    Awesome explanation, thanks for making this video. I was in NYC when they were filming the movie. Me and my friend drove our group with two 14 passenger vans and parked near our hotel where they were filming the movie. Our group was unloading the luggage and equipment when one of their crew members yelled at us to move the vans. So I missed the one/two second scene where the stunt driver drives the red car from the side street to the Main Street.
    Their crew put fake grass at the wheels of the vehicles, they put stickers on the windows and cars to make it look foggy, dusty, or dirty. This was the second week of April back in 2007.

I was just there 2 weeks ago and enjoyed seeing the Intrepid ship! Visiting his home at Washington Square Park is a highlight of my life haha. Man, can't thank you enough for this, my hat off to you!! ❤

    Nick P this video right here is a prime example of the quality of your work. I can tell that you spent a lot of time putting this filming location video together. I love your narration and how you go into detail describing all the details of each location you visit. Plus you ad in some humor for good measure. Figuring out where these scenes were filmed is not easy. Especially in a city as big as New York and a movie that is as intense as "I Am Legend" was. Nick P your videos are absolutely fascinating. That is because YOU are a fascinating man.

    I always seem to have something to say when you show NYC locations. The first of this video belt you showed the Interpet, the purple structure that's has the FDR on top of it, is where MIB 3 was being filmed and Will Smith was there though I only saw him from a distance but I did talk to a MIB agent and a guy who does security and he was telling me his next gig was a Batman movie and I think it was the Dark Knight Rises movie.
    Edit: around 10:23, I see you talked about that area again.
