adamthewoo this is fantastic! I know you have touched on this film before in the daily woo, but well worth a full vlog! And the return of ‘join me, shall you?’ Most majestic start to 2018!
Realizing that this video took months to film, all while filming content for other videos, you did a really good job seamlessly putting everything together. Good job Adam!
I'll always remember that tuesday afternoon in the summer of 1994 when I was feeling sad and for no particular reason I decide to go to the movies. I saw that movie and I was alone in the theater... A private viewing of one of the greatest movie I ever saw to this day... I remember staying on my seat after the credits and everything as if I didn't want it to end... I came out of the theater with a different mindset and that, for the rest of my life so far.... In 2015, I checked a spot on my bucket list... Went down from my hometown of Montreal Canada to Savannah, GA to sit on a bench in Chippewa Square and eat a chocolate.... Thank you for that video Adam! Wow!
I've always loved this movie... Always breaks my heart when he sees his son there watching TV. And when visiting Jenny's grave at the end. I tear up...
Spot on! I cry every time. That scene is even more moving once I became a father. Even more moving after I remarried & became the father to someone with special needs. True awesomeness! Side note Adams channels made me start a Instagram showing how great parenting someone with special needs is!!!
I'm so happy to see you returning to this channel, your original channel. The content you create and put on here is very high quality and entertaining. I wish I could give this video more than one like. Thanks for making this. *XD*
Thank you so much . I'm trying to find a balance between huge projects like this and the simpler vlog type stuff that others are interested In. It's coming together slowly
Wow! Such a great idea, Adam! I do indeed love these videos! I love seeing these locations, and Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies of all time! 👍👍
savages48 Sure did! He looks good! Thanks for watching our latest video. It was a great year. Tim and Adam are both featured in our Best of Live Streaming Video. It was amazing to meet them both! 😀😀
It was amazing when I went to US for the first time. Seeing so many places I've seen since I was born in movies and television shows was really nice. When I went to the Lincoln memorial at Washington DC, I was like: Well, isn't this the place where forrest gump gave his speech? I don't know, it was just amazing that I was actually there and that the place really exists. Now I look at this video and I say to myself: Wow, I was really there.
Fun fact: the house Forrest and his mom lived in was a movie prop that was also used in The Patriot with Mel Gibson, along with the run Forrest run road
Adam....one of the best RUclips videos that you have ever produced. I have stepped foot in three of the filming locations but never nailed down the precise shot angles as you have so expertly done. Congratulations on a job well done.
glad to see your back Adam, I've been watching your channel for almost 7 years now and i'm glad to see your awesome videos again but i have a question, will your channels iconic intro return ?
I was looking up people associated with the movie who have Twitter accounts that we could possibly share this with. Robert Zemeckis does NOT apparently have one, but I found a few that do: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, Sally Field, Haley Joel Osmont, Hanna Hall (young Jenny), Geoffrey Blake (Jenny's abusive boyfriend) and composer Alan Silvestri.
adamthewoo Hi Adam what about the movie Scream or Nightmare on elm Street, everyone else has been bested on not getting to the school basement in Nightmare, I figure you would make it tho 😎
I gotta give u credit man. I work in hospital through these tough times. And on my break I sit in car eat lunch and watch your videos. Great work man. 👍🏼. Keep it up.
I watch a LOT of RUclips videos and this, hands down, is the single best thing I have ever seen on RUclips in the 12 years I've been watching. THANK YOU for this, From the bottom of my heart. I had tears in my eyes from joy and sadness just seeing the test of time on the filming locations from my favorite movie of all time. I saw Forrest Gump in theaters when I was just 8 years old and each time I watch it it means something new and different to me. I know this couldn't have been easy but it was absolutely breath taking. Thank you again!!
I really enjoyed this. If I could make one recommendation, have more split screens between the film and the location. Or, hold on the two of them a bit longer. Sometimes it feels as if you move on too quick. I have to pause or go back too often. Really love these videos, thanks so much for making them.
Adam! I haven't read any comments on this, but I know we sincerely appreciate the work you have put into this video. Wonderful research, presented in a very accessible manner (I couldn't stop watching!), with some clever humor along the way. Way to go. Congratulations. I have been doing some road trips myself lately and I know how tedious getting to Monument Valley can be but it is TOTALLY worth it when you get there. Completely breathtaking, and you were able to get it with the perfect lighting. 10/10
Great job Adam! I absolutely love the filming location stuff. I always amazes me how you're able to find these locations and know so much detail about them. Thanks for the excellent work!
Love this vlog! I live in Flagstaff and when my family heard Tom Hanks was filming here downtown we went and saw him! We barely recognized him since he had that long beard but it was him! It was an awesome experience! So glad you had the Arizona locations in this video!
Awesome video! My wife's father's tugboat was in that movie, it's the red boat tied up to the dock. Also, another location not mentioned during his cross country run....Forrest Gump Curve at Grandfather Mountain, NC.
Growing up and still living in England , I was mesmerized and totally fascinated even more now I'm older by the US of A. The landscapes, the towns, the movies, the way of life I love it. I stumbled upon your videos last month, (which we are working our way through when we can) whilst researching days out in Southern California as we are coming over mid August for 3 weeks with the family to Anaheim for our holiday ( 8th time ) I have to say you are an inspiration to those that have the fortune to break free from life's monotonous churn. You have done and are doing all the things I dreamt of from being young...the zany magical adventuring like a real life Goonies film. To many it may seem one huge holiday but I can appreciate the long days and nights and uncertainty of your travels but by the heck they are truly superb ! If I could stitch your vlogs together into one huge edit it would be the greatest and most entertaining movie ever made ! Defo going Bubba Gumps on our 1st night in Anaheim to celebrate this "majestic" video and I'll wear your T shirt ( the one that looks like a Mike Judge sketch from Beavis n' Butthead, it's awesome LOL ) to spread the love ! Join me ? Shall You ? All the best m8 ;)
Forrest Gump holds a very special place in my heart. It was also the very first film I watched all by myself in a movie theater. I was emotional back then when those credits first rolled, and I was unexpectedly emotional again today, after seeing this exceptionally well-made tribute. I mean, come on...Woo puts on the things and he says the lines and he runs past all the places...too much good show...Bravo. 👏👏👏Thank you.
Thanks Adam. Awesome video as always. Stay safe be happy. Always know your true family here online Definitely love and supports you always. Never listen to the negativity
adamthewoo well I loved that video so i had to make sure you k knew it. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I'm also really happy you responded and like my comment as well so double thanks and keep up the awesome work. 👍😎
They did a major overhaul on the Reflecting Pool since the movie. Took a trip to DC in 2011 with the intention of getting some awesome night shots of it and it was completely torn up. it is now circulated water that drains to a tidal basin. The “pool” use to be uncirculated water that was stagnate. If they needed more water they would just add potable water. It often smelled horrendous as various birds would do their business in there. FYI!
Omg Adam!!!! Loved this one!!! I was laughing so much at the end with the hair and beard!!! Honestly... your short films are becoming more and more detailed, always artistic and so you!!! Be proud of your work!! Incredibly talented dear sir!!! Adam your videos are like the fruit of the youtube sea......You can watch them while you are barbecuing, baking out in the sun, with or without a box of chocolates.... I love to have watched your transition since the 1st video I ever saw of you and started watching...out in the wetland outer forest by Disneyworld... I cried and cried for what had transpired....yet you continued on...and when it was time to stop....running, you stood there with pride and stated that you were done.....quitting the daily vlogs... again I cried, took quite a long time to stop checking the channel every single day as I always had done for so long...when I realised in my heart that you were doing what was best for you, and that you were happy...so was I. Keep on trucker hatting ..... I can hardly wait to see what's next.... 1980s combo of pretty in pink, Ferris....breakfast club? Thank you again for your commitment to your content...to thine own self be true 💕
28:07 that’s me in that 73’ Ford F-250 which I still have and I have still have that license plate and that bumper sticker I still have the license plate on my truck and I can’t believe I got asked to use my truck in a film and I enjoyed it and I never got rid of my 1973 Ford F-250 people come up to me and ask that looks like the truck from Forrest Gump and I tell them it is and I show them the bumper sticker and they laugh
All I know is that I love the way you do this, These moments you help recreate is the coolest thing ever. Thank you for all the research you have done.
lol the scene at the end where Forrest stops running, the sound of the wind is SPOT ON with the movie scene, the same wind while he's announcing he's done. I specifically remember that and thought wow how did Adam get that so perfect lol
Yes, but if you look back on his Chanel you will see where he goes to abandoned amusement parks and water parks and explores them, and that is what the whole video is focused on. I love his exploration videos!
@@chuckfan1 Not funny to you. Maybe I over reacted writing my comment but I did literally laugh out loud. So, in the moment it was funny to me. I don't know why but it was
I doubt you'll see this, but, I just discovered this video today. Forrest Gump is probably my all time favorite movie. You did a fantastic job presenting all these places. It makes me want to take a road trip so bad. Thank you for sharing.
Great job as always! As you showed your composition book again in this video - I thought maybe a future vlog channel post can be about how you pre-plan for these epic adventures. Like ' behind the 'WOO-vie magic' :-) Happy New Year!
If this is what we can expect from you in 2018, it's going to be a great year indeed! Fantastic job Adam! One of the greatest movies ever made. Happy new year! 🎆🎉🍾🥂
The definitive Locations videos Adam, the best content I have seen. Next stop your own TV series...... Netflix are you reading this? Honestly, entertaining, interesting and a Historic piece of work before a lot of these things go or change forever. Well done, I just don't understand who would put a dislike... don't get it.
Wow, what a gem! I have seen so many of your vlogs from all these different places and am so glad I finally stumbled on this one and saw how you were slowly putting all this together! The ending was precious!
I used to live in many of the locations used to shoot this movie. Adamthe woo, I do have to say you are NOT embelishishing anything I've seen in this video. You've done an excellent job. I've personally been to many of these locations, and even had my hair cut in that barber shop in Varnville. I have been watching your videos of abandoned buildings for a long time, and, even after this, I can say your information is accurate. I've eaten in that restaurant in Savannah where "Jenny" worked many times. In fact, I think I've sat at that table where the TV was. Not deliberately, of course....but, because I like to sit near a window when I eat. I used to live about 3 blocks from the "barber shop" in Varnville, and recognize some of the landmarks in Varnville. I now live about 20 miles from there. The school was "Hampton Street Elementary" in Walterboro, SC. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, and continues to be renovated even to this day. I've seen many plays in the auditorium, and, trust me, they are not shy about pointing out the water fountains in that hallway! Thank you for being honest in your reviews and in your exploration. I've seen many tour guides in Savannah take liberties with "history" and embellishing their stories. You ware not even from this neck of the woods, and you did a WONDERFUL job. I can't thank you enough.
@@wdharvey1 hey, LiveOkie is hilarious! Don't diss him. He's got his own show ;) But seriously I agree with you, this Adam guy does his research. I like how he shows the detail shots to show it's the same exact spot.
@@nmarbletoe8210 I dont' care if LiveOkie has crabs, I'm sure not going to piss on him if he's on fire trying to burn them...But, yes, I do live in the area where Forest Gump, The Great Santini, Radio, Ace Ventura When nature calls (yeah, that's a bragging point), The Big Chill, Full Metal Jacket...the list goes on....so, it makes me only wondery why LiveOkie is so insecure...is it lack of intelligence or lack of self esteem, or just a general lack, in general..........
@LiveOkie OH...and I"VE been an extra in many of these movies, I"VE been asked for call-backs, I"VE also been a fluffer in a few porno's! THEY asked ME to come back off cam...funny thing, man..I"VE got a lot more experience than YOUR entitled ass, so, I"VE got some stories to tell that YOU will not pay attention to...SO, even though N Marbletoe tried to "come to YOUR rescue" since, I wasn't even talking about YOU, why do YOU think YOU are more important than ME...because, in YOUR sentence, the biggest work you could use was YOU mad NO point, and YOU are actually an entitled BEYATCH that no one wants to hear from anyway. So, YOU go stick YOUR head in a bucket of water, and YOU please, take YOURSELF a very long deep breath. YOU call me when YOU wake up. See, I can make it all about YOU very easily.
Most people will never understand how seeing a meter box or holes left on a curb by the crew or and old ramps demise would be in any way exciting but I will never get enough of it.
This video makes me so happy that you took the time to find all these spots. I commented on your daily vlog from June, 2020 that Forrest Gump is my all time favorite move - I love Tom Hanks. I also have a feather tattoo on my arm in honor of Forrest Gump. Thank you for this.
I am one of your current subscribers the last few years and I went back and found this absolute gem! This was an amazing video you did here. You should’ve got a damn emmy award for this. The research to find and match up locations must have been exhausting! What an accurate diligent job you did! Thanks so much for all of your work, it’s greatly appreciated! G-d Bless you brother! I met you once in 2018 and said hello in magic kingdom near the train at the entrance to main st in Florida and I wouldn’t expect you to remember me, but I’m a fan of your channel. Wishing you much continued success....”shall you?”
SUPER job, as usual, Adam. Wishing you the happiest New Year ever. I look forward to everything you share with us. WOW... all the background prep for this...!!!
Watching this a year later. This was terrific. Makes me want to sit down and watch the movie again and see what I missed. Thanks for doing what you do, Adam.
Living my life vicariously through you! Amazing video Adam, thank you. The Forrest Gump soundtrack was the soundtrack for my wedding, to my Jenny!! It’s our favourite film of all time. Cannot thank you enough! Take a bow sir....you win the internet. Would do anything to visit one of those locations, would mean so much to my wife. THANK YOU!
the work, the planning, execution, editing.....this is amazing. you have stepped it up to another level. I do miss your amazing drone shots! Great Work.

Fantastic job my friend! Your videos just get better each time!
you should do some more horror type material, a video on troma studios or filming locations would be cool
Realizing that this video took months to film, all while filming content for other videos, you did a really good job seamlessly putting everything together. Good job Adam!
oh damn fr
Keep up the excellent work...
skippy62able Hey LA beast have a good day
Moobs
Hope to catch you on livestream soon!
Thanks buddy . We need to hang one of these days . I'm living in LA now
adamthewoo I'm back on the east coast now, but I'd go on an AdamTheWoo adventure anytime. The abandoned Glass Bank and the Minnelli house were cool
We'll figure something out . I'm on the east coast pretty often
I'll always remember that tuesday afternoon in the summer of 1994 when I was feeling sad and for no particular reason I decide to go to the movies. I saw that movie and I was alone in the theater... A private viewing of one of the greatest movie I ever saw to this day... I remember staying on my seat after the credits and everything as if I didn't want it to end...

Went down from my hometown of Montreal Canada to Savannah, GA to sit on a bench in Chippewa Square and eat a chocolate.... Thank you for that video Adam! Wow!
mmmm chocolate
Blimey, alone watching forest gump when it first came out? They didn't know what they were missing did they. One of the nest films ever
I hope life is going well for you
Now How Old Are You 🤔
@@arjunshinde7104 55. (56 in 3 days)
gary sinise doesnt get enough credit for how well he played dan in this movie. he was awesome
uh yes he does, he got a oscar nod for it....and countless other nominations and wins for his role in this...he got what he deserved NIMROD.
You mean other than being nominated for an Oscar???
I completely agree. He literally cut both of his legs off below the knee for that role and only won a Blockbuster award for the effort.
@butterfly Green Snowflake
@@harrycarrey1225 lol.
Best video of " standing in the spots" I've ever watched!
Look at the lab East video of dirty dancing it’s even cooler
Good Job Buddy also I liked this video to
This is an epic, cross country project. Wow, blown away.
It was an undertaking but something I've wanted to tackle for a long time . Glad I finally made it happen
adamthewoo amazingggggaaaa love the work woo,my favourite youtube go to guy ;)
adamthewoo how did you find all of these film spots?
@@adamthewoo I watch all your videos and love them, great work again.
I've always loved this movie... Always breaks my heart when he sees his son there watching TV. And when visiting Jenny's grave at the end. I tear up...
That scene when he first finds out it's his son is the reason Tom hanks is a great actor and others aren't
Love that scene “He’s gotta daddy named Forest Too?”
Agreed. He's able to draw you into a character and feel what he is feeling better than most!
Spot on! I cry every time. That scene is even more moving once I became a father. Even more moving after I remarried & became the father to someone with special needs. True awesomeness! Side note Adams channels made me start a Instagram showing how great parenting someone with special needs is!!!
I wondered, did she end up giving him aids when they got married?
Impressive work. Ultra detailed filming locations video. Congratulations
12:44 "he wasn't used to that kind of language"
Yet he passed Basic and did a tour in Vietnam. That's what's so funny to me 😂
He must've not met Sargent Hartman.
"Is that you John Wayne? Is this me?"
What a great way to ring in the New Year! Happy Woo Year everyone!
RhettyforFun Definitely exciting!
Happy New Year buddy
Happy Woo Year! Ha ha love it.
I'm so happy to see you returning to this channel, your original channel. The content you create and put on here is very high quality and entertaining. I wish I could give this video more than one like. Thanks for making this. *XD*

Hey Paul....you didn't tell ATW to Keep It Out Of The Cabbage
Thank you for sharing and all the time you put in to this video. You're awesome
Adam....one of the best RUclips videos that you have ever produced. I have stepped foot in three of the filming locations but never nailed down the precise shot angles as you have so expertly done. Congratulations on a job well done.
Great stuff Adam. Just discovered you. I look at who my subscriber watch and I kept seeing you. I like it.
Hey Adam, thanks for these awesome videos.
Lots of hard work and research.

Thanks buddy happy new year
Canadian film locations Ken? ;)
@Jason's Bucket List
- Maybe someday :D
glad to see your back Adam, I've been watching your channel for almost 7 years now and i'm glad to see your awesome videos again but i have a question, will your channels iconic intro return ?

I don't have twitter but that would be amazing if any of those fine folks see the video . I'd be honored
adamthewoo Hi Adam what about the movie Scream or Nightmare on elm Street, everyone else has been bested on not getting to the school basement in Nightmare, I figure you would make it tho 😎
Another AMAZING video! Thanks buddy! (Also... I guessed right again! :-) )

I really enjoyed this. If I could make one recommendation, have more split screens between the film and the location. Or, hold on the two of them a bit longer. Sometimes it feels as if you move on too quick. I have to pause or go back too often. Really love these videos, thanks so much for making them.

Awesome video! My wife's father's tugboat was in that movie, it's the red boat tied up to the dock.
Also, another location not mentioned during his cross country run....Forrest Gump Curve at Grandfather Mountain, NC.
I grew up in Beaufort, Lady Hilda was my favorite trawler. Gays. Have you seen the Great Santini?
"They must've filled this up a lot...... a lot higher. Either that or she is not very tall" Best statement of the month!!!
Growing up and still living in England , I was mesmerized and totally fascinated even more now I'm older by the US of A. The landscapes, the towns, the movies, the way of life I love it.
I stumbled upon your videos last month, (which we are working our way through when we can) whilst researching days out in Southern California as we are coming over mid August for 3 weeks with the family to Anaheim for our holiday ( 8th time )
I have to say you are an inspiration to those that have the fortune to break free from life's monotonous churn.
You have done and are doing all the things I dreamt of from being young...the zany magical adventuring like a real life Goonies film. To many it may seem one huge holiday but I can appreciate the long days and nights and uncertainty of your travels but by the heck they are truly superb !
If I could stitch your vlogs together into one huge edit it would be the greatest and most entertaining movie ever made !

Thnx for coming back to what so many of us appreciate.. ..and that's seeing you do what you do best. Appreciate you man!
Wow.. Thanks for finding all these locations.

Weird place for birds to have business meetings.

Alright, calm down.
🎥
I like how you left the camera falling and it not being focused in the video straight hilarious. Love your videos, your very REAL.
Awesome Adam! Love these new "documentary/adventure type" videos. You got lots of talent going on to put these together.
Some running shots, the run in the gym shorts was on the Blue Ridge Parkway as was the run up the hill. That was Grandfather Mountain in NC.
28:07 that’s me in that 73’ Ford F-250 which I still have and I have still have that license plate and that bumper sticker I still have the license plate on my truck and I can’t believe I got asked to use my truck in a film and I enjoyed it and I never got rid of my 1973 Ford F-250 people come up to me and ask that looks like the truck from Forrest Gump and I tell them it is and I show them the bumper sticker and they laugh
cohen Van Cleef did the truck get a huge dent in the side or was it special effects ?
bg01 the truck still has a dent on it and they let me keep the Gran Torino sedan that hit me in the film
cohen Van Cleef wow a free gran Torino thrown in too ? Though it looks as though it took a hard hit in the collision.
Could you make a video about the car? Would be nice to see it
Patrik kinda my phone is little messed up
superbly done. Thank you I enjoy your work.
All I know is that I love the way you do this, These moments you help recreate is the coolest thing ever. Thank you for all the research you have done.
Wow, that was truly remarkable!! The time, travel, and everything involved to piece together this gem is astounding. WOOHOO!!
Adam I need more of your zany journey’s!
Great way to start the new year!!! Best wishes for 2018 Adam🎉🎉🎉
oi
This was so much fun.
A movie classic! I love the filming location vlogs especially with clips from the movie added to match exact spots. Excellent job Adamthewoo!!!!!
lol the scene at the end where Forrest stops running, the sound of the wind is SPOT ON with the movie scene, the same wind while he's announcing he's done. I specifically remember that and thought wow how did Adam get that so perfect lol
More abandoned videos please!!! You have the BEST abandoned series!
Lacey Shields not all are abandoned . Most open to public locations
Yes, but if you look back on his Chanel you will see where he goes to abandoned amusement parks and water parks and explores them, and that is what the whole video is focused on. I love his exploration videos!
To me, the best qoute of Forest Gump is: "Im pretty tired, i think ill go home now".
14:05 LMFAO! "Either that or, she's not very tall." 😂😂😂
Relax, wasnt THAT funny
@@chuckfan1 Not funny to you. Maybe I over reacted writing my comment but I did literally laugh out loud. So, in the moment it was funny to me. I don't know why but it was
I doubt you'll see this, but, I just discovered this video today. Forrest Gump is probably my all time favorite movie. You did a fantastic job presenting all these places. It makes me want to take a road trip so bad. Thank you for sharing.
After seeing this movie easily over 50 times, this is absolutely crazy to me. Good work man. Really enjoyed it.
Great job as always! As you showed your composition book again in this video - I thought maybe a future vlog channel post can be about how you pre-plan for these epic adventures. Like ' behind the 'WOO-vie magic' :-) Happy New Year!
You read my mind . I might do that actually
If this is what we can expect from you in 2018, it's going to be a great year indeed! Fantastic job Adam! One of the greatest movies ever made. Happy new year! 🎆🎉🍾🥂
The definitive Locations videos Adam, the best content I have seen. Next stop your own TV series...... Netflix are you reading this? Honestly, entertaining, interesting and a Historic piece of work before a lot of these things go or change forever. Well done, I just don't understand who would put a dislike... don't get it.
I wonder if Adam would even know what to do with a full production crew at his disposal.
Wow, what a gem! I have seen so many of your vlogs from all these different places and am so glad I finally stumbled on this one and saw how you were slowly putting all this together! The ending was precious!
The production quality that went into this video rivals the film itself. Nice work, and thanks for visiting these places and documenting them for us!
I used to live in many of the locations used to shoot this movie. Adamthe woo, I do have to say you are NOT embelishishing anything I've seen in this video. You've done an excellent job. I've personally been to many of these locations, and even had my hair cut in that barber shop in Varnville. I have been watching your videos of abandoned buildings for a long time, and, even after this, I can say your information is accurate. I've eaten in that restaurant in Savannah where "Jenny" worked many times. In fact, I think I've sat at that table where the TV was. Not deliberately, of course....but, because I like to sit near a window when I eat. I used to live about 3 blocks from the "barber shop" in Varnville, and recognize some of the landmarks in Varnville. I now live about 20 miles from there. The school was "Hampton Street Elementary" in Walterboro, SC. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, and continues to be renovated even to this day. I've seen many plays in the auditorium, and, trust me, they are not shy about pointing out the water fountains in that hallway!
Thank you for being honest in your reviews and in your exploration. I've seen many tour guides in Savannah take liberties with "history" and embellishing their stories. You ware not even from this neck of the woods, and you did a WONDERFUL job. I can't thank you enough.
@LiveOkie I'm wondering why you thought it necessary to even reply. Shut the fuck up, bitch.
@@wdharvey1 hey, LiveOkie is hilarious! Don't diss him. He's got his own show ;) But seriously I agree with you, this Adam guy does his research. I like how he shows the detail shots to show it's the same exact spot.
@@nmarbletoe8210 I dont' care if LiveOkie has crabs, I'm sure not going to piss on him if he's on fire trying to burn them...But, yes, I do live in the area where Forest Gump, The Great Santini, Radio, Ace Ventura When nature calls (yeah, that's a bragging point), The Big Chill, Full Metal Jacket...the list goes on....so, it makes me only wondery why LiveOkie is so insecure...is it lack of intelligence or lack of self esteem, or just a general lack, in general..........
@LiveOkie OH...and I"VE been an extra in many of these movies, I"VE been asked for call-backs, I"VE also been a fluffer in a few porno's! THEY asked ME to come back off cam...funny thing, man..I"VE got a lot more experience than YOUR entitled ass, so, I"VE got some stories to tell that YOU will not pay attention to...SO, even though N Marbletoe tried to "come to YOUR rescue" since, I wasn't even talking about YOU, why do YOU think YOU are more important than ME...because, in YOUR sentence, the biggest work you could use was YOU mad NO point, and YOU are actually an entitled BEYATCH that no one wants to hear from anyway. So, YOU go stick YOUR head in a bucket of water, and YOU please, take YOURSELF a very long deep breath. YOU call me when YOU wake up. See, I can make it all about YOU very easily.
What a great work!!! Thank U very much from Europe :-*
You are so lucky to get to do what you love.
The pictures toward the end, the sun rays shining through the clouds, were so beautiful it made me emotional. Thank you for this awesome video!
So much love and talent in this vid that I find myself watching it over and over again. We've missed you so, Adam!
Happy new year Adam. That was a great video thank you!!!
ADVENTURES with Christian You did say you liked Adam the Woo
ADVENTURES with Christian ...happy new year☺... are you gonna upload again? Really dig your channel dude..have a great day☺
Brilliant job Adam this can be on the next DVD as an extra 😁
Exelent!!!
Yo
Most people will never understand how seeing a meter box or holes left on a curb by the crew or and old ramps demise would be in any way exciting but I will never get enough of it.
This video makes me so happy that you took the time to find all these spots. I commented on your daily vlog from June, 2020 that Forrest Gump is my all time favorite move - I love Tom Hanks. I also have a feather tattoo on my arm in honor of Forrest Gump. Thank you for this.
Been to one of the places you didn't do....the mountain road with the bend with runners chasing him. Cool video.
Broke down at twin arrows when it was still open. Still have the wrench a trucker lent me to try and fix my car.
My favorite flick.
It's a impressive film to say the least
I am one of your current subscribers the last few years and I went back and found this absolute gem! This was an amazing video you did here. You should’ve got a damn emmy award for this. The research to find and match up locations must have been exhausting! What an accurate diligent job you did! Thanks so much for all of your work, it’s greatly appreciated! G-d Bless you brother! I met you once in 2018 and said hello in magic kingdom near the train at the entrance to main st in Florida and I wouldn’t expect you to remember me, but I’m a fan of your channel. Wishing you much continued
success....”shall you?”
I just watched this one and the Vacation one and these are possibly the best RUclips videos I’ve ever seen 🙂 thank you so much for doing these!
SUPER job, as usual, Adam. Wishing you the happiest New Year ever. I look forward to everything you share with us.
WOW... all the background prep for this...!!!
Happy new year Rhonda
Awesome... Adam and Forrest Gump!
Adam you should make a shirt that says "wear me ... shall you ?"
I like that

Awesome job Adam! This is some real dedication to the movie. My favorite vlog of yours by far.
Watching this a year later. This was terrific. Makes me want to sit down and watch the movie again and see what I missed. Thanks for doing what you do, Adam.
Happy New Year Adam. 🍾🎉🎈
Aloha MD He Celebrates in February 🐉🈲

Adam, You are the BEST!! 👍Love all your videos 😍 Looking forward to more in 2018 ✌️
Im so glad your doing videos still Adam.
Living my life vicariously through you! Amazing video Adam, thank you. The Forrest Gump soundtrack was the soundtrack for my wedding, to my Jenny!! It’s our favourite film of all time. Cannot thank you enough! Take a bow sir....you win the internet. Would do anything to visit one of those locations, would mean so much to my wife. THANK YOU!
My first video of 2018 :)
32:33 I've been there. Back in 2012 when I visited US
Awsome! But did someone break wind at 33:22? Lol
yea I heard that too lol! thought it sounded like a camel or something!
Lmao at your time stamp it's like he shat himself then said think I'll go home now and walked with his legs wide 😂
Yep, that was a wet one. Lol
It's was a vehicle running over the rumble strip on the road side in the distance
It was a ghost...
the work, the planning, execution, editing.....this is amazing. you have stepped it up to another level. I do miss your amazing drone shots! Great Work.
Adam this is exquisite work! Love the research and the tongue-in-cheek humor...!
