Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Hawaii, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable (a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote), so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
Its Wikipedia article also names Costa Rica as where this film was shot, without naming a place inside that could be pinned. That is prose rather than a Wikidata statement, and it is labelled here as such rather than guessed at.
