The Outsiders Filming Locations | Tulsa, Oklahoma (1983) THEN & NOW 

Keith you're a G! You actually reenacted Dallas's death scene. Totally cool all the way!❤

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!!

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.

Right?! Thanks for watching Whit!

You had a great teacher! Glad you enjoyed our video, thanks for watching!

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 😊

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.

Cool! The sign has recently been replaced, but it still needs lots of work! Neat place, worth saving!

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

Thanks Cheryl! I think Keith missed his calling, lol! 😂

We love that students are still reading The Outsiders. It’s a perfect choice for summer reading. That’s awesome!

That's cool! Thanks for watching our video. Glad you enjoyed it!

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 :)

Hey Diana, thanks for stopping by our channel! We’re glad you enjoyed the video and hope you get a chance to see these places in person! 💛

Cool! It seems like a nice town. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your memories!

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!!)

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 ☀️

Cool! It's a classic!

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 :)

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: ru-vid.com/group/PLWh-RJ-D1iWVqrToGD9b0OuwbY3QGOXQD

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Joe! 😊

Aww, thanks Andrea! 🥰 We’re glad you enjoyed our video. We love your beautiful country! 🇮🇹 Stay gold.

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!

Thank you!! Agreed, it's an absolute classic!

Yes!! He was a great character. 😂

Oh yes, we hope you can get there. It’s definitely worth a visit!

Thanks Jerry! 😄

Such a classic! Thanks for stopping by our channel Tony!

I was born in 1983!

Lucky!!

Thank you!

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 ☀️

Thanks so much!! We hope you had a happy Independence Day!

Thank you!! Welcome to our channel, and happy adventuring!

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

We need to watch those too! We'd be interested in hearing your thoughts after you watch them.

@@Our80sLife Tex was really good. Matt Dillon plays Tex.

Oh wow, very cool!!

Thanks David! Welcome to the party :)

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!

Thanks Rob!!

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.

That’s amazing! What a sweet memory! 🧁 Thanks for stopping by our channel Sharon! 😊

That's so nice, thanks Chris!

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

@@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.

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!

Thanks for stopping by our channel!

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."

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks Chris 😊

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!

It’s a classic!

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! 😊

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😊😊😊

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! 📼

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!

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.

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.

Cool, lucky you!! Can you see the movie screen from you house?

@@Our80sLife yeah

Thanks Gabby! Welcome to the party! We're hoping our videos bring back that nostalgic feeling in all of us 80's kids.

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!

Aww, thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed our videos!

Thanks Michael! We really enjoyed our visit to Tulsa. You have a lovely city!

That's amazing! Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories Derek! Stay gold :)

Interesting, thanks Norman! It's crazy to think about how much work goes on behind-the-scenes when making a movie.

Its located at 11th and Houston.

Oh my goodness!!

She’s also great as Cherry 🍒

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!

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.

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

Cool! We've heard good things about that one, will definitely check it out! Thanks for stopping by our channel!

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.

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!

That’s awesome! Thanks for stopping by our channel Verna! 😊

Yes, he had a smaller role as "Bob" the Soc.

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!

AKA Our 80's Life your welcome!

Agreed. Thanks for stopping by our channel!

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.

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

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

Nice! We enjoyed our brief visit there. 🐸

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 :)

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 💛

Lol!! 😂

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

Wow!! That's really cool! Thanks for stopping by our channel Christopher!

Yes, it's really unfortunate. We hope someone will rescue it.
