How
does one really start a blog? I
don’t know. So I’m just gonna
throw down and see what happens.
Here we go!
So
this blog is gonna be about movies predominantly so to kick it off I’mma share
my lovely trip to Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii.
If you’re a movie enthusiast I would suggest you check it if you’re on
the island of Oahu. They have a
pretty cool tour that takes you on a run of all the locations that movies had
been filmed on their ranch. These
movies include:
- “Karate Kid” (1984)
- “Jurassic Park” (1993)
- “Mighty Joe Young” (1998)
- “Godzilla” (2000)
- “Pearl Harbor” (2001)
- “50 First Dates” (2004)
- “Journey to a Mysterious Island” (2011)
- “Battleship” (2012)
The location for Pearl Harbor was very interesting because
the bunkers in the scenes are actual bunkers that were used in WWII. According to the Kualoa ranch site the
US military operated an auxiliary airstrip there.
They even left the footprints from "Godzilla"
Feel the need to hide from stampeding dinos? They'll let you. :)
They filmed some TV here too:
- “Magnum, P.I.” (TV, 1980-1988)
- “Lost” (TV, 2004-2010)
- “Hawaii Five-0” (TV, old and new versions)
- “Off the Map” (TV)
You
don’t even have to be big on movies to go because the place it beautiful. Check it:
They even have cows! :) (it is a ranch after all)
So, if you plan on going to Hawaii... or live in Hawaii... (see above) ;)
