Queens Pier, Ramsey
I lent the crew my Citroen Dyane, they took the boot off and strapped the
cameras to it and pushed it up and down to film - I spent the day in the
Queens Hotel charging everything to 'film production'! There were other
sites used too - not sure exactly where! Thanks Marion for your submission.
Creg Malin, Peel
Filmed at the Creg Malin Peel. Whole of the old front bar transformed into
1800's. Thanks Derek for your submission.
Castletown Square, Castletown
My son, who was 8 years old at the time, was an extra in the film. He played
along side lots of other children who had been recruited from Victoria Road
School, Castletown to play street urchins. The location for filming was
mainly in the Square in Castletown which was covered in sawdust.
Many thanks Janie Kinley for your submission.
Peel Castle, Peel
I was a prop assistant for this movie and remember two locations very
distinctly: Castletown, where there was a cattle market set up (and
most of the sheep escaped before filming) and the Castle in Peel in
the tower of which the director had planned a romantic get together
between Sylvia Kristel and Rutger Hauer. The tower had no roof and
someone got the brilliant idea of filming seagulls flying over the
opening in the night sky. So we tried to attract the d**n birds by
throwing leftover fish over the opening in the roof, ending up with one
icy cold plaice landing on Ms. Kristels naked skin. And all the time
not a seagull in sight - not to mention that the film was screwed up
and had to be shot again - indoors this time...
Thanks Bert for this detailed submission.
