There were two problems with filming in California. The movie was supposed to be set in Illinois. There are no palm trees in Illinois. Director Harold Ramis also wanted to get away from studio execs while filming. So, he suggested moving the filming somewhere else. Florida was his first choice, but the golf course in Florida had palm trees, too. Rami decided he’d rather take the palm trees and avoid the studio executives, so the movie was filmed in Florida, palm trees and all.
