Director Peter Weir asked tribal Aboriginal actors David Gulpilil and Nandjiwarra Amagula about the script and incorporated their reactions to the finished dialogue.
The city of Adelaide doubled for the city of Sydney a lot in this movie. During production, Sydney experienced harsh weather conditions with constant heavy rain. Such weather, ironically, had to be recreated in Adelaide, which was sunny and pleasant during filming.
The only film of Northern Australian tribal magistrate Nandjiwarra Amagula.
Prior to the casting of Richard Chamberlain in the lead role, two Australian actors were considered. One was rejected and the other wasn't available. A short-list was made of six actors who had international recognition. Chamberlain was sent the script which he thought interesting but was at first cautious about making a film in a foreign country and with a director he was unfamiliar with. Peter Weir visited Chamberlain at the Broadway Theatre where he was starring in 'Night of the Iguana' and the two clicked. Chamberlain was then screened Weir's previous film Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) where the film had yet to be shown at all in the USA. Chamberlain liked this film and at some time soon after this, Chamberlain was signed.
Chris is seen wearing a hat decorated with a small silver pin in the shape of an airplane. This identifies him as a member or believer in a "cargo cult" in which displaying the tiny plane summons an actual transport plane from England which then distributes valuable objects (cargo) to the natives.
"Chris Lee: Dream is a shadow ... of something real."
"David Burton: What did I see? Chris Lee: A dream. David Burton: What are dreams? Chris Lee: Dream like seeing... hearing... talking... the way of knowing things. Chris Lee: Like what? David Burton: Like if my family's in trouble, from dream, they send me a message. Chris Lee: In dreams?"
