@@simont1299 was just about to say that, beat me by a few days. The Big Steal is on there too, had to watch it after seeing its location video from this channel as well. Now off to watch Malcolm, looks like a classic, can't believe I've never seen it.
I watched this on tv on sbs a week ago. Never seen it before but my mum noticed it. 😂loved the cars but these old movies never do them jutisce😂. The rubbish bin and car spit scene were amazing
It sure was, there was plenty of work, you could live well, rents were affordable, I had a unit in George Street, East Melbourne behind the M.C.G.

As a huge fan of 'Malcolm', I made the pilgrimage, if you like, to Napoleon Street in 2012 and Malcolm's house had just been torn down to make way for the apartments that now stand. I was stunned to see that most of what's in the film was still there after so many years. It's such a working-class area of Melbourne with so much character. You covered a lot more ground than I did and it was great to see literally every location as it exists today.
I keep coming back to this. I love Malcolm the movie. I was a tram buff as a kid (secretly still am). Iconic movie. Thanks for doing this. I request 10 yearly updates please.
One of my three favourite Australian films. The Castle, Kenny, and MALCOLM. As a Pom, I find Australian filmss uniquely quirky in a really good way. Malcolm is the ultimate socially inept nerd and he plays it so well. The film is creative genius and who ever thought of using the telephone ring generators used in the music during the hold up in the bank. Can you imagine following that Honda Zot along the road when it splits in two, you would be sworn off drink for the rest of your life .
Whenever I drive on Kings way I always look in the direction where the old tram depot used to be, still an amazing childhood memory and there are still bumps in that section of road on the corner, love it!!!
Malcolm, one of my all time favourite films and in my mind a thoroughly positive and utterly relateable represention of Autism, acceptance and spot on humour. It's a story I strongly relate to on my own journey of Neurodiversity over the last 40 years.
Imagine my surprise when i bought the official Malcolm blu ray and found this exact video included on it! Its a testament to your great work, well done and thanks
@@PaulHagl ooh ooh that makes me very happy. I will go search for them. I just watched a screening of Death in Brunswick (for the 1st time) last night and would love to watch the other films you mentioned. Thank you Paul for all the Fantastic detailed work you do.
Watched Malcom again last night, now on netflix! How Melbourne has changed. Inside the homes and out. Must get to the collingwood pub for beer when it warms up again. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Paul! SUBBED!
Wow, thanks so much for that, so much to love about this film, Colin and John both great actors, in 2020 it feels like opening a time capsule looking back at the 80s. I remember reading some years ago that the house malcom lived had a couple of old guys living in it and it was feral. It was basically only used for the outside scenes and internals were on a set. Visited Melbourne 2 weeks ago, chatted to a driver of the city circle tram and was devastated to learn that he didn’t think the tram car restaurant would ever be running again. Thanks again for your effort, just let excellent. No I have to finish watching Malcom, yes , I was watching it , got curious about locations, paused the film, found your film etc.
Just the video I was looking for, I thought it would be a long shot but you made an A grade effort on the location scout and retrospective review, A class!
I reemember this film, one of my favourite back in the 80s, at the time I did not even know it was an Australian film, filmed in Melbourne. I have visited Melbourne once in April 2019, and I actually walk past that getaway alley in Bourke Street, not knowing it was a filming location.
I cannot remember how it was that I came to be watching this all those years ago. What I do remember was being totally absorbed into watching it and how a good story topic was being told a different way. A brilliant film.
Dear Paul What an outstanding little film! It is a worthy successor to the film "Malcolm" itself. Melbourne itself is one of the stars of this movie as far as I am concerned. I worked as a part time security officer driving around some of the locations at night whilst trying to make ends meet at uni-some viewers might recall the "Wormald Security" or 'MSS" signs that used to be outisde just about every warehouse. I got to know some of those little lanes, footpaths, and bridges pretty well. "Malcolm" is such a sweet film-the other film that springs to mind made around that time is, of course "Spotswood" Cheers and thankyou very much for bringing back some nice memories!
Great video, I was 15 years old when Malcolm was shown in the cinema, I loved it, back then I can clearly remember fish and chip shops you'd go to that were usually run by Greeks, the standard brick colour of those buildings, the music, I grew up in the northern suburbs at that time and in the new estates that were going up you'd have lots of vacant land, it was a welcoming sight to walk across those vacant blocks to the local fish and chip shop with your mates to get food, so long as you had money for food and smokes, somehow the whole world seemed ok.
This is absolutely delightful! I've lived in Abbotsford for years and I work as a driver all around this area every day. I must rewatch the movie again.
What a superb video. Back in either the late 80s or early 90s Channel 4 here in the UK ran a series of Australian/New Zealand films. That's when I got my love of Aussie films and Malcolm is my favourite. Don't know what it is about it, it's just a really good film. Thanks 👍
This was awesome, love Malcolm. Had been to the street where the house was, a pity the house is gone but at least there is still original buildings in place. Can't wait to check out the overpass at Latrobe, looked for ot a while back to no avail. PS, watched Spotswood last night, thar would be a good one to do though locations a little harder to find. Thanks, loving this channel ❤️
I rented this video in DVD back in mid 2000's from my local video rentals store in a western Sydney suburb. Thanks for this video clip, mate. You've done a fine job.
Lucky enough to see this when it 1st came out and love it just as much now as i did back then, excellent cast, story, OST and locations. 10/10. Great to see all the then and now too. Cheers.
Very interesting indeed to see the locations involved then and now. A quite memorable quirky film, one that sticks in the mind! Thanks for the effort to compile this.
Just for clarification...Malcolm the chracter wasn't 'dumb' or just nerdy and a brilliant engineer. He was Autistic, just like me 😊 My obsession and passions are nature, jumping spiders and history. I love Malcolm, one of my favourite films
Thank you for posting this also one of my favourite Australian movie. the movie is real treasure Vault of 1980s. I highly recommend this movie to the new generation to watch it's a real gem.
What a wonderful movie, one of the first movies i ever saw at the cinema when i was 10. To this day remains in my top 5, honourable mention goes to penguin cafe orchestra for the equally amazing soundtrack. This is a really nice vid, nice job
Malcolm is one of my all time favourite flicks and definitely my favourite Aussie movie. I first watched it as a kid, and I still chuck it on every now and again. I remember seeing the Honda getaway car in action at the Moomba parade in the 80s, and later in life I worked at 628 Bourke St near Langs Lane. I'd be surprised if the getaway scooters didn't get any scrapes when they went down the laneway - would've been like threading the eye of a needle with that extra bodywork.
A great film indeed and this video is great work. Must have taken a lot of time and effort. Much appreciated thank you. I’m from Wales, U.K. and this has made me want to return to MEL soon as we can. Cheers
We used to have one of those Melbourne "Trams" here in Seattle I used to ride it all the time. Except I call it a trolley and some call it a streetcar.
I’ve seen that movie in Hoyts Cinema in George St. Sydney back in 86’ . That yellow car was parked outside the cinema, it has smokey two stroke engine like lawn mower.. Good movie.
the building next to the art centre was the old ymca building and when they were building the arts centre they had to pall it down due to structural reasons
@falconx150 The Arts Centre then bought that site; had plans to build on it it but never have. The area is used as an outdoor performance area, & is called Testing Grounds. More info on Testing Grounds website. Great pic of the YMCA building there too
Absolutely made my day! Thank you. Awesome Aussie movie. Gave so much promise. A real shame that the filmmakers were lured away to the US. Having seen their other movies -- maybe this was the one real gem they had in them. I was lucky enough to be at a Q&A they conducted at The Cameo cinema in Belgrave a few years ago. The film they were showing was their first Aussie movie in decades. Sometimes it is best not to hear from your heroes.
and now Malcolm, a grin on my face the whole vlog. One of my all time favorites!! And one of the best gadget films out there. The split-car, robots, trams, & remote control cars! The Best! James Bond for the everyman! And what an amazing name your parents gave you Paul, it shows their brillance and insight. Keep em' comin'...wait do I see "The Castle" in your line-up? You're killin' it!
Was such a memorable film for me when I was just a little tacker in Perth. Hard to believe I now live minutes away from a lot of these locations. Had no idea.
I lived in rural NSW in the 80's. I once visited Melbourne during this time and was shocked at how rude and stressed people were. People were beeping their horns all the time.

I smiled liked a loon through that whole clip. What a gem of an Australian movie.
Melbourne was a great city back them. The film Malcolm is a superb and an underrated classic
Just watched it tonight, and I love it. AUSTRALIA RULES!
If it were made nowadays there’s no way his partner would have a girlfriend. It would have to be him with the woman
I'm really glad this was included on the Blu-ray!
I watched this on tv on sbs a week ago. Never seen it before but my mum noticed it. 😂loved the cars but these old movies never do them jutisce😂. The rubbish bin and car spit scene were amazing
Melbourne was a fantastic place to live in the 80's.
People were poorer but less aggressive
It sure was, there was plenty of work, you could live well, rents were affordable, I had a unit in George Street, East Melbourne behind the M.C.G.

Never gets the accolades it deserves this movie. Good to see Melbourne back when things were or seemed simpler.
Excellent tribute to a wonderful film.

Same mate, it's very similar to British humour.
@@NoMouthHammocks I think there is a cheekiness in Australian humour which is unique.
Crocodile Dundee showed that.
Whenever I drive on Kings way I always look in the direction where the old tram depot used to be, still an amazing childhood memory and there are still bumps in that section of road on the corner, love it!!!
I just purchased and watched the Sunburnt Screens bluray of MALCOLM and was pleased to see this video is one of many extras included - great work.
Malcolm, one of my all time favourite films and in my mind a thoroughly positive and utterly relateable represention of Autism, acceptance and spot on humour.
It's a story I strongly relate to on my own journey of Neurodiversity over the last 40 years.
So happy i found your channel. As a huge fan of obsure Australian movies its an absolute gold mine!!
Thanks for this wonderful trip down memory lane. I really loved this classic Australian movie! Cheers
The tram exists at the Melbourne Tramway Museum at Bylands

I had it on video vhs and watched it a thousand tines as a kid never seen it since till I saw this you tube
I really enjoyed this film.
So much changes over time and we hardly notice until nothing is recognisable.

For Melbourne in the 60's and 70's, watch re - runs of 'Homicide'. A great insight into an even earlier, more traditional Melbourne.

“The past is a foreign country”

First time I ever saw Colin Friels in a movie. Was knocked over when I saw him interviewed sharp and intelligent in real life.
I once heard a line about how someone has to be pretty smart to convincingly act really dumb.
Dave Sisson - Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump comes to mind, also.
Just for clarification...Malcolm the chracter wasn't 'dumb' or just nerdy and a brilliant engineer.
He was Autistic, just like me 😊
My obsession and passions are nature, jumping spiders and history.

Has anybody else noticed the infamous Dennis Allen "Mr death" beaten up van in the background? Was used to dispose of human carcasses
This is great awesome work mate
Well presented really enjoying these trips down memory lane.👍
Top video man -i love this series
Loved this!

I actually forgot about this movie and its been about 30yrs since I've watched it.
Great work !
Penguin Cafe Orchestra deserved a shout out in the video!
Nice, even an old blue Harris train on the film too. Malcolm is a corker of a film.
Thankyou for making this!
Nick Hoare Thanks for watching.
Very sad that the house Malcolm lived in has gone.
Was such a memorable film for me when I was just a little tacker in Perth. Hard to believe I now live minutes away from a lot of these locations. Had no idea.
One of my favorite movies
Great film, great hommage, great geography lesson...
Another great video mate keep up the good work. Very well edited
I live near a whole heap of these locations and didn't realise they were in Malcolm. Love the movie. Going to have to go to William Angliss.
I lived in rural NSW in the 80's. I once visited Melbourne during this time and was shocked at how rude and stressed people were. People were beeping their horns all the time. One bloke flipped the middle finger at me.
I was walking down a street when some geezer went crook over something so trivial, I can't even remember what it was.
I couldn't hit the road north back to the country soon enough.
That’s nice.

Some improvements are welcome.
But Not all.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
thanks for sharing ...its a great film
9:28 ha! Thats the old Optus building! I used to work in there before the current renovations
Also filmed in Carlton.
Such a brilliant film! :)
