    I was at the store when they were filming the last chase scene (the one where G. W. Bailey is yelling "Switcher!") . My mom went shopping and I decided to watch them film. I was amazed at how long it took to get one shot done. The one 2 second scene with them pushing over the clothes took at least an hour. I remember G.W. talking to some of the onlookers between takes. In the scene when James Spader knocks the packages out of the womans arms on the steps, I found out later that she was my friends girlfriends mom. Cool memories

    This gives me a great feeling of melancholy. I used to watch this movie all the time with my sister when we were young. Pop in the VHS, rewind it, hit play and adjust the tracking. Have not seen it since, nearly 30 years later and I still remember all the scenes you showed here. We would cycle between this movie, goonies, the never ending story, short circuit, indiana jones, who's that girl, the princess bride, back to the future, romancing the stone....haha all the 80's classics

    One of my favorite movies. Came out in 1987 when I was going through Army A.I.T. in Huntsville, PA. This movie was certainly a reminder of home and helped me keep my spirits up during my military training at the time.

    I was the biggest Mannequin nut. I'd rent that movie every single weekend! My sister just sent me this video, which was extra intriguing as I now live in Philadelphia. Definitely going to have to check some of these locations!

      Yeah, me and my wife loved that movie as kids that our official wedding song was the same wedding song from the end of that movie, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". We thought that movie was so great and that song was so romantic! I loved that you made this video - I hope someday to visit the same locations, just to reminisce!

    I've never watched the movie Mannequin. I like all of Dan Bell's content and just randomly happened to watch this video. Then I see Boscov's in Camp Hill, PA, which is not far from where I live. I've stepped foot in that store many times in the last 27 years and never knew there was a movie filmed there. I will now share this video with a lot of other people who know that Boscov's as much as I do.

    I know it'a two years too late, Dan, but if you go to the Gallery mall (or the Fashion District as it's called now) in Philadelphia, there's a shop in there called South Fellini that has one of the original Kim Catrall mannequins inside. The owners were gifted it by a friend who apparently worked on the movie. It made the news and everything.

    Just watched this film for the first time today. I saw the footage from it being used in some vapourwave/New Retro Wave music and decided to watch the film. It was silly, but it was good fun! It was really interesting to see that a lot of the fixtures and fittings from so long ago are still in place today.

      I was there when they filmed at the Boscovs mall. Completely by accident. I was about 12 and walked into the store completely unaware. I remember seeing a german shepard and people running. They finished that take and told me just to stay in the clothing rack area. I had andrew mccarthy slide right past me in bowling shoes and guards chasing him. I had no idea who any of them were. Anyway. Thats my story. LOL

    We went to Boscov's today and we were so disappointed...Illustra is no more. They have been renovating the store and they got rid of the remaining neon signs and chandeliers. It looks totally different now. The only thing that still looked recognizable was the front entrance with the lights, and the pink wall at the back of the store. I believe that the utility door is now a change room area. I didn't see the stairs either. It's too bad, as the store had a lot of character, prior to the reno. Thank you for this video though! Major long time Mannequin fan here, and looking forward to checking out the other spots while I'm in town!

    This was one of the best videos I have ever watched on RUclips...I really mean ever! Dan, I have been a faithful fan of your DeadMall Series and I watch and re-watch it all the time. I have to admit I tried to watch your other Dirty Series and they are too gross for me, and I'm afraid I'll never be able to vacation anywhere if I continue to watch them (I'm sorry). Then today, I come across your EPIC MANNEQUIN VIDEO! You just simply ROCK! For all the Mannequin die-hard fans out there, we thank you! I have been loving that movie since it came out and I was only 12 (hard swallow at today's age number however), but it always made me want to experience something like that. I always thought it was possible, too, since my late uncle was the lead window dresser in New York at I. Magnin department store. I've had a fascination of that career choice all my life. To see the the update spots on one of my all-time favorite movies...coolest thing ever. I swear we should organize a Cult Party. You're in Pennsylvania....I am a couple states west of you....I bet carlosupremefan would travel anywhere.....lol....could be a possibility. Long live the Mannequin fans! Thanks again Dan! x
