The plot-line was based on two friend’s love of a Colorado beer. Back in 1976, Hal Needham was working as Mr. Reynold’s stunt double for the ’76 film “Gator”. The movie was being filmed in Georgia which created a funny problem: the two friends loved drinking “Coors” beer but in ’76, Coors was not sold east of the Mississippi River (refrigeration and transportation wasn’t the same back then).
