- Prior to the audition, 'Val Kilmer' (qv) memorized the lyrics to all songs
written by Jim Morrison. He also sent director 'Oliver Stone' (qv) a video
of him performing a few Doors songs, which Stone claimed hurt Kilmer's image
as Morrison.
- Kilmer wore special contact lenses which made his pupils seem dilated
in the scenes where Morrison was stoned
- Closeup shots use Kilmer's voice, long distance shots use Morrison's.
- 'Patricia Kennealy Morrison' (qv) played the High Priestess in the
handfasting scene.
- 'John Densmore' (qv) (The Doors drummer) was the recording engineer.
- 'Bonnie Bramlett' (qv) (of 60's group Delaney and Bonnie) played the
bartender.
- Stone's son plays the young Jim Morrison in the accident scene.
- DIRCAMEO(Oliver Stone): Morrison's film professor.
