E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (or simply E.T.) is a 1982 American science fiction film produced and directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Melissa Mathison. It tells the story of Elliott, a boy who befriends an extraterrestrial, dubbed E.T., who is left behind on Earth. Along with his friends and family, Elliott must find a way to help E.T. find his way home. The film stars Dee Wallace, Henry Thomas, Peter Coyote, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore.
Principal photography began in neighborhoods in Los Angeles County and in the San Fernando Valley on September 8, 1981. The project was filmed under the cover name A Boy's Life, as Spielberg did not want anyone to discover and plagiarize the plot. The actors had to read the script behind closed doors, and everyone on set had to wear an ID card. The shoot began with two days at Culver City High School, and the crew spent the next 11 days moving between locations at Northridge and Tujunga. The next 42 days were spent at Laird International Studios in Culver City for the interiors of Elliott's home. The crew shot at a redwood forest near Crescent City in Northern California for the production's last six days. The exterior Halloween scene and the "flying bicycle" chase scenes were filmed in Porter Ranch.
The view from Elliot’s POV was a stroke of genius. Really really loved that
Thank you so much!! I was actually kinda proud of that.
@@80sLife Im sure you get a lot of suggestions, so heres another lol.. Somehow ended up on CZcams watching Return of Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman reunion movie. Seems like it was a TV movie... started watching it... and a lot was filmed in Long Beach, Shoreline Village. A couple of the locations are listed on IMDB.. I found a couple while watching, so not a lot of locations, and some I couldnt pin point.. The hospital was hard to match up, but I think I lined it up
This channel deserves 100x the subs and views.
I totally agree, it was great and a really cool addition to this video. Music was spot on too.
That was monumental. Emotional !
It's amazing to see that in 40 years the biggest difference is bigger and more trees! Everything else is pretty much as it was.
I think the neighborhood looked much better back then..But of course it was brand new back then.
I wonder how many people have made the pilgrimage to Porter Ranch from around the world to see these mythic film locations. The characters were so personable and kind. ET is one of the greatest films ever made.
Probably thousands by now
i grew up across the street from Porter Ranch Park, which everyone locally just calls E.T. Park, and I would always see people taking photos around the caterpillar playground pretty much every week for like 20 years that i lived there. even now, when i go visit my parents, I still see people doing it.
@@rawkusrex for real! I grew up in the area as well and honestly I never even knew it had a name besides ET Park. I remember going there to fly kites as a kid, and then to drink beer as a teenager.
@@markjoseph1184 drinking beers as a teenager was like a rite of passage or something when it came to that park for some reason.
as someone who grew up in granada hills since the 90s, ET was always sort of a claim to fame when it came to showing off my neighborhood to my friends. but i only really knew about the flying scene on white oak. i did not realize how much of the film was shot out here. all those streets are so familiar to me and seeing some of these homes being built is a real nostalgic. thanks for this. i always like seeing the history of my neighborhood/city.
“What do I gotta do for the entire box? 😂😂😂
"Hey you, come here for a second." Lol
🤣🤣🤣 couldn't stop laughing at that part
Once again I'm blown away by your attention to detail and ability to wrap it all up in an entertaining and heart-felt way. In these times you're a beacon of hope in a maelstrom of despair, Kurt.
Peace be with you.
Excellent job matching up the shots! I lived in Porter Ranch from 1965 (when it was brand new) until 1977 at 11253 Garden Grove Ave. just south of Rinaldi St. and east of Reseda Blvd. From 11:09-11:12, the tall mountain in the background is Mission Peak. from 14:58-15:03, again Mission Peak is seen in the background. I would hike up there frequently as a kid. We would call it the three trees, because there were three large trees a little below the peak. In the rainy season there would be a pond there, and my friend and I would bring wood up there to build a little raft to go on the pond. The elevation of Mission Peak is 2,771 feet. Your Vlog stoked a lot of great childhood memories, of growing up, and hiking there, thanks!!
totally cool. i'd love to visit these locations but i know that aint gonna happen.
I hike to the top of Mission Peak just about every Saturday and Sunday! Born and raised in Granada Hills/Northridge area. And yes, we always called it three trees as well, for the three oak trees that stand alone up there just below the peak. They are still there. That mountain isn't the biggest but it's no joke if you go at a decent pace. It got me ready for when I hiked Mt Whitney the past two years now, though several months before the big Whitney hike, I DID do much larger hikes/mountains in the area.
@@PeterGenovese So access is till open to go up there. Oat Mtn. is the highest peak in the range at about 3640 elevation. Once in the 70's with some friends we tried hiking up to the snow. the getty people saw us, and promptly escorted us back down in the bed of one of their pick up trucks, and dropped us off at their entrance at Tampa and Sesnon.
In the mid 60's when I was 8 years old, I saw hundreds of sheep grazing in the hills, just north of Rinaldi, and east of Reseda Blvd. Reseda was a dead end, north of Rinaldi, then in late 1973 it was opened up to Sesnon. The sheepherder was a basque man that lived in a trailer in one of the hollows of the hills. On one occasion, he invited me to have lunch with him in his trailer. I packed a lunch, hiked up to his trailer and we had lunch in his trailer. he showed me how the austrailian sheperd dogs rounded up the sheep. In his trailer on a shelf he had a rattle from a rattle snake that he had to kill, and rattled it for me, it must have been a big snake that he killed. the guy was totally cool, and i had a great time visiting with him.
@@carlc5748 Yeah, I've hiked up to the top of Oat Mountain as well. It's a cool hike because you get to go through the old Nike Missile site. I have a video of that experience up on my CZcams channel. Pretty cool to see, especially with all of the very artistic graffiti that covers the walls of the old buildings left behind.
@@PeterGenovese Saw your video at the nike site. We went up there when I was a kid, but not that far up when there was snow there. Did you go up via Browns Cyn. Rd?
YO! Elliots POV was so awesome!!!!
Seen this in the Theater by myself at 11 years old. Mom dropped me off and picked me up.
14:48 Wow that's an awesome view to feel how the kids would have felt as they began their ascent from that street.
That drone shot was breathtaking
I grew up in Tasmania Australia and saw ET in the cinema in 82 , I was 6 years old and I became so emotional at the end that my parents had to carry me out with tears streaming down my face!
Cool to see the locations.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memory
I knew the locations were filmed in Porter Ranch when I was in High School 1987, just learned right now the flying scene was filmed on White Oak "Chatsworth" I've drove that street thousand of times never knew that, Thank you Kurt now I will enjoy that scene when I drive that street.. I really enjoy your videos GREAT JOB!!!!
At Chatsworth...Not IN Chatsworth.
You can imaging your car is taking off and flying. Thank you
That was the best !!! I remember lining up around the Cinerama Dome to see it. I'm sure Spielberg wished they had drones back then, that POV was awesome. 80s4ever.😎
great video , i live in Granada Hills so i drive down white oak all the time and always think about ET when i see the trees , awesome drone shot btw , and there's an ET mural on white oak now
ET brings back a lot of memories from that time.
😁
Sweet!!!!!
E.T. was the first movie I saw in cinema. I was six years old. Thank you, for this nostalgia trip. Greetings from Germany.
loved the cut to the Boy in the Bubble - great work
Your drone shot at the end was awesome! 👍👍
Great job Kurt
Dude this is one of the coolest channels on youtube!
Totally agree 👍
This movie bought both trick or treating and BMX's to the UK audience.
Great Job! The details of your filming location videos always amaze me! Nice run down memory lane! Can't wait to see your next location video 🤩
Love this movie 🍿 I also love all of the actors! Dee and Drew are my faves! I still have a VHS copy LOL 🤣 Thanks Kurt 👍😁
The ET/Elliot point of view shot you did of when they fly pushed your video up to a level that no other ET Location video could match. Brilliant work.
Good video, bro. Love the 80s. I was born in the 70s, raised in the 80s.
Hell. Ya. Way to go man, I've been waiting for this one!
Nice video man.Thankyou for this 40 year anniversary...
Excellent video. Much respect for trying to bike up the side of that hill.
Wow man this was great!!! Never saw these locations before great job!
awesome video
Awesome job... grew up admiring this movie and the scenery so much that I had to move here. Great job
Another excellent Video! Brought back great memories!
Awesome content thanks for your time to do this video your time is great
Man again great video and details ,i loved the added eliot perspective when they fly on their bikes
Great job once again Kurt. Enjoy the bit of extra info you add as well from you growing up around some of your filming locations.
This is my favorite film of all time. Thank you for making a video like this. I simply could never even dream of visiting. For me this is magic.
I said it before!
but you really do a great job of lining up old and new scenes🤙😮
Your from Hawaii ?
Great videos thanks for up loads mate keep them coming.
Excellent as always Kurt Crucial. Very well done Sir!
I remember my grandpa got so mad at us for showing him this movie , because it made him feel emotions
Awesome video 👍
I was born in 84, 2 years after the release. It was one of my favourite movies when I was a kid.
Man even after 40 years most of the places look exactly the same even the homes 🏠
I think they were newly built at the time, hence why most of the trees weren't grown when it was filmed.
Great job on this one Kurt!
I'm near Universal Studios Orlando and love the E.T. ride.
Awesome work Kurt very well done 👍
Wow this was amazingly detailed!! Love this !
Lol Man I swear your sarcasm and brilliant sense of humor makes these great location videos much better 😂😂
Great episode bruh! Thanks a lot. Not a big fan of ET but those are such cool locations.
Ps. I like your bike too
Absolutely fantastic video Kurt. Thank you for taking the time to make it for everyone to enjoy 👍🏻
I remember this Steven Spielberg movie. This is one of my favorite Steven Spielberg movies along with Hook and The BFG.
That drone shot tho!!!!!!
Another amazing location video!
My (then) girlfriend’s family lived right there on White Oak in the 80s. Walked that location several times.
As a huge E.T. fan that has watched probably all the filming locations videos I could find on here, this was one of my faves. Love the drone footage. Also love when you transition back and forth multiple times showing the movie still to the location now back to the still. I hate when filming location videos don’t do that, huge pet peeve haha
i dig your videos. i can tell u really put the effort in, u got that nostalgia excitement like me, and boy, details matter! great job as usual
Thank you so much!! I really do put in the work, I'm glad that comes through. Thank you
I want to go back to the 80's now....I was a kid and such a good time....
So beatiful. Many thanks for this. It bring me a lot of memories of my childhood, when I see E.T. for the first time 👍
Awww 🥰 love this so much! Good job Kurt! 😊
Super cool as always. I really love reminiscing these once in a lifetime movie’s. They don’t make movies like the 80s nowadays🇮🇪 Thanks Kurt
✌
As a kid I always loved Elliott's house and neighborhood especially his backyard, great filming location video, thank u

My first cinema experience was ET in 1982, as wide eyed 9yr old with my mum. Great video re-creation.
Thanks again!! I grew up on this film. The actor that played "Keys" is a friend of my dad's. Peter Coyote.
Hey ho
Ich danke dir so so sehr für deine Location Videos. Für mich, geboren 1973, stellen diese Filme einen wichtigen Teil meiner Kindheit dar, an die ich mich zum Teil mit tiefempfundener Freude, aber auch ergreifender Traurigkeit zurück erinnere.
Deine Videos sind eine Wiederaufführung meiner Kindheit, aus der Sicht eines Erwachsenen.
Ich danke Dir.
Beste Grüße aus Deutschland
I was really pulling for you going up that hill....
Very impressive drone footage at the end. Alf in the basket is just too much 😄
One of my favorite movies. I was about 13 when this came out. Aside from being an awesome movie I always wanted to be one of those kids living in that neighborhood. So awesome to finally see the actual house and surroundings. Thanks for your work.
Born in 1969? me too ET, Raiders of the lost ark, Star Wars, Bond movies, Terminator 1&2 can't even think of them all.
congrats on 40k - the first of many tens of thousands of more subs you deserve - what a great channel bro!
The movie of E.T. was my sister's favorite. Thank you for doing such a awesome job on this video
My pleasure. Thank you!!
One of my all time favorite movies. Thanks for doing this one!
Great job, Kurt! Thanks for the video---brings back many fond memories!
Fun fact: Steven Spielberg bought the E.T. house and the two houses on either side of it for the shoot at this location, which lasted several months, in order to avoid chaos with the neighbors. You can access the E.T. house by driving up Seven Hills Drive in Tujunga.
In Jurassic Park 3 a scene was lifted from E.T. and spliced in where the dinosaurs escape during the auction scene and the reptile is seen looking through the trees down over the city of Sunland/Tujunga and the distant East San Fernando Valley further away (and lower in elevation) from the CGI mansion.
Another fun fact: Sunland/Tujunga is the most famous little town(s) in the world that nobody has ever heard of due to thousands of movies and television shows filmed here since the 1920s because of its close proximity to Los Angeles---even the original Tarzan movies were shot here (in Sunland) as was Sons of Anarchy, CSI, and many more.
On my street alone, on just one block, over twenty movies/television shows have been filmed over a ten-year period! I do love this old town's venerable oak trees and their mighty branches reaching together over the streets.
I was always envious of the large homes in many of the classics
Soooo good! One of your best! Those drone shots! 👌🏻
Love all your videos! Thanks so much for doing them.
This was amazing thank you!
Great job,Kurt! I saw E.T in the theater but I was only 2 and I cried during it.I also smoked a blunt with friends on the hill in Porter Ridge Park 22 years ago 😂
Haha. Yeah I had friends that did that back in the day. That was the park to hang at. Thank you!!
This was really good. Thank you so much! :)
I've seen these locations several times on youtube but as usual, you do it so much better!
Brilliant job again - loved the out-takes too!
Pretty cool.
I actually grew up in that neighborhood when the movie was made.
The movie was actually a pretty good representation of how the old neighborhood was.
love these vids mate keep doing them makes me wanna watch the movie all over again
Amazing work, thank you.
Man you take me back. Love you Chanel keep up the good work.
Another good one Kurt! I enjoy your content, keep up the good work!!
Very good. Love that drone shot. Subbed!
You’ve done many filming locations but this has to be your best work yet! Keep up the great work Kurt! 👍👍
Amazing how you lined up the shots so well
That is pretty cool you did a great job E.T. is one of my favorites went to see its 3 times in 5 days when it was released.
So well done!!
THANK YOU!! Just love relaxing and enjoying the look back in time. We’ll done.
YESSSS I’ve been hoping you’d make this, I’m so glad it happened!
He had to this movie is a valley staple
Wow !!! Man you did what most of our generation wanted to do ❤❤ thank you so much bro 🙏
The final shot - perfect. Great episode!
One of the best movies ever made. When ET was dying, it was so tragic! As good as The Wizard of Oz.
Awesome... thanks for this!
It’s so nice to see so many beautiful trees in places that were so scarce! Amazing detail
Very cool! Thanks Kurt!
Very cool thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video
Love these , crazy how much trees change the feel of the neighborhood
