Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film's story-line necessitated the creation of a Dinner Key Ferry, which the three heroes hijack. The art department complied, renting an old ferry, rigging it up, and building an entrance in the Dinner Key Marina, through which cars could pass. The entire operation was realistic-looking enough that a local newspaper sent a photographer down to shoot a story on the new ferry slated for service in Miami. See more » |
