License to drive has always been one of my favorites People who haven’t seen it probably think it’s a lame 2 Coreys movie but it’s actually a really funny 80s comedy adventure. “Les! It’s me Papa!” 😃😂😅
@@dirtyglovekennels616 Think he means that people not familiar with the film may think of it as just another lame film starring the 2 Corey's (Haim and Feldman) that were so popular in the late 80's.
I actually went to Walter Reed Middle School back in'97. And I remember when they were filming Good Burger just a few blocks away from the school. A few friends and I passed by the film location when walking home. I also used to live close to the Baxter st hill in the early 90s. Off Lakeshore dr. We used to take the 2 freeway often and pass by that street. Back to Walter Reed, they used to film the outside of the school often and I believe the show 7th Heaven used it as the outside of the school. Love this flick myself as well. By the way, nice Thrilla Shirt!
That's right I remember seeing it the drive in when it first opened wow I Love this all time greatest classic movie I'm a big fan of Corey Feldman and Corey Haim I'm a 1980s kid I miss the classic 80s for ever ice Man south central la
What an incredible documentation of these locations. I'll never get to visit them myself but I had a tumultuous childhood where movies were my only friend and I watched this movie 2 or 3 times a week for years. Thank you for this!
License to drive is the most classic movie of all time I have this VCR tape I had it since the 90s I can’t get enough of this movie you did a good job on the locations
License to Drive is easily one of my favorite 80's movies along with Mannequin, Weekend at Bernies, Like Father Like Son, Money Pit, and about 30 other titles I don't have room to type. I love the 80's 👍 "WES ITS ME PAPA!" So glad you put that in the video 🤣🤣
Great 80s flick. Saw this with friends in Westwood in ye olden days. This is the kind of film that really matters to you at that age, not the big blockbusters. It's the kind of film you can relate to. The following year I learned to drive and this film often came to mind. It resonated. I still love it.
Great job finding locations. If I lived in California this is what I would be doing. License to Drive is still hilarious, holds up great. One of my favorites.
This movie is so underrated it's criminal! One of my favs and you nailed it.. 100%! And all of us in our 40's know the name "Mercedes Lane".. real ones know! Great job Kurt this was amazing I have no idea how I never came across this on your channel before.
Thank you so much for posting this!! This was one of many movies my brother and I were obsessed with in the late 80's/early 90's. Me, because I thought the Corey's were cute. And him, because he loved the "action scenes." We watched it over and over and over. (He was 6 and I was a preteen, so cut us some slack! Lol.) At any rate, I randomly found it on TV tonight and decided to watch it for nostalgia sake. I hadn't seen a scene of this movie in over 30 years! Imagine my complete and utter surprise during the reverse car driving scene, because I knew instantly where the location was!! I quickly jumped on the internet and your video confirmed it for me. The building where I work today is on that street! I pass all of those buildings everyday. Yes, I live in Los Angeles now, so something like this is bound to happen, but this completely blows my mind and now I will think of this movie everyday when I go to work. LOL! And, I can't wait to tell my brother!
The chase with the drunk was the most hilarious part of the whole movie. The Frank Sinatra music made it even funnier. Even though I really hated seeing that beautiful Cadillac get destroyed, that was the most I ever laughed at a car chase.
Really enjoyed this new updated version! Out of all the location videos you have done, this movie has the most locations that are still intact. This was great fun. This film makes me remember how exciting childhood once was. Heather Graham was damn hot in this 🥵 Also it’s so sad how Corey Haim suffered through the years. I will always love this movie.
License to drive is easily in my top 5 favorite movies growing up! It's my favorite Corey Haim film for sure! Every element about That movie is hilarious! I don't care who you are! Don't make em like this anymore unfortunately..... R.I.P. -Corey Haim-💐 I'm diggin the content man! Keep it up! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Great film. I was a big fan of the two Corey's as a kid growing up in the 80's. Haven't seen it in a long time though. I think I'll check on UA-cam while I'm here and see if someone has uploaded it. Great job bro. 👍
I watched this movie over and over again when I was 15 in anticipation of getting my drivers license. One of my all time favorites! Your videos are awesome, subbed.
Awesome job. It’s one of my favorite movies that you just can’t find except of course Amazon. But they make you rent it. I too grew up in the 80s and this brings backmemories
Great follow up mate!! Cool to see so many houses still the same ! .. haha awesome to see me first and the gimme gimmes playin the venue while u were filming there!!
Absolutely amazing how those houses have gone virtually unchanged in more than 35 years good video and one of my favorite 80's movies. I know you tend to only do locations of movies in California but one of my all-time 80's movies is "The Wraith" Filmed on location in Arizona i would love to see one of you location videos from the wraith.
Hi Kurt! thank you so much for creating this channel! I love it! I've gone down the rabbit hole with watching all your videos especially your filming location. They're all so awesome! great job! and keep it up! Can you do a filming location for The Wild Life, Just One Of The Guys and My Science Project?
I’m with you that this is probly my fav movie of all time. Excellent job. Side note: I love how you also talk about the movie and what was happening and add your own thoughts on it etc. Really fun stuff.
The amount of effort, research, and editing is evident in your videos. That's why I'm subscribed. I'm 49 and boy do I miss the 80's. I for one VERY much appreciate the work you put in. Unrelated but another favorite two Corey's movie = Did they ever develop (tear down) grandpa's house from Lost Boys? How far is it from you?
Thank you! I really put a lot into this one. I always put a lot, but a little more on this one. Lost Boys is another one of my all time favorites. His house is still standing. I will of course eventually do a video on it. It's about 6 hours away
I was 16 in 1988 and this movie is very special because it’s the first movie I got to drive to on my own so thanks so much for all the work you did going to all the locations.
My all time favorite Corey Haim movie! I didn’t get to see it in the theaters but when it came out on VHS 2 days before Christmas 88 my brother rented it so I could watch it. The following summer (89) I bought my own copy which I still have to this day! I never get tired of watching this movie! I made my mom watch it sometime in the 90s and she liked it. She couldnt stop laughing at the drunk guy when he said “What airline is this?!” 😂😂
I wondered why you said you were deleting the previous video lol, great work as always! One of my favourite 80's movies! Merry Christmas to you & the family 🎅🎄🎁
I was just about to say.. hasn't Kurt already uploaded this one..this is ace just watched it all, I love this film, I may give it a watch later tbh. Great locations and you get every detail also which I love. Have a well earned Xmas break and look forward to more in the new year. Happy Xmas Kurt
@@80sLife if I was living in la I'd be filming locations all my free time I could, it's the film capital of the world imo. But we do have some amazing films made here In the uk also 😊 can't wait for your next uploads
I really appreciate the amount of work that goes into doing this. It was fantastic to see a now and then of all the locations!! Great detective work and keep up the awesome job. Thanks!
I've seen the original ending just recently here on YT, and am SOO grateful that they changed it to include the drunk driver, dude was hilarious! The OG ending with Les in the bar was too drawn out and unfunny in my opinion and just completely slows the movie down. Thank you for this detailed video showing the locations! May sound weird, but I find something very comforting about knowing that many of the filming locations of my favorite childhood films still look the same today. (It gives a similar nostalgic feel as driving past the neighborhood i grew up in does) Wish you had shown the location where Les's dad is angrily stranded with the boxes of diapers, lol. This was really cool, License to drive was my favorite movie as a 6 year old in 88, and it still holds up to this day.
Your Channel is awesome. Thank you for all of your hard work. Truly a gift to all of us 80’s kids. I haven’t looked through all your videos but have you done “Last American Virgin”?
Love your channel my man! Especially the San Fernando Valley locations, since I grew up there too. Lots of good memories! I think a good movie for filiming locations is the movie Falling down. All filmed in LA and a classic in my eyes 👍
I love your videos man. I'm 36 but we have identical tastes. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned to you a million times in your videos or not, but you have an almost identical voice to Norm Macdonald. Which is awesome, but i'm sure you've been told that before. Anyway keep up the great videos.
Great job on this. I went to high school down the street from the shakeys and the Coreys came down and hung out with us at our lunch break. That shakeys was less than a block to apartment building in karate kid too
Thanks for the update, Kurt - That alternate scene may explain why, in a few scenes, the Caddy has a different license plate; a blue one with the number "BDR 529" (same as the Bluesmobile!).
This came out right when I was in drivers Ed. What perfect timing. Around this time, another movie “moving violations” also came out. Anther funny movie, 80’s style.

*"People are the problem... THEY WANT TO PUSH ME AROUND!"*
It's one of the best
@@80sLife heard on one of your videos you said you had a 73 Malibu. That was my first car. I bought one in 1992 when I was in high school.
What is a lame 2 Corey movie? I'm pretty sure that don't exist.

I was once Les, now I’m papa. Time flies!
Haha, right??
Same. It's crazy because I still feel like Les at almost 50.
One of my favourite 80s movies. I rented this repeatedly on VHS when I was a kid. I'm still waiting for a UK Blu-ray release. 😂
One of the best! Thank you for watching

Thank you so much!! I have done that one 😁
Love your channel my man! Especially the San Fernando Valley locations, since I grew up there too. Lots of good memories!
I think a good movie for filiming locations is the movie Falling down. All filmed in LA and a classic in my eyes 👍
Very cool video man. Love your location videos.
This is one of your best location videos to date! Great job Kurt 👏👏👍👍

Yes a lot.. but only in youtube. I was never told that before youtube. Thank you so much for watching. Lots more on the way
Always such a concise then & now video 👍
Great job on this. I went to high school down the street from the shakeys and the Coreys came down and hung out with us at our lunch break. That shakeys was less than a block to apartment building in karate kid too

One of my absolute favorite movies as a kid... I always wanted to be Les or Zack Morris.... oh well... lol great job...

Great job on the video! I love this movie. IT's great 80s fun and it started my star crush on Heather Graham.
This came out right when I was in drivers Ed. What perfect timing. Around this time, another movie “moving violations” also came out. Anther funny movie, 80’s style.
