Post by: skyway67 on October 14, 2012, 09:18 PM: just arrived back from my holiday and whilst there i decided to take a little detour

i'm sure all you ET fans will recognise the locations 8)

many of the locations look very different after 30 years of vegetation growth

hope you enjoy 8) :wink:

me by the caterpiller

it was quite an epic cruise to find some of these locations

white oak drive where the kids took off on the bmx's while being chased by the police was being resurfaced so was awkward to stop

more california bmx pics to follow once i've sorted through them

Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on October 15, 2012, 12:29 PM: Love those pics, well done! :) Myself and my wife were in LA a few years ago, and we completely forgot to visit the area. The location is saved on my google earth places, so I must visit when i'm next in America. I love seeing/visiting film locations. We went to Santa Cruz, CA in 2009 (filming location for the lost boys)

We also drove through the Figueroa Street tunnels in LA (used in the opening scenes in Steven Spielberg's classic Duel). (pic from Wikipedia).

Post by: mivvi on November 17, 2012, 08:38 PM: Loving that thread! Having an ET bike myself, always interested in anything related. The Lost boys pics wowed me too, instantly recgonised the funfair. I love america and have been there many times and worked there for a period of time, never crossed my mind to go visiting film sets. Well thats my plan next trip, I want to visit some spots from the film 'Warriors', its one of my faves. Thanks all for the pics and comments, top marks! :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: ET's neighbourhood
Post by: Robmac on November 24, 2012, 10:39 AM: Just stumbled across this thread as I never look in the pics part of the forum.
Love the locations. I've become a bit of an E.T. anorak myself, so might talk nicely to the wife about visiting some of these places next year when we're over in that area.
Nice one Daz :daumenhoch:
