*A viewer of this video at these locations in the future* ‘This is where James Rolfe did that video. He was standing right about here.’ Oh, and great work with the sleuthing James!
This film is one of my all-time favourites, I've watched it so often I can pretty much recall the script word-for-word and it still makes me practically die laughing every time I watch it.
Intimidation id love to see a location tour vid for the Wizard. Theyve talked about the movie plenty for obvious reasons so may as well cover it to its fullest 🤘
I saw this on TV in the later '70s and into the '80s. It remains among my all-time favorite movies. The attitudes and essence of the time is a place I've always wanted to be. It was an early take on what I thought was reality, as a California native among other things. My Grandparents were from the East, and moved to El Monte in 1947. Thanks for sharing these. As a kid I would see some of the identical scenery on the PCH in Malibu, notably the white home with the modernist arched front design.
Dude that was one of my all time favorite classics. Especially the Ladder scene at the end. I nearly died cause I was eating christmas dinner when I watched it back when I was 7. I literally made Dressing come out of my nose.
Outside my hometown is the little desert airport they filmed at for this movie. My Grandpa had a restaurant at the time in the area and he did the catering.
"That plane belongs to a Mr. Tyler Fitzgerald...I don't think he's going anywhere today." lol Is the lounge still there where Jim Baccus was sprawled out on the pool table?
I picked up this movie on criterion thanks to your favorite movies of all time list and now ive enjoyed watching the two location videos youve put out for it. Its crazy to think how much things change over time. Keep up the great content.
This is amazing. I've been a huge fan of this movie for 26 years. I discovered it way back in 1992 when I was only 12 years old. For about a year after that, it was my favorite movie. Nice to see some of those location over 50 years since they filmed it.
Very enjoyable to see this, you can feel that he is really into it. I like it very much when people really go after the things they like and not only what would bring the most views etc. Yet it kinda made me sad how these places have changed... from a whole lot of nature to a plane concrete ground...
My dad is Indian and lived in India until he was 25. He did and still does consider It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World his favorite movie of all time. He saw it in theaters in the 60's . It transcends language barriers.
"It's such a minor scene that most people wouldn't think about..." EXCUSE ME?!?! That's one of the funniest, most memorable scenes in the movie for me! Phil Silvers at his best. As for the "Chevy-Dodge" final car crash into the ditch, I've always been certain the stunt driver behind the wheel of the Dodge had to sustain some serious injuries when he slammed into that steering wheel.
That last location looks pretty obvious it's the same. They just upgraded the bridge and cemented the creek, which is something I always hate. California has done that far too much.
I absolutely love these videos! So cool to see these spots from that movie after so long... seems like the perfect film to go location hunting with too.
What a great movie that was. Somehow this reminds me of Huell Howser - wish he was still around & joined you in this - his enthusiasm would have been amazing!
*Agoura Hills, the town I was raised and home to some of the best rock bands in the world ( incubus, guns n roses, hoobastank, linking park, audio vent, Ect) glad you saw it James*
If you ever visit Australia you I recommend you check out Silverton, where Mad Max 2 was shot, it's a bit of a drive from... everywhere but it's just like it was 37 years ago and there's also a small museum packed with original props!
Wow! Thanks so much for your tenacity and for sticking with this story. Both of your vids for Ma Mad World are incredible----and yes, I like their world more than ours...............
I don't really give two shits about the movies you're chasing down in this video, but I fucking love how much you love it. You made something I don't care about interesting and worth watching and that's pretty damn cool.
Love the movie, love the video. It's great that you're so passionate about this film and keep coming back to find more locations from your idol. The bridge you mentioned is also from the bus scene in Duel, which happens to be my favorite movie. I just moved out to LA, maybe I should find it too!
Mad, mad World was like a travelog to me. I was an elementary school kid living in woodland hills when they were filming the movie. I KNEW I had seen many of those locations, and I was right. I feel that the many locations used in southern California are the final uncredited player in this great film!
This is a great movie. I live in Southern cali, so I can visit these locations. I just found out buster keaton's scene was filmed in oxnard. Blew my mind that I visit that location often. Great video mad nintendo nerd!
I just have to say that this video (from James Rolfe, one of my most favorite UA-camrs) was released on my birthday, and another favorite UA-camr of mine, "The Mysterious Mr. Enter," also released a video on the same day as well! That's awesome!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video Mr Cinemassacre...because I do the EXACT SAME THING here in Australia (I don't recreate scenes though). I wonder if like me, you feel a silent awed sadness when you visit famous shooting locations.....I always do and then think how talented cinematographers are. Thanks from Sunny Australia.
Remember the part where Ethyl Merman went flying down this big hill backwards in the tow truck? That's hwy 247 just north of Aberdeen Rd. A few miles north of yucca valley California... I'm 62 but I saw the similarity when I was a kid. We have a family retreat home near there.
Never mind the remains of a pick up truck that had nothing to do with the film, did you find that crushed can of Brew 102 that was behind Jimmy Durante's head? That would be priceless! Brew 102, bottled in Los Angeles and one of the worst beers ever.
Excellent work ! Lining the telephone pole with tree was the proof . Great recreation at the end . A movie everyone should see but hasn't
oh wow! Adam knows of James! awesome!
That same tree got larger in 60 years.

‘This is where James Rolfe did that video. He was standing right about here.’
Oh, and great work with the sleuthing James!
He's the Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Video Game Nerd!
SkulShurtugalTCG I love you vids I love them hide and seek
That's what he should've called himself.
Actually, the Forbidden Road leads to Sylvester's mother's house and is blocked off to ensure that no one bugs her or Sylvester ever again.
This film is one of my all-time favourites, I've watched it so often I can pretty much recall the script word-for-word and it still makes me practically die laughing every time I watch it.
These location videos are always great.
Keep making more of them.
Intimidation id love to see a location tour vid for the Wizard. Theyve talked about the movie plenty for obvious reasons so may as well cover it to its fullest 🤘
Indeeeeed. These are So very cool.. mek me appy
It's impressive how entertaining that movie is so many decades later.
Totally a classic. Best part Bar none. The Ladder scene, that and Pike destroying the Gas Station.

I love how he geeks out over things like this. It makes me realize how much I do the same in my areas.
James is the type of guy that really appreciates atmosphere and location love your videos man.
Damn. It's amazing how those rural roads developed over 50+ years.

These types of videos remind me of why James is my favorite person on the internet
It is kind of sad how these basically random locations have completely changed.
I love seeing old movie locations today! I've seen an amazing documentary about locations used in Buster Keaton movies!
This is one of the most quality UA-cam channels. Always fun, always something interesting, always something AVGnerdy. :)

This has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid, it's great to see more locations! Thanks for doing this!

This is my favorite comedy of all time. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks very much for doing this. This is one of my favorite movies and I saw it when it was at the show! Yes, Im over 65!
I remember this movie being so long, that even when it airs on tv, there’s an intermission.
"It's such a minor scene that most people wouldn't think about..."

James's voice is so calming
Not gonna lie it looks weird seeing James out of the house.
These are so wonderful! Thank you for working so hard to match up our movie memories with today’s locations!
James, I really appreciate your perspectives.
Wow I haven't seen this Movie in a long time,it's one of my favorite slapstick comedies too
I love these location videos. I hope we get to see more of them in the future :)
The location videos are some of my all time favorite that you have done, keep it up! Would love to see more!
That last location looks pretty obvious it's the same. They just upgraded the bridge and cemented the creek, which is something I always hate. California has done that far too much.
Yes! James finally went to more filming locations, awesome
These vids are always awesome!
Yea really enjoyed the Ghostbusters one from way back
SupaPixelGirl faaaaaalse. They resemble a diarrhea dump in his ear.
👏🏻👏🏻👍 Sylvester and the girl dancing in his pad was the ultimate groove. Cmon man, you can mimic it 🤣
Interesting pick for a location tour video. Definitely a good idea. I gotta watch this again. Its been years
It’s surreal reminiscing about these old vids
That was really cool. This movie has been making me laugh for the last 30 years.
I absolutely love these videos! So cool to see these spots from that movie after so long... seems like the perfect film to go location hunting with too.

This is awesome! Glad you got to visit the amazing locations of this great movie.
Love these videos James! Your dedication is second to none man! Thanks!
This is so awesome. My late father loved this movie and I would definitely showed him this video.
Mad, mad World was like a travelog to me. I was an elementary school kid living in woodland hills when they were filming the movie. I KNEW I had seen many of those locations, and I was right. I feel that the many locations used in southern California are the final uncredited player in this great film!
Love this!! Thanks. One of my all time favourite films. I am a movie location scout so this is a real treat.
Red convertible, the driver hits the dashboard really hard! Ouch!
He hits the steering wheel, not the dashboard. And yes, he hits hard.
This is a great movie. I live in Southern cali, so I can visit these locations. I just found out buster keaton's scene was filmed in oxnard. Blew my mind that I visit that location often. Great video mad nintendo nerd!
It's been a while but I always love when you do these location videos! They really show your dedication and passion 😊
Very cool video. I often watch old films from the 50's and 60's with natural locations such as these and wondered what those locations now look today.
How fantastic!!!! I can relate to you 100%. Thank you for posting this marvelous experience.
Great video. Would love to see you do more of these. Very entertaining and don’t stress to much man.
This is amazing
Jhonk
Love these location videos, James. Good stuff!
I love these videos James... I have a passion for locating old movie locations. Hope you make more!
Funniest movie ever. So glad nobody tried a sequel. Sylvester is awesome. So, who would have won the fight between him and Pike the truck driver?
movie's not only funny but beautiful to look at 10/10
I freaking love your filming location videos!!! Keep up the awesome!!!
I just have to say that this video (from James Rolfe, one of my most favorite UA-camrs) was released on my birthday, and another favorite UA-camr of mine, "The Mysterious Mr. Enter," also released a video on the same day as well! That's awesome!
It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad mad ...........world
James has a knack for making simple feel good videos :)
Love these videos so much. Well done James (and Kevin)!
Wow! Awesome! I am stunned at this discovery.
Just these little set details are awesome.
James you are really the best! More great content

I'm definitely a new subscriber now after watching this! Keep up the good work!
I love it James, thanks for sharing
Very nice présentation. Thank you so much. Lots of memories of my childhood. Best comedy ever.
It’s great to see you keep making these
Great video James! Never seen the movie but your dedication makes is still enjoyable even for me!
I only watched that movie once, but I really liked it.👍👍
Awesome. Awesome movie! Haven't seen it since i was a kid. 40 now....crap....I'm old
Fantastic, also my favorite movie, road trip time
Always love seeing James sporting the Indiana Jones jacket.
This took me back to the good old cinemassacre times, James should do more videos about films he like
Remember the part where Ethyl Merman went flying down this big hill backwards in the tow truck? That's hwy 247 just north of Aberdeen Rd. A few miles north of yucca valley California... I'm 62 but I saw the similarity when I was a kid. We have a family retreat home near there.
Great video keep up the great work
This is a pretty cool concept, more please!
Cheers James and Kevin. I love u guys!
Very cool a great movie.
I love this more then anything you've done Bro !
these location videos are great, james
it would be very nice to have a comprehensive movie review involving this movie, and why its so popular today
Glorious! This made me so happy.
Nice, I love these tour videos. Dawn of the dead was my all time favorite
Must be awesome to be able to do stuff like this. It's cool to watch, I know that much.
Hell yeah not a lot of people know about this movie
Wow the place changed so much
I love you, James.
A big hug from Brazil. o/
"Sylvester; don't talk, just LISTEN!"
Never mind the remains of a pick up truck that had nothing to do with the film, did you find that crushed can of Brew 102 that was behind Jimmy Durante's head? That would be priceless! Brew 102, bottled in Los Angeles and one of the worst beers ever.
I love that movie more with each passing year!
Like searching for memories in BotW, but IRL. And more entertaining.
