The Outsiders - FILMING LOCATIONS - Do It For Johnny !

[@xxTAZZYBEANxx]

This made my heart hurt! The Outsiders was my favourite movie growing up. I have to see these places!!

[@supadog1133]

same my heart is hurting from watching this video

[@gamer_cat_lady9457]

Me two

[@kirbyellis4337]

you really have to know what you are looking for. The convenience store looks nothing like it did in the movie as they have added on to it and put pumps in the lot now. The hospital where the scenes were shot is totally different now and those floors long since renovated. The park has no fountain in it and as this video shows most of the locations have completely changed to the point they are not recognizable. They have renovated the home they outsiders lived in though and have made it look alot like it did in the movie though and its one of the few things Tulsa has that can even come close to being called a tourist attraction. The movie was great though and there are a few scenes that if you really look close you can see some details that were not here in the 60s such as the convenient store window scene if you look out behind Dally youll see a car turning right to go under Highway 51. It was not here in the 60s but its in the movie lol. Also despite Tulsa not really being mentioned in the movie plot if you look at the motorcyle Officers jacket he had a current (1980s) Tulsa Police patch on his sleeve. Not sure if they had the same one in the 60s but its a neat catch in the movie too.

[@TheNewBowunter]

Wow at 9:57 the fence still has that bend in it..Amazing

[@ghostiedumber308]

lol

[@toml8227]

I was thinking the same... 30 years later and fence still has a bęben.

[@outsider238]

The book that actually got me interested in reading. One of my favorites and favorite movies. Especially since they re-released it with all missing footage put back in. Thank you for the great tour!!

[@allirenshaw4723]

outsider238 when did they re-release it?

[@djc-jesus6107]

Yes

[@jackhammer0101]

The extended version or "re-release" is terrible.. The music is awful and so much added garbage footage.. And pony boy and soda pop in bed together is just friggin creepy, so glad they cut all that out.

[@Aphrodia]

Let's do it for Johnny

[@sadzombie6542]

Giselle Navarro yes

[@rileye5347]

Let us not forget about Dally

[@TAROTCARDMEDIA]

Stay gold, Ponyboy.

[@TVVIST24]

Stay gold

[@jeffreyrussell4874]

So being from Tulsa, there really is not a whole lot we get recognized for, so I was glad to see this. When they made this movie they wanted to use local guys, so if you go watch The Outsiders, in the big rumble scene at the end, when all of the greasers meet up, my dad is one of the greaser "extras". Hes wearing a sleeveless leather jacket, has a mustache and is kinda balding on top, you see him a couple of times throughout the whole thing, but mostly when they are talking, he steps out from behind Pony Boy if I remember right. (he looks kinda scary, Ive seen that look on him a few times, like hes gonna kick the shit out of you lol) I'm sure his name is in the credits as "greaser number 4" or something like that, I dont know for sure, I never looked. His name is Monte Russell. He was also in Rumble Fish with Lawrence Fishbourne (which I still havent seen) so I guess I am the child of a movie star....right?

[@leo_lust5183]

Brothers of Men pretty much man

[@barry9460]

Brothers of Men i think i know who he is he kinda stands out, if he’s the one with short hair looks kinda asian. he’s the one at the fast food place when the soc and ponyboy are having a talk, is he one of the greasers sitting against the hood of the car?

[@coledoucette5116]

Yeah kindve How cool

[@jodydavis161]

They also made made the movie Tex here too !I seen some of the filming on the river when they were shooting the dirt bike shots i would say there were 200 hundred people trying to get a part in the movie Lol

[@johnsmith882]

I know exactly who you mean

[@kinsley1720]

its kinda sad seeing the town just go downhill. and watching all those cool scenes no longer there :(

[@notmadi6968]

Kinsley 17 ikr 😭

[@allirenshaw4723]

It's always been kinda run down but ya it's just sad :( and no memorable signs anywhere and I feel bad for them

[@sunnybri__7463]

Kinsley 17 YES IKR 😩

[@mcnasty6971]

The town isn't going downhill. That's just a crappy part of town.

[@matt252]

Tulsa is alive and well. This area was just a bad area. Now Danny Boy O'Connor is about to open up the house as a museum and since he started restoring the house the neighborhood has gotten better. Also, downtown is booming. Come visit. You will be surprised! Also, the museum will be open in a couple of months. They will also offer bus tours of the other filming sites.

[@epicpikachu1219]

The old dude that was talking sounded like it was a true event that happened. Like a actual murder

[@dhoerst]

+Sylvia Nobody told him they were filming a movie. He still tells that story to this day, thinking he saw the cops cap a guy

[@LIVEMETRIX187]

Plot Twist: it was real

[@crystalvelasquez5615]

Lol I love this comment

[@DJKetter]

Someone may have already told you this but the gas station that Dallas robs was actually in Owasso, just outside Tulsa. That station you were in may have been the inside portion but when he runs out of the store it was a U-Totem in Owasso Oklahoma. They filmed in Owasso for a couple days all centered around Main Street and 86th Street North. The Taste-E-Freeze where pony and the Randy are talking in the car was just across and over from the U-totem. You can see a school and football stadium behind them when they are in the car, that is still there but the U-totem and Taste-E-Freeze have all been torn down. I grew up in Owasso and it was a huge deal when they came to town to film. The scene of Pony and Two Bit walking down the street where Two Bit sticks his thumb out like he is hitchhiking was also in Owasso on Main Street.

[@victoriadixon418]

[@reagenwerner8832]

I'm a "fan girl" of the 80s and especially this movie. it would be my dream to go to Tulsa and walk where dally, Johnny, and pony did and to see how the Curtis house still looks the same :)

[@angelahughesmarano3254]

Sadly it would look the same if the owners would do ALOT of cleaning up. I was there today and was extremely disappointed. Not a great part of town either.

[@TanzDerSchatten]

They're renovating the house and turning it into an Outsiders museum, which I think is a fantastic project, but it does seem a little iffy to have a museum with potentially valuable objects in it in such a crappy neighborhood.

[@angelahughesmarano3254]

TanzDerSchatten Yes! I totally agree with you.

[@StephanieJohnson_]

Some guy is actually saving the Curtis Brothers house! Go on the FB page and look up The Outsiders House

I dated a girl in Tulsa when I lived there in 1999. She told me that when she was younger they heard they were filming this movie. She went to the hotel where they were staying and found some of the boys. She told me she kissed the Ponyboy character guy and that Matt Dillon was drinking.

The burning church scene where they rescued the children is now at the bottom of Skiatook Lake as of the late 1980's.

[@Gameoner1235890]

How could that happen? That place looks dry for miles on end in the movie.

[@TomWatsonB1]

@@Gameoner1235890 Because the dam was completed in '84. That's almost certainly why they were allowed to burn it down, because they knew it was about to become obsolete. When you dam up a creek or lake, it floods massive areas frequently. My great-grandparents actually owned a large property on the Hominy Creek (which feeds the lake) and virtually all of their land, save their house (which was up on a steep hill) was flooded with the completion of the dam. The point of the dam is to hold back water. The water has to go somewhere that is held back. Go watch videos about the largest dam in the world (the 3 Rivers Gorge Dam in China) and you will understand better.

[@mkfanforever58]

I just watched this movie not too long ago and it was cool to see all the areas fresh in my mind.

[@anyanaylor]

One day I will go to Tulsa and wander around until I find these places!

Work begins on 'The Outsiders' house. Danny Boy O'Connor, founding member of the hip-hop group House of Pain, is leading the charge to restore the house at 731 N. St. Louis. It was home to the Curtis brothers in "The Outsiders.," Thanks for all of your work Adamthewoo.

You can follow their progress on Facebook by looking up The Outsiders House. They update it on a daily basis.

The wooden framed Admiral Twin screens burned down a few years ago but the beloved local icon was soon replaced with a metal supported twin screen and they are still showing movies there as of 2016.

One of my favorite movies of all time growing up as a kid. Stay Golden Pony Boy!!!!

[@monknator608]

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm from Tulsa, OK and I just recently found out about the outsiders. I found the movie first then got the book and now I'm obsessed. I had my mom drive me to the admiral twin drive-in and she told me we went there once to watch the Simpsons movie I flipped out because I forgot and I realized that I had been there before I found the outsiders and was so excited! :)

cool I'm from Texas I wish I could go

[@grisrios6320]

+Erik Coulombe yes some of the films were shot in tulsa and a few of them at owasso. Things have recently change. The drive-in movie screen was burned down so they had to bulit another one. Curtchfield park doesn't have the fountain where the socs tried to drown ponyboy. And the house is pretty diffrent from back then .

[@ITFixer-vj3zk]

Sorry I'm about 4 years late to see this. What an excellent video. Great work ATW!

[@l.g.5850]

You did a REALLY good job of showing that stuff Adam! I grew up in T Town, read The Outsiders as a requirement in English class. We natives have embraced the film, it's actors and everyone seems to have little tidbits of where they were & if they had any interaction with the film crew or actors. I only know I was dating a guy I worked with, he had a simple old '56 Chevy white pickup & lived down near one of the neighborhood they filmed in. They knocked on his door one Thursday & offered him $50 a day to leave his truck parked about 3 doors North for 4 days. In those days, $200 went a long ways. That was considered a run down neighborhood then, but it was still a safe place to live,....just old. I watched that movie a LOT, never spotting that old '56 Chevy.... We also watched them filming some sort of scene from the windows of the hospital on 11th St, I believe it was; they were a long ways away, so we really didn't know what we were watching until it floated through the hospital on the gossip train about a film being filmed in the area. Thanks for the tour, the editing is awesome!

[@jonathanm624]

this made me so happy!

Thanks for sharing Adam. I remember seeing this movie in middle school back in 97. Good memories

and they made the house into a little museum

[@onrr1726]

Most of the scenes in the movie were filmed in North Tulsa it was a decent working class nabour hood at one time. As Adam notes a few times the hood is looking a little run down. I'll give ya a little advice people don't go up there by your self have a friend or someone who lives in the Tulsa area go with you and have a gun handy! There are a lot of shootings, drug addicts and homeless people wondering around up there at night it's NOT a safe place to be. I my self don't go up past Archer Street unless going to a base ball game or the BNSF Railroad Bridge on North Peoria road unless I got a real good reason to be up there.

[@grisrios6320]

Yes, i live in that area and there is always shooting at parks and stuff like that .

Another loss was The Camelot Hotel which was torn down a few years ago as well; so that Dairy Queen wasn't the only horrible loss. The Camelot hotel was used in the background during a 'payphone scene'. *Admiral twin was just rebuilt this year after a fire destroyed it a few years back; so you came at the perfect time Adam. Awesome Job as always and thanks for the taking up the request- I was the guy who said: 'Do 'The Outsiders! ' a while back. Huge Thanks! Amazing...

Yep. They took over a dying shopping mall (re-purposed as an office complex in years since), to film Stanley's Playhouse, they also filmed in several other locations, a famous Tulsa burger joint, a grocery store, and an abandoned transmitter for a local radio station. A lot of local people were used as extras. Weird Al makes a regular stop here on his tours as a result of his good experiences here.
