We drove the whole perimeter of O'ahu Island...in two days...it's that small.


Beautiful beaches...most so small hardly anyone was on them.


Found a nude beach too...but, that's a story for another time...

Several famous actors and figures were offered roles in the film before the final casting was made.

After writing the script for the film, Stone sent a copy to Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors, offering him the lead role.

The script was found in Morrison’s apartment at the time of his death.
