Kauai, Hawaii - In the beginning sequence when you first see Indiana and there's a waterfall in the background, that's on Kauai. When I was there a few years ago we walked a mile or two into the woods and came upon the georgeous waterfall. (which I jumped off of) The scene was actually filmed at the bottom of the waterfall, on the other side of the shore. Very hard to get to.

Despite that it supposed to be set in Tempe, most of the movie was filmed in Mesa or Apache Junction, AZ. The grocery store that Nicolas Cage runs into after robbing the Short Stop was an old Safeway store on Main St. in Mesa. It has since been closed although the building may still be there. The picnic scenes with Sam McMurray's family were shot by the Superstition Mountains in Apache Junction. And the "bank" that is robbed at the end is actually the Reata Pass Steakhouse in North Scottsdale. The restaurant and buildings across the street are still there, but a lot of the desert area around it is now expensive new homes.

The gas station Cage robs (or at least parts of the scene) was actually filmed at the Short Stop that was on Deer Valley Road just East of I-17. It's something else now. I think a Circle K. (I know, I watched it being filmed)

Every day there was fewer and fewer cars in the compound.
