I lived in that apartment building when they filmed the movie. During the scene where Daniel and his mom first arrive and he's taking his bike off the car, I was standing on my balcony (says "South" on it). I had been watching them rehearse the scene a few times. When the director said he was ready to shoot, I asked if I should go back inside. He said no, it was okay if I stayed and watched. I wouldn't be seen. And yes, the wooden front gate was just installed for the movie. It was a metal gate before and after.

For my 40th birthday we rented Golf n Stuff and had a slumber party in the secondary arcade. We got to use the go carts, arcade, golf course and slept in sleeping bags in the building that most of the KK footage was shot in front of. Plan on doing this again once covid subsides and if they still have the slumber party rental option. It's mostly meant for kids, but I am one. A kid of the 80s forever.

Development The film is adapted from a book Crowe wrote after a year spent at Clairemont High School in San Diego, California. He went undercover to do research for his 1981 book Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A True Story, about his observations of the high school and the students he befriended there, including then-student Andy Rathbone, on whom the character Mark "Rat" Ratner was modeled. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Times_at_Ridgemont_High

Loved this video. Is a very warm feeling. I'm from Spain and these locations were so special to me because they were so north american, a place I wanted to visit in the 80's. This movie will always be so magical to me.

Bizarre to think that nearly 40 years later there are so many things virtually unchanged, like a time capsule. Esp. those locker number tags.

The Karate kid films are great, now the saga continues with Cobra Kai. 👊

I was 10 when this came out, one of the few 80s movie I sadly missed at the theatre.

@@jazzyjeff7431 A lot relied on your parents and I do not think this flick attracted much attention. I saw countless movies underage because I was accompanied by one or two parents. Sudden Impact was an 18 certificate in the UK and I sneaked in with my dad when I was 10. Go figure.

@@Truthseeker1515 Yes that is very true.I thought Karate Kid was popular right from the start here in the US but i can't really remember.If it had anything to do with karate or ninjas,i had to see it.
