Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAn accident during filming killed stuntwoman Janet Wilder and injured her husband, stuntman Scott Wilder, and his father, stuntman Glenn R. Wilder. A boat was supposed to go over a ramp, fly over a mangrove hedge, land between two other boats, and stop in the water. Instead, the boat slid off the side of the ramp, flipped over, and landed in a crowd of crew and extras.
- GoofsOne of the final scenes shows a "media frenzy." A lens enters from the left of frame, but instead of being a prop TV camera, it's a Panavision Primo lens from a 35mm film camera used to shoot the movie.
- Quotes
Gus Green: I was just thinking. Say, 100 years ago, we were goin' fishin'. This is what we would be doin'.
Joe Waters: What do you mean?
Gus Green: Yeah, think about it. This is how we'd get our boat to the water. Now, we can't let that guy ruin our Florida vacation, eh?
Joe Waters: Hey, maybe you're right.
Gus Green: Yeah, and a 1,000 years ago, we wouldn't have paved roads.
Joe Waters: Hey, that's right, Gus. It would be filled with rocks and everything, right?
Gus Green: Yeah. And the boats would be heavier.
Joe Waters: That's right. We've got the latest technology wood. This boat's light, right, Gus?
Gus Green: Yeah, and guess what, Joe? A million years ago, we wouldn't have wheels for our trailer.
Joe Waters: And we wouldn't even have the friggin' trailer, right Gus? And Gus, if it was that long ago, our brains would be smaller. We wouldn't think about of anything like that.
