Today i strolled down Hollywood Boulevard they shoot a movie possibly joker 2. Hollywood Boulevard was transformed back to 1985 next to the glitz and glamour you see the real Hollywood , people are homeless. I explored Hollywood Boulevard seen the stars on the walk of fame, handprints and footprints in front of the man Chinese theater. I also visit the inside of the theater, very beautiful I walked all the way down to the Funko pop store. Lots of photo opportunities.i love hollywood
"Where dreams come true....and get shattered." LOL! So true!
Thank you for showing the true Hollywood. People that have never traveled to California think that it is so glamorous. I’ve been to LA and other parts of California and I’ve seen what u see here. Thank you for showing the real Hollywood!!
Yes, Hollywood is definitely not reality, but a fairy tale land. So many people have gone to Hollywood but very few people make it.
@Shon East It's definitely beautiful out there.
@Shon East Not that bad.
My mom was not impressed on her first and only visit. She said it was dirty.
All the big cities in the world have these kinds of problems. Most of these people are not born in LA, people with drug and mental issues, usually they choose to move to big cities.
I lived in Los Angeles in 1985 and absolutely loved it. Great memories for sure.
Where he's at was pretty gritty but we didn't have the homeless problem. I left in 86, too expensive..
Honestly this was just depressing (not your video, but the state of Hollywood). So sad, just looks like cesspit of human depravity, like so many neighbourhoods in LA now. I have travelled all over the world and never seen anything even remotely close to what I saw in LA last year. It has changed so much from the previous times I have been there, super sad.
It's a sign of MAGA!
Do a show from where you live. I can't wait to see it!
@@James-wv3hx There are no homeless encampments that's for sure. We also do not have the fentanyl crisis the US has so no zombie people running around everywhere. Is there homelessness and addiction? Sure. But absolutely nothing like this. I love LA and am most likely going to end up living there next year due to work, I'm not hating on it, but it truely is in a sad state. I have never in my life (even in so called developing countries) seen people taking a shit in the middle of a subway platform, walking around naked on the train, the amount of people out of their mind yelling at random people and the scale of the homeless encampments (all of which I saw within my first two hours in LA last year). It was very sad, and was definitely not that bad when I have been there in the past.
@@truthadvocacy California is a run by democrats, not MAGA.
The dream was to move to Hollywood or LA make it in the movies. I ended up living in LA working on creative projects in early 2000. Its become unaffordable for the struggling actor trying to make it worse than ever before. Being an extra in Hollywood you're just one of many trying to make it. Working people in LA need affordable housing.
Man, this video hit me right in the feels. To see cars and people from the 1980’s in Hollywood made me remember the times when Los Angeles was amazing. I remember seeing cars just like that rolling down the street in real life. Thank you for this video.
L.A. was never amazing during your lifetime, especially the 1980s. There have always been homeless and crazy people walking the streets of Hollywood for decades. You just remember a time when there were different kinds of homeless, hookers, drug addicts, criminals and crazy people walking the streets of Hollywood than there are today.
80’s Hollywood was worse.
Most of the street and nearby roads were bad.
@@josecarranza7555 "Oh yes, the 1980's Hollywood had a higher class of bums, hookers, drug addicts, mental patients, and criminals than today!"
You’re old
Yeah, didn't it used to be Graumann's Chinese Theatre? When I lived there. Everything changes. .just stop changing! 🌺
It's not Joker 2 Mike it's MaXXXine and proud to say I am a Extra in the Movie 😊 Its going to be Fierce!
So sad.....I spent a lot of time in Hollywood during the 80's. It was really nice back then.
Sometimes you just need a German with some residual warguilt to fix it.
@@coronaphone710 Hey, the Germans got overshadowed by the one bad thing; but they did a lot of good things, they never got an credit for. They pretty decent fixers once they get squared away and get focused. Believe it or not, they actually try to work with others when ever they can. They are plagued by stereotypes just like everyone else.
My 1st trip to HW was in '85. Amazing back then! Haven't been back since '06, looks like a 💩hole today.
Before the libbys ruined everything
There were parts of it that were sketch as hell in the 80s too.
Yes, we still had those phones in the 80's. Pay phones. They were a quarter then, for a call...up from what was just a dime. I used to say.. "dimes are for the phone, quarters for the wash & nickels for kisses."
The Walk of Fame is strangely sad for me. Thanks for sharing 💜
He really said “Pope Yes” 😂 Hopefully he’s trolling
Thats what I'm calling it from now on lol
You've never called it that lol
"Popeyes" Mike 😅😊
That's from a TikTok video.
Same
Mike you're truly a Hollywood fixture and a true lover of Los Angeles. Love your channel.
hi, friend!
My name is Gabriel and I am from Tecalitlan Jalisco, Mexico. land of the best mariachi in the world "mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan".
I have been watching your videos for a long time and I think they are great! 2 weeks ago I went to Michael's grave, your videos inspired me to go. I had 4 years without going to visit my Mexican family in bellflower California. Hopefully some day I can meet you in person, it would be very satisfying for me to meet a person as interesting as you. thanks for all your videos! Thanks for sharing your happiness in Hollywood! and your passion for cinema and entertainment.
Thank you Mike for showing us inside the Mann's theater!! I have always wandered what it might look like.
I love seeing movies being filmed, so neat. My 3 uncles are all car collectors and they have provided cars for movies shot in Ohio ever since Tango & Cash was filmed here. They provided several old cars and trucks for Shawshank including the truck Red rides in after being freed from prison. That's about as close i get to Hollywood, it's not a place i've ever wanted to go, but i think we all dream of being a star at one point in our lives, if only for a second.
Awesome. Havent seen tango and cash in a long time. What cars did he have in that movie?
He's my personal vibe mate and we need to enjoy together?
I work as an actor. I had an audition for a role in this movie, in fact.
It's a modest living, but it can be tremendous fun. Not as easy doing it on the busy streets of Hollywood, but it sure was gorgeous weather to be working in.
That is really cool! My great uncle to was in a car club and raced cars in his youth in the 1950's. He lived in Peoria, Ill and had several cars in the 1980's movie called Jo Jo Dancer. A movie based on Richard Pryor's life.

I recently visited Los Angeles where I attended the LA Conservancy's annual Last Remaining Seats event at the fabulous and wonderfully restored Los Angeles Theatre in downtown LA with my daughter and her husband. It was a great event -- packed house -- and it felt like the old glory days of Hollywood movies. The next day I decided to take the new subway line up to Hollywood Boulevard just to see the old street (I had lived in Los Angeles in my younger days and I would often see movies at the grand old theatres there, including Grauman's Chinese Theatre). I got off the metro line at Hollywood and Vine, right across the street from the awesome Pantages Theatre where I had seen many movies as a young man. I walked about three blocks or so west, toward the Egyptian theatre but I had to turn around. I was sickened by the disgusting things I saw -- homeless people lying across the sidewalk right on the Hollywood Walk of Fame where the stars names are featured in beautiful plaques. Panhandlers, and mentally disturbed people -- one repeatedly banging his head against a sign for no apparent reason -- were on every block. The stench of marijuana was everywhere, and filthy garbage tossed all over. I saw one homeless person take a pizza box out of the trash and throw it across the sidewalk right in front of me. I couldn't take anymore. I turned back toward the metro station and got back on the subway and went back to where I was staying that week.
What a crime this is to let this one-of-a-kind place with so much history go to waste like this. The city officials and law enforcement should be ashamed at what they have let this wonderful historic place come to. I could only imagine what the few tourists I saw thought of this place.
I must say, I dont believe you have ever made a bad video!!! Love your work and your personality, keep up the good work!!
i took my 80 year old wife to LA last day we were there i ask her what she wanted to do she said lets do something the locals do so i pooped on the sidewalk
I aways wanted to see the inside! Thank you GIV❤
One day in the mid 90s I was visiting Hollywood with my boyfriend. We were right in front of Mann's when we were invited to a screening of some new show. We went in and watched (and pressed the button when we liked something) and when we came back out, it was dark. Wow. Very different scene. We stashed our cameras in my bag and ran for the car.
Now, in the same situation, your chances of survival are low.
Cool Tour GIV..thank you so much for sharing your world with us!
The old RTD bus rings back memories ❤ my granny and I used to take it from Glendale to Hollywood or to Olvera Street as a kid. That old color way gradient around the bus is giving nostalgia ❤🧡💛
I had never been in the Manns theater until today. What a neat place. Thank-you.
Some say when it rains it pours
Hollywood ain't no place for lovers anymore
And it ain't no place for us
Some say when it rains it pours

We in my family all love Fred Mertz!! Thanks for showing the Knickerbocker...
Born and raised in California 1968 general hospital.I moved last October due to the death of my wife of 33 years in 2019.I will always hold a spot in my heart for the beaches and the mountains and the 80’s.I’ve met GIV in Venice a few times and he’s great.if by any chance I revisit California one of my stops will be Venice and hopefully see Mike on the boardwalk or his shop.if not I’ll always be able to watch the videos.🇺🇸🤘.
Mr German u are so smart and nice thanks forall u do for us.
It was nice to see the inside of Gramens (sp?)Chinese theater. I saw the outside in 1987. It was the only time I was in LA and southern Ca.
You got skills! Dance moves and whistles.....WOW!❤🔥
Wie kannst Du nur an so einem Ort leben?! Respekt. Ich könnte es nicht. Deine Krefelder Videos sind echt gut, meine Familie lebt dort und so kenne ich die Stadt auch.
The Chinese Theatre has hands down the best IMAX experience ever! The sound , the screen, the ambiance, all amazing! Highly recommend.
Amazing video. Thanks for showing the inside of the famous Chinese Theater.
Some of the UA-cam just saw you and I commented on his stuff you’re about to blow up. I know it this way and you’re like the best UA-camr ever I love it.
Good, detailed report. Amazing to see all those old cars. Minor point, GIV, but it was only called Mann's for a while when the Mann theater chain owned it, 80s and 90s. Original name was Grauman's Chinese. And now it's called "TCL" Chinese as they're the current owners.
Are they still playing Meltdown? Ha ha ha.
@@vigo894 I got that!
I love Lucy knowledge
Thank you GIV! Enjoy all your videos. Love Hollywood and CA!
Thank you, GIV, for this new one! I know the area well, since the 1970s, but I have not visited Hollywood in more than ten years now. That’s a long time for me, to be away. Today, through your video, I can see how changes have occurred. By the way, I was there at the Chinese Theatre when Darth Vader, C-3PO, and R2-D2 planted their footprints in cement. I was maybe eleven years old then, and was lucky to be in the crowd, maybe ten feet away from the footprint area. A photo of the ceremony was on the cover of Famous Monsters magazine. A few years after that, a bunch of friends and I camped outside the Egyptian Theater nearby for “Return of the Jedi”, and by then the fandom had grown. Great stories from the strange and mysterious world of Hollywood.
Hey that's my Buick. Cool dude,thank you.
And the guy at the newsstand 😎
We certainly enjoy your uploads Mike.
Thanks for the walkthrough video. Worked about half block from the Mann's Chinese theater around 2008 but never went inside. So it is nice to finally see the inside. Went to all the businesses around the area where most of them are now closed in your video. Kind of sad to see Hollywood like this. Hopefully it will be bustling again.
Hi Mike!!🤩👋 Thank You for making me laugh Mike I love your videos!! I always look forward to them! Also I think you are pretty good at making sound effects you can do that in the movies!!😁 Take care Mike and please tell your Mom I said hello!! TSCHUESSING!!🤍🤍🤍
there used to be a guy with no legs who crawled around all day polishing the stars on the street
Seeing all the old cars driving down Hollywood Blvd. is really cool!
But I'm glad you've showed the reality of Hollywood, it's not the glamorous place people assume it is.
Wow great video as usual man! I really enjoy your videos, it takes me back when I used to live in Hollywood. I lived at Wilcox and Sunset. I helped run Club Lingerie between 1998 and 2003. A lot has changed since then. I now live in Toronto and work in the film/tv business. Cheers man!
Raw & close up with GERMAN IN VINES!! Take it easy. Thank you Sir. For sharing.
husband speaking age 80, thanks for the update on Hollywood. My wife and I were there about 45 years ago and passed through
the town in 2004. I have no desire to ever come to Calif. again - not safe, so thank you for being brave for us.
Mike love your videos ..love the Hollywood videos you show us ...keep up your great work ..I can watch all your videos very intersted ....your great dude ..GOD bless you 📹🎬
The first time I visited Hollywood Blvd. was 2007 and they had the Transformers poster draped over a skyscraper, five months before the premiere. I remember asking if it was safe to walk at night and was given the answer "Absolutely not!" It's a shame, I got the exact opposite answer when asking about walking at night in Manhattan.
@@telecomnerdThe Russians and Putin personally are to blame for everything!😂😂😂
Nostalgic seeing those vintage cars from my childhood. Anyways great content as always @German in Venice 😂
Sadly it appears those streets and neighborhoods haven't been maintained since the 80s...yikes.
Thanks , German, for the entertainment, you do make me laugh, loved the robot dance😊
Love these videos, lived in Los Angeles(Venice) for many years and planning to go back soon, your videos make me realise why its such a special city despite some of its well publicised negatives
He said POP Yes for Popeyes 😂😂😂😂😂
Good video. I loved the Robot dance!
GIV hey from sydney australia - good morning - excellent footage dude - nothing fake just the truth business as usual for ya...BEST WISHES!!! YOUR WAY!!!
Rolling, 🎭 ACTION 🎬 Great videos. ✌️
Mike, congrats on your weight loss! We are cheering you on! Would you be open to creating content and filming other areas of California (San Francisco, San Diego and Montecito)? Would love to see you cover other areas of Cali!
I didn't know, but now I do... Love your vids, the little added compositing effects are cool.
As another commenter pointed out, dude you filmed across the street at 4:15 is an excellent Emmy winning actor. He played Gyp Rossetti in Boardwalk Empire
Yes Bobby Canavale
Bobby Cannavale
Filming "MaXXXine"...?
@@tantomane6990 yes all hints point to it. They are filming it, it's an 80s movie and Bobby is in it 🎉
Thank You so much for all your hard work. I enjoyed your video very much .
Great video Mike! You are the best online tour guide to LA!
I hope you get to ride along with the homes of the stars dude.
GREAT VIDEO ,, I WSH I COULD PUT MY 1978 BUICK SKYLARK IN THE MOVIES ,, THANKS MR. GERMAN.. AGAIN GREAT VIDEO...LA LA LAND IS THE BEST !!!! STORE..
All that organising just for one scene! I love it!
GIV - POP Eyes - chicken. Just like “Popeye the Sailor Man”
PS - Fun video! Old RTD bus, signage, clothing.
PS2 - Go give the Egyptian theatre some love!
Haha, I almost believed it was Pope Yes..
Hey 👋🏻 Mike , Pope Yes is Popeyes like Popeye the sailor man. Love and respect ✊🏻 🫡 Mom in Germany 🇩🇪
I miss watching and passing by , I met many of my favorite actors like this dressed in character, thnkxz
I'm coming to visit LA this summer. So excited! Hello from Finland 🇫🇮
Have been many times
You’ll have a blast ..
Bring a bullet proof vest. Good luck, I hope you survive!
@@michaelhurley3171 lol so exaggerated
Thanks for showing the Funko Pop store. I have several.
Isn’t it great that they kept the beautiful Hotel Knickerbocker. I can just imagine Joe and Marilyn arriving at the Hotel. It’s great that they are restoring it. The chandelier is spectacular. ⭐️🇦🇺 So I am assuming that date took place about 1954.
Hey Dianne, well Marilyn and Joe got married on January 14th, 1954. It was on their honeymoon that they visited. In case you didn't know it already, Dianne. Xx
I'm a big Marilyn Monroe fan, not an expert, but I know more than average.
thank you sir fr. The video nice scene in hollywood.GOD BLESS alhamdulilla
It sucks that All American Burger from Fast Times At Ridgemont High is permanently closed, that would have been great to have it in this new movie. Sure love this vlog Mike! And I will watch for your new one that you've been working really hard on
welcome to Hollywood all love you friend from east of Atlanta
We just watched Maxxxine! Loved coming back to confirm that’s what you saw being filmed! 🎉
Thanks for showing the real Hollywood. Sad what it's become. I always wanted to go and just see it as a kid buy now I have no desire to do so.
When i was a kid in the 90s i always dream to go to america but now it's in decline so much it really sad. Now i would not want to go there anymore
Go
These days there are better places
Great Vlog GIV. Thanks heaps.
You killed me with PopeYes.😝
This was fun, thanks GIV! 😁😁😎😎👍👍
4:15 While you say "I can't really tell who is in the movie" you zoomed on Bobby Cannavale (the guy in that brown jacket and necktie) who is a pretty famous actor. So now we know that he is in that movie.
I know what they’re filming just by seeing Mia Goth there. They’re filming the new movie Maxixxine. The sequel to the horror film Pearl.
I saw actor Bobby Cannavale as well. Cool!
I love when they turn the city back a few years. I was living there when they did once upon a Time in Hollywood. It was so great to walk up and down and see the 60s come to life. Thank you for this cool video.
That was nice! never seen the inside of Mann's theater. Sad to see LA in such a run down state and homeless everywhere. It used to be a very nice place back in the 70's and 80's.
Hello from Laredo Tx good video thank you for sharing G.I.V. stay safe .
They weren’t filming Joker 2, they were filming Maxxxine which is the third installment of the X franchise. Mia Goth is the lead and Bobby Canivale is tied to it as well. Great video! Big love from Canada!
Yeah you can see Mia for a sec in the alley way
@@LivingDeadDetroiter313 And Bobby too
it’s Popeyes, like Popeye the sailor man.
We have those in the ghettos in milwaukee.
That was hilarious! Never thought of it as Pope yes.
I like Pope Yes much better
He lives in a frying pan! He turns on the gas, and burns off his ass! He's Popeye the sailor man! I learned that one in 1967.
You can't get bored on Hollywood Blvd. I used to hang out around there during my teenage years. It was always fun (sort of sleazy, but fun).
I wish you could do a video tour around Mulholland drive and show us some of the David Lynch iconic movie locations
Yeah me too ..countless trips w mom in the 60s when she drove those curves like a maniac in her new vw bug
Damn man how cool , thx for showing everything.
I appreciate you showing the real gritty parts of LA whiteout making some judgmental commentary…I wish some other UA-camrs would so the same when showing certain areas
Seeing the cars and Vincent Price star was enough for me ❤
I saw you last two days in the TV ❤
Thank you for the travel .Nice to meet you ..
On 4:16 I recognized Bobby Cannavale. Maybe that might give you an idea of what movie they might be filming. Thanks for the amazing videos !!!
I thought I noticed him too! Searched his name and I think the movie being filmed is Maxxxine. The lady at 4:35 looks like the lady listed on the cast of the movie too.
thanks for taking us around hollywood blvd, giv
love it Mike! Gotta say it’s pop-eyes like the cartoon not Pope yes
Sorry to disappoint but most likely *no Joker 2* shooting. I am pretty sure the guy with the 80s suit and tie standing there across the street at 4:20 and at 4:35 on the right side just behind the car is actor *Bobby Cannavale* . The movie they are shooting therefore is *MaXXXine* . This is what IMDB has to say about it: "Follows Maxine, who was the only survivor of the bloody incidents of X, as she continues her journey towards fame to be an actress in 1980s Los Angeles. -The third part of the X trilogy, after X (2022) , and Pearl (2022)." Takes place in L.A. in 1985. Other actors are Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Mia Goth, Lily Collins, Michelle Monaghan, Kevin Bacon... Never heard about the first two movies. 😉Just googled them. X is a Slasher movie taking part in 1979... and Pearl plays in 1918, the Spanish Flu is raging but Pearl who lives with her religious German mother wants to be a dancer... And we all know by now that Maxine is an adult actress.
Thanks
🎉 Thanks 🙏 for the video bro 🎉... JJ... Jonjon...
That is Bobby Cannavale @4:16. He’s filming a movie called MaXxxine which indeed takes place in the 80’s.
Another great and at times very funny video mike !
I prefer to see Germany.
Great Job!!!!!!
Thank You!!!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I went there in 2018, as someone who loves movies and been a movie editor for a few years in the Netherlands, It was my dream to see Hollywood one day, just to visit, not working there. My gods what a massive let down that was. The smell of that place was horrible and we learned that Hollywood actually is filled with homeless people who live on the streets there and well they need to do their bio breaks somewhere. Only when there is a event they clean the whole place up and pretend it's all glamour. It's really sad to realize that when there is a event, all these homeless people are pushed away to make room for the rich and famous for the day and then the next day Hollywood goes from glamour to be a toilet again.
Keep voting Democrat. Every city, every state, hell the country is run by them now. Gotta love it
All of California is a toilet
@@kaudsizno I sure as hell don’t
Thanks for taking me along, I can’t wait for the next one.
This is a great tour! Thank you! Danke!
