Here's something I've always wondered about. In the movie "The Sugarland Express", the people on the run were supposed to be going to Sugarland, TX.
Now I don't really know what Sugarland looks like, but in the movie, Sugarland appeared to be shot down by the Rio Grande at Langtry!
Does anyone have any information on this? Inquiring minds (at least mine) want to know.
SIA
but as the entry notes, there are no citations for this info.The event partially took place, the story is partially set, and the movie was partially filmed in Sugar Land, Texas.[citation needed] Other scenes for the film were filmed in San Antonio, Live Oak, Floresville, Pleasanton, Converse and Del Rio, Texas.[citation needed]
The IMDB entry lists the following filming locations:
San Antonio, Texas, USA (Harlandale ISD Stadium & Military Drive)
Jester State Prison, Sugar Land, Texas, USA (TDC pre-release facility)
Floresville, Texas, USA (as Sugarland, foster home exteriors on 3rd at G street)
San Antonio, Texas, USA
Richmond, Texas, USA (Scene with patrolman pursuing Lou Jean after she steals car)
Del Rio, Texas, USA
Pleasanton, Texas, USA (Fried chicken scenes)
Converse, Texas, USA (Beginning at alternating flashing amber traffic signal, local cops waiting on side of Fina Station - traffic wreck)
Northside ISD Stadium, San Antonio, Texas, USA (Culebra and Loop 410; Alamo Downs grandstands can be seen in one scene)
