After watching the movie a few times, I enjoyed it so much that I have created a series of caches celebrating this iconic moview.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a classic NZ adventure comedy-drama film, which was written and directed by Taika Waititi.
When Hec and Ricky are on the run, you will see Lake Wainamu (Bethells Beach) in several different shots, with the lake in the background.
The cache is hidden in the general area of one of the filming locations.
Other film locations are: Bethells area, Oratia, Pt Chevalier, Freemans Bay, Mt Eden, Waitakere Ranges, Kauaeranga Valley, Puhoi, Rangipo Desert, Lake Moawhango, Horopito and Ruapehu.
The movie is based on the book Wild Pork and Watercress by Barry Crump. The story line involves a national manhunt for a rebellious kid and his foster uncle who go missing in the wild New Zealand bush.
Starring Sam Neill ("Uncle" Hector), Julian Dennison (Ricky Baker), Rima Te Wiata (Aunt Bella), Rachel House (Paula), Oscar Kightley (Andy) and Rhys Darby (Psycho Sam).
Be aware if you are watching this with a child, it has a PG rating (Violence, coarse language, some scenes may disturb young children). This means guidance from a parent or guardian is recommended for younger viewers (eg some scenes are aimed at an adult audience).
The movie has an approval rating from: IMD 7.9/10, rotten tomatoes 98% and Empire 5/5.
