Cool Hand Luke was filmed in my neck of the woods?

I did not know that. Yep, I have driven by where it was filmed many time.

Ralph Waite is shown here in this video as almost a baby and with a bum shot. 





This was also the area for some of the filming of Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry





And of course once Hollywood went home, our own home-grown serial killers came out to play on the same streets.





This is too creepy. This scene was filmed in the exact location the serial killers leave what is believed to be their first body. 



Geez, this keeps going and going. When they show the scene with the river and the hosts says how it has changed, that is the land that the Holt Brothers grew up on and developed the tracking for the modern tractor and military tanks that were used in WWI.

Always loved Paul Newman. Wish that movie had a better ending though. I like happy endings.

Just figured out that "Boone Walton" on the Waltons was also in Cool Hand Luke.

He was the guard who constantly wore sunglasses.
