Tyler Perry's series of Madea movies have been savaged by critics (and some segments of the public). But at their core, they're simply good old fashioned comedy with a few morality lessons added. 

In this scene, Madea is going shopping at a strip mall, searching for a parking space. She sees a person pulling out and patiently waits. But an entitled woman cuts in front of Madea and steals the parking space! This is probably a situation that we can all relate to and Tyler Perry's Madea character does what we all would like to do in that situation: Takes revenge!

Like many of Perry's films, location filming was done a short distance away from his Atlanta studio complex. This scene was filmed in the nearby suburban town of Mableton, Georgia. The anchor store seen in the movie has changed, as well as the facade, however the rest of the strip mall appears to be unchanged as you'll see in this then and now filming location quick preview video.

This early Laurel and Hardy movie has the comedy team not quite yet a comedy team playing the roles that we normally associate with Laurel and Hardy. The plot was reused and tailored for the Laurel and Hardy characters in 1931 for their movie Chickens Come Home.

The scene shown in this then and now filming location video appears at the end of the film and was filmed at a very "stately home" in the Lafayette Square historic district neighborhood in Los Angeles. As you'll see in this then and now movie location video, the house - and even some of the shrubbery - remains unchanged.

Possibly the best Our Gang / The Little Rascals movie in the series, this film has all the elements that made The Little Rascals memorable: A perfect balance of comedy and pathos incorporated in a simple, relatable plot (the kids have a new teacher to start out the school year). Tying it all together are those wonderful background tunes written by Leroy Shield that have become synonymous with the series. 

In this then and now filming location quick preview video, we see Miss Crabtree (the new teacher) dropping off her new student Jackie Cooper at the corner of La Cienega Blvd and Venice Blvd in Los Angeles. This scene gives us a great view of the Pacific Electric Railway viaduct at this intersection and as you'll see in the views of the intersection today, the viaduct is gone and the intersection is rather snarled with traffic - and a pedestrian nightmare!

Pretty much unknown today, The Taxi Boys series is notable for the extensive amount of location filming incorporated into the movies. 

While they didn't realize it at the time, director Del Lord and the film crew have created a perfect time capsule of downtown Culver City, California in 1933. In this filming locations then and now video, we get to see the downtown core including the historic Culver Hotel, the Pacific Electric Railway tracks running down the middle of Culver Blvd and the Southern California Telephone Company building. With the exception of the Pacific Electric Railway tracks, pretty much everything else you'll see is still present today.

Punk rock band The Stranglers came up with a most UN-punk song in "Golden Brown" which prominently features a harpsichord!

For the music video, Leighton House in London was chosen as the filming location, and more specifically the Arab Hall (read more about this remarkable room by clicking here). The music video cuts between footage shot at Leighton House and stock footage filmed in Egypt and the Middle East. 

When this music video was released in 1982, another English band - Spandau Ballet - likely took notice and used the Arab Hall at Leighton House as the filming location for the music video for their song "Gold" in 1983.

The Little Rascals movie The First Seven Years is another of the early "talkie" films in the series, with most of the movie filmed outdoors. This time, the filming location was the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles. 

Back in 1930 when this movie was made, the Palms had a very small town look about it. Single family homes with beautiful lawns lined the tree-lined streets. Then, in the 1950s, the City of Los Angeles rezoned the Palms neighborhood for "multi-family units" which meant that one by one, the beautiful homes dating back to the early 1900s were demolished and in their place, architecturally uninspiring apartment buildings took their place. 

The then and now filming location photo above shows Mary Ann on the front lawn of 3415 Mentone Avenue. Today, the lawn has been paved over as part of the parking lot for the apartment building (built in 1968) that now occupies the site. The tree seen in this movie was cut down in the 1970s. The small patch of grass visible near the center of the photo is where the tree used to stand.

This Laurel and Hardy movie location is the Will Rogers Memorial Park in Beverly Hills. 

The park was a popular filming location in the silent movie era and also appeared in TV series and contemporary films like 2016's La La Land (which will be covered here on the site in the future). Charlie Chaplin's 1921 movie The Idle Class filmed here - you can see it in the then and now documentary video for this film in the Buster Keaton / Harold Lloyd / Charlie Chaplin Movie Locations Videos section of the site by clicking here.

Charley Chase starred in a very popular series of short comedy films in the 1920s and 1930s, many of them filmed in the downtown core of Culver City, California.

In this filming location then and now scene from the movie, the camera is on the Culver Blvd side of the historic Culver Hotel, looking west. The hotel - which is now over 100 years old - has been beautifully restored and is exactly as it was when this movie was filmed in 1925. 

What isn't the same is Culver Blvd. In the top photo, the poles visible held the wires used by the Pacific Electric Railway which at the time ran right down the middle of Culver Blvd. In those days,  Culver City residents could hop on a train to the beach or east to downtown Los Angeles. 

Unfortunately, the network of Pacific Electric Railway lines were abandoned in the 1950s. The tracks running down the middle of Culver Blvd were still in place (though mostly covered over by asphalt) as late as the 1980s. We catch a glimpse of them in the 1977 episode Moving Violation of the TV series CHiPs which you can see on Page 2 of the TV Series Filming Locations Photo Galleries by clicking here.
