Man that Chinatown set was masterful. It really made you feel like it took place in NYC. So much movie magic happened in the 80s. This movie is just an all time classic.
Practical effects are so much better than CGI
One of my favourite movies of all time. So much nostalgia for this.
My mom and I would watch Gremlins every Christmas eve!
I love the ending that was so funny
Merry Christmas and thanks for this vid Kurt! This was a trip down memory lane.
Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Merry Christmas!

I can't say how many times i have seen this movie. I saw it in the cinema and countless other times. It's a great christmas movie and a real classic.
I had to do a double take on the police officer. Knew that was Jonathan Banks. Of course I didn't know that when it first came out. Great job as usual. Love the ending. Thanks!
I never realized the teacher was Mayor Royce from The Wire.
Thank you very much for your awesome videos!! 80s Life 4 Ever!!
Amazing as always brother!. So important this.
Kind of a shame how Feldman's life turned out, he seemed like the normal one before Haim passed away, now he's under the impression he's a rock star.
As far as child stars go, many have done a lot worse.
I swear that damn story she tells about her dad haunted me growing up.
This is one movie I wish they would have filmed in an actual suburb. This is totally a Christmas movie tho!!
I think the film history in all those locations adds greatly to the charm and was probably done intentionally for that reason. It’s kind of an homage to classic films in several ways.
Great job, Kurt!! Loved this!!!
Awesome job . I love seeing backlots and how they were used. Thanks for a great video !!!!!!
Awesome, Kurt! I’m ready for this one!
One of the all time greats!
Man I gotta say you do excellent work. This was a lot of work. Just awesome stuff.
Die Hard & Gremlins would be my 2 favorite Xmas movie.
Fantastic!!
One of your best videos. Loved how this was more of an 80's movie filming location video, done through Gremlins.
It’s always amazing to me how many iconic movies, that you thought were filmed all over on location, were actually shot in just a couple of places on a backlot. Kind of ruins the illusion rewatching them in some ways. As an adult today, I guess I can sort of tell if I think about it. But especially as a kid in the 80’s, I really had no idea and didn’t even think about it.
I really appriciate the work you put into this! Thank you
My friend, I’m replying before I’ve watched but literally just watched one of my favourite Christmas movies. Merry Christmas from the UK
The ultimate Christmas horror classic!!
Damn dawg, considering that many of the locations were “inaccessible”, you nailed this episode. I remember being scared as hell when I watched Gremlins as a kid, yet nowadays I see how funny it is. By the way, some of those set locations look a lot like Nightmare on Elm street scenes (I don’t recall you doing any episodes on Nightmare on Elm street by the way… or did you? Hahaha, Gen-Xer getting old). Thank you for another good episode Kurt!
Thank you for all of your Hard Work.
I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you and Merry Christmas.
The first X-mas movies that popped into my head were Elf and Bad Santa. Elf was filmed in New York and Vancouver, BC, Bad Santa takes place Phoenix but it was all filmed in California, Long Beach stood in for Miami Beach and Thurman's house was in West Hills.
being a kid at the time i’ll never forget get the one scene where the gremlin goes “ they’ve got weapons” (SO WHAT!) boom!!! “F**K! 😂😂😂
Great stuff as usual, Kurt! Happy Holidays.
Such a comprehensive and enjoyable then and now
Thank you Kurt! Sad to see those sets go. So much history disappearing. It is good that you and others have documented much of it.
I wish they made movies like this today
I was watching this about a month ago and it popped in my head no one has done movie location vids. Then I realized the whole thing was back lots and sound stages.
Love it!!!
Me and a friend went to go see Gremlins when it was originally released in theaters.
It was the first time we went to go see a film in a theater all by ourselves.
We took the RTD bus from our neighborhood over to the Glendale Galleria to see it.
Good times.
My favorite was the bar scene😆🐸🍺🔪🔥
Love This 80s Classic.
🎅Thank you, what a great video! Gotta luv them 80s! Merry Christmas!🐪🌴🌲!
Awesome video once again!!
Great job once again!
Excellent thank you so much for this. My favourite Christmas movie- brings back so many childhood memories.
Merry Christmas. Thanks for all the great videos and looking forward to more in 2024
I love the font that they used for the DJ's billboard.
Phoebe was so hot. One of my first crushes for sure back then.
I love how you commented on goofs like the phone on his desk in the office or the tiny outfits for all the Gremlins! Hahaha
I don’t know why but when i was a kid that movie creeped me out flinging an old lady out of the window and tying their dog up with Christmas lights really messed me up but definitely Gremlins all in all is a holiday classic.
Thank u brutha , this was a trip down memory lane , always watch gremlins at christmas , look forward to watching more of your videos 👍 support from Auckland New Zealand 💯😎
Another good one Kurt Gremlins filming location but did anybody notice the 1970 AMC Gremlin at the beginning of the movie
Yep saw that, just left a comment.
15:41 funniest scene of an old lady being killed? Iol. Also, it's so sad to see those iconic locations gone or have been demolished. And I agree that Kate's story is the most depressing Christmas story ever, it freaked me out as a kid.
Faviot 80s movie
On the movie theater marquee. A Boy’s life was the working title for E.T and Watch the Skies was the pre-production title for Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Another GREAT video. Keep up the good work
You do a perfect Norm McDonald impression
Gerald does literally say Billy is practically supporting his whole family. I think the scene where Billy catches his mom crying was part of the money problems storyline that didn’t make it fully into the film.
This was a horror movie for me as a kid...and a comedy as an adult lol
Yeah, come to think about it, it is always after midnight 😅
Incredible research, thank you very much.
Awesome work super informative. I learned a lot. Great research. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Btw the science teacher's phone on his desk can only call the school office and perhaps other classrooms but it can't call off campus - that's why he used the pay phone :)
Can't forget The Monster Squad was filmed in Courthouse Square too. 🎬🎥
Thank you for mentioning Lethal Weapon as a Christmas movie. While I don't think Die Hard is actually a Christmas movie, if you accept Die Hard as one then you have to count Lethal Weapon and a lot of "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" advocates never even think about Lethal Weapon.
😊 I did not know that Howie did the voice of Gizmo! I learned stuff 😊
Gremlins is my all time Favorite..thanks for this one.
The house next to the Gremlins house on the Warner Ranch was also Major Anthony Nelson's house from I Dream of Jeannie.
You did it this time!! Great video.
Dang, I’m almost Mrs Deagle’s age. 😅
Great video as always Kurt. That Christmas jumper is so cool pal 👌🏻
Save the clock tower, save the clock tower 🙂

The Chinatown area reminded me of Big Trouble in Little China where his rig is parked in the alley.
silent night, deadly night 1984
I zoomed in on the phone on the desk and it doesn't have a dial or numbers. It was most likely just linked to the front office. :)
The Warner Bros. Backlot was also town square in The Dukes of Hazzard TV Series
I'd rather see a new Gremlins than a Netflix Beverly Hills Cop 4
Omg how amazing is this? It's simple, but it's so interesting to get all these locations in one spot but over 2 locations, Absolutely brilliant kurt 10/10 from me. Keep up the amazing work, and I'm looking forward to the next one..
Oh.. have you all noticed when Mrs deagle is killed the gremlins cuts the break cable on the police car, when the police car drives off it slows down and the break lights come on lol...
Great video!! You left us on a cliffhanger! Will there be anymore 80's life videos? Did Kurt survive the attack? All of these questions and many more will be answered on the next episode of...80's life. I bet you thought i was going to say soap?
Still kind of sad to see that soo much has been demolished. For me this would be holy ground 😊.
Legendary movie
A lot of people today will say their favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard. Mine is Gremlins. You could even remove the creatures and still have a good Christmas movie with Mrs. Deagle as some Scrooge-like character.
What is the golf course at the start ???
Funny, I just watched that Movie again on Saturday, 1st time since it came out. I was thinking, Where did they film that and then you posted this. Great work.
Love the movie. Thanks for sharing all of these locations with us.
Awesome
You did a fantastic job. Don't think anyone could have done better 🎉
Brilliant
Just noticed, is one of those cops Jonathan Banks?
Ya. Same year he did Beverly Hills Cop.
After kates wonderful story 😂😂
That was really enjoyable to watch! Thank You!
Home alone😂
pheobe cates was SPECTACULAR - what a hottie
I JUST bought this in 4k and got part 2 in Blu-ray. No 4k for part 2 unfortunately.
How about the M15+ ??
just in time for lunch
you do great work keep it up
Lol .. my dude rocking mittens and beanie and a scarf😅😅😅😅😅 and its 85 outside that day 😅😅😅😅
Beat Street and Gremlins!
Is Madame Ruby's set location the same location as Tangerines apartment on Garbage Pail Kids The Movie?
Nice!!!!!
Friday, was a Christmas movie
They could use some that set if they decide to make Gremlins 3, the 3rd film would or could be a trip back to Kingston Falls Billy Peltzer's home town, but they could rebuild that set in some other studio on a different location or even film inside.
