Transcripts

welcome people of planet Earth and all

planets Beyond thank you guys so much

for watching my name is Josh and this is

a breakdown of the 1987 cult classic

film The Lost Boys this is the

grandfather of sexy vampire movies they

walked so Twilight could run now this

breakdown is a little bit different than

the breakdowns you're probably used to

normally you're looking for plot holes

or messages in a scene uh but in this

breakdown we're actually going to look

at the clothing worn in the movie look

at some of the costume design and and

see if we can find an ID some of the

clothing worn in this film now in this

opening shot we are flying over the

fictional city of Santa Carla which is

actually the real city of Santa Cruz

which is kind of important because Santa

Cruz is going to come up multiple times

throughout this breakdown so pay

attention now as we descend here on the

carousel full of young people enjoying

their night curiously enough there's

basically just teenagers out here and

some adults here on this innocent

Carousel we meet are four Lost Boys

which also happen to be vampires David

Paul Marco and Dwayne and they are by

far the best dressed in the entire film

but we'll talk more about their costumes

later in the video now here we see our

first identifiable piece of clothing one

of the surf Nazis girlfriends is wearing

a Levi's denim jacket or at least it was

a jacket till she cut the sleeves off

now it's just like a shirt jacket but

that was a look for the times this one

appears to be a standard Levis type 3

jacket most most likely a 70506 for the

model number which is a very common

model in the mid 80s then after the

scuffle between the surf Nazis and the

vampires gets broken up yes that is

actually what's happening here in this

film uh we see this t-shirt right here

this is a t-shirt from the movie A

Clockwork Orange it says Ultraviolence A

Clockwork Orange and the term

Ultraviolence was used by lots of punks

and skin heads into the80s and clearly

the costume designer was trying to paint

these guys in that light and if you've

ever seen A Clockwork Orange you know

what I mean we also see this guy wearing

this Mexican blanket Poncho drug rug

which was a pretty common site in

coastal California at the time now as

our two protagonists enter Santa Carla

for the first time we get the people are

strange montage and in this Montage we

have a mixture of like lost and bored

gutter punks mixed with like Carefree

summer days teenager which is definitely

an intentional move by Joel Schumacher

and Susan Becker the costume design

designer Susan Becker the costume

designer for The Lost Boys actually told

us that for all these shots they

costumed every single one of them and

made sure they were designed

specifically to communicate the sort of

uh homeless Lost Boys in a Towny coastal

town field that they were trying to go

for here we have a couple skate punks

one is wearing what I think is actually

a Levi's denim jacket that's been

heavily modified we also see here a

Santa Cruz skateboards slasher

skateboard obviously remember we're in

Santa Cruz uh we're we're going to see

that Santa Cruz reference a lot

obviously it was popular at the time but

I also think it's pretty interesting

there's sort of subtle hints as to where

they are couple more gutter punks s it

here by the curb can't really identify

much more of their outfits but we can

identify those sneakers and those are

convers Allstar I remember as a punk kid

all I wanted in the world were Converse

Allstar even into the 2000s here's

another piece we can identify this is an

IOU denim sweatshirt IOU denim was one

of these fashion brands that uh

basically built a business on being able

to import from other countries uh before

importing was as big a deal in the '90s

and uh they didn't last particularly

long late ' 80s and the early '90s at

most as far as I can tell now here's one

of my favorite t-shirts in the entire

film and that's this edroth ratfink ratf

was born out of the mind of Ed Roth a

highly influential artist from Coastal

California who did lots of art

pertaining to hot rods and random weird

monsters kind of grimy definitely has a

sort of punk vibe for sure um but his

t-shirts were incredibly popular through

the 60s into the 70s and the 80s he had

a shop in coastal California did lots of

airbrushes and had lots of t-shirts that

were printed uh over the years in fact

you could buy his designs and from like

magazines and such and actually screen

print them or heat transfer them onto

your own t-shirts so in my opinion this

is a perfect choice for a t-shirt for

some random guy at a gas station to be

wearing in coastal California now this

may be the most famous ratfink design

but there are many more now if you're

interested in other ratfink t-shirts you

should check at our sponsor def. comom

Archive of vintage t-shirts where we

found this exact T-shirt design they're

the sponsor of this video and if you are

ever interested in learning more about

vintage t-shirts and all of vintage

t-shirt culture they are the place to go

and so go check out their archive where

we found this design and many more now

here we catch a glance of Sam's sneakers

they are the 1980s Converse weapon

sneakers we often think of Converse we

think of the you know Chuck Taylor

Allstar but in the80s Converse was

making Sports sneakers basketball

sneakers and all kinds of other sneakers

to compete with the likes of Nike Adidas

and Reebok uh they have obviously since

not been in that market specifically but

in the 80s they certainly were these

were definitely sneakers that you would

want to be seen wearing we also see Sam

wearing this oversized like pinkish uh

collar shirt I don't have a specific ID

for this exact shirt but we're going to

talk more about uh Sam's style later on

in the film here we've got young punk

sporting the uh gbh a classic UK punk

band on his leather jacket which seems a

little bit big for him notice here we

have some airbrush t-shirt artists

airbrush t-shirts were very popular in

the 70s and the ' 80s obviously I think

we've moved past that by now uh but

again these were really common back then

uh this was a really important part of

like Coastal California culture now here

in this car we can actually see this

guy's wearing a de leopard Pyromania

from

1983 looks like he may have his sleeves

cut off maybe not but uh uh definitely a

popular band at the time and this

t-shirt is still super cool now it's

Friday night at the beach and we have a

concert led by Tina Turner saxophone

player ironically uh in really tight

purple spandex pants this song actually

Bops in my opinion this is dope there's

an original version this is better than

the original version but here in the

crowd we can actually point out at least

one t-shirt out of all this we can see a

journey t-shirt this lady's wearing

right here it's hard to see but it is

there another t-shirt we can see and

identify in the crowd is this belray

t-shirt which apparently is like a

Motocross or motorcycle racing team or

parts company now as star is retreating

into the crowd we can see this guy right

here wearing a Rip Curl t-shirt Rip Curl

is one of those Brands out of Australia

that was really big in the surfer

communities in California at the time

also want to point out this extra right

here uh this guy's giving me main

character Vibes I think he you know he

looks right at the camera which you're

not supposed to do as an extra but uh he

definitely looks cool he definitely

looks the part then we have another guy

right behind him who also looks right at

the camera for a split second wearing

this Santa Cruz hoodie interesting about

the Santa Cruz hoodie this is like their

alternate logo again I told you guys

we're going to see Santa Cruz reference

all through partly because it's skat you

know it's skateboard era uh but also we

are technically in Santa Cruz but you

don't see this logo very often at least

not on garments um and this particular

item uh we have not actually been able

to locate a live version of it so it's

still out there somewhere now notice

here in the crowd it's kind of blurry

but you can definitely see it we have a

Levis jackon patch clearly this lady is

wearing some form of Levis uh my guess

it's possible at least that she's

wearing like a 512 which would have been

like a a tapered slim fit high-rise Jean

now here let's talk a little bit about

Sam's style clearly this guy loves his

colors his vibrancy a very 80s thing to

be wearing he's clearly at least a

little bit influenced by the Memphis art

group and Memphis style art which was uh

emphasizing colors and shapes and uh

sort of an optimistic emotional feel

versus like

functionality was a staple and sort of

like the quintessence of the80s uh but

we see a lot of Sam's garments looking

that way definitely having the the

colors sort of the squiggles and uh some

of the art uh Styles in his clothing and

curiously enough the Memphis Milano

group actually produce shirts like

collar shirts just like this that you

can buy here are a couple examples I

don't know if this shirt is a Memphis

Milano I haven't found the exact copy uh

but it's certainly influenced by him

then we meet the notorious frog Brothers

Cory Feldman here wearing the uh why

Waltz when you can rock and roll M16

T-shirt with the red flannel and Allen

sporting the US Army coveralls which is

actually kind of interesting because

let's take a look here at this patch

this patch was from the 11th Army Corp

activated in the 1940s during World War

II and it was disbanded by the end of

World War II so is this a World War II

era cover all I don't know but certainly

the patch is from that era then we see

latty the youngest half vampire wearing

this like Victorian era bellhop jacket

which the costume designer Susan Becker

actually told us was an actual antique

period piece it wasn't a Repro it was

actually from that era from the

Victorian era so that's pretty cool also

this innocent bystandard wearing a

Blazer but underneath the Blazer we

still have a cool band t-shirt from the

who then as Sam is entering the Frog

brother comic book store we see this guy

in the background wearing this

mysterious t-shirt this is actually Joe

Ferrera the owner of Atlantis fantasy

world which is the actual real life

comic book shop that this scene was

filmed in here he is as an extra wearing

this shirt that we cannot identify in

fact I contacted Joe and see if he could

remember but he could not he could

remember that he was wearing another

shirt on the set and that is this shirt

right here this is a mage t-shirt made

by the company graffiti Mage was a comic

book character that he was fond of but

we cannot identify this actual t-shirt

he's wearing in the actual scene so if

you know what this is or if you've got

any idea leave it in the comments below

we would really like to figure this one

out then we have Allen frog in this

Airborne mess with the best die like the

rest t-shirt definitely in line with

this character then we see Sam wearing

this shirt very Sam very loud very bold

this is a Colorado sort of all over

print uh made by maler and crew in fact

look I'm wearing it this is not the

screen worn shirt but it is a version of

it that was mass-produced at the time

very hard to find uh but uh how do you

think it looks and then in another sort

of blinking you'll miss it moment we

have this Santa Cruz t-shirt right here

this is a classic Santa Cruz skateboard

t-shirt that you would have seen

commonly in the area now here in the

vampire layer where the Lost Boys

vampires are trying to get Michael to

become one of them we see this sort of

shrine for Jim Morrison here and Jim

Morrison is actually really important to

the style of this film Joel schearer was

a big fan and loved Jim Morrison's style

and so he and Susan Becker the costume

designer used Jim Morrison as a sort of

style influence for not only the whole

film but the Wardrobe now here we can

see all of the vampires wearing their

individual outfits Susan wanted each one

of these to sort of reflect the

personality of each vampire so she

actually worked with each one of them to

to design their own costumes Susan

actually told us they had to produce

like six each for each costume because

some of them had to be designed

specifically with stunts in mind so

while there are several versions of each

of these costumes out there you will not

believe what some of these have sold for

so stick around to the end of the video

where we reveal the astronomical prices

paid for these lost boys costumes now

back to Sam for a moment he is just

reading in bed scared for his life we

can see this shirt he's wearing right

here is another Rip Curl shirt again

it's very loud and in your face but that

was the times and that's clearly Sam's

style now after Michael makes it back

from his allight vampire binge we see

him laying on his bed I want to point

out the jeans that he's wearing I

believe these are Levis 501s they are

certainly Levis we've seen that in other

scenes but I do believe they are 501s

based on the way the crotch sort of

Folds uh the button flies were tended to

have that sort of fold versus the 505

which had a zipper I'm not sure what

kind of sneakers he's wearing so if you

know let us know in the comments so

here's another shirt worn by Sam that

has given me absolute fits I actually

talked to Susan Becker the costume

designer and she actually doesn't

remember what it was either so I want to

ask and see if you can help me identify

this shirt there's obviously cartoon

characters all over this shirt there is

a word in red now the best I can tell

the red word here looks like actt with

the number three at the end which I'm

pretty confident is there I don't know

what these characters are or what

they're from if you know please let me

know in the comments below now Sam is

calling the Frog Brothers about his half

vampire brother and Allan frog is

wearing this shirt right here which I

believe is an Uzi t-shirt the uzi was a

very common and popular gun in 80s

action films so it's no surprise Alan

frog might be sporting the T-shirt so

here underneath all of the garlic we see

Sam wearing a born to shop t-shirt

apparently Sam and his family were

originally from Phoenix which is

incredibly hot outside so the mall is

the most popular and common thing to do

most likely in the 1980s now here in

this scene Michael is brought out to the

beach to become a full vampire by

committing his first kill and of course

the Lost boy vampires are back at it

again attacking the surf nais but in the

midst of all this chaos we can actually

see a t-shirt that we haven't seen

before now it's obviously hard to see in

this Darkness but here on the back of

this t-shirt you can see what appears to

be a skateboarder this t-shirt is

actually a t-shirt design that was sold

by the Transworld Skateboard Magazine at

the time but this one I think is a

little bit different from the standard

Design This one on the front side has

some wording that does not necessarily

seem to spell out skateboard or

Transworld uh but has a date that says

1987 uh the design on the back is

clearly a trans World design but I'm

wondering if this t-shirt specifically

is not their generic one that they sold

in the magazine but actually a t-shirt

that was produced for a particular event

now the Frog Brothers ared to help Sam

and Michael rescue star and kill the

vampires Allan frog is wearing another

cool t-shirt here this one says Mac dog

I'm not sure what else it says but it's

certainly inspired by the military

t-shirts that he is often wearing a lot

of these t-shirts could be found at

military surplus stores at the time or

specifically sold for uh veterans now

here we get a good look at Michael's

sunglasses these are often misreported

as Rayban Club Masters but these are

actually the courland Santa Cruz clubmen

again there's a Santa Cruz reference

lots of Santa Cruz references courand

was a much smaller frames designer in

the 80s and is still around today now as

Marco the vampire is about to get a

steak through the heart let's talk about

his jacket clearly Punk influences are

very evident here this jacket was built

by Susan Becker on a Levis 506 black

denim jacket frame and take a look at

the back which you don't often see

actually has a Princess Leia sort of

motif here on the back obviously the

punk logos and patches and different

threads and materials abound on this

jacket I think this is one of the

coolest jackets uh maybe I've ever seen

to be completely honest in terms of

design absolutely super cool you could

definitely see uh any celebrity rocking

one of these jackets today now as Paul

the vampire is about to get eliminated

via a garlic bath let's talk about his

outfit here it appears he's wearing a

bleached out Levis 501 Levis were the

common frame by which a lot of these

costumes were built this costume is

built on a tuxedo jacket it's got safety

pins on one side and other metal

trinkets on the other also you can see

right here the earring that he's wearing

it's got a skull and a dagger this one

was actually sold at auction and it sold

for

$3,125 then the next vampire death goes

to Dwayne wearing this motorcycle jacket

with the leopard painted on the side of

the arm this one is a super cool jacket

not sure who the manufacturer of the

jacket is but I love the painting on

this when I was a punk kid as a teenager

I just loved painting on leather jackets

I just thought it has such a cool patina

after it wears over time this one is

definitely one of the cooler ones inside

of it was inscribed by Corey ha the

famous line death by stereo that is a

really cool touch to this particular

jacket now I haven't revealed the

auction price for these jackets and

that's because they all sold at a lot

and that means we have one more to cover

and that is kefir southerland's

character David the vampire David's

costume was built on a clothcraft by

Joseph and Feist trench coat most likely

because they would need multiple

versions of these jackets for all of the

stunts so they got something they could

get right off the rack instead of custom

building absolutely everything so

conceivably you can actually find this

actual jacket frame out there in the

world David's jacket had lots of little

trinkets on it like watches and random

buttons and curiously enough on the

production tag that would be used to

later catalog and archive these costumes

uh was the production number

666 now for the big reveal some of these

jackets have been sold individually for

like 5,000 to 15,000 but all these

jackets were put into one collection and

sold as one lot in

2022 and the waiting bid was

8,750 to own these pieces of Cinema
