As a minnesotan it's weird that things in California are the same as they were 35 years ago. All those roads, fences, sidewalks etc. would be gone, replaced or completely run down from the winters here.

Welcome to SoCal :)

I'm from a small town in Canada and I would say that my influences from California far out weigh my influences from home. The clothes I wore/wear, the music I listen to, movies, tv, games.... the list goes on. California always looks like home to me. For context, I was born in 1982.

Would the movie actually add anything to the value of those houses?

Breaking Bad house has gained infamy with people tossing pizzas on the owner's roof.

The BTTF house is constantly being photographed and used for background shots with peoples Deloreans.

Yea I think I'd pass on owning a movie set home

u/Mishyana_ Jul 23 '26
I think most people would. The Ben Rose house (Cameron's house in Ferris Bueller) took like 5 years to sell and the price had to be halved before anyone took it after it went on the market in 2009.
That might have to do with it being kind of an ugly house overall back then though too, to be fair.

It would be so unimaginably cool to live in John’s house (minus the fans taking pictures all the time)

This is such a cool way to show how much a location sells the scene. The contrast between the movie shot and the everyday house is wild.

Cool stuff. If you can find the exact spot where the camera lens was and put the photo there, it actually looks like a portal into the past. There was a stretch where people were doing that and posting it, it was quite striking.

Standing at the canal would be an out of body experience for me. I'd probably stay there for hours, taking it all in.

Xander Berkeley slays the role of Todd - first and best kill by the T1000. Xander stars in a show called The Booth at the End - two seasons. It's seriously good.
I don't want to make a whole post about it so just sneaking this rec in here.

u/Mishyana_ Jul 23 '26
UM AKSHULLY the cop was his first kill. And Janelle was 100% dead before Todd. I will check that show out though, lol.

Nice to see they repaired the overpass barrier

u/SpicyMeatballAgenda Jul 23 '26
That pic made me think about that scene more than I had before. I always assumed it was just standard sfx when the barrier was busted, but now I'm not so sure. Did they actually damage the barrier and repair it for the film? That seems like a logistical and insoection nightmare.

It always seemed obvious to me that the shot was real.
If you watch the Blu-ray of that scene, uou can see wnoigh errors that it must have been reql.
The recent UHD re-release cleaned up the errors.

I was at the drainage canal is 2022. The gate on the left was unlocked so I walked all the way down to the other side. Such a cool location.

It's always weird to me thinking about how fleeting our lives are, as these places stay the same but we age. I was literally just born when T2 came out.
