Movie Trivia/Goofs

While building the town set in Belize, the crew unearthed an ancient Mayan temple. It notified the Belize government, which declared the site an important historical find.
The film's failure at the box office was mainly attributed to Harrison Ford's performance, which many critics found to be too forced and over-the-top.
Actors Martha Plimpton and 'River Phoenix' disliked each other while filming this movie. However, while filming the movie "Running On Empty" they became a couple.
During casting River Phoenix was passed on several times for the role of Charlie Fox for being too old (he was 15). When no age-appropriate Charlie could be found Phoenix's tape was brought again to Weir and, impressed by the actor, he decided to put the age issue to the side and give Phoenix the job.
