For those people in search of a celebrity home or luxurious accommodations for island style living, Oahu isn’t a bad place to look. With dozens of celebrities passing through Hawaii for work and pleasure, it’s not uncommon to see some of the world’s biggest stars relaxing at beachfront homes and valley getaways. In fact, many Hawaii homes for sale on Oahu were once occupied by celebrities who were in the islands working on a variety of Hollywood films and movies. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, 50 First Dates, Blue Crush, Flight 29 Down, Hawaii Five-O, Dante’s Cove, Jake and the Fatman, the Jurassic Park movies, Windtalkers, Mighty Joe Young, The Karate Kid, Part II , Magnum P.I., North Shore, and Pearl Harbor were all filmed, at least partially, on location on Oahu. The popular television series Lost is filmed on Oahu. In fact, some of the show’s props can still be found scattered around locations on the island’s north shore. The series is especially popular with tourism officials who liked the show’s depiction of lush Hawaiian rainforests and picturesque beaches. A number of other shows were not filmed in Hawaii but based on places, people, and themes from Oahu, like Johnny Tsunami and Johnny Kapahala, two Disney movies.
