TDW 1257 - Over The Top : Sylvester Stallone Filming Location

0:03 you're a goodlooking tree don't let

0:03 anyone ever tell you different oh

0:05 welcome everyone Adam the woo here

0:07 coming to you from Claremont California

0:10 and a kind of a foggy morning as I was

0:12 driving up here for this Vlog a little

0:14 bit of mist and some a little bit of

0:17 rain actually exuding from the heavens

0:19 down to the Earth which is actually good

0:21 because it has actually hydrated a oh a

0:24 bee just flew by me again another bee

0:26 just flew by look at these bees out here

0:28 I am I got to stop smelling these

0:30 flowers cuz there's always bees every

0:33 time I go down and try to smell the

0:36 beauty of the fresh freshly fogged

0:40 that's that's a good question does fog

0:42 actually hydrate plants if it doesn't

0:44 rain if it's just foggy does fog

0:47 actually hydrate the soil H I am not a

0:51 botanist or a do I have a green thumb at

0:53 all in fact I have a question for you

0:57 are those patunas

1:00 Claremont California is where I am right

1:01 now I'm actually at a college that is on

1:04 the corner the entryway to the college

1:06 actually starts right here on the corner

1:08 of 6th Street and College Avenue and

1:14 some might say that this Vlog is going

1:16 to be a

1:18 little if you've read the title prepare

1:20 yourself for a very bad joke this Vlog

1:23 is a little bit over the top it's my

1:29 second channel daily Vlog channel it's

1:30 the daily woo let's take you back now to

1:34 1987 Sylvester SLO was one of the

1:36 biggest stars in the world and a

1:39 personal favorite actor of mine of

1:42 course you know him from the rocky

1:43 series perhaps the Rambo series as well

1:46 but he did a lot of other movies that I

1:48 actually hold as a guilty pleasure in my

1:51 heart and one of those just appeared on

1:54 Netflix at the filming of this Vlog you

1:57 can actually go on Netflix and watch

1:59 over the top which is an arm wrestling

2:02 movie starring Robert Loa Sylvester

2:05 Stallone and a plethora of other actual

2:08 professional arm wrestlers and

2:11 professional wrestlers who actually rear

2:13 their heads in the movie and you can

2:15 actually watch that now on Netflix if

2:18 you have a Netflix account which is very

2:20 exciting and I watched it the other

2:21 night for no joke probably the 200 100

2:24 time in my life it hearkens me back to a

2:27 younger Adam the woo an excit did Adam

2:30 the woo Who was a fan for 80s movies and

2:34 still am a fan of 80s movies and then I

2:38 started to do some research after I

2:39 watched over the top for the 200th time

2:42 and I always wondered where some of

2:45 those scenes were filmed and they are

2:46 actually filmed the movie is filmed over

2:48 a lot of different states ending and

2:51 culminating with the grand finale loss

2:54 Vegas is actually where they had the arm

2:57 wrestling championship but the movie

3:00 starts the movie begins when Sylvester

3:03 Stallone goes back and actually picks up

3:06 his son which he has not seen in years

3:09 and years due to divorce and other

3:13 reasons that were never explained in the

3:14 movie sessor Stallone actually drives

3:18 down this road turns into this college

3:21 which actually played the part of a

3:23 military school in the movie and

3:26 actually picked up Michael himself his

3:28 son right through those Gates

3:41 Shong The Majestic entryway to Pomona

3:41 College look at that there are two there

3:44 are two pillars on either side of the

3:48 road right here on the corner of this

3:49 road now if you actually go on Netflix

3:51 or if you own the DVD or you own the

3:53 Blu-ray which I do not own hopefully I

3:56 will actually have that in my possession

3:57 at some point in my life but you can

3:59 actually go and watch the scene and you

4:02 can actually see Sylvester Salone

4:04 pulling his big rig truck right here and

4:07 pulling down that way to the graduation

4:10 ceremony to pick up Michael now they

4:13 actually built a guard shack smack dab

4:16 in the middle of the road right there

4:18 and they actually put the name of the

4:19 military academy the fake Military

4:22 Academy name over the Pomona College now

4:24 we will actually get a closer look but I

4:26 wanted you should just soak this angle

4:29 in this exact shot is used after he

4:33 picks up his son and he's driving his

4:35 truck out he turns his truck and drives

4:39 straight down that way so get a very

4:41 good view or maybe a screenshot of that

4:44 right there before we actually roam into

4:47 the stomping grounds of a 1987 esque

4:51 Sylvester Stallone is that Sylvester

4:53 Stallone right there is that

4:55 Salon no actually that was a girl that

4:58 was not Salon unless maybe it's

5:00 a female salom did sylvest Shalom

5:03 actually now that I think about it

5:04 sylvestra Shalon does have three

5:06 daughters I believe unfortunately

5:08 Sylvester Salon Sage actually passed

5:10 away I do not know if a lot of people

5:12 know this but Sage Salon Sylvester

5:15 Stallone's son actually was in Rocky 5

5:18 with him he played his son in Rocky 5

5:21 and unfortunately at a young age his son

5:24 actually passed away so that's actually

5:26 very sad but he does have a few

5:28 daughters maybe that was

5:30 salon's daughter so here we go Pomona

5:33 College and you can see like I was

5:35 saying a minute ago they actually put

5:37 the

5:38 sign over the top now

5:42 here see what I did there over the top

5:45 they put the sign over the top of the

5:47 Pomona College actual sign now here is a

5:50 a question for you I want you to do some

5:51 Columbo likee research find out what was

5:55 the name of the military academy it is

5:58 it is slipping my mind I am having a

6:00 brain you know what they say when you

6:02 have a brain you know what I am having

6:04 one of those right now and I cannot

6:05 remember the name of the military school

6:07 it's only mentioned maybe one time or

6:09 maybe only mentioned in the screenshot

6:12 when Stallone drives in and out of here

6:15 but right there was the guard shack

6:17 there was a little guard shack they

6:19 built right there the guard that was

6:21 standing there when Stallone pulled up

6:23 he pulls in the guard's like deliveries

6:25 in the rear deliveries in the rear he's

6:27 like no no no I'm here to pick up no no

6:29 no I'm here to pick up I'm here to pick

6:30 up Michael over there and he pulled

6:33 straight in here drove this way and

6:36 parked his truck down this road so we're

6:39 going to take a little bit of a walk

6:41 straight towards where the ceremony was

6:45 the graduation ceremony where all the

6:47 graduates all the kid graduates which

6:50 makes me interesting too makes me think

6:52 too what age bracket was Michael he was

6:55 young he was probably 12 13 maybe 14 15

7:00 in that age range so he wasn't

7:02 graduating a military school for adults

7:05 so I guess it was a children's military

7:07 school which I am not familiar with

7:09 military schools are there different

7:11 branches of military schools for

7:13 different age brackets that is something

7:16 I am not a self-proclaimed offici anado

7:19 on that so if you know more about that

7:20 than I do feel free to leave comments

7:22 down below so let's focus now on where

7:25 Sylvester Stallone was driving his truck

7:28 right up here down this road down

7:31 College Avenue and there's actually a

7:34 shot in the movie all of these scenes

7:36 that you are actually seeing in this

7:38 Vlog are in the first probably 10 to 15

7:40 minutes of the movie so go on Netflix

7:43 watch it then go back and watch this

7:45 Vlog and match some of the shots up it's

7:47 pretty cool there's a shot right here

7:50 when you actually see the truck driven

7:53 by sester Salon drive straight for us

7:56 and park right over in here either here

7:58 or right over in here is where he

8:01 actually parked his truck and he got out

8:04 of his truck and actually went into this

8:07 building right here look at this this

8:10 building right

8:13 there so basically he got out of the

8:15 truck which would have been right here

8:18 walked across where these Hedges

8:20 probably were not here and actually

8:21 walked up into this building up those

8:26 stairs and into that building right

8:29 there

8:31 and this is actually Carnegie

8:33 Hall here at Pomona College in Claremont

8:39 California Carnegie

8:41 Hall look at this presented by Andrew

8:50 Carnegie and all of this actually looks

8:50 the same actually those the lights that

8:52 are there the stairs all that pretty

8:55 much identical to how it was in

8:58 1987 a lot of things have changed though

9:00 there was a lot more growth here there

9:01 was a lot more Hedges and flowers maybe

9:04 even some patunas that were in this

9:06 little area so this was a lot more grown

9:09 up but the sidewalk itself the way the

9:12 sidewalk angles that way and goes

9:14 straight all that is exactly the same as

9:17 well as the exact spot the exact spot

9:21 right here where Stallone himself walked

9:26 right up this you can see that in the

9:28 shot you can see see that in the shot as

9:31 well and the windows still look exactly

9:33 the same with those little

9:34 Sunburst type Windows right there very

9:39 very cool now I do not know if anyone

9:41 else is going to find the enjoyment in

9:43 this like I am I am a huge 80s nerd I am

9:47 a fan of 80s movies and I love Stallone

9:51 of course Rocky and Rambo and

9:54 Cliffhanger and all the other movies

9:57 that of course over the top ranks up

9:59 there with my favorite Stallone movie

10:01 little bit cheesy little bit awesome

10:04 actually little bit cheesy a lot awesome

10:07 if you've never seen it I highly

10:08 encourage you to do so it is a great

10:10 movie just like most of salon's movies

10:13 are pretty epic so get one last look at

10:15 this Carnegie Hall used in the movie and

10:18 now we're going to cross the street and

10:20 I'm going to show you where the actual

10:22 graduation ceremony of Michael was it

10:25 was actually in this this open grassy

10:29 area right here right here is where all

10:33 of the military

10:35 students were standing and

10:38 marching basically the opening Montage

10:41 with Stallone is washing his truck he's

10:44 driving his truck that opening song is

10:49 playing as Salone is driving through the

10:51 mountains pulling into civilization out

10:53 from the desert and drives to pick up

10:56 his son and then it transfers over into

10:59 here here and you see the military kids

11:02 marching with their flags and their

11:06 musical instruments and they marching

11:08 all right through here and right over

11:10 here is where the stage was set up where

11:14 they made the announcements that the

11:16 kids had actually graduated from that

11:19 stage of military school and that

11:22 actually happened right here so

11:24 basically the stage was right here there

11:26 was a bunch of actors and actresses

11:30 right in here and they were all standing

11:32 right here and they threw their hats in

11:34 the air and they said dismissed company

11:38 dismissed and he took his hat off threw

11:40 the Hat up in the air that actually

11:42 happened exactly where we are standing

11:44 right here with this building Carnegie

11:46 Hall off in the

11:53 background do like a little bit of a

11:53 moment of quietness here and just show

11:55 you the

11:56 Ambiance of Claremont California's own

12:00 Pomona

12:27 College I'm really liking that tree over

12:27 there there's some really cool cool

12:29 looking fantastic looking trees and this

12:32 building is very awesome looking as well

12:34 so remember what I said there was a

12:36 stage right here there's actually one

12:38 shot where it's like a crane shot you

12:40 can see the crane way up in the air from

12:42 this angle you can see the building off

12:45 in the background so very cool a little

12:48 1980s trivia movie location the

12:52 Sylvester Salone over the top nerding me

12:55 is geeking out fanboying out right now

12:58 because this is one of those weird

12:59 locations that normally people do not

13:02 get excited about they are not I want to

13:04 go find the filming locations of over

13:07 the top but something I wanted to do I

13:09 watched the movie again for the

13:11 hundredth time the other night and I

13:13 thought heck it let me drive up to

13:16 Claremont California and find the

13:18 opening scenes from Over the Top I love

13:21 that movie if you have not seen it

13:22 please watch it it's a classic bull

13:25 Hurley the ultimate adversary who is

13:28 infatuate Ed if you know bull Hurley in

13:31 the movie and you know the movie you

13:32 will know where I'm coming from he is

13:34 infatuated with the word that starts

13:35 with the letter S the profane word s

13:38 which means basically dung so he uses

13:42 that word you ain't s or I'm going to

13:45 break your essing arm you don't belong

13:48 on my essing table he uses that all the

13:52 time you're in a world of hurt little

13:54 man and he grabbed one I remember when

13:56 Lincoln Hawk which is sester Stallone's

13:58 character they get on the table they

14:00 latch their arms together and then bull

14:03 Hurley takes his hand and pushes salon's

14:06 hand towards his nose and smooshes his

14:08 nose and Blood starts coming out his

14:10 nose and then bull Hurley says nose hurt

14:13 Hawks which is interesting too because

14:15 in the movie Lincoln Hawk which is

14:18 sylvestra Stallone's character is

14:20 actually called Lincoln Hawk and he's

14:22 also referred to as Lincoln Hawks so

14:26 there's a little bit of continuity error

14:27 in the movie I guess they did not think

14:30 the script through enough to actually

14:31 give him a real name Lincoln hawk or

14:34 Lincoln Hawks which maybe Lincoln Hawks

14:37 is the plural of Lincoln Hawk maybe he

14:39 when he turns that hat around and it's a

14:41 switch when when I turn the hat around

14:44 it's like a switch maybe that's when he

14:46 turns into Lincoln Hawks which is the

14:48 plural and he has the strength of more

14:50 than one man he is the

14:52 pluralized version of Lincoln Hawk and

14:55 of course Robert Loa played the

14:58 grandfather who was basically the guy

15:01 who was trying to take away the Sun from

15:04 Sylvester Stallone's character it's kind

15:06 of a weird movie there are parts of it

15:08 that don't really make a lot of sense

15:10 but when it comes to my

15:11 childhood top I going to say Top Gun Not

15:14 Top Gun over the top Over the Top Gun

15:17 that would be an interesting movie

15:18 imagine if Tom Cruz showed up and was

15:21 wrestling bull hurly I think Tom Cruz

15:24 would not hold a candle so to Sylvester

15:27 Stallone's arm wrestling skills all

15:29 right I'm losing my mind I'm getting

15:31 very very excited I'm getting very

15:33 flustered I want to walk around and

15:34 actually analyze things with my own two

15:37 eyes just like Darth Vader wanted to

15:40 look at Luke Skywalker I'm now going to

15:42 stop the Vlog I'm going to wander around

15:44 and look at all the little details maybe

15:46 post some pictures on Instagram and

15:49 whatnot thanks for watching this Vlog oh

15:51 yeah by the way Robert Loa was in the

15:53 movie playing the grandfather and

15:55 unfortunately Robert Loa has actually

15:57 passed on the class I intense actor

16:01 Robert Loa which you may know from

16:03 Scarface of course in Scarface and also

16:06 played in big as well as hundred other

16:10 movies was also in over the top so if

16:12 you're not seeing the movie and let's

16:14 say you don't like Stallone maybe you

16:16 like Robert Loa he does a great job in

16:18 the movie and it all started right in

16:21 here imagine that Robert loia was

16:24 wandering around these grounds Sylvester

16:27 Stallone was wandering around these

16:30 grounds thanks for watching these Vlogs
