Where'd they film this movie?
Just wondering where this was filmed?
shareLos Angeles..San Fernado valley.
shareIt was actually filmed in Colorado , primarily in and around Denver , with other scenes filmed in Georgetown , CO . Clearly the end scenes take place in Jackson , WY . Southern California wasn't "country" enough to portray the kind of modern west , "blue-collar" , feel of the late 70's . Disco and punk ruled at that point so filming progressed in Colorado . The end of "Any" was shot outside Joshua Tree National Park .
shareThe person who said this movie was filmed in Colorado is wrong.
The filming locations for this movie (go to main page for this movie and click on "filming locations") show Bakersfield, CA, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, as well as the Palomino Nightclub in North Hollywood, CA.
The first movie, "Every Which Way But Loose" was filmed mainly in New Mexico and Colorado. It's easy to see, check "filming locations" in each movie's entry on this site. Maybe the poster above was confused.
This is a general point but I'm surprised at people on here who ask where a movie was filmed yet it's easy to check "filming locations" at the left on a movie's main page.

A) Southern California isn't just the Los Angeles metro area.
B) Los Angeles is a pretty big city, you know. You can find just about any kind of music there, and in addition to punk and disco, the late seventies witnessed the full-scale "crossover" of country music into the mainstream. Unfortunately, by the 1990s, "country" had largely become straight rock with country twangs, themes, and touches, and it wasn't (in my opinion) nearly as good as the original country-rock of the late sixties and early seventies, let alone the rockabilly of the fifties.
But my point is that country music was actually becoming much bigger in the late seventies, and in the Which Way films, it hadn't lost its purity.
And as others have noted, the filmmakers did not shoot any of Any Which Way You Can in Colorado. share
