Teen Wolfe





This is a capture from the original trailer to 1985's Teen Wolf starring Michael J. Fox (click the image to enlarge). This scene shows Fox's character (this is, no doubt, a stunt double) standing on the roof of a box van while he and Styles, his friend and the driver of the box truck, sing along to the Beach Boys. Look closely and you'll see they're 'van surfing' down Fair Oaks, which is a main artery through nearby Sunnyvale, California..

Which brings me to a couple questions...

  1. Assuming there's more than one Fair Oaks Boulevard in the world, was this scene actually shot in Sunnyvale?
  2. And if so, why on earth didn't they show him van-surfing nearby Wolfe Road?
