I swear, my kid and yours share the same personality when it comes to mocking their old man. Great vid! Thanks for looking into those locations. I knew that a lot of it was done on a back lot but it was still cool to see the places that weren't.

Such an awesome 80s christmas movie. Thanks for filming the locations for us.

Such a classic movie . Chevy in his heyday was really a funny guy

Your son was making me lol from the back seat.

when im 73 (20 years from now), ill be rewatching this video. your vids are getting better and better....thanks your kid is funny too

I appreciate your time and effort into this video. Your son was spot-on too!

I just watched this two nights ago with some beers man it's still funny as hell

Wow!..how cool is that house, such detail to a classic Christmas movie !..thank you for always giving such description and details to ALL your videos.👍👍

Clark: “Hey kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted Santa’s sled on its way in from New York.” Uncle Eddie: "You serious Clark?" Lmao!

They even had a Kansas license plate on Eddies Rv! That family went the whole nine yards on that display. Great video. Job well done.

This is bad ass...Tell him we love his set up from Houston Houston TX..💪😎🤘👍

I haven't even watched it yet but have already hit 'like'.

That was great the Griswald house display was an awesome touch!

As an attorney, the line "It just seems like such a waste of a cool building to have a law school here" made me laugh really hard. Because it's so true. Loved your video as always, and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Awesome video. One of my favorite Christmas movies n Comedys ever.

Hahahaha your kid stole the show 😂😂😂

You do awesome work I am a new subscriber I love it I love how you did the Christmas vacation I love how you did the 80s car show I watch Adam the Woo I like filming locations Grimm life but you rock buddy you really do keep up the good work thank you so much

This was great, my favourite Xmas movie. Great details on what other stuff the houses were used in.

One of my all time favorite movies ever!!! I watch it year around. Awesome work!!! Oh your son in the backseat was epic i laughed so hard at him lol.

Your son cracks me up! 😂 Thank you for sharing! One of my fav Christmas movies!

My FAVORITE!!!!!! X mas movie. Thanks buddy!

Just wanna thank you for all your effort on those videos. Since i'm a big fan of 80's movies i love these kind of content. Take care.

Again, very nice job, great movie, great to see your family enjoying this too.

Can’t thank you enough for the effort you go to in your videos. And your son, what a scream he is 😂

I came across your channel today, and have literally spent ALL day watching your videos! 😂 Obviously I subscribed. Just wanted to note on this video that at the very end you can also see they have the port hole on the makeshift second story where Clark was sitting in the attic watching old home movies. Also, your Son cracked me up in this video! Thanks for your videos and love the content.

I started out as a page from 98-2000 and WB was my stopping grounds. I worked on the main lot for the first two years as a page on various sitcoms. Then I got a gig for WB Television in the summer of 2000. Our production office was located on the Ranch and I got to work on both lots. Gate 12 was the main gate at the time. One show I worked on we film at the Lethal Weapon house. Those houses are practical they have Interiors. The opposite side across from the house with the pool was the opening of Friends. Very time I drove onto the Ranch I thought of Lethal Weapon Christmas Vacation and Friends. Good times

We went to Breckenridge in October. On the way off I-70 you drive by the Wal Mart in Frisco. My wife couldn't understand why I was so excited about it.

The deco house at the end is mucho awesome!!! I hope they get to keep the addition up!! Happy Holidays!

That LaMirada house on Golva… spectacular ! Talk about a devoted fan.

Absolutely brilliant this, I knew that the houses used were filmed on the wb backlot, but still interesting to see the other locations, I will be watching Xmas vacation later today for sure. Have you ever noticed that when Clarke says with the bonus I'm putting in a pool, then Eddie says I can't swim Clarke..then in Vegas vacation Eddie says, ever swam with the dolphins clarke, meaning he swam with them so did he take lessons lol. Anyway thanks Kurt for the upload, looking forward to the next one 😊

I love that setup at the end the house that is soo cool

The house theme is awesome good ole Todd and Margo ha ha

Awesome, well done video

DUDE.....AWESOME........!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Watched this and strange brew last night. What dreams I had, very strange brew.

Thats great you found the location for the interior at 3050 wilshire. I gotta cruise past that place some time.

The §hitter was full Merry Christmas 🎄.

I enjoy your Universal Studios and Six Flags Magic Mountain videos you should do a Christmas video of those two 👍📲🎄

Now that house is AWESOME

Awesome

Great job!!!

Keeps getting better! Uncle Stunt Coordinated this as well. My cousin is one of the swat team members breaking through the glass windows.

Love your shows brotha!

Cool to see these locations!

Christmas 🎄 Vacation Movie DVD 📀 Love my favorite one fan Big 💖💖💖💖💯❄️🎶

Hello and Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍👍😀 Christmas Greetings 🎁🎄🌟 from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

Very cool video! One thing I noticed about watching the movie and the end of your video was the chainsaw, hockey mask and the colors of Clark’s sweater and winter vest which are synonymous with 3 horror characters of the late 1970s and 1980s. The chainsaw for Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, hockey mask for fake Jason Vorhees from Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning and red/green for Freddy Krueger’s sweater from A Nightmare on Elm Street.

I had forgotten there are so many exterior shots, I remember all of it like taking place in the soundstage house, but then again, I haven't seen this film in like 10 years lol

G’day champ, I love the way you put these videos together….I’ve watch the Griswold family Xmas movie every year.

Cool video

Nice video and your kid mocking you was funny 😆.

The pickup truck in the beginning of Christmas vacation chasing clark...is the same pickup truck driven by kurt Russell on OVERBOARD

Great video, I was fooled. I thought the movie was filmed on location in Chicago and other parts of Illinois. By then they definitely had a better budget...

Kurt crucial coming rad Christmas time

You said most of the movie was filmed on sound stages. I remember my dad telling me that he and my aunt and uncle walked around the sound stage where they filmed the upstairs parts.

Wish my kids like this movie. I always watch it by myself during Xmas time. Sh*tter was full 😂😂😂. That house is awesome. I definitely have to go there.

awesome videos pal ! im sure this house was also used in wandavision

The addition to the roof top of La Mirada home actually ,made the localnews up north is Sacramento, the city ruled to allow them to leave roof addition until after Christmas, they claimed it could possibly get blown off with Santa Anna winds, man I could believe it been in Fontana one windy night and it was like a hurricane blowing thru there lol. Merry Christmas Kurt- Heath

Good stuff.

Hey there, yasss one of my favorites "Save the neck for me, Clark" 🤣🤣🤣 btw your son is friggin hilarious 😁🤡

Wow, Clark Griswold and Roger Murtaugh were neighbours...little world. :-)

I had NO IDEA that the Griswold house was right next door the Murtaugh house, that's awesome!

Whoever owns that house is slightly obsessed.

You gotta do 48 Hours, The Wild Life, & Hollywood Knights

Saw the Griswald decorated house on the news, I live in La Mirada and had no idea it was located here. Speaking of La Mirada, there used to be an awesome skate ditch off the 5 across from the Santa Fe Springs Drive-in called Swamp Lands. Anyone remember? Was there well into the 2000s.

Clarks bosses house on Kenneth Rd .. i would pass by it going to brand park as a kid.. and I always thought it was the fresh prince of bel airs house. .. i never new it was really a famous Hollywood movie house

Great video, have you seen 'Hack The Movies' recent review on Christmas vacation? quite funny to watch. By the way, have you played GTA Vice City Remastered and Yakuza 0 before? they are the best games to relive the 80s as both are basically an 80s simulator.

9:12 Lol aka the Hancock Building (just one of the most famous buildings in the world; a major Chicago landmark)

9:30 Appreciate all these locations but despite all the work you put in, my favorite part starts here

The same law school that bought the Bullocks Wilshire building also bought the Ambassador Hotel - of RFK fame, and a location in That Thing You Do.

Your son is so cute and adorable

That house in La Mirada is fantastic - such a shame the Authorities dont see it that way - i hope they fight it all the way! excellent watch bud ( your kid is hilarious too!)

Did ANYONE NOTICE, that the character of Aunt Bethany was the voice of 'Olive Oyl' in the Popeye cartoons, and 'Betty Boop.'

And the attic scene was filmed inside the Brekenridge High School gym.

You serious Clark? 🎅🏼

Eddies Christmas in Hawaii. Pretty good

Seems like when there is a cool Christmas display, someone calls the city and cries about it.

Great video. But check up on the laws regarding video and photography. Also , check out the amendment audit videos .

At least they use them for two great Christmas movies

Holy !@#^ on that house!

I worked on a set construction construction company in the 90’s. We did a commercial in the Bullocks Wiltshire building and the building was empty at the time. I think they stopped using it for actual retail after the riots. Anyways, I remember one of the restrooms had a mosaic tile floor that had little swastikas all over it. I believe it was built pre Nazi Germany.

HOT DAMN !!🎅🤪

Your son is so funny!

Your son is hilarious 🤪🤣

Ya kid it the background is funny. I reckon that’s what you were like when you’re a kid

The actor that played Todd was the voice of Jax dad in Sons of Anarchy

What was the oct 26 1985 blue screen before intro started all about?

Ironically since your 80s themed. The first thing I thought when I saw your thumbnail was why did he replace Chevy Chase with Bill Murray

Your Son in the background 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Hey there's a movie called alpha dogs. It was a big story in the valley before the movie was an idea. The accused's name fits into the story. Can you do this movie?

Kurt - this is Chris from Santa Clarita. When are we starting an 80s cover band?

I seen it on the news, the owner said they can fine him all they want , he will not take his façade down

Is the establishing shot of the Department store in Chicago the corner the Joker was waiting to get picked up?

What's the big deal about a fake facade ? He probably didn't apply for a permit, and I know how that goes. Great dedication thanks for filming it

It would be cool if they let you in the back lot before it goes away

Do “Burbs” next

The house they used in "Christmas Vacation," was the SAME house used at the beginning of "Vegas Vacation."

Was this also the house used in Vegas Vacation too? Where's the house from the original film?
