The lunch room scene (actually filmed in the library), hallway scenes and auditorium scenes were filmed at Arlington high school in Arlington Heights IL. The school is now closed but is still standing. I was an extra in the movie.
ReplyDeleteYou're 100% correct! I was an extra in that scene too! :-)
DeleteI remember that film, and I liked all the locations! I actually thought the interiors were shot at glenbard west! It was pretty good movie for that time! Jp
DeleteThe above location of the concert is at the Wallace Bowl in Gilson Park, Wilmette IL. I've been choreographing for the musicals there for the past 15 years. And yes the manhole is still there!
ReplyDeleteHi, I plan to go there in the near future and when I get my pictures take I will add the location to my site. thanks for the info and I will write to you again after I have been there.
DeleteThe locker room and shower scenes were filmed at Highland Park High School at 433 Vine in Highland Park, Illinois
ReplyDeleteMy father is a conductor with the UP railroad (during filming the CNW RR) He has polaroid shots taken from the train as they were filming. I'd love to submit them to this wonderful site of yours.
ReplyDeleteHi, thank you for the nice words. If you want to e-mail them to the site I will be happy to put them up on the page.
Deletemy dad worked for CNW as well....and was covering vacations on the carol stream branch...the wrong bridge is posted...the correct bridge is of the CGW branch, which is now a bike path.
Deleteand the great un identified location is a CNW costumer...Meyer material/or concrete...were lucas fathers trailer was supposed to be...
Deletestill searching for the location..meyer concrete NOW OZENGA....this were the location was, on st charles rd between gary and schmale ave in back of caputos...im a proud son of a CNW railway brakeman....
DeleteI don't know which scene you're referring to in this movie but that the great western railroad not cnw. I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure the trains and maybe even the tracks were removed by then.
DeleteI have been in the Glen Theater its supper small,
ReplyDeleteThe Glen Theater is still there. It is a classic center of a small town theater with just one or two theaters. The basement of the theater actually used to be a bowling alley. It is right across the street from the train tracks near where they also filmed some scenes. Glenbard West is also the setting for the book "The Girl Who Owned a City" and is commonly referred to as "The Castle on the Hill".
DeleteThe Pep Rally Gym scene was filmed at Christian Liberty Academy (Formerly Arlington High School) in Arlington Heights. At the time of it being Arlington High School the gym was called the Grace Gym. Can't say what Christian Liberty Academy is calling it now. In addition there was a scene filmed in the foyer of the Gym.
ReplyDeleteThe scene in the foyer of the gym of Arlington HS (now Christian Liberty) was the "first day of school" scene when Lucas was fighting through the crowd, jumping up and down to look for Maggie. (I was an extra in all the scenes filmed at AHS).
ReplyDeleteHow is some of the high school parts in Arlington Heights. My brother went to Glenbard West,i know all the parts of the school.And non of the scenes in the school are Arlington Heights.
ReplyDeleteI went to Glenbard west, so did my sisters one of which was an extra in the movie. The pep rally is neither of West's gyms (the old girls gym is now the library) the first school scene where the principal is trying to talk, and lunchroom scene's are not at west. I believe it even says in the credits Arlington High School. You can also tell by the scene in the principal's office and the lunchroom scene that the windows are not of glenbard West. Not everything is As It Seems. After they put the hot stuff on Lucas's junk supposedly in the locker room they open the doors and put him outside. Those doors work at the time the auto shop. There was also never a water fountain by the football field for him to sit on. He was originally supposed to jump into the lake but at the time it was deemed too polluted.
DeleteExactly that’s not west inside it’s not red
DeleteThere were definitely some scenes shot at Wheeling HS in Wheeling, IL. Charlie Sheen appears in my highschool yearbook, in the school and in character.
