Shotover River, Otago, New Zealand . lotta of the movie was filmed in New Zealand
I worked on the entire shoot in 1985 and you are partially right. most of the first river scenes were filmed in Shasta california, on the Hearst Estate. The "big" water shots were added when the crew went to New Zealand almost a year later. We did a lot of filming at Gold Lake,Bucks Lake, Sardine Lakes, Sierra Buttes and Highway 70 along the Feather River.
shareThe Sierra Nevada's looked awesome. Movie may not have been too good, but the scenery was worth it.
