My goal was to hunt down the filming locations from the 1994 film Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks. This consisted of traveling cross country to Georgia, South Carolina , Washington DC , Arizona, Utah and California . All in all I'd say it was a success. Thanks for running with me .

Happy new year Adam
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!
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
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!
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 🤔

Impressive work. Ultra detailed filming locations video. Congratulations
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
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
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.

@@harrycarrey1225 lol.
Great stuff Adam. Just discovered you. I look at who my subscriber watch and I kept seeing you. I like it.
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'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
Dsdcain Amen!!
What's the other channel called?
Nick Hall The Daily Woo
im definitely gonna see if I can donate a few quid to this guy in the near future, love it!
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?"
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.
Glad you had a great time. Where are you from?
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! 👍👍
Glad you liked it !
Thank you Adam May 2018 be the best I was in viet nam in 1968-1969 Forrest Gump is my all time fav Thanks again aka Bruce
savages48 Hey Bruce! Thank you for your service!
wow thx Josh Im watching best live streaming now did you see live Tim shave.??
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! 😀😀
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 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 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.
amazing. you're KILLING it with the new focus!!! great work!
Much appreciated buddy !
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?
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
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.
Just watched thisagain for the second time...the amount of work you put into this video is astounding. As I was watching I thought of all the time you must have spent watching the movie and google earthing and hunting in person. These uploads are an accomplishment, no doubt. I really thought you were crazy stopping the daily Woo...I am happy to say I was WRONG. Great work.
Glad you enjoyed it !
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.
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 😎
Underrated video on YT. A lot of work, time and money went into this.
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.
I miss your daily uploads.. Very much.. But this quality of content makes it worth not seeing you every day.
i'm still going thru woo-drawles too
this one was especially epic too!
Hey Paul....you didn't tell ATW to Keep It Out Of The Cabbage
You out did your self on this video. Excellent, I loved it. Bravo. Standing ovation. 👍👐🙌
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!!
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?
New Adam The Woo filming location! Instant THUMBS UP!👍
Thanks David
Thank you for sharing and all the time you put in to this video. You're awesome
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
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!
Another AMAZING video! Thanks buddy! (Also... I guessed right again! :-) )
I checked Netflix and it has Forrest Gump,so after this I know what I'll be watching lol thanks for sharing
"They must've filled this up a lot...... a lot higher. Either that or she is not very tall" Best statement of the month!!!
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
Bravo sir! The quality 👌🏻.
Hey Adam, thanks for these awesome videos.
Lots of hard work and research.
Ken
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 can really appreciate this video. One of my favorite movies. A lot of time was put into this video. Thank you for this!
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!
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 💕
Alright, calm down.
🎥
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! 🎆🎉🍾🥂
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!
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!
Weird place for birds to have business meetings.
Love the new format, Adam.
Thanks , I'm digging it too .
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!
This is your best video WOOOOO.... Im glad its getting the respect and recognition you and it deserves .......
To me, the best qoute of Forest Gump is: "Im pretty tired, i think ill go home now".
Boom! That's Adam breaking the awesome barrier...
I like that
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. 👍😎
Adam you should make a shirt that says "wear me ... shall you ?"
I like that
adamthewoo please make one :)
what? hahahaha yes make that shirt
@@adamthewoo you should go to my name is Earl filming locations☺
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 ;)
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.
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
All about the positivity ! Thanks for the comment
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.
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?”
Awesome Adam! Love these new "documentary/adventure type" videos. You got lots of talent going on to put these together.
Wow.. Thanks for finding all these locations.
Great way to start the new year!!! Best wishes for 2018 Adam🎉🎉🎉
oi
Wow, that was truly remarkable!! The time, travel, and everything involved to piece together this gem is astounding. WOOHOO!!
Adam this is exquisite work! Love the research and the tongue-in-cheek humor...!
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
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.
Fantastic work. It does mystify why people change or demolish things from such legendary movies.
I know!!! Drives me nuts too!!
WOW mr ADAM , very great video , thank you for shared👏👏👏👏👏👏
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.
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!
Hey Adam. . Just wanna to let you know that I just watched your Vlog on Forest Gump and GREAT JOB. . You had me rolling.. . And I loved your Song Pal. . If they was to give out awards for best Vlog of the year on RUclips my vote would be that one. . You worked your Ass off on EDITING THAT VLOG. . You would have got the Oscar in the category of Editing and Vlog of the Year. . I shouted out at you yesterday when I was in Fairmount. . Just wanted to shout out at you today to let you know GREAT JOB ON FOREST GUMP. . ( Now I'm watching your Shawshank Redemption ). . Which is another Great Vlog. . Thanks for all the Education and showing what's out there across the Country
Ok, so I’ve just gone down the rabbit hole of your videos, Scott on Tape and started checking out Malfunshauns videos (if I spelled that right) and I was just thinking I can’t believe nobody has done Forrest Gump filming locations and there was your video! First of all, if there were RUclips video awards, you my friend deserve the highest award for this video!!! I had no idea that movie was filmed in so many different states. You did a fantastic job on this…BRAVO!
Adam I need more of your zany journey’s!
"Adult Forrest as a child" ...oh Adam... I love your style.
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!
Such a great job with this Man..
This is my favorite movie!
I’m from Florida, but took my kids to the opening scene location in Georgia in 2018.
My daughter was just as much of a Gump junky as I am…
Thanks for this👊
This was so much fun.
Happy New Year Adam the Woo and everyone too! I’ve been anticipating this. I first watched Forest Gump on a 747 air plane ride to LA. It’s one of my favorite movies. So stoked to watch this. Thanks for making this happen.
No problem . Hope you enjoy it
That was amazing Adam. I loved your running scene reenactment with the song.
A movie classic! I love the filming location vlogs especially with clips from the movie added to match exact spots. Excellent job Adamthewoo!!!!!
I like how you left the camera falling and it not being focused in the video straight hilarious. Love your videos, your very REAL.
superbly done. Thank you I enjoy your work.
I got shot in the but-tocks.
I think Jenny was a whore. lol
John Smith how else do you think she got aids.. drugs and unprotected sex
You recovering?
They said it was a million dollar wound. The army must keep that money cuz I never saw a dime.
Starscreamlive oh my
Thnx for coming back to what so many of us appreciate.. ..and that's seeing you do what you do best. Appreciate you man!
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.
Excellent work sir.
My favorite flick.
It's a impressive film to say the least
By far one on my favorite projects you have do Every! Can’t wait to see more 👍👍👍
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!
Been to one of the places you didn't do....the mountain road with the bend with runners chasing him. Cool video.
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☺
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.
So much love and talent in this vid that I find myself watching it over and over again. We've missed you so, Adam!
What a great work!!! Thank U very much from Europe :-*
Brilliant job Adam this can be on the next DVD as an extra 😁
This is great, Adam! Running with ya!
Adam, U are simply amazing. thanks for sharing all of ur adventures with us. I love seeing everything U share with us....I've learnt so much. gotta run and watch ur next vlog :)
P.S. Your New Years Day release was very fitting because Gary Sinise was the Grand Marshal in the Rose Parade this year! Awesome!!!
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
Adam you are awesome.
Thank you for coming back and keep us laughing dude ✌🏻
I have no idea who this guy is, what makes him happy or his hobbies but this has made my day. Great to see these places and what they’re like now. Have a great day! Thank you.
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
Thank you!! One of my favorite movies!!
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!
You are so lucky to get to do what you love.
