Oh my gosh!!! I’m a HUGE fan of The Outsiders!!! I am planning on visiting Tulsa in October! Thanks for giving me all these places to visit in addition to the Outsiders House! Stay Gold!
Hey, Absolutely amazing. Extremely informative. I remember watching this movie when I was a kid, I still watch it today. Pony boy was my favourite character and I had the biggest hots for cherry. I believe the actress who plays her is actually indeed married or used to be married to someone famous in the movies. Thank you both yet again and more so for the bonus material… the acting 🤣. Extremely authentic 🙏❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Thanks so much Wayne! It's such a classic movie (and novel!) Diane Lane is a beautiful actress, and you're correct - she was married to Josh Brolin (who you might remember as the big brother in Goonies, among other roles) but they're now divorced. Anyway, thanks for watching our videos!
@@Our80sLife Good morning. Yes, I remember him. Brilliant movie. If my memory serves me correctly, the last movie I watched of his was Sicario, along with Emily Blunt. Emily is one of my favourite actresses. Let’s face it, when was the last time we saw a woman taking the leading role in a movie? It’s great to see a female take centre stage without taking her clothes off regardless how beautiful she is. When I watch film I like how an Actor/Actress makes a fictional character come to life, when ilia the viewer actually thinks we’re watching a real life person, I absolutely love that. That’s what shows a great Actor/Actress. Now days it’s all about money, getting the Actor/Actress to promote the movie. I’m sorry, I think I’ve gone completely off track here …oops sorry 🤣. I’m not hinting here but I’ve you both watched the 80s cheesy movie, No retreat no surrender? It’s my all time favourite 80s movie believe it or not? one of actors (Dean the Shooting Star Ramsay) played my Dale Jacoby follows me on instagram lol we we actually follow each other lol hi cools that? Basically he was impressed my knowledge of the movie as it was so such a long time ago.
In "The Complete Novel" version there is a scene where Ponyboy walks into the living room and sees Tim Shepherd sitting on the couch and reading a newspaper. I definitely remember reading about this part in the book.
In the Complete Novel version, it doesn’t work, because they also kept the scene in, where they later arrive at the rumble, and Tim acts as though he hasn’t seen or even know Ponyboy.
It looked terrible in the movie, but the house that's there now is actually pretty nice. I think that neighborhood has transitioned well over time. It would be cool to live in a part of movie-making history! Thanks for watching our video :)
I'm glad someone finally mentioned Will Rogers HS. Another fun fact, when the book was released in paperback. It was not allowed to be read in Will Rogers HS. I graduated from there in 1993. It would have been great to have the addresses of these locations.
Thanks so much Brian! We're glad you enjoyed our video. How crazy that the book wasn't allowed at Will Rogers initially, wow!! It's such a classic in school curriculums now, thankfully! Let us know if there's a specific address we can help you with. Here's a great resource for the filming locations with addresses & Google maps included: www.thennowmovielocations.com/2020/10/the-outsiders.html Stay Gold :)
Yes!! It has definitely aged well, still great! If you get a chance, watch the Complete Novel edition. We loved the new edits and extra footage. Thanks for stopping by our channel! Stay gold ☀️
Aww, thanks so much! We're glad you're enjoying our videos! In case you missed it, we have a playlist of other filming location videos you might like. Here's a link: czcams.com/play/PLWh-RJ-D1iWVqrToGD9b0OuwbY3QGOXQD.html
I don't remember this movie all that well but I know many have said it's a cool movie. I will definitely watch it this summer with my family. That Dallas shooting reenactment was hysterical. 😆 And get Ben & Erin from Hometown to restore the Rexall Store asap, I like those old soda fountain places! Incidentally, every time I hear Matt Dillon, I always think of Gunsmoke with James Arness. I watched those reruns with my dad during my childhood and occasionally when I visit him today. Just funny, it was years until I realised there was an actual actor with that name.
The Outsiders is an interesting story with tons of devoted fans. Neither of us read the book in school, but many middle/high school students did (and still do!) I really enjoyed both the movie and the book, and we'd definitely recommend seeing it. Try to watch the "complete novel" version of the movie if you can. I couldn't believe Keith rolled out into the street for that reenactment. He nailed it, lol! And yes, that Rexall needs help (and fast!!)
Awesome!! S.E. Hinton grew up in Tulsa, so it's nice they actually filmed the movie in the real place where she wrote The Outsiders. Thanks for watching our video!
I love The Outsiders. So, I’ve decided to watch the other SE Hinton adaptations. I watched Tex the other day. I still need to watch Rumble Fish and That was Then, This is Now. I wish they would make a move based on Taming The Star Runner.
I drove through the neighborhood today! I also made a stop by the Boston Avenue Methodist Church. I remember when the filming took place. A good friend of mine was Matt Dylan's double.
Wow this is the coolest one yet for me. As a kid this book was absolutely a favorite of mine tied with Rumblefish which is another by SE Hinton. That movie has not aged a day it is still outstanding. Because of that movie and a few others came my love of knives. I've had the chance to get a replica of Johnny's switchblade but that was a long time ago before I could afford it. I'm on the lookout now all the time.
Wow!! We didn’t realize The Outsiders influenced your love of knives. That’s so interesting! We’ll have to check out Rumblefish as well. Glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks Flint! Stay gold ☀️
Curtis Brothers Lane, that's freaking AWESOME. When did they place the sign there, do you know Abby and Keith? Great video! Also I have the movie, I watch it all the time. I watch anything from the 80s, 70s and 60s. Never read the book though.
It's really cool! The new street signs were unveiled on August 5, 2016. If you're on Facebook and love The Outsiders, we recommend joining the official Outsiders House FB group called "The Friends of 731 N. St. Louis Ave." which is run by museum founder, Danny Boy O'Connor.
Nice! I believe the courtroom scenes were filmed there. Sadly, those scenes weren't included in the original movie, but thankfully they were added to The Complete Novel version. It would've been really cool to be an extra. Thanks for stopping by our channel Kim!
The DX is doing great, even more improvements since our visit! You can follow its progress on Facebook. They have a group called "Friends of the DX Gas Station Sperry, Okla."
Grew up in Tulsa and snuck in the Admiral Twin many times. Ran into a filmaker in Napa where I live now and he works for Francis Ford Coppola now and had a great conversation about The Outsiders and Rumble Fish. I love your enthusiasm for doing this video. Patrick
Very cool! Did you crawl through that very same hole in the fence?! LOL!! What a neat story! Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories Patrick!
The bar scene where Johnny and Pony Boy went to get help from Dallas was shot in an abandoned concrete building on East Admiral, around 163rd East Avenue. I was delivering Wonder bread to the Quik-Trip right by there when they were finishing up at dawn.
@@Our80sLife It's been years (decades probably) since I've been around there but looking at Google Maps street view I guess it would have been near 145th or 161st St, not 163rd, and nothing around there looks familiar anymore.
Actually, that's a rumor started by an inaccurate imdb listing. We were able to verify this information is false as stated by Danny Boy O'Connor recently on the official museum Facebook page.
I was born right across the street from the grocery store on independence street. It was the charlie Sontag property, he lived in the house with his family and owned the grocery store. The hostess delivery man would make his delivery to the grocery store and when he saw my brother and I out in the front yard he would toss hostess cupcakes to us. Those were the best days.
Thank you for the tour. I remember going to the Admiral Twin , and yes it's still open. Also taking my kids to the Tasty Freeze in Owasso before they tore it down. It was sad to see it go.
Thanks for watching and sharing your memories! We hope to come back and see a movie at the Admiral Twin some day. We enjoyed our visit to Tulsa, it's a great city!
Just found your channel! I’m about your age so watched all these movies and Dallas (omg). Have enjoyed watching your videos, so reminiscent of a time when my younger self watched these shows and movies real time! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for this compilation. This is probably my favourite film ever (instead of the usual suspects greatest films we all love like Godfather and The Good The Bad) but this is more heartfelt and private as I was about the same age as Ponyboy at the time. In 1985 in Manchester, England we read the book in class and my English Literature teacher even got a VCR :) and we watched it in class once we finished the book. I just loved Stevie Wonder's theme song it felt so emotional. I for some time even felt like Ponyboy and sometimes Dallas Winston trying to impress girls :) I've never been to this location and maybe one day. Thanks
That's awesome!! Thanks for watching and sharing your memories. The Outsiders is truly a special movie that has touched so many people. Greetings from across the pond!
I live in Owasso now and told my wife and step sun the Kum n go location was from the drive in scene in the movie, because I remember driving by it and seeing the drive in and the stadium but they don’t believe me lol😂
Hi you guys! This was such a great video! I loved this movie growing up and have been waiting for a time where I could sit down and watch this without any distractions! How cool to see all those filming locations! You did a great job of explaining the scenes and showing the stills or clips from the movie. Oh and your re-enactments were spot on! Lol Abby, I literally thought you were going to crawl under that fence! 😂 I was glad you changed your mind lol Great job on this though! I loved it! It makes me want to watch the movie again. It’s been a long time!
Thanks guys!! You should definitely rewatch the movie. If you get a chance, watch the Complete Novel version. It’s even better than the original ‘83 release. We had a blast making this video, one of our favorites! Glad you enjoyed it too! 😊
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid 😍 ❤ I had such a crush on Ralph Macchio. I also loved all of S. E. Hintons novels. GREAT VIDEO 📹 👍 THANKS FOR SHARING
Yes!! I always loved Ralph Macchio too. Soon after this, he would become the Karate Kid. Another great one!! Glad you enjoyed today’s video. Stay gold 😊
We don't, but Tulsa World did a nice story with a map. Here's a link: tulsaworld.com/entertainment/movies/explore-the-locations-where-the-outsiders-movie-was-filmed/collection_fcb5f34f-dda4-5ea0-860f-6173a2dc471f.html#2
In the rumble it took two days to film and they said that it started raining the first day then the next day they had to add rain machines since it wasn’t raining no more so it made since
I love the Outsider's! My mom grew up in that same neighborhood and used to play in that very park. And I remember that old church that burned down we hen I was a kid. So this movie reminds me of my family and how hard they had to work just to raise me right
It's totally gone. We tried to track down the location, but didn't have any luck. Most locals will tell you it's been covered by a lake. Some say it's on private farm land. Either way, we just couldn't figure it out, but we know it no longer exists.
Tom Cruise ? I worked with Tom on "Jack Reacher" that was made in Pittsburgh. I worked four days = 50 hours and was used about 15 minutes. It was great watching him. Did you know that all the filming they do for a movie they use 20% of the filming for the final movie. When they start a movie it takes about a year of work till the movie is done. Norman.
There are two different theories floating around. One, it’s now under water at Skiatook Lake and two, the land is still there but inaccessible due to being on private property.
Good question! That is a matter of debate. Some say it's under a lake now, while others say it's on private property. Either way, it's not a filming location we could visit. Thanks for watching our video!
Even though Matt Dillion did a great job, Dally looked way different mainly he was blonde haired and blue eyed. It seemed Hinton wrote it to be adapted into a play/film.
Brother of my soninlaw & their friends were some extras & watched in couple or so movies in tulsa,& also sapulpa ok just few miles away down the road. Can't remember the names of movies other than outsiders.
Thank you for showing the Admiral Twin Drive In Theater. Another video on here claims that it was torn down, which is not true. They thought that the Pines Drive In restaurant location was the Admiral Twin Drive In Theater location. The Admiral Twin Drive In Theater is still there, and they show movies there in the summertime. I know that, because I live a few blocks from there.
Thanks for watching! We had a wonderful time visiting these places all around Tulsa and enjoyed seeing your city. We hope to come back again to see a movie at the Admiral Twin. What a neat little piece of history! You're lucky to have that nearby. You could walk there just like Ponyboy, ha!
@John Dough I never knew that. That's awesome! I've only seen the movie once, but I think I may watch it tonight. I'm certain I can rent it somewhere on here
I used to get drunk there also. With a guy named mark. He lived there with his grandparents who owned the house. They moved them across the street from that house while they filmed the movie. Pretty cool. I lived at 1211 Trenton
Fun fact: it actually was raining in the rumble scene the first day, but not the next, so they got rain machines to shoot the second part, but it was really cold outside so everyone was really cold
Yes, that's so interesting! Gotta love that movie magic!! When I read the novel (after watching the movie) I was surprised that it actually wasn't raining during the rumble in the book. That explains it! Thanks for stopping by our channel :)
I watched several of the scenes being filmed in Owasso & Tulsa in fact I video taped some of it but over the years seems to have disappeared hopefully I will eventually find it and I will post it since there is a lot of interest in this movie. The scenes that were filmed in the bar was actually the house my high school friend lived in I recognize some of the shots in his sisters old bedrooms and was standing outside watching the filming that night, when they put the beer neon signs the neighbors were all upset and mad that there was a new "beer joint" opening right next door. sadly it was demolished for a motel,there was also a U-totum that was exterior shots of the robbery which was filmed in Owasso...many people cant figure out where this was at but it was just West 86th North & Main..it is also gone.
That's amazing that you got to witness the filming of such an iconic movie! So cool!! We hope you're able to locate your original behind-the-scenes tapes. We'd definitely enjoy seeing that, and I'm sure others would as well. How interesting that the "bar" was your friend's house! We knew it had been torn down, but we didn't know it was actually a private residence. Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories! Stay Gold :)
@@Our80sLife Yes It was pretty cool,being in Oklahoma we didnt see much movie making in the process. I remember hundreds of Owasso residents coming out to watch. Francis Ford Coppola was always riding along on a camera boom with wheels every time I saw him and even yelled at me to move back at the Tastee Freez scenes when filming since the cameras could see my reflection in the glass of the store. The bar house was an old early century two story boxy concrete flat roof house with a basement and was quite elaborate trim wise internally, my friend had moved to Ohio about three years earlier and I believe no one lived there at the time..its location was at GPS 36.16018050749484, -95.79347363645039 near 161st & Admiral Tulsa it was a large house and had considerable acreage The Hard Rock Hotel is where the house sat and the Burger King is where its barn was. I saw the filming of the Tastee Freez scenes ,the parade scenes,the bar scenes & the U-totum exterior scene its GPS location was at 36.278240012292486, -95.85601643778176 in Owasso. You are the first to have this information since I have never really told anyone about being there but I know the movie has a good cult following and this trivia might be of interest to some..now if I could just find that tape..BTW great job on your videos
It's totally gone. We tried to track down the location, but didn't have any luck. Most locals will tell you it's been covered by a lake. Some say it's on private farm land. Either way, we just couldn't figure it out, but we know it no longer exists.
You didn't name any of the actresses like Diane Lane and Michelle Meyrink. Will Smith was also in it(Not THAT Will Smith). The guy that played Conan's dad and has been in hundreds of movies. You should check out his bio, it's very impressive. The Outsiders was one of my fave movies. I saw it a few times at the theatre the year it came out and around 200 times since. I actually met Rob Lowe around 20 years ago. Well, kind of, he brushed by me while he was jogging here in Halifax on the waterfront while he was in town doing a movie. Great video.
Thanks for stopping by and watching our video! Rob Lowe seems like a really nice person. That’s neat that you brushed shoulders with him, ha! Totally counts as meeting him! The Outsiders is such a classic! Stay gold 💛
Here’s our video of INSIDE the house and museum: czcams.com/video/zUtSgYhHJgk/video.html
Keith you're a G! You actually reenacted Dallas's death scene. Totally cool all the way!❤
Born and raised there ...totally my fav movie.and I'm a 80s guy myself!!!miss it alot... oh also I grew up w se Hinton's nephew.....ty yall
That's amazing!! We love Tulsa, it's such a nice city. Lucky you!!

You are so welcome! It's a great city, have fun!!
i remember going to that drive in theater back in the early 80s when i was a kid.
Hey, Absolutely amazing. Extremely informative.
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid, I still watch it today.
Pony boy was my favourite character and I had the biggest hots for cherry. I believe the actress who plays her is actually indeed married or used to be married to someone famous in the movies.
Thank you both yet again and more so for the bonus material… the acting 🤣.
Extremely authentic 🙏❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

36 cents for a gallon of gas at DX!!! Wish we had those prices now lol. Love the video guys
Right?! Thanks for watching Whit!
I love the 80s. This is such a cool video. My 8th grade English teacher introduced this book to us, I fell in love with it!
You had a great teacher! Glad you enjoyed our video, thanks for watching!
Bruh I love the outsiders so much
Awesome! I was in that DX gas station probably 6 or 7 yrs ago? There use to be a geocache in it. Great job!
Cool! The sign has recently been replaced, but it still needs lots of work! Neat place, worth saving!
Omgosh I am so jelious. My absolute all time favorite movie.
Cool! It’s a classic for sure! Maybe some day you’ll make it down to Oklahoma. Tulsa is a nice city to visit. Stay gold 😊

Those additional scenes made the movie make way more sense I always wondered what was on Ponyboy's neck the whole movie
Totally! It made more sense to me after reading the book as well, and I definitely prefer the Complete Novel version of the film.
That is so cool. I loved the Outsiders movie. Read the book each year for school summer reading too, lol.
We love that students are still reading The Outsiders. It’s a perfect choice for summer reading. That’s awesome!
imagine living on the property where johnny cade lived in the movie..
It looked terrible in the movie, but the house that's there now is actually pretty nice. I think that neighborhood has transitioned well over time. It would be cool to live in a part of movie-making history! Thanks for watching our video :)
I was hooked on The Outsiders ever since we read the book in middle school.
Cool! It's a classic!
One of my favorite movies
Love this!! Fascinating! Especially loved the dramatic reenactment!!🙌
Thanks Cheryl! I think Keith missed his calling, lol! 😂
I'm glad someone finally mentioned Will Rogers HS. Another fun fact, when the book was released in paperback. It was not allowed to be read in Will Rogers HS.
I graduated from there in 1993.
It would have been great to have the addresses of these locations.

That's cool! Thanks for watching our video. Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in owasso. I remember going to the tastee freeze all the time when I was a kid and downtown owasso has changed a lot within the last 5 years.
Cool! It seems like a nice town. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your memories!
Loved the book and movie!!!
I was 16 in 1983 . . . I loved this movie in 1983 . . . In 2022 I'm now 55 years old and I still love this movie .
Such a classic! Thanks for stopping by our channel Tony!
I was born in 1983!
That was such an awesome movie. I remember seeing it at the theater many times. Going to have to break out my DVD and watch it again tonight.

Thanks Jerry! 😄
This was very well done.

Where exactly is the Pines restaurant?? Is it the one on Pine just east of Sherida? If so I use to work there. Used to be called Aubrys
It's near there, but just east of 72nd Ave. The address is 7240 E Pine St. and the name on the sign says Taqueria Monterrey.

That’s amazing! What a sweet memory! 🧁 Thanks for stopping by our channel Sharon! 😊
i love that book, and movie..
It’s a classic!
You guys are so awesome. Makes me happy to see you having so much fun together.😁
That's so nice, thanks Chris!
My stepmother took lessons from Patsy as well, back in the late 60’s.
That’s awesome!! She was a great teacher. I just bought an old VHS tape at an antique store called Swayze Dancing. I’m anxious to watch it! 📼
Thank you for the tour. I remember going to the Admiral Twin , and yes it's still open. Also taking my kids to the Tasty Freeze in Owasso before they tore it down. It was sad to see it go.
Thanks for watching and sharing your memories! We hope to come back and see a movie at the Admiral Twin some day. We enjoyed our visit to Tulsa, it's a great city!
Wow you guys nailed it!!
Thanks Chris 😊
Great Video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
10:37 I literally live on the street next to the drive in plus my great grandpa helped build the first one before that one burned down
Cool, lucky you!! Can you see the movie screen from you house?
@@Our80sLife yeah
Just found your channel! I’m about your age so watched all these movies and Dallas (omg).
Have enjoyed watching your videos, so reminiscent of a time when my younger self watched these shows and movies real time!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Gabby! Welcome to the party! We're hoping our videos bring back that nostalgic feeling in all of us 80's kids.
My friend, as I was watching this video, I was thinking, who does he resemble??? Then it hit me....Drago!! Dolph Lundgren
LOL!! He gets that from time to time, especially from viewers who watch our RoboCop videos for some reason. We don't see it, but many others do!
LOVE this; I live in Tulsa!
Thanks Michael! We really enjoyed our visit to Tulsa. You have a lovely city!
You guys ROCK!!!
Aww, thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed our videos!
Thanks so much for this compilation.
This is probably my favourite film ever (instead of the usual suspects greatest films we all love like Godfather and The Good The Bad) but this is more heartfelt and private as I was about the same age as Ponyboy at the time. In 1985 in Manchester, England we read the book in class and my English Literature teacher even got a VCR :) and we watched it in class once we finished the book. I just loved Stevie Wonder's theme song it felt so emotional. I for some time even felt like Ponyboy and sometimes Dallas Winston trying to impress girls :) I've never been to this location and maybe one day. Thanks
That's awesome!! Thanks for watching and sharing your memories. The Outsiders is truly a special movie that has touched so many people. Greetings from across the pond!
I live in Owasso now and told my wife and step sun the Kum n go location was from the drive in scene in the movie, because I remember driving by it and seeing the drive in and the stadium but they don’t believe me lol😂
Hi you guys! This was such a great video! I loved this movie growing up and have been waiting for a time where I could sit down and watch this without any distractions! How cool to see all those filming locations! You did a great job of explaining the scenes and showing the stills or clips from the movie. Oh and your re-enactments were spot on! Lol Abby, I literally thought you were going to crawl under that fence! 😂 I was glad you changed your mind lol Great job on this though! I loved it! It makes me want to watch the movie again. It’s been a long time!
Thanks guys!! You should definitely rewatch the movie. If you get a chance, watch the Complete Novel version. It’s even better than the original ‘83 release. We had a blast making this video, one of our favorites! Glad you enjoyed it too! 😊
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid 😍 ❤ I had such a crush on Ralph Macchio. I also loved all of S. E. Hintons novels. GREAT VIDEO 📹 👍 THANKS FOR SHARING
Yes!! I always loved Ralph Macchio too. Soon after this, he would become the Karate Kid. Another great one!! Glad you enjoyed today’s video. Stay gold 😊
@@Our80sLife The Karate Kid...another amazing film😊😊😊
Do you guys have a list of all these places?
We don't, but Tulsa World did a nice story with a map. Here's a link: tulsaworld.com/entertainment/movies/explore-the-locations-where-the-outsiders-movie-was-filmed/collection_fcb5f34f-dda4-5ea0-860f-6173a2dc471f.html#2
There's also an interactive map on The Outsiders House Museum website. Thanks for watching our video Tina!
What about Diane lane
She’s also great as Cherry 🍒
In the rumble it took two days to film and they said that it started raining the first day then the next day they had to add rain machines since it wasn’t raining no more so it made since
I love the Outsider's! My mom grew up in that same neighborhood and used to play in that very park. And I remember that old church that burned down we hen I was a kid. So this movie reminds me of my family and how hard they had to work just to raise me right
That's amazing! Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories Derek! Stay gold :)
What about the old church since
It's totally gone. We tried to track down the location, but didn't have any luck. Most locals will tell you it's been covered by a lake. Some say it's on private farm land. Either way, we just couldn't figure it out, but we know it no longer exists.
Wasn't Lief Garret in it?
Yes, he had a smaller role as "Bob" the Soc.
This is why I wanna move to Tulsa Oklahoma. I love the Outsiders to death
It's a great city! We really enjoyed our visit there. Thanks for watching :)
And the reason you don't is because of what exactly?
@@unicornmadness6286 I don't really have a reason why I don't wanna go.
A lot of people remember “Stay GOLDEN, Pony Boy”. Mandela Effect
I also worked at the Git-N-Go that Dally robbed towards the end of the movie. I also got robbed there lol.. no joke
Its located at 11th and Houston.
Oh my goodness!!
Tom Cruise ? I worked with Tom on "Jack Reacher" that was made in Pittsburgh. I worked four days = 50 hours and was used about 15 minutes. It was great watching him. Did you know that all the filming they do for a movie they use 20% of the filming for the final movie. When they start a movie it takes about a year of work till the movie is done. Norman.
Interesting, thanks Norman! It's crazy to think about how much work goes on behind-the-scenes when making a movie.
I’m still curious where the location of the hide out that burned down was.
There are two different theories floating around. One, it’s now under water at Skiatook Lake and two, the land is still there but inaccessible due to being on private property.
What happened to the church in Windrixville?
Good question! That is a matter of debate. Some say it's under a lake now, while others say it's on private property. Either way, it's not a filming location we could visit. Thanks for watching our video!
AKA Our 80's Life your welcome!
Even though Matt Dillion did a great job, Dally looked way different mainly he was blonde haired and blue eyed. It seemed Hinton wrote it to be adapted into a play/film.
Agreed. Thanks for stopping by our channel!
My hometown! I’m actually from Bixby - You all should checkout the movie Tex with Matt Dillion. It was filmed in south Tulsa.
Cool! We've heard good things about that one, will definitely check it out! Thanks for stopping by our channel!
Brother of my soninlaw & their friends were some extras & watched in couple or so movies in tulsa,& also sapulpa ok just few miles away down the road. Can't remember the names of movies other than outsiders.
That’s awesome! Thanks for stopping by our channel Verna! 😊
don't think i've seen this movie, nice video and a great bit of acting by the way Keith and Abby
Thanks Barry! Keith may have missed his calling as an actor, lol! 😂
You really need to watch it, it's pretty cool for a 80s film for sure. But most 80s movies are way better than today's movies.
Thank you for showing the Admiral Twin Drive In Theater. Another video on here claims that it was torn down, which is not true. They thought that the Pines Drive In restaurant location was the Admiral Twin Drive In Theater location. The Admiral Twin Drive In Theater is still there, and they show movies there in the summertime. I know that, because I live a few blocks from there.
Thanks for watching! We had a wonderful time visiting these places all around Tulsa and enjoyed seeing your city. We hope to come back again to see a movie at the Admiral Twin. What a neat little piece of history! You're lucky to have that nearby. You could walk there just like Ponyboy, ha!
Thanks guys! Don't forget Leif Garrett, lol jk. This is so cool!
Oh yes!!
@John Dough the same Tom Waits that made songs, such as clap hands?
@John Dough I never knew that. That's awesome! I've only seen the movie once, but I think I may watch it tonight. I'm certain I can rent it somewhere on here
Fun fact i live in sperry
Nice! We enjoyed our brief visit there. 🐸
I got drunk in that house before the ppl that renovated it for the film about 6 -4 yrs ago
wait what film outsider was made in the 80's
Although the story takes place in the 60's, The Outsiders was filmed in 1983.
LOL!! 🤣
I used to get drunk there also. With a guy named mark. He lived there with his grandparents who owned the house. They moved them across the street from that house while they filmed the movie. Pretty cool. I lived at 1211 Trenton
Fun fact: it actually was raining in the rumble scene the first day, but not the next, so they got rain machines to shoot the second part, but it was really cold outside so everyone was really cold
Yes, that's so interesting! Gotta love that movie magic!! When I read the novel (after watching the movie) I was surprised that it actually wasn't raining during the rumble in the book. That explains it! Thanks for stopping by our channel :)
I watched several of the scenes being filmed in Owasso & Tulsa in fact I video taped some of it but over the years seems to have disappeared hopefully I will eventually find it and I will post it since there is a lot of interest in this movie. The scenes that were filmed in the bar was actually the house my high school friend lived in I recognize some of the shots in his sisters old bedrooms and was standing outside watching the filming that night, when they put the beer neon signs the neighbors were all upset and mad that there was a new "beer joint" opening right next door. sadly it was demolished for a motel,there was also a U-totum that was exterior shots of the robbery which was filmed in Owasso...many people cant figure out where this was at but it was just West 86th North & Main..it is also gone.
That's amazing that you got to witness the filming of such an iconic movie! So cool!! We hope you're able to locate your original behind-the-scenes tapes. We'd definitely enjoy seeing that, and I'm sure others would as well. How interesting that the "bar" was your friend's house! We knew it had been torn down, but we didn't know it was actually a private residence. Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories! Stay Gold :)
@@Our80sLife Yes It was pretty cool,being in Oklahoma we didnt see much movie making in the process. I remember hundreds of Owasso residents coming out to watch. Francis Ford Coppola was always riding along on a camera boom with wheels every time I saw him and even yelled at me to move back at the Tastee Freez scenes when filming since the cameras could see my reflection in the glass of the store. The bar house was an old early century two story boxy concrete flat roof house with a basement and was quite elaborate trim wise internally, my friend had moved to Ohio about three years earlier and I believe no one lived there at the time..its location was at GPS 36.16018050749484, -95.79347363645039 near 161st & Admiral Tulsa it was a large house and had considerable acreage The Hard Rock Hotel is where the house sat and the Burger King is where its barn was. I saw the filming of the Tastee Freez scenes ,the parade scenes,the bar scenes & the U-totum exterior scene its GPS location was at 36.278240012292486, -95.85601643778176 in Owasso. You are the first to have this information since I have never really told anyone about being there but I know the movie has a good cult following and this trivia might be of interest to some..now if I could just find that tape..BTW great job on your videos
WHAT ABOUT THE ABANDONED CHURCH THEY HID FOR A BIT AFTER THE MURDER?? JUST CURIOUS.
It's totally gone. We tried to track down the location, but didn't have any luck. Most locals will tell you it's been covered by a lake. Some say it's on private farm land. Either way, we just couldn't figure it out, but we know it no longer exists.
The last I researched it was said the general area has been flooded, I don’t think the church stands anymore since water leveled the place
Sad the rexall falling apart
Yes, it's really unfortunate. We hope someone will rescue it.
You didn't name any of the actresses like Diane Lane and Michelle Meyrink. Will Smith was also in it(Not THAT Will Smith). The guy that played Conan's dad and has been in hundreds of movies. You should check out his bio, it's very impressive. The Outsiders was one of my fave movies. I saw it a few times at the theatre the year it came out and around 200 times since. I actually met Rob Lowe around 20 years ago. Well, kind of, he brushed by me while he was jogging here in Halifax on the waterfront while he was in town doing a movie. Great video.
Thanks for stopping by and watching our video! Rob Lowe seems like a really nice person. That’s neat that you brushed shoulders with him, ha! Totally counts as meeting him! The Outsiders is such a classic! Stay gold 💛
My friends mom used to live in that house.
Wow!! That's really cool! Thanks for stopping by our channel Christopher!
Is this Drew Barrymore with Andrew Dice Clay?
Lol!! 😂
