Scouting Location facts
While investigating facts about Scouting Location, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Werner Herzog was supposed to board a flight to Peru to scout locations for his film "Aguirre", but he cancelled last minute. The plane crashed into the Amazon, killing 91 out of 92 people on board. Years later, he dedicated a documentary to the lone survivor who made it out of the jungle alive.
While scouting locations for Full Metal Jacket, Stanley Kubrik, looking at out the window, drove into a ditch and rolled the car, he then climbed on top and continued talking about the location he just found without ever mentioning the accident he just had
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 12 of the best facts about Scouting Location I managed to collect.
