favorite movies out there for sure
0:32
providing you to join me and Cody shall
0:35
you things will be a bit out of order
0:38
based on the route we are taking but
0:40
this empty lot was one of the climaxes
0:43
of the movie the side road is only 18
0:47
miles per hour
0:48
that's different the desert sands in in
0:52
El Paso was technically here in
0:55
Albuquerque and the light fixtures next
0:58
to the street are a little bit different
1:00
you can kind of get your bearings take a
1:03
look at that style with the little knobs
1:06
up there and the formation of the light
1:09
itself just a half a block over a couple
1:12
of these still remain to just kind of
1:14
prove that they used to be here
1:29
everything is going and missed there as
1:29
he pulls up this is the angle
1:34
corner of Jackson Street and Central
1:36
Avenue the building in the distance
1:39
still remains at the Foley ng Viet Minh
1:43
eats grill and also where it says the
1:45
reef noodle soup if you look right here
1:46
at the same time they just changed the
1:50
lettering on the top part a couple of
1:52
landmarks where the sheriff pulls that
1:54
in parks back here in the distance it's
1:58
very unique looking the restaurant and
1:59
the trees where the motel sign was the
2:02
way they they kind of fork up at a
2:05
different angle that restaurant still
2:10
back there in the distance and those
2:13
trees even though some of them have been
2:15
chopped down the roots and stump still
2:18
remain this here is the tree that was in
2:21
the front and the planner this piece is
2:24
growing up a little bit right here at
2:25
the bottom they chopped it off with a
2:28
stop sign and this is the only remaining
2:31
piece left here in time
2:38
the entire complex is gone this is where
2:38
the motel office was and the pool over
2:42
here is where the Carl's jr. used to be
2:44
the building's still there but now it's
2:46
left abandoned you can see the taller
2:48
building in the background as well over
2:50
this shorter is where all the other
2:52
rooms were and what you has now been
2:55
demolished
3:18
from the building in the room we've been
3:18
right here
3:25
in that precise spot
3:25
Carla Jane pulled up
3:31
realizing something was wrong when the
3:31
sheriff approached her and took his hat
3:33
off
3:33
she saw the other officers and knew what
3:36
had happened retracing the steps from
3:39
the sheriff driving down
4:32
little on the windy side pretty much out
4:32
in the middle of nowhere that Texaco
4:35
side is gone but the base still remains
4:41
the gas pumps are still over there and
4:44
the little store still out here way out
4:48
here
5:03
next to the gas pumps the car would have
5:03
been parked right here in the front and
5:07
then off to the right hand side is where
5:10
it looks like the fuel can't containers
5:12
for the same ones still sitting there
5:14
Art's Auto Supply still written there as
5:20
well
5:26
the door behind Anton
5:26
that's swung open is this very door it
5:30
has kind of deteriorated over the years
5:32
but also when you peek inside the
5:35
building through the window
5:36
a lot of the cork board is still up
5:39
around the walls lots of furniture fills
5:41
up the room that back window is covered
5:44
just like a set of drawers back there
5:48
this is about the best view angle
5:52
looking to where the guy who owned the
5:54
shop was standing on that tractor still
5:56
back there
5:57
obviously can't get inside because it's
6:00
locked but looking out from where they
6:04
were in there there's that tractor
6:08
hasn't moved in years behind the counter
6:13
would have been right about here where
6:15
that ice chest of some sort is now
6:19
what's the most you've ever lost a coin
6:24
toss
7:13
about a half-hour commute to Las Vegas
7:13
New Mexico for the remainder take place
7:17
a trailer park where he lived and pulled
7:20
into he's right here
7:24
at that particular trailer no longer
7:27
exists everything else basically looks
7:30
the same private residence so I keep my
7:33
distance but I want to stop off real
7:35
quick from the trailer park
7:55
he's checking in and the counter would
7:55
have been the hair looking out that
7:56
window when he wanted to switch rooms
7:58
she said that's got to double beds also
8:03
when he kind of meanders through this
8:05
door right there the light switches and
8:07
everything still the same but he wasn't
8:12
the only one staying on the premises
8:20
also Anton
8:20
Victor room number 130 is where his
8:25
accommodations would have been the rooms
8:28
have been completely remodeled but just
8:29
imagine him walking out with his weapons
8:33
of choice down the way there you can see
8:36
a grill that's 138 that's the other room
8:40
all the brickwork is all still the same
8:42
where his room was and if you get a
8:46
little closer it appears somebody is
8:50
actually taking the numbers off the door
8:51
too
8:51
but this is room 138 they got a little
8:54
souvenir yep
8:56
they've replaced it with makeshift
8:58
numbers it's like made out of paper
9:01
about to use that tank to punch out the
9:03
lock thankfully Llewelyn had already
9:07
moved and anti would have been standing
9:10
right where that grill is use that as a
9:11
frame of reference there down the ways
9:13
just to bet a few feet into the back
9:15
rooms which you can see here 30 and 42
9:19
would have been the back rooms but they
9:21
don't exist also this big brown pillar
9:24
and learn in the way right here has been
9:26
added recently after like structural
9:28
support yeah it's all right next to the
9:30
office just to clarify around the back
9:34
just some storage
9:38
no rooms around the back so he wouldn't
9:40
been able to to camp out and get the
9:42
briefcase through the air duct vent sign
9:46
has just changed just a bit Motel a
9:48
screenshot and it's an in in real life
9:56
moving on
9:56
only about a half a mile away what is
9:59
now the shark bite seafood restaurant
10:01
here at this motel is where head Tom and
10:05
Carla Jean shared their meal and I
10:09
pointed that sign out because you could
10:11
see it through the window this is where
10:15
they're sitting inside the diner if you
10:17
pay attention to the rockwork behind him
10:19
and the counter on those other side
10:22
there it's all the same unfortunately
10:24
it's temporarily closed but if you look
10:27
in there at counter the rock works all
10:29
still the same and they would have been
10:31
sitting just right there to the right
10:33
hand side of that table it kind of to
10:35
the left of that hold yeah more or less
10:37
give or take so it looks like into a
10:40
local neighborhood Carla jeans residents
10:44
didn't end so well as he exited he don't
10:49
really know what happened they leave it
10:51
to the imagination but he did look at
10:52
his shoes I was likely wiping something
10:56
from the bottom of them as he exited the
10:59
front door on the porch
11:00
there's some classic cars in this
11:02
driveway as well still in a residential
11:06
district this one about a mile away from
11:09
the last spot a traffic light was placed
11:12
dangling right across here and the cars
11:16
smashed into each other there was the
11:20
formation of the roofline of that home
11:24
located right over here at this
11:26
intersection quite an accident he comes
11:30
stumbling out of the car here walks
11:33
right over to this curb in front of that
11:36
house reeling in pain massive amounts of
11:40
pain and where did he sit it's just the
11:42
left side of the yellow painted part of
11:44
the curb so where the yellow paint ends
11:46
sat down just there on the unpainted
11:49
part of the curb the fence is exactly
11:52
the same as it was Anton
11:55
then comes sits down on the curb just
11:59
right here right in between the yellow
12:01
there's two cracks
12:28
and that wasn't the only time he was
12:28
seriously injured earlier in the picture
12:31
he showed up to the mic sauce pharmacy
12:35
which is located right there in between
12:38
those two vehicles that blue car didn't
12:40
stand a chance there he is around the
12:42
back sticking a rag and his lighter into
12:45
the gas tank it's now an office products
12:49
and printing facility some track
12:55
lighting they are up against the back
12:56
wall as well and that pole to the left
12:58
of his head yep all still full except
13:01
for if like some paper boxes and office
13:04
chairs still the same this is a real
13:06
estate office but it was used as one of
13:08
the interiors where edie table looks out
13:11
the far right door across the road a
13:13
truck pulling by and the tarp we're
13:15
starting to flip up just a bit on the
13:18
right side there you can see that white
13:19
pole that's still the same and also in
13:23
the background you can see a blue awning
13:24
if you look closely coming up here they
13:28
painted them that awning red by that
13:31
white pole still there if you peep
13:34
through the blinds here you can see it
13:35
says they held Fidel Hotel that is right
13:38
here above us
13:42
that was the clue in order to figure out
13:44
the spot across the way a telephone call
13:48
was made a payphone was set up the side
13:51
of this road see the bricks there with
13:54
the advertisement up against the wall
13:58
off in the distance so how does that
14:01
same advert up there that's the right
14:05
word advert adverts right now the
14:08
exterior of this facade were never used
14:10
but the interiors were however for him
14:12
to get some clothes and boots still
14:16
looks the same almost identical down to
14:18
you know all the products that were on
14:21
sale and there's a sign up towards the
14:24
top of the Hatrack designated that it
14:27
was in the film itself and they let them
14:30
leave up the name of their store above
14:32
the door as seen here as he walks in you
14:36
know I asked him to buy new clothes he
14:37
needed a whole new wardrobe after
14:39
leaving the hospital they were nice
14:41
enough to let us in the back room where
14:44
the restaurant is and right here is
14:47
where he was spraying some some medicine
14:51
on his foot sitting on that commode even
14:54
a little toilet paper roll and the door
14:57
see there's one door here and the other
15:00
door right over there
15:04
Llewelyn eventually checks into his
15:06
accommodations at Eagle Pass
15:08
in reality it's the Plaza Hotel also the
15:16
same one that Carson Wells was staying
15:17
at played by Woody Harrelson
15:26
the front desks used to sit right about
15:26
where this couch is you can see what it
15:29
looked like in the film itself as he
15:30
enters the front door the front desk now
15:33
resides back in the corner called the
15:35
conservatory looks a whole heck of a lot
15:38
different at best educated guesses it
15:41
was under a complete remodel made it
15:43
appear as if he went outside to the
15:45
alley but in reality it was this back
15:47
little alcove as he kind of peeks around
15:52
the staircase looking up that's it and
15:54
they've documented another scene here
15:56
with Woody Harrelson as well in the wall
15:59
in this frame also notice the fire alarm
16:01
is still mounted on the wall there as he
16:03
came through these doors a little later
16:05
getting the precise spot of where he
16:07
fell down to the concrete is tough
16:08
because of these trucks that are parked
16:10
up here but the window was right up
16:13
there and notice the tree lines and the
16:18
gazebo in the park which are behind him
16:23
not a short fall looking out the general
16:27
vicinity angle from his window into the
16:34
park
17:00
well let's go you're wrong
17:00
now that nightfall has reared its head
17:04
and the Sun has gone down we're gonna
17:06
get some of the evening shots
17:08
this was a toughy took us a while to
17:10
figure it out the back of that alley was
17:13
a a wall as you could see there and
17:19
there are some bars on the side of the
17:22
side of the brick which are still
17:24
remaining what confused us was this
17:28
certain section where he's standing
17:30
against two different partitions he
17:33
could see how it kind of embeds outward
17:35
the brick there with the chips in it
17:39
almost gave up until after doing a
17:42
little bit of investigative work
17:44
discovered that the cracks are still
17:47
here at first glance thought it extended
17:50
out but in reality it did not extend at
17:53
all the second portion was in the middle
17:58
of this
18:05
if you match up that particular crack
18:05
and that particular chip and the one
18:10
down here at the bottom really kind of
18:15
kind of get it let's look at the screen
18:17
shot ago the notch right there on the
18:19
right about Isla his eye level and his
18:22
elbow level and those notches there but
18:29
one in the same you see the portion
18:32
where they've chiseled it away there in
18:35
the middle of the top to provide room
18:37
for the awning that now is up top here's
18:40
the opposite perspective as he's running
18:41
directly out of the alley towards the
18:44
street this is the spot so at this
18:53
moment
18:54
Llewelyn came running down towards this
18:57
pillar and Payne leaned up against the
19:01
side well there's a bunch of tile which
19:04
has now since been removed
19:06
looks down to the other corner down here
19:09
at this other building which you can see
19:12
where the truck comes pulling out
19:15
looking for a way out don't mind that
19:18
bank sign on the corner originally that
19:21
Murphy side was actually there but they
19:23
moved it and here he goes
19:27
Llewellyn run into the truck and massive
19:30
amounts of pain just like we did here if
19:35
you look closely
19:36
oh it's getting intense
19:39
and this strangers truck I'm driving it
19:41
from the passenger seat all I got to do
19:43
is make it down past the end oh wait I
19:46
see there's no noise a sec it's like a
19:48
it's a sight it's in silence mo but I
19:51
see the flash come from the side of the
19:52
road there that's ant on the truck veers
19:57
out of control over the curb in this
20:00
very parking lot
20:08
the cars on the way the truck comes
20:08
barreling in it smashes into some cars
20:10
right there next to that gate and if you
20:12
notice that 30 mile an hour speed limit
20:14
sign it's still there that's there in
20:21
the foliage left to sit right here that
20:31
neon sign is gone but the building with
20:33
the arches behind it so remains
20:36
Llewellyn then runs across after getting
20:39
out of the truck once across the road to
20:42
this building that is non-existent
20:44
anymore
20:44
it has been torn down he ducks behind a
20:46
car and then looks in the reflection of
20:50
the glass to Anton walking towards him
20:55
and does he find him
20:58
Anton's looking through the truck
20:59
Llewellyn comes out from behind the
21:01
other car walked towards him fires Anton
21:05
ducks behind another car
21:06
and he got hit Llewellyn comes over here
21:09
to try to find Anton right behind the
21:12
car which was sitting right here did
21:15
Anton go behind he comes up sees a blood
21:18
trail on the ground looks to his right
21:20
notices that the blood trail goes
21:23
towards the alleyway right down here
21:25
Anton is nowhere to be found
21:43
the next step is across the border a
21:43
bridge overpass they used car lot that's
21:47
the ticket there's the bridge
21:57
over these used cars a little bit of a
21:57
walk ahead over there standing in the
22:00
direct middle of the bridge constructed
22:04
the facade of the overlay the US border
22:08
down there and into Mexico that
22:14
direction
22:22
the top of the corner there that's the
22:22
briefcase being tossed over the fence
22:25
line and he kind of climbed up on a pole
22:28
that was wedged down in that concrete
22:32
section also you see the way the fence
22:36
is there with that little cross portion
22:42
which signifies the spot it was out as
22:46
soon as it goes into focus there's that
22:48
cross portion and the building beside it
22:52
still the same and then about 30 or 40
22:55
feet away down the bridge these shrubs
22:59
similar to the ones that landed
23:52
we're gonna car accident or something
23:52
I'll give you 500 bucks for that jacket
23:56
show me the money
24:07
you see the money the boy has the dollar
24:13
we've got $4.99 short that's fine sorry
24:25
I'm really needed anyway to be honest if
24:27
- it's your lucky day bud is this
24:46
