Production
Originally named For Better or for Worse, the film is a romantic adventure caper, and has been called a low-budget attempt at the Romancing the Stone formula.[1]
It was co-written and directed by Gene Quintano, author of several comedy and adventure films for Cannon, including Treasure of the Four Crowns (with this film's co-writer Jerry Lazarus) and the two Richard Chamberlain/Sharon Stone Allan Quatermain films. Quintano was coming off the third and fourth installments of the Police Academy series, and was joined by longtime franchise producer Paul Maslansky. Argentina was considered as the main shooting location, before Spain was chosen. Additional scenes were filmed in Washington, DC. Photography took place between May and August 1988.[2]
European-based American actor Tony Anthony, star and producer of the Spanish-shot Treasure of the Four Crowns, acted as producer on this film as well. Spanish production manager Francisco Bellot also returned.[3] Another production partner was a subsidiary of Trans World Entertainment, whose boss Moshe Diamant would forge a long running association with Quintano.[2]
Actors Paul Reiser and Jonathan Banks both suffered injuries during the shoot. In the case of Reiser, who was the original lead, he had to be hastily replaced by Robert Hays. The majority of the footage shot during Reiser's three-week tenure had to be reshot at a cost of $1 million.[2]
In an effort to sell it as a Police Academy spinoff, the film was retitled Honeymoon Academy before release, despite being quite dissimilar in tone to the established series.[2]
Release
The film was released on VHS in Sweden in December 1989[3][4] before its theatrical release in the United States on May 11, 1990.
