I grew up there when they filmed this. I remember them filming at the Old Northeast Shopping Center because we shopped at that Publix. I love that the McCrorys sign is still there on the Snell Arcade.
I remember going over there when they were filming to get a glimpse of the crew and stuff. We got to see them filming a few scenes from across the parking lot. :)
Those glass pavers in front of Snell Arcade have lights underneath. Sometimes they get turned on in the evenings. Very pretty reminder of the early 20th century style.
cocoon was always one of my favorites movies when i was a kid in the 80's - For the longest time I always had a theory that it was secretly written by Rod sterling as it could have easily passed for a 2 hour long episode of the twilight zone- thats just my opinion. REgardless great movie and a great youtube video- Thanks
Nice job @thatfloridaman. Don't think I need a hearing aid yet, but you may want to give the proper verbal name recognition to the actors... Don Ameche (pronounced with long e - Am-E-ch-E) and Wilfred Brimley (pronounced with a short i Br-I-mley)
Hey if you want to do a follow up to this video I can show you a few other spots where they filmed. I was born here in st Pete and my mom drove by some spots while they were filming.
Other movies made here, Lethal Weapon 3. Boat scene at night. Clearwater Beach Marina. I was there and had no idea why everyone was around the marina. Watched that being filmed. Happened to just be there in 92. Summer rental. St Pete Punisher was filmed at Honeymoon Island and the opening scene is made to look like a house but they are the bathrooms which the production crew painted them from a light gray to color they are now. Also Ft Desoto park pier is one of the main scenes 3 men and a baby. Don Cesar Edward scissorhands was Hillborough County. The neighborhood was painted all bright colors. Lakeland. Land o lakes. Lutz. Wesley chappel. Dade city.
This is for the record you know people when you real Soul means you're one of the most pure humans 💞 I'm asleep because I push myself but when I'm bormI might have problem with mep I never get tired I never get sick 🤢 I can be four days without sleep and nothing happened to me
Great job That Florida Man! Next I’d like to see the film spots for the movie Spring Breakers. ✌🏽but you need do dress up like James Franco’s character.
I live directly across from the pool house location on Park street... lol. They offered money to park their big rig filming truck in our front yard until they found a bigger yard down the street. Fun fact... they even relandscaped their front yard for the use of it.
I can work all day 24 hours and go to sleep at 2:00 easy and wake up at 5:00 and I'm feeling strong shine gorgeous I don't feel any kid die or something like that
My late brother, Rod, was the actual Captain of the boat (Manta III) that was used in this movie. We still have the life ring somewhere....
Sorry for your loss. This film must have special significance to you because of his boat. ♥ & 🙏
What year model was the boat the manta 3??
@@shawnaburns5158 I don't know. He didn't own the boat, he was hired to run it.

The old Publix at NE Shopping Center is where my mother always shopped from the 1950's all the way until 2000. We lived in nearby Allendale.
I loved the cocoon movies and the score by James Horner. Thanks for sharing. I'm an Aussie fan.
The Woolworth they filmed was in the old NE shopping center at 38th Ave N and 4th St N. It's now an Office Depot.
Nice job!!! I really liked seeing inside the Coliseum

There are offices down there. Skylights for the basement.
Hey man. Thanks for making this!!

Too funny, I was just in the Snell Arcade a few days ago. I had no idea!
Thank you from Munich in GOOD OLD GERMANY ❤

Can't tell you how many times I went fishing off the causeway in that same area as Wilford Brimley.
I visited Florida in 1989! Went to Kissimmee and redington beach in longboat key!
Maybe do a video on "The Punisher" and "Summer Rental"
Would be great if you could put before vs today side by side for like 3 or 4 seconds
Very nice shirt
Thank you! It’s is one of my favorite RSVLTS shirts.
pretty cool.
I thought the last scene where they escaped was filmed at the Gulfport Casino?

It's Don Amiche, not Amache
He's not even pronouncing the name "Wilford Brimley" correctly.
What drone do you use?
DJI Mini 3 Pro

Don Ameci "UH ME CHEE". Wilford "BRIM LEE" Good job!
You skipped the NE Shopping Center that has been totally remodeled since.
That's Don Ameche
I can work all day 24 hours and go to sleep at 2:00 easy and wake up at 5:00 and I'm feeling strong shine gorgeous I don't feel any kid die or something like that
And I hear noise other people not hearing
My mom had to give me tea for go to sleep when I was a child
Yes, his camera. Not his phone.
You mean Don “Ah mee chee”
Just fyi, Ameche is pronounced "uh-MEE-chee." Not "uh MA chee."
And it's Wilfred BRIM-ley. Not Brumley.
Part of my babies it's in the awesome waiting for baby borns
