Punch Drunk Love had scenes from Waikiki Beach (Royal Hawaiian Hotel), but generally, surprisingly little footage from Honolulu and/or Waikiki in US

movies. There was more in the seventies and eighties perhaps, what with television series Hawaii Five-O; Jake and the Fatman, and Magnum P.I.

I'm assuming it's just become to expensive to film there

Responses:

I'm sure expense is a part of it, but I think a lot is probably burnout from the 70s and 80s. -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 09:43
The entire series of LOST was filmed in hawaii. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 09:26 16
- I specifically asked about Honolulu :-) -- nm - Facto Sep 24, 09:30 10
  - You mean the city where a large portion of LOSTs scenes were filmed? (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 09:31 9
    - Ok, allow me to claim ignorance as regards LOST.. Never followed it. Had it in the background plenty of times, but they were almost always in a Robins - Facto Sep 24, 09:35 1
      - Almost all the flashback sequences that were supposedly LA, were actually honolulu. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 09:44
    - You said "The entire series", though. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:33 6
      - You are correct. Do I need to draw you a Venn diagram? (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 09:35 5
        
        "This venn diagram looks like Hawaii!" - facto is asking about a subset, you are talking about a superset. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:36
        
        But he did not ask about all of Hawaii. See? -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:36 3
        
        That doesn't make my statement any less acurate...Perhaps I do need to draw you a Venn diagram.... (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 09:40 2
        
        The sky is blue. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:42 1
        
        Congrats, it's nice to see you make at least one accurate post a day. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 09:45
- The subject was good movies. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:27 4
  - Did you read Facto's post? He specifically named many TV shows. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 09:30 2
    - Ah, not this one. I limit my Facto intake. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 09:31 1
      - Wise man. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 09:42
  - yes, otherwise I would have been all over it ... Hawaii Five-O, Magnum PI, LOST ... Hawaii Five-O again ... ok, I'm out. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 09:28
