Kindergarten Cop : Worlds Collide
One of my new years resolutions was to put together a website for my film and tv location tours, blog and other bits and bobs. So it is now January 16th and here we are! First attempt at a website since I was approximately 16 years old and had to do one for an ‘Information Technology’ class. I will be posting my location tour videos here so check back often for updates. I whipped this random 80’s title together from a basic generator online.
Real life filming locations from some of my favourite movies – including Amelie, The Goonies, Stand By Me, Rocky, The Exorcist, The Karate Kid, Groundhog Day, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Back to the Future. Filmed in France, Germany and the United States of America. My favourite montage.
In ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ – Red (Morgan Freeman) fronted up to three different parole board meetings during his time at Shawshank Prison. In this video, I step in for the Parole Board Officer during Red’s final hearing to decide his fate. Filmed at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio.

GHOST : 4 MILLION DOLLAR CHEQUE
Near the end of 1990’s ‘Ghost’ – Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) convinces Oda-Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg) to hand over a 4 million dollar cheque to nice old nuns. Oda Mae is very reluctant to do this. I return to Wall St in New York City, some years later, to investigate another ‘Ghost’ filming location.
In 1990’s ‘Ghost,’ the character of Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) is shot in a mugging as he walks home with his wife Molly (Demi Moore). I investigate the actual filming location in SoHo, New York City.
