F.A.Q.
Q:Why did Harrison Ford do his own flying in Six Days Seven Nights?
A:
Harrison Ford, a licensed pilot, insisted on doing his own flying stunts for the film to add authenticity to his role. The production insurance initially balked at the idea, but Ford’s expertise and insistence that it would lend credibility to his character convinced them. As a result, all the in-flight scenes with Ford at the controls are genuinely piloted by him.
Q:How did they manage to film on the private island of Kauai?
A:
Filming on the lush Kauai island required special permissions as much of it is privately owned and environmentally protected. The production team negotiated extensively with local authorities and indigenous leaders, ensuring that the film's activities would not disrupt the natural habitat. They contributed to several local environmental initiatives as part of the agreement, thereby gaining access to some of the most secluded parts of the island.
Q:What really happened when Anne Heche was cast opposite Harrison Ford?
A:
Anne Heche's casting opposite Harrison Ford was almost nixed due to studio concerns about her then-public relationship with Ellen DeGeneres impacting the film’s reception. Director Ivan Reitman, however, was adamant that Heche was perfect for the role and threatened to walk away from the project if she was not cast. His firm stance ultimately persuaded the studio to keep her.
