KimberlySayWhat Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I was thinking about the same thing recently. About how Dallas' skyline looks about the same as it did in the opening credits of "Dallas". In contrast, I watched a movie about a year or two ago, also from the '80s, that featured Houston's downtown skyline and I burst out laughing because I thought they filmed some random city's skyline and tried to pass it off as Houston. It turns out it was Houston's downtown skyline and I didn't recognize it. This wasn't intended to stir anything; just an observation. I noticed that this thread seemed really popular so I decided I'd check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that this thread seemed really popular so I decided I'd check it out.If I recall, the opening credits show Dallas from the west; most of the major towers shown (BOA, Renaissance, Reunion) were in place. However, since the opening was filmed (I am guessing '84) the overall skyline added several towers: Chase, Fountain Place, Bank One are the ones that come to mind. Of course, Uptown didn't exist back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
