    The part where he tells her she’s the only reason he is hesitant to go back. 😢
    I like to think Josh looked her up after he had turned 18 and ended up together.

    I worked at Playland in the summers of '85 and '86. I lived a few miles away in Port Chester at the time. Of all the rides I operated, the Bumper Cars was my favorite. I had the longest lines because I made up games for the kids. I'd have the red and blue cars team up against the yellow and green cars, then every so often I would switch it up so that the red and green went against the blue and yellow, and I'd do every color combination. One time there was only one yellow car being used so I told all the riders "Get the yellow car!" and the kid in the yellow car was like "NOOoooo!". lol After the ride was over, they all run out the exit and get back in line to ride again.

      I went there a few times in the late '80s with my father and grandparents.. It is one of the few times I had a positive interaction with my father. I think I went there at least twice maybe three times..it's funny how you do things as a kid just a few times with certain people and it's stuck in your memory

    This movie brings back so many memories from being a Kid in the 80's. I've always wondered if the people who live in these homes know that a major movie was filmed in their home. Great filming location ,thank you Jordan.

    Aww my boyfriend from like 20ish years ago lived just a couple houses down from “Josh’s” house. He was in school down in Atlanta where I live and we went up there one summer to visit with him family at his childhood home right there in Cliffside Park and I just remember being so blown away/excited… so nostalgic 🥰🥰

    I’m so glad I have this movie in my recordings. Thank you Jordan for taking us to these filming locations. It brings back all the nuances and awkward moments of growing up. Penny Marshall did a great job in directing “Big” and Tom Hanks capturing the ways of a child in a man’s body & and his young friend staying in character as Josh’s friend was spot on as well. Elizabeth Banks also interacted perfectly with Tom Hanks. Also, seeing Jah relaxing was priceless❣🐾🙏❤

I was more intrigued then seeing the golden gate bridge. Something about being right there at something I saw on TV, it was so amazing to me.

    BIG: One of my favorite 80s films by far! I'll tell ya though. You set me straight Jordan...All this time, I didn't realize the 1st Zoltar scene was filmed near the George Washington Bridge in that park in NJ. When I first saw your narrative, I was like " wait a minute, I thought it was shot in Rye Playland, NY!" Then as I watched I saw the 2nd Zoltar scene and realized I was partially right. All this time, I had it wrong...and I'm from NY lol. Penny Marshall did a superb job with this film. so touching yet funny. Tom Hanks was incredible. Thank you Jordan for enthusiasm and great narrative on this film. We feel the same way you do!

    Benn part of playland as a kid growing up in Scarsdale and now working for Westchester Parks Dept. which we ran Playland up until last year. Not much has changed scenic wise over my 45 years alive. Rides have been changed, the New York Rangers hockey team used to practice there for decades but now practice down the street from me in Tarrytown NY, about 15 minutes away. Jordan, you should stopped at the Tiki bar in the back there, nice place for a drink and some lunch or dinner

Scenes were also filmed on Anderson Avenue in Cliffside, however, it has changed a lot since 1988. I was a kid when this was all being filmed and lived in the next town over!
