One of my favorite movies

[@brianrandol]

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.

[@Our80sLife]

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.

[@waynezahra9213]

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 🙏❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

[@Our80sLife]

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!

[@waynezahra9213]

@@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.

[@whatever_it_takes6691]

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.

[@TheWallygatorca]

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.

[@blakewhittington4336]

Those additional scenes made the movie make way more sense I always wondered what was on Ponyboy's neck the whole movie

[@Our80sLife]

Totally! It made more sense to me after reading the book as well, and I definitely prefer the Complete Novel version of the film.

[@REMNANTRising2005]

You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by our channel Noah. Stay Gold :)

[@FlintandSteelSurvival]

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.

[@Our80sLife]

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 ☀️

[@JeepTJWheelin]

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.

[@Our80sLife]

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!!)

[@ac3076]

imagine living on the property where johnny cade lived in the movie..

[@Our80sLife]

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 :)

[@marlees.945]

I live in Oklahoma!! When I found out that they filmed it here, I freaked out!!

[@Our80sLife]

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!

[@frankiesteele4248]

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

[@Our80sLife]

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.

[@DavidFerree54]

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]

Cool! We're assuming that building is no longer standing, is that correct?

[@DavidFerree54]

@@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.

I heard that flea from the red hot chili peppers has a small part in the movie, but I can't seem to find him in it.

[@Our80sLife]

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.

[@unicornmadness6286]

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.

[@Our80sLife]

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.

[@ahassen1236]

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

The movie was good, but the book was great. I was born and raised in Tulsa and lived there from 1960 to 1979. I could picture all the locations and relate to the charcters as I read the book. The Admiral Twin Drive In was a great place to hang out in the 60s and 70s in Tulsa. There is a bar called the Bowen Lounge at 11th and Denver Street shown early in the movie that was demolished years ago. The corner (11th and Denver) had a lot of character back in the day.

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

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

[@Our80sLife]

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 :)

WHAT ABOUT THE ABANDONED CHURCH THEY HID FOR A BIT AFTER THE MURDER?? JUST CURIOUS.

[@Our80sLife]

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.

[@J7_Regalo]

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

[@BarrysViews]

don't think i've seen this movie, nice video and a great bit of acting by the way Keith and Abby

[@Our80sLife]

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.

I grew up in Tulsa. Some folks tried to car jack my buddy Vincent at Crutchfield Park. When they told him to give up his keys, he told them if you want go get. When he threw them into the park they stabbed him up and took off.

[@Our80sLife]

Yikes!! I hope he was okay. That's awful :(

[@keelieelizabeth7088]

I love the outsiders I have outsiders content on my Chanel

[@Our80sLife]

Cool! We'll be sure to check that out. It's such a classic movie (and book!)

[@keelieelizabeth7088]

Yes I agree I read it this year for school I loved it but I loved the movie more
