Wheeling, W.V.


I think this movie was made in Wheeling, W.V. I grew up there, and me and some friends were partying one night at the house across the street from where this was being filmed in Woodsdale. Big whoop, I know. We got drunk and waited in line to be extras, but never got in the movie. Still, there were rumors that some people from Wheeling are in this, though it's been so long, I forget who they are.

Anybody else from Wheeling out there who remembers when this was being filmed?

I'm not from Wheeling (tho I have spent time there) but I have been to West Liberty State College and I have been in the hallway and bathroom where some of the high school scenes were done. It's kind of neat to say "Hey, I've been there."

I was an extra in this. You can see me in the beginning. I'm one of the "kids" by the cars. I'm sitting on the hood of a car, smoking a cigarette. It was like 3am and FREEZING out. I filmed another scene in a hallway, but I don't think it made the final cut. Frederick Forrest did a Tarzan yell while I was hanging something on a bulletin board.

Yep, it was filmed mostly in Wheeling. The school in the last shot is Wheeling Park High and the main character's house was in Elm Grove.

Too bad this movie sucks...
