A good portion of this movie was filmed in Northern California. You can drive up the Feather River Canyon on HWY 70 in beautiful Plumas County. In the beginning of the movie there is an aerial shot of Bacon and the boys driving the VW van up the canyon with the Feather River snaking along side them. The film crew set up shop in Quincy, California where I was raised. They filmed in different parts of Plumas County including an old general store that is located in Cromberg, CA...since out of business long ago but the building is still there. Another shot was at Silver lake also in Plumas County. It was a good summer back in 1987 as a high school kid in the small town of Quincy (pop. 5,000) the filming of this movie that summer was really cool. The picture of the young boy holding the rainbow trout in Vic's portfolio is a local boy from Quincy, CA. Although it has been 19 years since the filming it brings back memories of that summer and it is neat to see movie buffs still discussing the movie online.
