Where was Urban Cowboy filmed?

The movie "Urban Cowboy" was primarily filmed in Texas. While it takes place in Houston, most of the filming actually took place in Pasadena, Texas, near Houston.

Here are some specific locations used in the movie:

* Gilley's Club: The iconic honky-tonk dance hall where much of the movie takes place was actually Gilley's, located in Pasadena, Texas. It was a real, popular club at the time and is still a popular tourist destination.

* Other Pasadena locations: The movie also used various other locations in Pasadena, including a gas station, a bar, and a residential area.

* Houston: Some scenes were filmed in Houston itself, including the Astrodome (although the scene of the bull riding was actually filmed in Las Vegas).

While the movie wasn't filmed entirely in Houston, it accurately captures the city's atmosphere and culture, making it a popular destination for fans of the film.
