Production
The Quest was shot over the course of 9 days in Cabo San Lucas during the 2003 Spring break following six University of Colorado students on their trip to help their friend lose his virginity.[3]
Release
After New Line Cinema moved up the release of their similarly themed reality film The Real Cancun, Universal Pictures pulled its original planned release in order to release it later in the year.[3] After The Real Cancun bombed at the box office, Universal was reportedly weighed their options on how to best handle the release for The Quest in order to avoid a repeat of the failure of The Real Cancun.[4] Prior to being pulled from the release schedule, the film had been intended for release on May 9, 2003.[5]
