Empire Records is a 1995 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed by Allan Moyle, starring Anthony LaPaglia, Maxwell Caulfield, Debi Mazar, Rory Cochrane, Johnny Whitworth, Robin Tunney, Renée Zellweger, and Liv Tyler. The film follows a group of record store employees over the course of one exceptional day. The employees try to stop the store from being sold to a large chain, and learn about each other along the way. The film generated negative reviews and major losses at the domestic US box office at its release. It went on to become a cult hit, and several of its stars launched successful careers.
Exteriors were filmed at 15 South Front Street in Wilmington, North Carolina, in a bar that had a few feet of space converted into a replica of the store set which was located at Carolco (now Screen Gems) studios, and finished with a large picture of the rest of the store. This allowed the actors to enter the exterior location doors and walk a couple of feet before the scene would cut to the interior set on Soundstage 4 at the studio. The large mural of Gloria Estefan which Mark kisses early in the film was visible for many years on the separate building, on South Water Street, that stood in for the back of the store.
The Rex Manning music video "Say No More, Mon Amour" was shot prior to principal photography, and was shot on Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina in one day. It was intended to be only a 17-second dance move piece for the main actors to make fun of in the film. Jordan Dawes, the director of the music video, shot for the entire day and gave the producers a complete music video that was almost five minutes in length.

Great 90's movies used to fall asleep almost every night watching it the soundtrack rocks thanks Scott ✌️

Never heard of this movie, but thanks for the introduction, Scott!!! 😎👍 The mid 80s and 90s were a very busy time for me. I was young and beautiful, and the world wanted my attention. 😂
Same brother , same.
LOVE THIS!! I went there last year and actually ate at The Rebellion!!! I saved my receipt. So cool, and I walked across the street too and agree where you think the mural is fits. DAMN THE MAN, SAVE THE EMPIRE!!😂😂😂❤❤
Empire records was one one of the greats
Ahhh, I’ve never clicked on a video so fast! My favorite movie of all time ❤
"Empire Records"... sort of 1990's answer to The 1980's "Breakfast Club". Well, sort of... to GenX, anyway. I was still young in 1994 lol. Thanks Scott, and please stay safe! ❤
Empire Records is 300 feet away from "The Bridge" nightclub in my Dream a Little Dream, right down Quince Alley. And you were spot on the location for the alley scene 👏
Geez I'm getting old. Love Empire Records! Great soundtrack. Liv Tyler is such a beauty. I remember the quote "Sinead O'Rebellion"...Enquiring minds: Did you get towed? LOL
Haha no I didn’t

scott i should tell you that i dropped out of high school in my teens but i went back and earned my dipolma in my 20's im very proud i went back my mom lived to see it. and was proud it im 48 now, just shows how strong i am, because i was'nt treated to so good in school by teachers. but it just shows the strong person i am. and my parents were strong too. I learned so many great things they taught me. and love and respect for myself and others is one of the things they taught me. I think your filming locations should get more attention because your just so fun to watch. love to you and shady. from Vickie🥰
