Kuleana, or “responsibility” in Hawaiian, is a concept that is unique to the islands. Kuleana’s meaning is more complex than a mere translation can convey. Among other things, it examines the concept of family, allegiance, and what it means to be Hawaiian in the film that bears its name.
There are some intriguing views of Hawaii’s landscape in Jurassic Park flicks, even though they may not tell you much about the actual experience of living there. In fact, Manawaiopuna Falls on Kauai has earned the moniker “Jurassic Park Falls” due to its major appearance in the first Jurassic Park film.
Long-distance navigation using celestial bodies, ocean waves and other natural indicators such as bird observation is typically given credit for the first arrival of humans to the Hawaiian islands by Polynesian navigators.
Consider this film an example of one of those “so horrible, it’s good” movies. The story of 18-year-old Rick Kane, who travels from Arizona to Oahu’s north coast to try his luck on the legendary and brutal waves, is told in the cult classic North Shore.
In Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, a fable about an outlaw alien that crashes on Kauai and is mistakenly adopted as a puppy, Hanapepe on Kauai’s southwest coast served as the inspiration for Lilo’s home town. With its own mural on its local movie theater, the town of Hanapepe has taken its proper position in the film.
The 2017 Hawaii International Film Festival honored Out of State with the Best Made in Hawaii Feature and Audience Choice Feature awards.

The conflicts between conservative rancher Barrett Fears, one of Hawaii's wealthiest and most powerful men, and his headstrong son Mitch punctuated this series set and filmed in Hawaii.
This series very much resembled the adventures on the PARKER RANCH on the island of Hawaii although not covering the "historical background" found in the book THE PARKER RANCH OF HAWAII by Joseph Brennan...We had a TV series on CBS at that time (1975-76) and pitched the book on the PARKER RANCH around to programmers & producers on behalf & representing our good friend Joe Brennan who we saw often when in Hawaii...Unfortunately the BIG HAWAII series with it's fabulous scenery suffered from poor scripting and only lasted one season..But the writer went on to become an icon and prolific producer selling the hit series MAGNUM PI in Hawaii a few years latter staring Tom Selleck my school chum from USC among many other very successful TV series...
Released on August 16, 1996, Shelton and Norville’s long-gestating labor of love may be the most thrilling (and accurate) movie ever made about golf. The romantic comedy stars Kevin Costner as Roy “Tin Cup” McAvoy, a washed-up pro drinking his days away at a Texas driving range; Don Johnson as David Simms, his smarmy, play-it-safe college rival who’s become a Tour star; Rene Russo as Dr. Molly Griswold, the daffy shrink who comes between them; and Cheech Marin as Romeo, Roy’s loyal sidekick and caddie. There are cameos by dozens of Tour pros, too, among them Fred Couples and Johnny Miller. But the film is most famous for its excruciating climax, when Roy self-destructs on the 72nd hole of the U.S. Open. To commemorate Tin Cup’s 20th anniversary, GOLF tracked down the cast and crew for a no-holes-barred look back at an evergreen fairway classic.
The biggest one was making sure the climactic scene in the final round of the Open, where Roy hits ball after ball into the water on the 18th hole, carried the drama necessary to make it still feel like a win for Roy, even though he takes a 12 on the hole. It was great on the page, and we didn’t want to blow it.
Cheech Marin was the first to walk in the door, and after dozens of other actors I just couldn’t get him out of my mind. The character he plays is sort of the moral center of this wacky universe. He’s the truth teller, he’s got the heart. And the thought of Cheech being the moral center of a universe appealed to me.
Ron Shelton (director, co-writer): Our original idea involved a golf hustler at a driving range in West Texas, a guy with a bit of Lee Trevino’s background. But we didn’t nail it down until the ’93 Masters. I was watching at home in Ojai, and John was at home in Oregon.
Gary Foster (producer): Norville invited me up to Ojai one day to play golf with Ron. We called him “Ballwash Ron” because if he hit a drive off the fairway and over by the ball washer, he’d still find a way to make par. This must have been 1994. Afterward, over drinks, we decided Ron would direct, John would write, and I would produce. Then they went to Warner Bros., because that’s where Ron had a deal. It just so happened that Kevin Costner had a deal there, too.
Ron Shelton, the director of such brilliantly offbeat sports movies as Bull Durham and White Men Can’t Jump, was one of those armchair critics. When Beck made his fateful decision, Shelton immediately called his golfing buddy, screenwriter John Norville.
During the final round of the 1993 Masters, Chip Beck etched his name in the annals of golf infamy with his second shot on the par-5 15th hole. Beck trailed Bernhard Langer by three strokes with three holes to play, but rather than go for the green in two, he laid up, inciting the outrage of forehead-slapping second-guessers watching at home. Ron Shelton, the director of such brilliantly offbeat sports movies as Bull Durham and White Men Can’t Jump, was one of those armchair critics. When Beck made his fateful decision, Shelton immediately called his golfing buddy, screenwriter John Norville. The two men had kicked around ideas for a golf movie over the course of several years and even more adult beverages, but they could never find a way into the story. Beck gave them what they were looking for. What if the hero of the movie was the anti-Beck, a guy constitutionally incapable of laying up, a guy who went for it all the time, even when— especially when—he shouldn’t? That was the moment Tin Cup was born.
