Fun Facts of Movie

When Gene Hackman started having back pain, the movie’s insurance company refused to allow shooting to continue because a permanent injury to Hackman could have cost it a lot of money. The insurers suggested shooting the movie in the United States, but sand dunes in Nevada were not the same color as sand dunes in Agadir. Several big American transport planes were used to transport tons of sand from the Agadir dunes in to camouflage the sand of Nevada. (Source: Beyond Casablanca, Page 131).
