It's clear that it means a lot to you and you come across as a sound, likeable bloke, respectful of the places you visit. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication in producing this.

    What is so cool is that, in S4:E8 “Party Time” of Cobra Kai, Silver surprises Kreese by bringing him back to the original Cobra Kai dojo from the 1985 Karate Kid movie. He said “It’s been a long time since this place has been a dojo. They’re putting it up for sale. I think it was a candle shop.” 😲 I was excited and in awe when you mentioned at 11:02 that the original Cobra Kai dojo location is actually a candle shop! 😮

    The best part of this video was Michael saying "You get one life. Once chance to live it, and your never gonna get this chance again. So just do it." I think one of the reasons I enjoy these videos so much is a chance to see and experience things that I would never have been able to.

    We were able to get inside through the side gate as a young couple was exiting at the moment we got there. They let us in happily and said they get asked several times a week but they enjoy that people love it so much. Great video!

    Whenever I see how much things have changed since the 80's, I feel extremely sad inside. It's everything, too. Last year I was doing a video tour of the day camp I went to back in the late 80s and early 90s. I actually filmed the swimming pool, and noticed that there is no more deep end. Deep ends and diving boards are a thing of the past. Girls join boy scouts now, and people txt instead of holding conversations. I find myself lost in this new modern world, and generally just surround myself with 80s and 90s pop culture. It's the only place I feel alive anymore. Good video, Mr Grimmlifecollective.

The entrance to Miyagi's apartment was where the white van is parked. The gated off walkway was still a walkway (although not gated) in the movie. Daniel walks down it when he is first looking for Miyagi.

    • @chuckfan1
      @chuckfan1 6 місяців тому +1

      Umm not really
      For almost all locations that are homes, the interior is almost always a set.
      Typically one of the only times they will use a homes interior if it's the pilot. If the show gets picked up, they will then film all that on a set. With the set "house interior" modeled after the real life home, with slight modifications
      Nothings changed as far as homes
      And again, nothing has changed as far as buildings , schools etc.
      Since those locations are typically unique, to the productions requirements they will film inside , as in Karate Kid, the championship
      Or, with schools, a lot of times they will use the exterior of one school and the interior of another, for the same school
      Example of this would be Grease.
      And yes, I work in Locations in the biz

    Many years ago when I was still living with my folks, we took a family vacation to Cali. We were just cruising down the street and I saw Golf N Stuff and recognized it from the movie. So I told my dad to pull over so I could take some pics. This was just a few years after it was released. And the water slide was still there. It's so weird to be traveling and then all of a sudden realize that you are amongst the scenery of a classic movie without even intentionally trying to be there. We were driving through Astoria, Oregon one time years back and I didnt at the time know that much of the Goonies was filmed in Astoria. So I was looking around, and I began to recognize the area. I was thinking, "this place looks really familiar". And then I realized that I was right there in the "Goondocks". Now that was surreal. :)

    I remember ditching school to go on a date to Golf n' stuff (when the water slide was still there), and I remember geeking out because it felt like I was in the movie! It was soo expensive to play in that arcade, but it was definitely worth visiting.
    I always wanted to ride the water slide but it was closed each time I went. I guess that's a good thing though, I heard that there were a lot of accidents and a few fatalities on that slide, which is probably why they had to take it down. I did get to go on the bumper boats eventually and that was AMAZING! I appreciate your appreciation of all the locations you visit, thanks for doing what you do. It is so enjoyable to watch.

Just awesome and so much fun to have these nostalgic trips down memory lane!! Thanks again for sharing!!!

    I want you to know that you did teach me something...It wasn't anything about the Karate Kid..that was one of my favorite movies back in the day...but it was something much more important...when you said that nothing was promised, and we only get one chance to live our life and to just do it....I am now 52 years old and a lot of things have happened over the last 4 years, to where, I've pretty much stopped living. But when you said all that...something about it woke me up...Thank you so very much for that inspiration...It's time I got up and started living because you are right...we don't get to do it over...Thank you so much for that...thank you for your videos...and thank you for being you...You and Jessica ROCK!!! Much love to you both...:)

    This was so well put together, and not in an offensive 'know it all' kind of way. I saw Karate kid as a teenager (49 now) and it was great to see so many recognisable spots from the movie, with your assistance of course. You are both such fun and genuinley likable people it was so lovely spending this time with you both. And that is just what it felt like, hanging out with friends.
    On another note, my god are you two couples goals or what!?!?! Spectacular work all round. New subscriber from South Australia.

    Miyagi didn't live in the apartment building. He just had his workshop there, since he was the super. But his house was where the dojo was. Also, the entry to the workshop wasn't the side entrance to the building, that is clear in the images, the entrance to the building is still visible in the movie and is even used during the filming.

    • @marcussmith4913

      I always thought he might be cooking meth back there and selling it to the highschool kids. Thats why he had Danniel sign up for that Karate tourney. Miyaga was selling product at all these Karate tournaments. It wasn't very clear in the script but I think this is a very likely sub plot to the movie.

    I've lost count how many times I've watched that wonderful movie. I like it because shows the true side of Karate. Yes it is a form of defence but the true side is sprite and only useing it when you have too.
    I'll have to look through my subs and there's a channel that teaches self defence or you can look though my subs and find it.
    I've had 14 yrs Judo/Karate, & 26 yrs in the Army. It was funny when I had to go do the self defence course in basic training. There was a Drill Sargent with an attitude 😃😂😁
    I let him throw me a few times & I acted 'stupid' duh....Of course Drill 'boy' screamed at me even after I told him not too, he kept doing it so I wiped the floor with him, not bragging, I did it in a way to teach him a lesson. Of course he didn't take the hint & when he came with his stick thingie I broke it in half and said to never yell at me again. He never did, neighter did the other Drills. If they did I didn't shoot & hit anything.
    I was a Drill Sargent for 7 years and NEVER screamed or yelled at my troopies, and I treated them with respect, which in turn I got back, and it always paid off. No body messed with them or they messed with me and I loved everyone of them. They knew self defence after they got out of basic but they knew the sprite side of it too.
    Thank you for the video. You showed the sprite side of Karate. Only use it if there is no other way to go. 🤘👻💖
