"Don't do this" "This is illegal" had me laughing pretty good

That conductor at The Orpheum is my friend's dad (Mr. Akiyama)! And the former owners of The Ridge bowling alley are my current neighbours. They still miss this business every day!

Solid job, I only knew about 8 or 9 of those being done here. Had to laugh at the one scene at the ferry where clear as day you can see BC License plates on the cars, despite it being in the U.S.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Skinny Puppy! I wish the Ridge was still around. There’s no form of entertainment in that neighbourhood anymore

I love Shoot to Kill. There is a climbing crag and a rock climb named for the movie in the Cheakamus Canyon in Squamish where they did some filming. Apparently there's still a concrete slab there that was poured for the production.

Underrated movie! That’s really cool information, didn’t know any of that! Thanks

@@banksvault5557 The other thing I recall about that film is that the ferry they are on was later cut in half vertically and had a section welded into the middle to make it longer. THEN it was cut in half horizontally and had another deck added. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-class_ferry I live tweeted the film a few years back when that was a thing. twitter.com/i/events/984656277199470594 there's a bunch more location information there and screen shots.
