“NAPOLEON DYNAMITE" Filming Locations - Then & Now

​@@tylersmith9868 it really depends on what the thing is and what people do. Take Walter White's house for example. There's not really much of a way to embrace it when every jackass thinks they're being funny by throwing a pizza on your roof

The movie is so painfully relatable, i am not even from usa nor live in a desert town and i found characters resembling people i could actually find around here. Uncle Rico's actor also puts out some real top notch acting despite the comedic undertones the struggle of letting go of the things you could have been to move forward is a painful process that basically everyone that ever lived will go through.

[@ComeSeeWithMe]

I agree. This movie is so simple, which makes it very relatable to so many people. That’s what I love about it. It just goes to show that everyone has a story, and their story just might be one you haven’t heard yet. That’s the beauty of truly getting to know someone. No matter how extravagant or simple their life may seem on the outside, it what lies within that matters most. We’re all going through or dealing with something in our lives. If more people would stop focusing on disliking what makes us all “different” and appreciate the good in others (kind of the story of this movie), the world could be a much kinder place for us all to live in.

[@ComeSeeWithMe]

If everyone liked the exact same flavors, colors, channels, stations, etc., it would be a very boring world.

I think this video does a great job shedding light on why this movie is so believable and relatable. They didn't create movie sets. They just filmed in real, everyday locations. There is never a moment where it feels like a setting was created just for that shot. Instead of creating settings for a shot, they shot the real life settings.

Genuinely surprised that Pedro’s house was actually located in Preston.

Drove there all the way from Oklahoma a couple years back. Twas an awesome experience. The town is very quiet and all you hear is the wind. Saw Napoleon's house and Pedro's.

I can understand and relate. I didn’t grow up in a tiny little town, but it was a small town that had a rural-ish feel to it. With each passing year I miss it more and more and every time I go back I find that I miss it more and more as well. There’s something to be said for that.

You did a great job with this video. Thank you. My mother grew up on the street where Napoleon was pulling Kip behind his bike at 26:32 The scene ends about right in front of her childhood home as they were biking north on N 2nd E just north of E 1st N. My father's childhood home was about a 1/2 block away 🤣🤣 I was actually in Preston this past weekend for my aunt's 85th birthday party. I didn't grow up anywhere near Preston myself, but it's hilarious how many connections I have to the movie locations because of relatives. And a few relatives were in the movie including a cousin in the Happy Hands Club (She was at my aunt's b-day party)🤣 One of my cousin's lived in "Pedro's" basement at one time (no joke). I have relatives who work at the egg farm.

[@ComeSeeWithMe]

Thank you, and thanks for sharing that info. That’s so cool that you have all of those connections. I think I mention it in the video but I live nowhere near Preston and have been there twice. I set out to go there the first time and thought that would be the only time I’d ever be there. Then several years later I was making my way somewhat nearby and took a detour to purposely visit again. I hope to get back there again some day too. The locations are what pull me in l, but I also enjoy the town as well. Preston has a special place in my heart.

[@MrJeff1256]

@@ComeSeeWithMe We would visit Preston once or twice a year when I was a child to see the grandparents & relatives, but it wasn't until I was an adult that I appreciated the town and community. Fun fact: the egg farm has a little store you can buy fresh eggs and ice cream treats. The farm employs ~180 people and has over 2 million chickens.

[@ComeSeeWithMe]

Thanks for the info. One of the things I enjoy most about seeking movie locations it is how it takes me around to different parts of the country that I otherwise wouldn’t get to see. It gives me a new appreciation for places that I very likely would never have been to. Tracking down and finding the Locations is my main goal and I love it, but the adventure of getting there is sometimes just as fun. The fact that I have been to Preston, Idaho twice blows my mind.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that matter the most in life IMO. That sort of summarizes this movie in a nutshell. It was a simple story about a simple town with simple people, and yet, there’s a lot of good to take away from it at the end. It just goes to show how life doesn’t always have to been so confusing and complicated. It can be pretty damn good when you strip away all the BS and just focus on the important little things that have been right under your nose the entire time. We just weren’t paying attention to them.

I too am in Ohio and hope to one day make it out to Preston Idaho to check out Napoleon Dynamite filming locations. Back in 1989 a friend and I went to Pittsburgh PA to check out filming locations for Night Of The Living Dead. It's a pretty long story but were able to meet friends with Karl (Harry Cooper) Hardman at his studio that he was still involved with in 1989. We were invited inside and he spent over 2 hours talking to us about the filming of NOLD. The most amazing part of the trip was he arranged access for us to see the basement used in Night Of The Living Dead. I eventually became friends with Karl Hardman and always tried to stay in contact with him whenever possible. Unlike the character Harry Cooper in the movie, he was one of the nicest people that I ever had the pleasure to meet and call him a friend.

Kings was a chain that had locations in Idaho and Utah (possibly Wyoming?). They began having hard times and closed stores one or two at a time. They no longer exist. The Kings location in Preston was later occupied by a second hand store. The last time I was there near the end of August 2021, they were closing things out. The Rex Quan Do building was once Idaho Appliance and Sport shop. They sold all sorts of things, like Honda motorcycles, appliances, guns and ammunition, hunting clothing, etc. It was quite the place to visit when I was a youngster. We bought several motorcycles from there over the years.

My brother-in-law worked at that King's store when they were filming. He was told by his manager to go work in the basement because "they're filming a movie". He had no idea what was going on. I ended up working at a different King's in Star Valley, Wyoming a few years later, and the way it's shown in the movie is pretty exact to how life was at King's. They shut down all the stores 5 years ago, but it was a fun experience.

One of my favorite movies, love it! LOL the Cuttin Curral too funny...

[@ComeSeeWithMe]

I know, right! When he said he got his hair cut at the Cuttin’ Curral in the movie I cracked up because I thought they just had him say that as a line in the movie to be funny. I thought it was totally made up. But then when I was walking around in Preston and stumbled across it, I started cracking up. I couldn’t believe it was a real place. That made me laugh even more than I did when he said it in the movie. Too funny.

[@lesleighc6949]

@@ComeSeeWithMe I bet the people at the cuttin curral were like “omg!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@smileysun9212]

I got a haircut there from the owner once because I was dating her Daughter. They gave me a Napoleon shirt with that phrase on it. I never wore it & still in the closet. I noticed a couple of years ago that place was shut down.
