Title: Movies filmed in Tulsa
Post by: Danny on May 17, 2007, 04:06:25 PM
I was looking at filming locations on imdb for the John Travolta movie "Phenomenon" and Tulsa was listed, does anyone know what part of the movie was filmed here and where?

and what other movies were filmed here, besides the obvious "The Outsiders"

Tex, Rumblefish, UHF, and there was some movie with Kevin Costner that they flew a single engine Cessna underneath an over pass and you can see the One OK building in the background.

I would make a snide comment about the Tulsa "film office" but Recyclemichael bristles everytime I poke fun at it. [;)]

Other than countless Indie films like "Cole Justice" (which was produced/directed by Carl "Uncle Zeb" Bartholomew), the S.E. Hinton stories (Outsiders, Tex, Rumblefish), and "UHF" I'm not certain.  I don't think the movie "Tulsa" was filmed here (Rex Harrison?)

Here's a list of titles from IMDB (//%22http://www.imdb.com/List?endings=on&&locations=Tulsa,%20Oklahoma,%20USA&&heading=18;with+locations+including;Tulsa,%20Oklahoma,%20USA%22)

Entries range anywhere from "Keys to Tulsa" to WWF Smackdown.

Plenty of contributions to Hollywood in the way of talent over the years.

I remember when "The Outsiders" was being filmed in the Tulsa area, and it's always fun to be able to identify where in town they were filming certain things.

Has anyone noticed the filming at 21st/Boston area?  For a few days, I have noticed a large crew, limos, lots of cameras, etc....  Any ideas?

I also saw a film crew this week, in Jenks, at a farm house, I wonder what they are filming.

. . . But back to the question at hand.

I've seen this several times, but I don't recall seeing any familar scenes which would indicate that "Phenomenon" (except for the listng in IMDb) had any parts filmed here.  

I would be curious to know if anyone could let us know what scenes were shot here.
