What's left behind the scenes

The aircraft flown by Harrison Ford's character is a single-engine DeHavilland Beaver. The actor owns an identical plane and piloted it himself during filming. However, despite being a fairly experienced pilot, Harrison Ford had to undergo additional certification for the insurance company to allow him to fly the aircraft with other people on board.
The airplane used in the film was also featured in the movie "On the Edge (1997)." In both films, it crashes.
Julia Roberts was the main candidate for the lead female role.
Filming took place from July 7th to October 29th, 1997, in Hawaii.
Temuera Morrison and Cliff Curtis, who played the pirates, speak the Māori language (one of the Polynesian languages, the national language of the indigenous people of New Zealand). They found it impossible to pronounce the complex lines about gold, pirates, etc., so they babble nonsense on everyday topics, such as food.
It was assumed that this film would make Anne Heche (then an actress, virtually unknown) the most popular actress of that period. On the same week she was considered for the role (she was simply informed verbally, the contract had not yet been signed), the film company Touchstone Pictures fired Heche because the actress appeared in public with Ellen DeGeneres, a well-known lesbian, whom she had met just a couple of days earlier. (The studio executives decided that no matter how much money was invested, Heche would never become an actress whose photos men would cut out of magazines and paste on their walls). Harrison Ford used all his connections, and Heche was reinstated in the cast, but irreparable damage to her career had already been done. With the exception of Joseph Ruben's "Six Days, Seven Nights" follow-up film, "Force Majeure", she was no longer offered leading roles.
