![]() ![]() UPDATE: Steve kindly wrote in to say that he thinks this may be the location of the old bus stop? No signal exists there today.īowdark's Bus Stop location, where the deer on the car hood was bought back to life, was a firework's stand known by the real name of Clint's Fireworks, at the Martin Springs exit on I-24, west of Kimball, TN, and at the eastern base of Monteagle Mtn. The signal was a prop put up exclusively for the film. The scene where Starman is driving and runs the red light in front of a rapidly approaching tractor trailer was filmed at the intersection of Eady Road and US Highway 231 in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. It right next to a gas station/firework store at an exit just north of the Kimball/ Jasper exit where the big Tennessee Alabama fireworks store is, about 20 minutes from Chattanooga. The scene where Jeff Bridges brings the shot deer to life outside the Bus Stop restaurant still stands, but slowly crumbles, along side I-24 near Kimball, Tennessee. The motel scene was at the Holiday Inn located on highway 41 in Lookout Valley. Being a "road" movie, many cities were used, but Lynchburg (home of Jack Daniel's) was one. Lynchburg, Tennessee (former Texaco gas station on courthouse square appears in one of the scenes). All of this is in Coffee County near Manchester,Tenn. That gas station was destroyed by a tornado that also hit my house about 3 miles away. The scene where she drives in the wrong lane towards the van, lug wrench turns red tree on fire is at Normandy Lake about 8 miles from where the Amaco gas station scene was filmed. The building was demolished back in the 90's, but I think the pavement still remains. Back in the 80's, I lived nearby and usually bought my gas at that station. The Amoco Station where they stop fo gas early in the move was located southeast of I-24 exit 105. A small 2 acre lake, now named "Crater Lake" was built by Tennessee Forestry, adjacent to the crash scene location. The opening scenes of the spaceship crash and fire were filmed at Prentice Cooper State Forest and Wildlife Management Area, located between Chattanooga and Powell's Crossroads, TN.
