Tom Sawyer

Actor Johnny Whitaker revealed on the television series Oprah: Where Are They Now? (2012), episode: Spice Girl Geri Horner, Vee Jay Ed Lover & Family Affair Star Kathy Garver (2016), that he did not want to make Tom Sawyer, he wanted to go to summer camp instead. But his parents made him make the movie. They reached a compromise that he would shoot the movie for a few weeks and then go to camp. He said after shooting for 8 weeks he was picked up by a helicopter on location, and then flown to his summer camp. He said it was completely humiliating to have the entire cast of young boys see him fly off in this huge helicopter while everyone watched. Indeed the movie turned out to be a big deal; it did a decent box office, got great reviews and was nominated for a couple Oscars, and even spawned a sequel. But Whitaker said he still regrets not being able to spend all summer at camp.

Injun Joe leaps out of the courtroom window and lands on the ground. When he gets up and starts to run, the covering used to hide whatever soft surface he landed on flips up for a second.
