Did you all know that the movies "The Frigheners" and "Phenomenon" were partially filmed in Tulsa?

quote:
Another critical disappointment, The Frighteners was directed by Peter Jackson who would go on to make the Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong. Starring Michael J. Fox, the comedy-horror tells the story of a psychic who finds himself in a mystery when small town inhabitants begin dying mysteriously.

Filmed mostly in New Zealand, Tulsa is the only US location in which the movie filmed, but identifying the scenes is certainly difficult.


quote:
This John Travolta with super powers tear-jerker seems to be a love-it or hate-it kind of a movie. After seeing a strange light, car mechanic George Malley (Travolta) suddenly becomes very intelligent, even possessing telekinesis. Everyone wants to know the reason for his change, but George wants to court Jace (Kyra Sedgwick), a single mother new to town.

Watch for various areas in and around Tulsa, one of 10 filming locations for the movie.

And of course the movie "The Outsiders" was filmed there?  What are some other movies that you all know of that were filmed or partially filmed in Tulsa?
