very adorable movie, lots of great jungle scenes, Billy is such a wannabe action hero. The pseudo-Christian present day scenes tacked on to the beginning and end were the only bits that made it feel like a B-movie, the male lead was a creep but the present day versions of Billy and his buddies were still cute. Bring me back to the jungle and the waterfall scene!
There is some talk (I haven't had a chance to confirm this with Bill Muir yet) but:
Originally the film was only about Billy Stone (Billy Unger) and the search for the Lost Medallion story line.
Principle photography was finished in 2009 and the film languished in post production.
Enter Alex Kendrick who added in the new beginning to the film. Alex Kendrick's character, Daniel, begins
'telling the story of Billy Stone' to the kids at the orphanage.
Alex Kendrick's additions introduced the religious aspect to the film, which did not appear in the original Billy Stone film.
Some parts of the original film were edited out to make room for the new sections; lots of conflict scenes
between Billy and 'The Trackers' and between Cobra (Mark Dacascos).
The religious aspects didn't bother me, in fact I liked the new additions to the film. However, I think it would have been
an even better film as originally shot. The Alex Kendrick additions took away from the films momentum. Just my opinion.
All parts of the original film were shot in Thailand and the Alex Kendrick additions were shot in Hollywood.
