What's left behind the scenes
- According to Stone, Kilmer was the second choice for the role, the first being Ian Astbury, a British rock singer. Kyle MacLachlan, a long-time Doors fan, stated he wanted to play Morrison, but agreed to the role of Manzarek after Kilmer was chosen.
- Krieger, Densmore, and Kennelly were the film's technical advisors. At the same time, the band members remained dissatisfied with the final version of the film, criticizing Stone for portraying Morrison as an uncontrolled sociopath, and denying this portrayal.
- The film features over twenty songs by The Doors. And Kilmer's vocals were directly overlaid onto the original recordings of the band. He portrayed Morrison so accurately that even former members of the group sometimes couldn't distinguish his performance from the original recording.
- Jim met Pamela Courson at 'London Fog' while The Doors were playing there, not on the street as depicted in the film.
- When Morrison is asked in the film to change the obscene lyrics in 'Light My Fire' for an appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show,' he expresses blatant disregard for the request due to his rebellious nature. In reality, Morrison insisted it was an accident, that he intended to change the lyrics but was so excited about performing live on television that he forgot to do so while singing.
- It was Joel Brodsky who took the famous photograph of Jim with his bare torso (on the cover of the album 'Best Of The Doors,' 1998), not Gloria Stavers.
- Oliver Stone met Jim Morrison shortly before his death early in his career.
- The advertisement featuring the song "Light my fire" never actually materialized. Jim did not give Buick permission to use it.
- Actors such as John Travolta, Richard Gere, and Charlie Sheen were considered for the role of Morrison. Among the directors who expressed interest in the project were Brian De Palma, Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, and Francis Ford Coppola.
- Producer Sasha Kharari purchased the rights to adapt the Hopkins-Sugerman book "No One Gets Out Alive" back in 1981, but it took him several years to get the film made. Manzarek and Jerry Hopkins worked on the screenplay, but serious difficulties arose regarding the rights to Jim's estate, as well as the use of his works. The rights holders – the Morrison and Kursons families – refused to cooperate with any studio. Two screenplay drafts were rejected, and work on the third dragged on for months. But Kharari, with his assistant Brian Glazer, managed to attract the by then well-known director Oliver Stone, a two-time "Oscar" winner for "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July," to work on the film. Stone had been negotiating his involvement since 1986, and in 1989 he joined the project initially as a co-writer. By this time, Jim's heirs had finally agreed to the use of his music and poetry in the film—in exchange for a confidential sum of money and a commitment not to mention other members of the Morrison family in the screenplay. The Kursons, in turn, made two demands: that Pamela Kursons not be portrayed in an unfavorable light in connection with the circumstances of Jim's death, and that the screenplay not be based on the Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugerman book "No One Gets Out Alive," which Pamela's relatives characterized as a "repulsive, pathetic speculation."
- Stone paid enormous attention to every detail. For example, to recreate a few seconds of screen time, the houses on Sunset Boulevard were restored to the appearance they had in 1967. The correct addresses were written on the envelopes that appeared in several scenes. In search of material, Stone’s agents scoured Los Angeles and Paris, and many participants in those events agreed to appear as extras and in minor roles.
