The Devil's Backbone

You're right. In one of the Backbone scenes, you'll see a sign for KY Route 8. I love the path Devil's backbone takes in the movie. It does start on the westside (of Cinti) then somehow goes across the river to KY, and then back across to OH to the stairs leading down from Mt. Adams to Broadway Commons area. Good times.

The hill where they start the backbone is in Western Hills. You go past all of the old factories and the train tracks on the west side, directly west of downtown.(I think its called River Road) You can go left to go to Wilder, KY or go right to continue on into Western Hills.
Where is the resturant where Mcddermott and Seth Green go to with those girls? I know its on the levee somewhere?

Actually, the opening is a hill on Springdale Rd. in Colerain Twp. You can see the I-74 and I-275 connection in the background. It jumps all around Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. And yes, part of it was coming down Ravine St. onto Central Parkway. Some other parts looked a lot like places in Price Hill going toward downtown but I'm not sure.

I don't think any of it was on the real Devil's Backbone. There are actually two parts of Devil's Backbone that do not connect. One is in Western Hills/Bridgetown area between Muddy Creek and Werk Road. The other part is in Green Twp. and Delhi Twp. Devil's Backbone does not go all the way down by the river; it ends just a little bit into Delhi when it dead ends into Rapid Run. It does have some hills and turns, but nothing compared to some other streets. I grew up on a road off of Devil's Backbone right past the Delhi Twp. borderline.

Also I love how the one guy falls into the river since that would have been impossible from the old Riverfront Stadium. He would have fallen into a bunch of dirt haha. Oh and it's so weird to see Newport in the background having nothing but trees and a few buildings... since it's so built up now since the Levee was built.

I didn't really like the movie that much but I love watching for places that look familiar. I thought the school looked a lot like West High. I don't know where someone thought it was a tech school... it's a regular Cincy public high school. I remember when the film was shot and they were looking for extras. Everyone at my school was so excited.

Does it annoy anyone else from Cincinnati that most people not from here have no idea how to spell it correctly? It's so funny.

the devils backbone is a series or roads by the cincinnati international airport (which is actually in KY where most of the movie was actually shot). Its not one continuous curvy street as they lead you to believe, nor does it go to downtown cincinnati. But, it is an entire neighborhood of streets. I used to drive past one of the houses on it all the time (the one with the porch one of the guys flys up onto)
