The Legend of Billie Jean | Filming Locations UPDATE!

Our Gen X Life | February 20, 2026



We’re BACK in Corpus Christi, Texas with the latest filming location UPDATES from the 1985 cult movie classic, The Legend of Billie Jean! We made this journey last year and received LOTS of feedback from that video, which was mostly positive. But some of our viewers helped us locate places we either couldn’t find before or were a little off in our original video, so we decided to make this update video! Let’s take a closer look at some of the filming locations in the Corpus Christi area including some amazing drone views of the Sunrise Mall as it’s sadly being demolished.

    ÂżSabĂ­an que una mĂşsica de ese film, se ha invertido en Lost Media? DifĂ­cil casi imposible encontrarla. Es la de la escena donde le disparan a Mr. Payt y huyen en la secuencia de escape donde hacen las maletas.

    Thank you Abby, Keith, and The Search For Stoke for identifying the location of the lake scene, I had been looking for it for 10 years. The lake is larger than I thought, and I am surprised Matthew Robbin’s allowed Helen Slater and Christian Slater to enter the water, even if was only for a few seconds, with the risk of alligators. I can understand how the location of the Sonic was also difficult to find, as the demolition crew did a very thorough job, as even the foundation of the Sonic is completely gone. Only the entrance and exit curbside ramps are left.

    I'm still waiting for the sequel to "The Legend of Billie Jean." What's it like in Vermont? We know they arrived there, Billie Jean and Binx, but what happened afterward. Will the story ever continue? It was such a cliffhanger. Honestly, I didn't want the movie to end.

    Very nice job and owning up and re-doing a mistake in terms of the Sonic location. Although its nothing more than an open field on either side, it was cool that you guys verified it, and the truck flipping scene. Nice work.

    I thought this video was about the filming of the new Michael Jackson movie coming out. Lol. I have never heard of The Legend of Billie Jean. The Michael Jackson movie will have alot of 80's scenes. They even build an 80's Toys R Us for it. Super excited to see it!!!!

    I saw a video yesterday that some malls are being turned into condo/apartments. Also has anyone found where the mini golf course was located. I don't remember if that was covered in your other video.
