Interesting facts

Abducted is a 1986 Canadian thriller film directed by Boon Collins and starring Dan Haggerty, Lawrence King-Phillips, and Roberta Weiss. The film follows Vern, a mountain man who abducts jogger Renee and holds her prisoner at his cabin.

Production

The film was loosely based on a kidnapping case in the United States that writer-director Boon Collins had read an article about, in which a female biathlon runner was abducted by a father and son.

Collins cast actor Dan Haggerty in the role of Joe Evans; Haggerty, who at the time had recently been in legal trouble for a drug bust, had played the titular Grizzly Adams in The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams film and television series. In the role of Renee, the abducted protagonist, Collins cast Roberta Weiss in Toronto, feeling that she had a "serious" demeanor that worked for the role.

Principal photography took place immediately north of Vancouver, British Columbia on a budget of under CA$200,000. The shoot lasted approximately 17 days.
