Batman crew blows up "Gotham General Hospital"

[mikejaz2]

Yeah, they wouldn't even let people who lived behind the building sit on their roofs...extra cautious, they were...

[Burntshmallow]

Holy crap! No wonder it looked so real in that scene!

[randomman009]

I hope they emptied the place first

[mikejaz2]

And a couple of other comments...LAY OFF PalladinConstantin, he's absolutely right. What did all you imperialist Amerikans think was gonna happen since you keep mistreating the rest of the world? and GrimReaper 19, they put the "kaboom" into the film in sound post production...there was some booms, but on-set "practical" explosions tend not to be too noisy as they're there for reference for the magic of the post technicians to augment and make "real good"...

[mikejaz2]

Uh, yeah...I guess that's good? Glad u innjoyed it...

[Aznswordsman007]

PU~~~!!!!!!!

[22mattiscool]

WOW bad

[mikejaz2]

NO, it was not a hospital, Dojiro. It was the office building on the premises of the closed Brach candy factory at Cicero and Lake St in Chicago, dressed up to look like "Gotham General Hospital"

[Dojro]

no they actually found a hospital that was closing down and blew it up

[Randomvids243]

Did they really just build an entire building to blow it up?

[Reanitheory1]

This would have been epic if the forgot to put film in the cameras

[hammy012]

If that scene failed....oh no...

[knicksfan3]

how kinky of you.. is this what your fantasies made of... sucking off shitty presidents

[knicksfan3]

rot in hell

[GrimReaper19]

Where is the kaboom?! There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

[GTADIFF]

wow

[noiseache]

The building was the Brachs Candy corporate headquarters in Chicago.

[PwnageSubs]

I couldnt' be a parking spot because it's so large

[PwnageSubs]

except the bottom

[Mordain607]

The sides you see in the movie have windows. And when you see the big part, you can't tell as it's covered by the fire of the explosion.

[314noceu]

Hey you know, you can use computers to add things like windows into an image after you've filmed them. Don't know if you got the memo. It's called CG. In fact, in the actual film, it looks -exactly- like a hospital.

[FlyingSausagePro]

i cant believe they actually acted this out, i mean...you only get 1 try...i would have filmed the building, then put heath in front of a green screen and added that to the building scene...to be safe

[314noceu]

Safe is for pussies. Back in the 80's an explosion in a movie was a real explosion. Nobody ever got hurt from that.

[cheerabbitchan]

Christopher Nolan for you. Both he and Heath Ledger had the balls to blow up a real building.

[muttdingwall]

Imagine if the the camra man forgot to turn on the camera!? They couldn't really re-take that could they?

[superkartz]

they got multiple cameras u dummy

[freebyrd1958]

super im sure mutt meant the amateur ..the one that sent uploaded this vid...doof

[DarkBeauty911]

Yeah, that'd be hilarious! Or... "You guys, I forgot my lines!" Thank God he didn't have any lines in that part.

[LShackley]

In the film, I recognized the colors of the old Brach building, which I passed on the train every day for years.

[ankerman92]

not anymore u wont lol

[Ted407262]

haha what would happen if the bus didn't start?

take 2!...

[kramerw22]

LMFAO!

[kramerw22]

yea heath was on that bus,the part in the movie where he runs into the bus and it takes off as the hospital explodes.and im sure there was probably some REALLY lucky people that caught a glimpse of heath while the cameras wher rolling

[kramerw22]

OMFG!i keep jizzing myself everytime i see this

[skaterdogee]

Heath Ledger / Joker was on the yellow school buss that goes infront of the exploding building

[rararea]

claaaaaaaaaaaaaaass

finished result is in my new video i made for the joker :) go watch

[CALiGiRL1213]

[ArianaRavencrow]

AWESOME! Nice that you got such a close shot of that, and the bus too

[Dancer4118]

[C377PhoneVideo]

RIP HEATH!

[xxblackskyxx]

[dustitoff797]

wow.

one year ago today.

RIP Heath

[Joe666Jake]

the joker was on the school bus that past infront of the exploasion!

[sachiko808chan]

Aww, man, it's too bad that you didn't get the Joker in.

But that was my favorite part anyway[;

[Landmark356]

Not the first time a building was renamed and then demolished for a movie.

[bRe3yBbii]

dIz mOvIe iS sO fReAkIn aWsoMe

lUvz IT!!!

((:

[jediknight3046]

Did you see Heath ledger in a nurse outfit?

[Bullygamer]

he was in the bus leaving in the end

[woobyweavo]

u cant reallii see him cuz remember in da movie he jumps in da buz nd goes wen dis clip started u culdnt see da bus or wen he jumped in it

[carrotcrow13]

i bet that HAD to be done in one take xD

[xCarlx94x]

nah, they coulda bought another building, :P

[madskillzgurl]

That is AWESOME...i still dnt see Heath Ledger though...somebody help me lol

[Biscuitchris7again]

he's not there...this is a different shot from the one he was in...they just edit them together...

[DarkKnightJokerJokes]

yeah! thats my favorite part....

[OreoLubber]

LOL those lucky ppl bein able to watch a movie set... that would be awesome... SOOO was Heath Ledger and the rest acting on that set too??

[sevegarza]

My dad used to work there back when it was a candy factory

[AuroraDragon19]

0:11 lol, I see the Joker in his bus.

[GellyWolf]

Hey, you're right! Wth!

Good notice xD

[AuroraDragon19]

It's as funny as when Heath just walks out of the hospital when stuff is exploding when there's like nothing happening. Here, Heath just drives away from the hospital like nothing happened. lol

[cpssnorman]

they watched that like a show. lol

[x0krissymich]

damnn, they did a reallll good job for only one take. the joker so sexy with his nurse uniform on too. ;]]

[xitxwasxkellyx]

ah my joker was der

[crowamonghens]

man. i drove past this place every day coming home from work....

[dinglenutts]

i happend to be a patient in that building when it blew and batman saved me

[Tannerita]

i was in that building when it exploded and i was working out at the time. Then i saw! BATMAN AHAHAHHHHH

[maceonyourface]

lol, it would really suck if they screwed up while filming this scene XD

[Guest3791140]

lmao!! hell yeah! then they wouldhav 2 rebuild the hospital redo the bombs and EVERYTHING! lol i can't even imagine HOW they would do it again but good thing they didn't screw up! lol :p

[maceonyourface]

lol

*makes mistake while filming*

... errr... well! uhh... time to find a new hospital! ^^;;;

xD

[Guest3791140]

lmfao! i know imagine they had 2 do that and they mess up again......"next hospital"next thing u know they are all out of hospitals ;p

[carrotcrow13]

warner would try their best not to wanna castrate whoever mesed up the scene. I mean you probably wouldn't theres nothing funny about it, so no giggles, only thing I can think of is heath falling/tripping..and he'd probably work it or something. I mean I doubt they had other buildings resembling this EXACTLY.

[Xcreaturesproject]

Did they actually film the movie like this? I mean did Ledger really walk out of the building then the crew blew it to hell? plze reply.

[CreamFilledCookie]

Yup.

One take only.

[Xcreaturesproject]

waz the explosion suppoz 2 stop like that so he could press it a bunch a timmes or waz it a real malfunction and he just played it out?

[CreamFilledCookie]

You can see their is a breif pause so that he could do his comedy relief.

Therefore, I would guess that it was supposed to stop.

[TheFarmFreak]

nah that was a blooper that they added to the movie

[freakdush]

i already saw the movie and thats the part when the joker has the nurses uniform and then he ran out the building and the explosion stoped and then he kept keeping pressing the bomb button thats how it explodes

and you will see the joker ware a nurses uniform in the cartoon just liked they copyed in the cartoon you should see it every body if you did you would notice the part.

[yfzrider13]

The part where he keeps pressing the button wasn't supposed to happen. The building didn't blow at first but he stayed in character and made one of my favorite scenes.

[evolutionfilms]

how do u know that

[CreamFilledCookie]

Internet. Duuuuh.

[johnoman123]

cool

[SickDrummer2438]

How where they able to get this shot in the movie without having seen all the people cheering and stuff?

[CreamFilledCookie]

The explosion would've been too loud to catch any of it. Plus, there's music in the background.

[mjca91]

Wow I wish I could work for a movie and blow up things

[SednaDeli]

Wow. And if you look closely, you can see the schoolbus where Heath Ledger, as the Joker, is riding off in a pink and white maid's uniform.

[21LA]

yea i caught that to :)

[AngelofMusic04]

Nurse's outfit.

[Daxter82690]

Nurse outfit..

[gammaman296]

when batman falls from the building, thats my dads building lol no joke

[funnyfeetproductions]

that is really cool!!!

[JHOW95]

i live in worth and i was able to see the smoke from that

[perfectshot50]

we live in chicago and didnt get to see it. sucks.

[Dousch]

:OOOOOOOOO wow

[moneyshot6]

[jugggernautttt]

[RKO1994]

THIS EXPLOSION IS IN THE TRAILER OF THE DARK KNIGHT!!!!!! remember joker in the trailer is like " You see your a just a freak.....like me!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOm

[shadowprince101]

this scene is going to be sooooo awesome in the movie ..... i can't wait !!!!!

[JandJRaw2]

[HoonurTX]

lol

[oldirrtydoogz]

that was the joker in the school bus thats how he escapes

[xXTheJokerXx]

you'll see in the movie lol

[zombie2012]

Excellent, awesome to see it from this angle. I was across the street.

[albee1000]

Very cool. Former candy factory, huh?

"The long-simmering feud between Mike Teevee and Willy Wonka takes a bloody turn ..."

[xjqw]

I'm guessing the Schoolbus seen leaving the parking lot can only be driven by one person. *maniacly laughs*

[adhfan75]

HAHAHA!! Too correct my good sir!

lol! XD

[mikejaz2]

You guys oughta see the real video, either the original DV file or the MP4 compression...looks so much better. YouTube compression SUCKS BIG ONES!
