Faq

Q

What happened to Helen and Jake?

A

Helen and Jake married and had a son, who they named John, wo can bee seen at the end of the film playing on the beach with Jake.

Q

Where are the props now?

A

As with most productions, props are either disposed of or recycled, though a few still remain from 'Monkeyshine'. The blue 'Pacifitours' shirt worn by actress Isabel Skeats, as well as the picture of Jake and his son, and the money on the map at the end of the film (which is in fact a very old 1 Yuan bill from China) are all in storage, though there are talks to auction them off, along with a signed crew T-shirt and the production clapper-board. Of the five original map props, only two remain; one of which is on display at the Cupsogue Pictures offices in Los Angeles, and the other at producer Gene Fallaize's home in England.

Q

Why does Jake shout at Helen in the office about 'telling everyone'?

A

Jake was upset at Helen as she had made photocopies of the map and passed them around the office to see if anyone knew anything about the map. She was trying to help, but Jake took offence, especially as Andrew and Peter mock him about it.
