Beach Scene Filmed at Pismo Beach Ca.


Me and a friend of mine were extras in one scene in the movie,...I was just graduating high school and C. and I drove to Pismo in his jeep and were asked to be extras,...the best part of all that was meeting James Caan a very cool guy and Sally Kellerman,...hard to believe that was appx 33 yrs ago and Pismo has changed but alot of good memories from all the parties there. What a Long Strange Trip It's Been! Anyone else ever been to Pismo???? Or been an extra???

Yes behind Sally K.'s red caddy. I haven't even seen the movie since before the advent of vcr's,...so I just need to get the movie somewhere and slo-mo it thru that scene, seems to me tho' all of us in the background were out of focus..I'd have to see it again. Keep On Truckin'!

Lived there but a lot of this movie was also filmed in and near Fort Bragg.

What I found strange at those beach scenes is how many cars are driving around on the beach.

I think Pismo is the only beach in CA where it is legal to drive on.

And motorcycles. And horses. That scene looked surreal!

I've been to piano beach, and have been an extra in a couple of movies. A great time at both. I was an extra in the movie Forever Young. The most fun I ever had working
