Hanalei is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 3 productions, in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.

“Aerial footage of Molokai's North Shore cliffs was then filmed over a two-day period, followed by a week of filming in Kauai, where locations included Hanalei Valley and rain forests in the Manoa Valley.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Hanalei as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Jurassic Park III 2001
Uncommon Valor 1983
“The opening scene depicting the Vietnam War was filmed a short distance away in a rice paddy, two miles (3.2 km) from central Hanalei, Hawaii, and 200 yards (183 m) from the Kuhio Highway (Route 56).” Wikipedia
Diamond Head 1963

Named here by Hanalei’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Hanalei, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

The Descendants 2011

“Parts of the movie The Descendants were filmed in and around Hanalei, on the beach at Hanalei Bay and in Princeville.” Wikipedia
