 lived in and it's where he lived up

1:23 until he passed away at the young age of

1:25 59 of course someone else who lives here

1:28 now but this is the stomping

1:32 grounds of the one and only John

1:42 Hughes it's located on the corner of

1:42 Westminster and Woodbine this is a town

1:45 called Lake

1:46 Forest it's pretty beautiful and just

1:49 down the road from his

1:51 house is where he's

1:54 buried right through here if you ever

1:56 decide to come out here to pay your

1:57 respects and you are looking for the

1:59 location

2:00 of the Grave just keep an eye out for

2:03 this deer and just to the

2:06 right is his final resting place and the

2:09 plot just to the left is where John's

2:13 wife will be laid to

2:36 this is Kenny or Ken or is it Kenneth I

2:36 call you Ken what what do you prefer to

2:38 be called uh whatever Ken hi Ken Ken hi

2:42 Ken last name hi and right at the edge

2:45 of the

2:46 community is Lake

2:48 Michigan and the sheer vastness and size

2:51 of this is insane it looks like it

2:55 should be in the ocean category because

2:58 for miles and miles Miles and Miles all

3:00 you see is water it's very calm today

3:04 but sometimes they actually get like a

3:06 little bit of a little waves and a

3:08 little surf out on this when the wind is

3:12 blowing pretty beautiful you could

3:15 almost say it borders on Majestic so

3:19 what happens when it gets really windy

3:21 like what what happens to the water it

3:24 actually goes completely gray kind of

3:26 like I'm turning gray here like my

3:27 hair's turning gray or does it get

3:28 gloomy so it's like one of those lizards

3:31 that constantly is changing colors if

3:32 you say so yeah what do they call those

3:34 lizards chameleon a chameleon okay kind

3:36 of like uh comma comma comma comma Comma

3:38 Chameleon exactly like that we're now

3:41 heading about 10 or 15 miles south to a

3:44 little area called Des

3:46 planes wonder if tattoos's ever been

3:48 there you remember that guy God yes the

3:52 planes there planes that's right

3:55 Illinois that's right come on here come

3:58 on come on it's the plane we have

4:00 arrived at the fictional Shermer High

4:03 School in Shermer

4:06 Illinois from The Breakfast Club a lot

4:10 of famous scenes right in this area

4:11 where the kids got dropped off this is

4:15 where AO esz kissed the girl they walked

4:18 up these stairs like Ali sheety or

4:21 something yeah it was Ali sheety he

4:23 cussed mhm walked right up those

4:26 stairs is that Alie Shey I visited here

4:30 about 4 years ago and I did an unedited

4:33 Vlog in front it's a police station now

4:35 they don't really like you hanging

4:36 around out front in fact it even says no

4:40 loitering right there on that bus stop

4:43 there is one thing I want to check out

4:45 here and it's around the back side of

4:47 the building at the very end of the

4:49 movie the famous fist pump scene where

4:52 Bender is walking across the football

4:55 field it was on property here it has

4:57 been a subject of a very heated debate

5:00 on the internet for a very long time

5:04 most people assume it's at a school a

5:06 few miles from here because there is a

5:08 similar field and similar bleachers but

5:11 if you look at old aerial maps from the

5:13 late 80s there used to be a football

5:15 field here this used to be called Main

5:18 North High School they built it by the

5:20 time it was finished they didn't need it

5:21 anymore and now it's the police station

5:23 now they need a police station check

5:25 this thing out Mobile Police Station

5:28 Adam the woo

5:36 Adam the Woo's Wild Kingdom look at all

5:36 these and I have parked

5:38 here right next to this empty Barren

5:41 stretch of land basically since the

5:44 early '90s nothing has existed on the

5:47 property just

5:49 outside the now police station but when

5:51 the movie was made this is where the

5:53 track was and the football field and you

5:56 can see the edge of that building in the

5:59 shot where he's walking towards the

6:02 camera right past the goalpost now this

6:05 takes a lot of imagination and a lot of

6:08 Columbo like research skills but picture

6:12 if you will the football

6:16 field right at this angle here because

6:20 if you look at the screenshot when he's

6:22 walking across the field you can see

6:27 this building here and you can also see

6:30 behind him in the far left corner is

6:33 this building and how this building is

6:37 shorter than this building and you can

6:39 also notice these

6:41 doors right here so basically where my

6:44 finger is across this way was where the

6:49 bleachers were this is the exact angle

6:54 the goalpost would have been right in

6:56 here and he would have meander

7:00 directly towards where we're standing

7:03 right now and it has been three decades

7:05 but wouldn't it be amazing if

7:08 somewhere in this area was the remnants

7:12 of the pole maybe like a concrete hole

7:16 or something that would be incredible

7:18 cuz this right here where I'm walking is

7:22 the spot the mystery of the location has

7:24 been solved n n n n n n n na na n n n n

7:31 n n we're now in a little town by the

7:33 name of Highland

7:36 Park couple spots I want to check out

7:38 here there's not many of the locations

7:40 left from the movie Weird

7:42 Science but the ones that do remain are

7:45 on this road if you're familiar with the

7:47 film at the end of it Anthony Michael

7:49 Hall brings Deb home and kisses her in

7:53 the driveway in the sports

7:56 car pretty much looks the same as it did

7:59 in the this is Gary's house in the movie

8:02 I believe it was painted white and they

8:04 have put like gray shingles on it now

8:07 Wyatt's house where the party was looks

8:09 completely different they bulldozed the

8:12 house built a new one sadly we can't see

8:16 that one and if memory serves me correct

8:18 I think right here against this wall a

8:23 police car was waiting during the chase

8:25 scene would have been waiting right

8:27 there yeah that's definitely

8:30 that's definitely it it's time to get a

8:32 little food from The Mean

8:36 Wiener for real look at that look at

8:40 that guy he definitely fits the

8:43 description of The Mean Wiener Man you

8:45 do not want to mess with him and here is

8:48 the finished product

8:50 that's it's on French

8:52 bread and that looks like a would you

8:55 call that a a a legit Mean Wiener it's

8:58 got a little bit of everything

8:59 everything on there it's got a little

9:01 pickles it's got those little like green

9:03 beam things oh man got to love a Chicago

9:15 dog one of my favorite movies of his was

9:15 16 candles and the ending scene was shot

9:19 right here at this church where Molly

9:22 Ringwald walks out of those doors and

9:25 sees Jake Ryan who is parked over there

9:49 I'm now in

9:49 Evon Illinois some nice houses in

9:53 this neighborhood that's for sure but

9:57 the one I really want to check out

9:59 is this

10:01 one which was in 16

10:09 Candles looks pretty much the same and

10:09 that's where long duck dong was passed

10:12 out in the yard looks like the big tree

10:16 has been removed and they planted a

10:18 smaller tree which is now grown

10:20 considerably you could pretty much take

10:22 any of these

10:24 homes and throw them directly into any

10:27 80s movie

10:37 this neighborhood is

10:37 amazing look at that one it's incredible

10:41 there is an insane amount of birds

10:45 flocking over there Hitchcock would

10:49 be

11:00 proud

11:03 Vlog

11:05 over
