<P> The film was shot on location in Tulsa , Oklahoma . Coppola filmed The Outsiders and Rumble Fish back - to - back in 1982 -- a newspaper , used to show a story about the three greasers saving the kids in The Outsiders , includes a real story from 1982 regarding the death of a man hit by a train in Boston . He wrote the screenplay for the latter while on days off from shooting the former . Many of the same locations were used in both films , as were many of the same cast and crew members . The credits are shown at the beginning of the film in the style normally found in a published play . </P>
