9. That, um, never happened. With their massive amounts of drug-related violence, they did start to resemble America’s inner cities.

11. Ron Shelton would go on to write and direct Bull Durham and White Men Can’t Jump, and Roger Donaldson would direct the remake of Mutiny on the Bounty (“The Bounty”) and the Kevin Costner thriller No Way Out.
12. When the movie was released, the White House called the production office and asked if a print of the film could be sent up to Camp David for the weekend, as the president wanted to have a screening for the family of the movie Kev worked on. I tried to get invited to this, but that was not going to happen. I later asked Kevin if he’d heard anything. “I think they admired my camera work,” he said in typical fashion. “Otherwise I guess it was pretty silent.” I told him that someone from the studio heard that there was one family member who really loved it and was howling hysterically throughout. “Apparently it was one of Bush’s sons,” he said. And apparently the laughter may have had some pharmaceutical assistance (yes, his name was George, too). I told the studio rep, “It must be sad to be the son of the president and then end up never amounting to much?”
