Stanley Kubrick decided to hire Anton Furst to do the production design for this movie after being impressed by his work in the horror movie In compagnia dei lupi (1984). This was an especially challenging job, since Kubrick's phobias prevented him from flying, which meant filming a movie set in South Vietnam on a constructed set outside of London. Because the Vietnam part was set in the coastal city of Hue, there was no need to construct large areas of jungle. Several hundred palm trees were brought in from Spain to give the location a tropical feel. This also explains why some outdoor scenes (like the exposed mass grave scene) have clouds of smoke in the background to prevent the viewer from seeing the outskirts of London.
