Can someone verify that the Pushcart (formerly the Pirates Cove) was used in the movie Papillon when McQueen jumps off the cliff to escape Devils Island ?????

If you want to see Negril beach in the 50's rent "20,00 leagues under the sea" by Disney. The scene when the get chased by the "head hunters" was filmed in Negril

I'm positive Boobie Cay was used for aerial shots as Gilligans Island. Good place for snorkeling too.....Ginger & Maryann were nowhere to be found.

I think Ginger would've a been beach person maybe AI. Maryann the cliffs. Am I thinking too much? Off topic?

[Lorax2]

I always liked Maryann better...now I know why ;-)

This from wikipedia:

"Papillon was filmed at various locations in Spain and Jamaica, with the cave scenes filmed beneath what is now the Xtabi hotel on the cliffs of Negril. While the penal colony scenes for Papillon were filmed in Falmouth, and the swamp scenes were shot near Ferris Cross, Steve McQueen’s famous cliff jumping scene, near the end of the movie, took place on the cliffs in Maui, at Keanae.[3] McQueen insisted on performing the cliff jumping stunt himself, and later referred to it as "one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life".[4]"

The owner of Arthur's bar on the beach was Kirk Douglas's water boy during filming of 20,000 league's. My friends and I sat and talked with him for over an hour a couple of years ago.
