Transcript
0:02
today's adventure begins by me looking
0:02
out the window in my hotel room here
0:04
looking down upon Universal Studios
0:07
Hollywood as a recording of this Monday
0:10
January 30th
0:12
2023
0:14
I will be heading down there
0:16
and partaking of
0:18
the VIP experience your exclusive access
0:22
to Hollywood
0:24
awaits
0:26
just so happens that they have this
0:28
booklet promoting it
0:30
in the room
0:47
VIP access also should show what it cost
0:47
me 369 dollars is for today's tour the
0:51
tour is pretty much always the same
0:52
sometimes you go into different areas of
0:54
the back lot you can't go because
0:55
they're filming stuff
0:56
but during the course of the year
0:59
you'll see the price will go up
1:00
especially in October November December
1:03
even into February it can get up to 439
1:06
or 469 dollars so I feel like the price
1:09
I paid
1:10
yeah pretty decent for what I'm gonna
1:12
get welcome everyone Adam the woo here
1:15
now for the price I feel like it's a
1:17
pretty good deal not necessarily for me
1:18
because I do have the AP I have the
1:20
annual pass so I don't have to buy a day
1:21
ticket so this is costing me maybe a
1:24
little more than it would be if someone
1:25
who was on vacation who did not have an
1:27
annual pass
1:28
but if you think of it this way if you
1:29
buy a day ticket it's like 120 if you
1:32
add the front of the line to it it
1:33
brings it over 200 you add in your
1:35
lunches you could be spending 250
1:36
dollars
1:38
this experience for the price comes with
1:40
breakfast lunch you walk on every
1:43
attraction and you get like three hours
1:45
give or take on the back lot as well as
1:47
walking on every ride and attraction so
1:49
if you do the math on it
1:51
it's maybe a hundred dollars more than
1:54
you would pay if you just purchase the
1:55
tickets front of the line and meals to
1:57
get on the back lot for me who's you
2:00
know a fan of filming stuff worth it if
2:02
you do not care anything about Backlot
2:05
stuff and filming things walking around
2:07
sets things like that all you want to do
2:09
is the rides and attractions might not
2:11
be your thing just purchase a ticket
2:13
extra the pay the extra money to get
2:16
front of the line and just have a have a
2:18
regular meal you'll save a little bit of
2:20
money but
2:21
if that's your thing like it is mine
2:24
try it out
2:25
I'm inviting you to join me as I head in
2:28
feels nice out kind of cool and crisp
2:30
shall you going across the crosswalk
2:39
heading up the hill over here
2:39
in the Universal Studios Hollywood
2:41
he's got a full tram head and then it
2:43
goes up the side of the hill this is
2:45
about the tram that goes through the
2:47
park this is not the backlotram even
2:48
though there is one some of us are the
2:50
backlight tram this one just goes up the
2:53
side of the Hill
2:54
and then I'm gonna go across that bridge
2:56
right up there somewhere up there is my
2:58
room like towards kind of towards the
3:00
top I kind of wish when it comes to this
3:02
Backlot tour that you could just do a
3:04
full eight hours in the back lot instead
3:06
of like three three and a half hours and
3:08
do no rides but you know get what you
3:10
gotta get what you got to do what you
3:10
got to do Backlot history movie history
3:13

3:16
past time reference now the entry point
3:19

3:20
VIP entrance and you got this little
3:22
Podium and then it even says right here
3:24
on this little placard we're going up
3:27
the staircase here I should also mention
3:28

3:45

we don't have a choice
3:51
I think we do but
3:54
I definitely want you know when in Rome
3:58
When in Rome just do as the do as the
4:00
universal Universal ends they have
4:02
orange juice up here they have coffee
4:03
the universeites and they have a lot of
4:06
snacks over here as well too look at
4:08
these Black Forest ham and cheddar

4:13
so the hastries
4:15
they also serve us lunch a little later
4:17

4:20
kind of similar to the buffet for the
4:23
Halloween thing maybe I've never done
4:25
the RIT oh yeah you have to share you
4:26
have to share the info when we get over
4:28
there
4:29
look at these eggs these eggs are
4:30
probably cost more than the VIP to our
4:32
price at this point stock up on those
4:34
things the price of eggs right now is
4:37
out of control
4:38
yeah grab the last two do you want one I
4:41
just love all this Hitchcock history
4:42
here look at Frankenstein Frankenstein's
4:44

4:54
go out on the balcony too if we want
4:55
while we're waiting for the tour begin
4:56
grab the table right out here
4:58
overlooking the main entrance and the
5:00
archway from the other direction inside
5:02
the park looking out over here in the
5:03
waiting areas an Academy Award for best
5:05
picture 1973
5:08
the sting and of course
5:10
Universal is synonymous with director
5:12
Steven Spielberg it's something I didn't
5:14
know until just now this is also a
5:15
script from ET up here which originally
5:18
called a boy's life but the reason
5:20
Spielberg's Studio or his little area
5:23
back on the Backlot that is not
5:24
accessible to any tour whatsoever emblem
5:27
is because is based on a short filmed
5:31
name amblin that he
5:34
submitted to the executives at the
5:36
studio interesting and I like this this
5:38
is a letter it was a letter of rejection
5:40
basically Dear Mr Spielberg your letter
5:41
to Mr Don Devlin dated May 21st 1965 is
5:45
forwarded it is unlikely there will be
5:47
any opportunities for summer employment
5:48
on the lot at this present time oh how
5:51
things have changed heading down the
5:53
stairs now look at this train I think
5:54
this is the train that's on the back lot
5:56
somewhere I can see we could find that
5:57
all right now heading down onto the
6:00
lower lot we're going to go for the
6:01
little VIP tram and then take it down to
6:03
the lower lot and the backlight and all
6:06
the fun areas down there
6:07
at any time with ice chest right here
6:10
full of ice cold water new disposal
6:12
please let me know okay
6:19
so we're about to get on started today
6:19
we're going to take a look at the
6:20
world's largest oldest busiest TV movie
6:24
studio built right here on the planet
6:25
Earth if you're a fan of Jaws
6:28
set future Fast and Furious we're gonna
6:31
take a look at all these different
6:32
sets today and we will have the
6:34
privilege of getting off of the vehicle
6:36
as well so you guys can have a chance to
6:37
walk around with a touch of stuff yeah
6:39
get all the best movies we've ever seen
6:41
like these ones coming down at Universal
6:43
timeline into your right and left hand
6:45
side that you're showcasing just a few
6:46
of the thousands of movies that have
6:48
been produced right here and not only
6:50
did they film in the real world out on a
6:52
fat lot they can also go in I think
6:54
that's where the Phantom of the Opera
6:55
set used to be right there and they tore
6:57
it down I think it was right there next
6:59
to the voice
7:04
that come there for many seasons but
7:04
they moved over to a different Sound
7:06
Stage instead so they've occupied that
7:08
Sound Stage to build all kinds of
7:10
colossal movie sets I'm gonna show you
7:12
on your screens a few examples was that
7:13
where Phantom of the Opera was or was
7:15
the square fan was it in the voice stage
7:17
yes okay so they haven't tore it down
7:19
it's still there okay still been there
7:20
ever since that is Mark black production
7:24
home
7:30
Broadway musical that is making its way
7:30
to the big screen coming soon with two
7:31
parts
7:37
but here's one of my favorite Bungalows
7:37
on the Block 51.95 you see that black
7:39
and white silhouette on the side of its
7:41
door that was once all into the master
7:43
suspense outfit YouTube serious stuff
7:45
when you think about it oh yeah if you
7:47
think about this big collaborative sense
7:49
right well these are some areas we're
7:50
not going to be able to go into sadly
7:54
music videos
7:56
right now they're using it to set up
7:58
what looks like uh China Town area which
8:00
is really cool uh this is career
8:02
production again I did not mentioned at
8:04
this time but you can if you can find
8:05
out what it is uh but when this is bad
8:07
they're supposed to look like a
8:08
Chinatown this is actually our own New
8:10
York City right here in Hollywood right
8:12
so
8:19
that was the collection Bridge yep and
8:19
all the traction to the studio tour I
8:21
remember the old the old commercials
8:22
with Hitchcock he would jump up in front
8:24
of there
8:25
oh I don't remember off the top of my
8:27
head but unfortunately
8:29
um way early and this used to be over by
8:31
the Western South at one time right that
8:33
used to be over by the Western sets by
8:34
our Denver Street and the tram used to
8:36
go across this yep the tram would go
8:38
across it had stopped right in the
8:40
middle and then the bridge would start
8:41
to collapse it's awesome yeah reading
8:43
that effect I never got to do that
8:44
before my time
8:46
I just always picked her out for
8:48
Hitchcock flying up in front of them
8:49
that's great and this is when you we we
8:52
had the breakfast earlier is this the
8:54
same train where everyone's standing in
8:55
front of it uh that looks kind of like
8:58
it it kind of looks like it but it's
8:59
nice it's kind of like a
9:02
lead off of it off of it but it's the
9:04
same one that's been used for Albert
9:05
Hitchcock's presents which you
9:07
definitely have seen them going into
9:09
some picture cars here which they did
9:10
have some Back to Future stuff and Fast
9:12
and the Furious so coming up I always
9:13
like this car right here and of course
9:16
Magna pi oh look at this right here this
9:18
is the this is the manure car right here
9:27
that's the manure car yeah
9:27
that's right Tom sells Ferrari right
9:29
there we got some of these picture cars
9:32
from Back to the Future Parts one and
9:33
two there's bits convertible I can still
9:35
smell the manure yeah right
9:37
the Ford Probe from the futuristic gear
9:40
sure that wasn't the same car though I
9:42
like the Harry Potter car over here too
9:43
and then if that's not more of his style
9:46
we have some of our eco-friendly Cars I
9:47
Like The Flintstones cars too not this
9:49
one but remember that one with John
9:51
Goodman filmed out of Vasquez Rocks
9:53
these would have been out of ask us yeah
10:11
fries Club oh this is from note yeah
10:11
yeah that's the one that's the screen
10:13
using from note and hopefully we'll be
10:15
able to walk through the note sets
10:16
that's the Nissan Skyline from 2 Fast 2
10:18
Furious
10:19
all the fries closed it's a relic now so
10:24

16:28
same place
16:30
yeah so right over here is where they
16:32
have The Showdown this section right
16:34
here
16:40
and they dress us with all dirt so they
16:40
put dirt through here so it looks like a
16:41
roll West Town
16:43
okay
16:54
right here
17:01
this is where Universal is starting all
17:01
the way back to this opening on March
17:02
15th 1950s the western movies because
17:05
the universe is red and butter that's so
17:07
cool all right I'm kind of I looked up a
17:09
couple of screen grabs of DiCaprio's are
17:13
sitting in front of this over here I
17:15
have to wait a minute
17:17
I know this is where Leo Leo was sitting
17:20
right here for Bounty for Bounty law
17:21
Julia Butters yeah yeah is this where
17:23
she was like you're the best actor I've
17:24
ever seen yeah
17:26
but they filmed the Interiors in here
17:28
too the interior is right here yes so
17:30
that's where he has that scene with the
17:32
actor I do he keeps messing up oh right
17:34
here yeah yeah right here and that's
17:35
epic this is it right here
17:41
all the Interiors were in here yeah
17:41
about 45 minutes of that film all
17:44
features six points right here oh that's
17:45
so cool
17:47
also fun fact that interior was used for
17:50
Jessica Simpsons These Boots Were Made
17:52
for Walking music video
17:54
man
18:06
that's awesome yeah it's cool I love
18:06
that movie here see my key and I noticed
18:10
it wasn't a lot are you sure the
18:12
discussion happened out here and not
18:14
inside yeah
18:15
it was inside
18:17
what happened there really yes okay
18:19
I literally just launched it since then
18:21
of course it's been you know updated you
18:23
know and then I think over here
18:26
I think this is where they did the intro
18:29
I think this was like the opening
18:31
credits they were right sitting right
18:38
I think they were right here looking
18:38
this way
18:48
as shown right here so they're kind of
18:48
sitting up on this little
18:50
this little porch balcony area kind of
18:53
looking like that more or less
18:55
I believe
19:01
and I had to sit in the same exact spot
19:01
as Leonardo DiCaprio from Once Upon a
19:02
Time in Hollywood martial law yeah it
19:04
just kind of works out I'm kind of
19:05
sitting in the same general area I
19:07
figured why not we're already right here
19:08
this is great that train we showed was
19:10
used to be around the corner over there
19:13
and this is where they shot the intro of
19:15
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood I think
19:16
right here the black and white scenes
19:19
that's great
19:21
this clothing store right here that was
19:23
once Whoopi Goldberg's in uh The Color
19:25
Purple oh directed by Stephen
19:27
that was her it's right there
19:31
this is also the birthplace of the
19:32
biggest Western Star so the Duke John
19:34
Wayne Jimmy Stewart Kirk Douglas Clint
19:37
Eastwood
19:38
wants Cowboys that have utilized all of
19:41
these faces
19:50
what was the chapel used in the church
19:50
um I do know for a fact that it was used
19:51
for pickup shots for the birds the birds
19:55
um as for other Productions I can't get
19:57
off the top I know it's always kind of
19:58
just hidden over there yeah yeah I
20:00
actually want to show you something
20:01
really cool too that the other Studio
20:02
Tour doesn't get to see this is one of
20:04
my favorite parts
20:13

20:13
take a look at this giant painted wall
20:15
right here this murals
20:18
we'll get a closer shot of it but this
20:20
is a giant Universal monster mural
20:23
that's dedicated to some of the
20:25
Universal's most classic movie Monsters
20:27
Frankenstein Dracula the wolf Bend we've
20:30
all done by a single person
20:32
done by the name
20:37
of the street artist who's has
20:37
paintings and artworks to museums and
20:39
around the world we did all of this by
20:42
himself using more than 80 cans of spray
20:44
paints and he freehanded it too no
20:47
stencil just freehand
20:50
took him a few months to get it done
20:52
let's take a look at that
20:59
Universal Walker I don't think we're
20:59
going to be able to go over so right
21:01
over there was Dirty Harry yep do you
21:03
feel lucky punk right on that right at
21:05
that steps right not those ones there's
21:07
a there's another building right next to
21:09
it that's where you can't the way you
21:11
can't you can kind of see it from here
21:13
though yeah a little bit yeah
21:16
did I did did I fire five shots or six I
21:19
know what you're thinking feeling lucky
21:21
that's so good
21:24
track yourself
21:31
and then on the other side of this is
21:31
where they film some scenes from
21:32
Gremlins Town Square and then also Back
21:35
to the Future Town Square this is
21:37
awesome buddy we requested the to show
21:40
the Western spots and they took us back
21:42
here we utilize this Wonder water tank
21:44
and they also utilized part lakes and
21:46
creature and Creature from the Black
21:48
Lagoon yep I also heard that this Lake
21:50
was where Norman Bates hid the car in
21:52
Psycho is that true yes that's one part
21:54
uh one part of the location where that
21:56
scene happens okay yeah it's a different
21:58
section as well later that weekend yeah
22:08
used to feel uh
22:08
because in this tank there are a few
22:11
windows
22:12
pointed camera
22:15
you might lift up that flap yeah then
22:17
that's where the camera can be placed oh
22:19
right here going through oh yeah yeah oh
22:22
that's pretty cool yeah so this just
22:24
flaps up yeah
22:32
that's awesome yeah if you want to get
22:32
something like bird diet food and stuff
22:34
stairs and there you go
22:37
they're not built but it was used for a
22:39
creature from the flagship
22:44
they filled a lot out of Florida too
22:45
oh yeah
22:54
I'm really gonna have to research what
22:54
this universal church was using for
22:56
because this looks very familiar on to
22:58
the next spot
23:00
that was awesome
23:12
uh this is also used as well for the end
23:12
credit take me to Psycho uh one of the
23:15
two areas where they did the pushing of
23:18
the car that marries the body in the
23:19
back of the truck
23:20
good news for television shows like
23:22
McHale's Navy which is the entire

28:22
burned down but he was saying a lot of
28:25
this stuff is original kind of dates
28:26
back
28:27
for a long period of time you see a lot
28:29
of the universal Monster films he used
28:31
to be like a
28:33
like a circular like Fountain here and
28:35
whatnot oh you can even see where the
28:37
fountain etching was
28:39
right here on the ground
28:42
probably replaced over time but you know
28:44
a lot of times the camera would be over
28:47
kind of looking back
28:58
he walks inside of the town for the
28:58
first time on camera with his Infamous
28:59
ER and walk right happened right through
29:02
that archway
29:13
you can even see where they used to have
29:13
like the fountain right here oh yeah
29:21
by these villagers right here you can
29:21
still see the outline in Hunchback yep
29:24
right here this is where he was chained
29:26
up
29:27
just throw it right up behind you is
29:29
where the Wolfman transfers over the
29:32
night
29:33
okay wolf man up here Lon Chaney
29:41
The Invisible Man ah so good
29:41
classic Universal Monsters the birth of
29:45
so many directors imitating him
29:48
idolizing those films going to Modern
29:50
Day horror
29:52
pretty awesome Court of Miracles
29:55
that he let us off here too certain
29:57
areas aren't going to be out of going
29:58
we're not gonna be able to go to
29:59
Colonial Street East Side we're not
30:01
going to go to the chicken ranch for
30:02
Best Little Whorehouse at the house of a
30:03
thousand and we're not going to be able
30:05
to go down to Hill Valley Back to the
30:06
Future but this so far has been an
30:08
awesome tour and now back on the trolley
30:10
on to the next spot I'm considering this
30:13
so far pretty good success oh I know
30:17
we don't have these in Florida
30:18
earthquakes
30:21
with gas
30:27
oh it's on fire
30:27
I like the VIP tour does take you to
30:30
wow
30:35
love it
30:43
all right
30:44
just another day of falling
30:57
there goes the monorail
31:02
it is just lodged off of the peak is
31:06
everybody all right I think we're good
31:07
we have everything out of control
31:08
there's nothing numbers that's it right
31:11
oh that's not it look out let's go
31:31
this is your surprise earthquake the big
31:31
one oh your glasses are a little
31:32
misconstrued yeah a little sofa there
31:35
that was an 8.3 earthquake that you just
31:39
experienced on this side because I
31:41
wanted to be able to see Bruce the shark
31:43
jaws Amity I would go into Amity Island
31:46
and I learned doing this last time you
31:48
sit on this side you don't really see
31:50
and get screwed yeah
31:53
so I'm gonna get over here we're going
31:55
in
32:04
so at the site this is I'm considering
32:04
this a pretty decent tour
32:06
better than past ones I've done in the
32:09
in the past
32:14
and you get to see jaws popping up
32:14
shooting up fire what not and don't be
32:16
fooled because this right here is not
32:18
the real jaw that's that's an imitation
32:20
jaw it's a real Jaws is over here it's
32:22
going to pop up very very very soon also
32:24
this was all used in Andrew Lansbury
32:27
emergency room right over here this
32:29
whole this whole little area right
32:30
through here look see a thin
32:38
oh look there's a diver
32:38
watch out
32:40
oh that's not good
32:52
what that did not end well for that
32:52
diver
32:57
but supposedly all this was used in the
32:57
Angela Lansbury TV show Murder She Wrote
32:59
too
33:09
gasoline bear We're Gonna Keep Us Safe
33:09
here at Universal Hollywood oh I don't
33:12

33:14
Angela Lansbury around anywhere let me
33:16

33:23
giving away the magic right now Charlie
33:25

33:34

33:41
oh
33:42
see you Bruce
33:53
the driver just giving us all the good
33:53
stuff
33:54
that was the best Jaws experience I've
33:56
ever had yeah
34:04
the same shirt that they used in the
34:04
movie Jaws Steven Spielberg gonna screw
34:06
had three plastic mechanical sharks that
34:08
he had tried out with over with fresh
34:10
water and Martha's Vineyard but he
34:12
wanted to take things further and he
34:14
wanted to go to the middle
34:16
so the first big step into the ocean and
34:20
they almost immediately sunk the Bottom
34:22
now one area you very rarely go down or
34:24
slow down to is over here known as Elm
34:27
Street and the house on the corner over
34:29
here was Robert Duvall his house Boo
34:33
Radley's house
34:38
Kill a Mockingbird right here the end To
34:39
Kill a Mockingbird I think it's the only
34:40
house left
34:41
from that era
34:44
okay you may know this chicken ranch
34:46
from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
34:48
with Dolly Parton but you may remember
34:50
many at Rob Zombie's first birthday yeah
34:52
House of a thousand courts that's where
34:54
uh what's his name
34:57
wow they were doing a lot of filming
35:00
down here look at this I'm definitely
35:02
not gonna be able to go on a colonial
35:03
also Beethoven they filmed here and Best
35:06
Little Whorehouse with Dolly Parton they
35:08
film the interior the song I Will Always
35:10
Love You with Burt Reynolds was right
35:11
inside his Interiors
35:14
this is colonial Street
35:16
wow they're doing a lot down there
35:19
eight seasons of Desperate Housewives
35:22
that was mysterious but it was also used
35:25
for other movies TV shows commercials
35:27
the case of Hardware the birds Tom Hanks
35:30
13-13 mocking ball names or picture cars
35:38
this used to be where Whoville was they
35:38
tore it all out right there no more
35:40
Whoville during horror nights they're
35:42
walking yeah
35:44
the chainsaw people yeah yeah the orange
35:47
one is too fast
35:50
right there too
35:52
look over there in the back that black
35:53
yellow hair over there it's level me
35:56
yeah John Cena we're gonna go by the
35:59
Bates Motel this wasn't in the original
36:00
that's like this is from like psycho 3
36:02
or something this Bates Motel
36:04
it's not from the original wow
36:06
maybe it is from the original he's all
36:08
original some of them are not original
36:11
they are the replica of the real deal
36:14
I'll have to look that up because I
36:16
always thought that this was like from
36:17
part two or three this this Bates Motel
36:20
a little bit for that yeah maybe
36:23
and I know the psycho house was on a
36:26
different spot of the lot it was moved
36:28
to where it is now like the house up
36:30
here is not in the same exact spot as
36:32
where it once was
36:34
Norman what's he doing in the trunk
36:39
Norman what is Norman he seems a little
36:43
sketched out
36:50
oh he's got a body
36:50
he's got a body
36:52
oh look how sweet
36:55
it's very helpful
37:02
oh Lord
37:09
oh he sees us that's not good he sees us
37:09
no he's making eye contact he's making
37:12
eye contact he's still eyeballing us
37:16
down there though look at him he's still
37:17
looking at us all the way from down
37:20
take a look in the top left window
37:22
you'll see other drop it in her chair up
37:35
now see I did a VIP tour a while back
37:35
and they had us walk through here but I
37:37
think because they took us to certain
37:38
areas we asked for we're going to bypass
37:40
this which I am totally fine with as
37:42
I've walked through this you walk
37:43
through this during horror nights so I'd
37:45
rather go to the spots that you haven't
37:46
shown us which it's pretty good
37:49
and they used to have the Jurassic Park
37:51
two building was back behind here that's
37:55
been removed and now they have the
37:56
building back here that was in Great
37:58
Outdoors the uh Great Outdoors cabin is
38:02
now back there
38:03
it's not where it's supposed to be
38:07
this entire Wing or this entire airplane
38:09
uh tail end is supposed to be flipped
38:12
the other way it's upside down
38:34
right over here you got this amazing Log
38:34
Cabin that was originally Built For The
38:36
Great Outdoors John Candy
38:42
this was over now where the nope sets
38:42
are they moved it and they built two of
38:44
these they had one that was on location
38:45
they had one that was here at Universal
38:47
so there was two of these built this was
38:49
the one that they built probably for the
38:51
interiors and whatnot
38:53
and for some Exteriors
38:58
but there were two of these because the
38:58
whole movie was not filmed here but they
39:00
did build a secondary one
39:16
we're proud of the chainsaws come and
39:16
Chase
39:17
until 2AM I definitely want to go
39:21
you definitely want to come around
39:29
is
39:38
take a guess that one yeah
39:38
we don't need that in Market exactly so
39:41
that's interesting said he couldn't get
39:43
the rice to use Boeing so they had to
39:44
like charcoal it out so it looks like
39:47
it's just a Bo but they couldn't even
39:49
have the following yeah yeah
39:51
Spielberg's got the money scoopers got
39:54
the cash images
39:56
about three and a half hours away from
39:58
Universal they picked up this airplane
40:00
shot them into four pieces put them on
40:02
the back of their flatbed trucks oh yeah
40:06
it's a real airplane yeah
40:09
it costs more to ship it here than to
40:11
buy it right 200 Grand
40:12
200 Grand to get it here but they only
40:14
purchased the plane for 60k
40:16
only for three and a half minutes of the
40:18
film
40:19
that's it
40:21
costs a lot more
40:23
absolutely look at this beautiful thing
40:25
here I love how you're like oh that's
40:27
need an airplane why don't we go over
40:28
here and see this iconic Hitchcock piece
40:39
yeah this is like this is like
40:39
I don't know this is this is because of
40:41
the good stuff
40:45
so this was down kind of towards the
40:45
lower lot I think originally than it was
40:47
here they moved it up
40:49
I don't know what year it was but
40:52
fun fact for the house we only had two
40:55
back doors open
40:57
and then later on for the studio tour we
41:00
added it so that they can add home
41:03
I wonder if mother's home
41:05
leather
41:13
is Norman in there today oh Norman was
41:13
down there Norman's down there that's
41:14
right thank goodness it's got a business
41:15
to run look there's Mom oh she's right
41:18
up there yeah
41:20
lovely as always
41:25
during our Halloween Horror Nights event
41:25
the studio tour we drop you off right
41:27
here to walk through a big hotel and get
41:30
you can come up oh look at mother up
41:33
there a boy's best friend is his mother
41:44
Epic
41:44
so epic
41:55
it was a part of the crew uh
41:55
he actually was on site at the airplane
41:58
graveyard where he got this airplane
42:00
told me that once airplanes
42:02
decommissioned we have to scrap the logo
42:04
they have to scrap everything that's
42:06
associated with the company so that
42:07
moving
42:20
see the inner workings of this is just a
42:20
shell it's just a facade there are no
42:22
real floors
42:24
just wooden platforms in there some
42:26
unsuspecting guests pulling up over here

42:45
the studio tour and probably no probably
42:47
the nope set oh yeah all right I'm
42:50
pretty happy pretty happy with this
42:51
studio tour to be honest what's that I'm
42:54
pretty content with the studio tour I
42:55
mean I wish there's a couple spots I
42:57
wish we could have gone but we did a lot
42:59
more than I was expecting we would do
43:00
it's been a pretty good guide look at
43:03
Jupiter's plane from Jordan fields to do
43:06
a sci-fi thriller film nope
43:08
these are the real movie sets from that
43:11
movie and here he is I'll tell you a
43:12
little bit there I just recently watched
43:14
the movie nope
43:16
um I don't even know how I feel about it
43:17
I was kind of I really liked us a lot I
43:19
think I was expecting Jordan kill's
43:21
newest movie nope to be more kind of
43:22
like I thought he was going to be I
43:24
thought it was gonna be more like a
43:25
horror film kind of like us was I really
43:26
liked us nope was a little bit different
43:28
and this is the Western this is the
43:29
Western set that was used as Jupiter
43:32
claim for for nope I feel like I need to
43:36
watch it again just to kind of get the
43:38
full Vibe of note it was definitely was
43:40
nothing like us I think nope was more of
43:43
a of a Sci-Fi I would say it was more of
43:45
a sign this is awesome
43:47

43:49

45:08
by making it those kids
45:16
no spoiler Sean come on what no spoilers
45:16
awesome
45:24
yeah during hhm last year you could walk
45:24
through this and they had all the
45:26
tethered from us and then they had some
45:27
of the Jupiter claim folk through here
45:28
too it was pretty dang cool
45:34
pretty dang cool
45:34
I know these are all the sets that they
45:35
moved over near Vasquez Rocks what's it
45:38
called aqua what's the famous next to
45:40
bask as Aqua Aqua Dolce
45:43
was in the movie but I wonder if that
45:45
balloon was the one they used in the
45:46
movie
45:50
interesting
45:50
is that the actual
45:57
is this the is this the actual truck yep
45:57
really yeah
46:12
maybe you guys just a little more inside
46:12
look at what it takes to create some of
46:15
your favorite movies TV
46:17
commercials everything that you can
46:19
think of for every one or two actors
46:20
that you see on your screens there's at
46:22
least a thousand people behind the
46:24
camera different departments who come
46:26
together to work together to make a
46:27
living project
46:29
hopefully to bring you entertainment so
46:31
you're laughing you're crying you're on
46:33
the edge of your seats everything that
46:35
it is to create a really awesome movie
46:38
again I hope everybody enjoyed their
46:40
business behind the scenes look on the
46:42
studio tour because now we're gonna head
46:44
back into the theme park it's time to
46:46
ride the movie we got this little heater
46:49
which is kind of nice we're gonna sit
46:50
out here this is our table it's on my
46:53
table
46:54
and we're gonna take this in and get
46:55
some food at the buffet
46:59
think about this Buffet there really is
47:00
like just there's really so much to
47:02
choose from I might have to do like a if
47:04
I have to do like a refill of my place
47:06
I'm just kind of browsing around these
47:07
have like so many different options you
47:10
really can't get everything on one
47:11
complete plate there's probably like you
47:13
know 30 different items on the buffet
47:15
itself
47:16
this is what I got so Sean recommended
47:19
the salmon here yep right yeah it's good
47:22
that was your you said you got this at
47:24
the rip event yeah I'm gonna try it
47:25
right now see if it's good
47:30
how is it
47:30
wait a second doc
47:32
doc
47:34
uh apply the taste of the buffet style
47:36
join us ciao oh no no I forgot you're
47:40
inside there you couldn't possibly do it
47:42
but you could see the different styles
47:44
different foods and the Expressions on
47:46
people's face when they eat it there's a
47:48
lot to eat in there that's right I might
47:49
have to get more than one than one play
47:51
yeah definitely get more than one pipe
47:53
how are things in time how's things back
47:56
in time just fine it's so interesting
47:58
you put it that way because it is in
48:00
fact back in time 2015 was the furthest
48:02
high wind so you've seen more future
48:04
than I have
48:05
that's confusing me Doc eight years ago
48:08
was the third of this I win and now I'm
48:11
here and you were here has it been eight
48:13
years that's right 2015.
48:16
isn't that wild
48:19
but yes
48:21
last time I did last time I did the VIP
48:23
tour was like seven months ago I didn't
48:25
see you here you must have been on an
48:27
adventure back in time that happens
48:28
sometimes I'm over here I'm over there
48:31
I'm traveling but right now I am here
48:33
yes at this point in time we see each
48:35
other yet again any recommendations on
48:37
the food in there I got this is what I
48:39
got is there anything missing that I
48:40
should probably go in again so it's a
48:42
very nice
48:43
a variety of sorbets that they're up
48:47
here in a container it looks like that's
48:49
why you would keep the plutonium it's
48:51
not it's where they have the the
48:52
difference full base so look out for
48:54
that the sorbets that's right all right
49:03
that's true that's a deep cut that's a
49:03
deep Universal cut well no no that's
49:06
that was my wife's recipe oh kind of
49:09
like Walter not his wife also had a
49:11
chicken restaurant that's right do you

50:00
that it didn't go well no not at all
50:04

50:07
was meant to be in Show Business scene
50:09

50:11
in English
50:27
past my bedtime yeah you know my
50:27
apartment is scary enough I don't need
50:29
any of them
50:49
she's not a fan my apartment building is
50:49
scary enough I don't need to see any of
50:51
that stuff oh what is this you got the
50:52
flux capacitor that's the flex capacitor
50:54
of course it's what and it's Bluetooth
50:55
technology it's you know centers into
50:57
the one in the car okay so you got a
51:00
link you got it linked up you got that
51:01
thing hooked up to the car of course of
51:04
course so I try to do a dock sometimes
51:06
but I can't do it as good as the real
51:07
doc uh people imitate you all the time
51:10
how do you feel about it it's way
51:12
possible I I take no offense imitation
51:14
is the best form a flatter greatest
51:15
compliment yeah I see it for me and for
51:18
everybody else yeah I try to imitate you
51:20
and I just always fail I sound more like
51:22
Seinfeld when I do it like I'll go like
51:25
observational here of course yes
51:29
what who are these people it's like a
51:33
sign I've never said who are these
51:34
people man
51:40
have you ever been confused for Seinfeld
51:40
no no no
51:42
maybe in a few years tour completed did
51:46
quite a few
51:47
other attractions spent a lot more time
51:50
in the Backlot than I expected we would
51:52
and that was pretty good
51:54
the other VIP tours I've done in the
51:56
past
51:57
started off with doing the rides and the
51:59
attractions first on the lot and then
52:01
venturing down to the lower lot for the
52:04
Backlot this was reverse of that I think
52:05
that transcended
52:08
into being
52:09
spending more time in the Backlot which
52:11
I'm not complaining about I like that
52:12
I'll see you next video the Vlog is
52:16
over
