TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

No body doubles were used in any of the sex scenes.

Upon seeing the film, Steven Spielberg noticed Wayne Knight and immediately wanted him to play Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park (1993). He stayed through the end credits just to find his name, and Knight ended up being the first actor cast.

Paul Verhoeven had some disagreements with Michael Douglas over his direction of Sharon Stone. Stone was reportedly very nervous and insecure, and in her first scenes, she was unable to replicate the performance that she had given during her audition. According to Verhoeven, she came very close to being replaced, but since he knew she had what the role required, he coached her intensively to get the required performance out of her. However, this caused Douglas to feel left out, as Verhoeven thought that Douglas, as an established actor, no longer needed such close attention. It eventually lead to a very heated argument in a trailer, the stress of which caused Verhoeven to burst a vein in his nose that caused profuse bleeding. When he went outside with blood-stained clothes, crew members believed that Douglas had physically hit him in the face.

Sharon Stone was director Paul Verhoeven's choice, but was only offered the role of Catherine after thirteen actresses had turned it down as she was not a marquee name at the time.

Michael Douglas felt an established star was needed to play Catherine, so the movie would be carried by two well-known actors, and the risk of career damage would also be shared. He suggested Demi Moore or Michelle Pfeiffer for the part, but no actress of name was prepared to go completely nude for the role. Pfeiffer said she found the idea of filming the erotic love scenes too daunting. "I just couldn't do that one, because of the sexual parts, the nudity," she's said. "My father was still alive. I'm kind of prudish. And honestly? I am not that uninhibited about my body. I'm modest."

Popular Dialogues

"Catherine: You know I don't like to wear any underwear, don't you, Nick?"

"Dr. McElwaine: Nick, when you recollect your childhood, are your recollections pleasing to you? Nick: Number 1, I don't remember how often I used to jerk off, but it was a lot. Number 2, I wasn't pissed off at my dad, even when I was old enough to know what he and mom were doing in the bedroom. Number 3, I don't look in the toilet before I flush it. Number 4, I haven't wet my bed for a long time. Number 5, why don't the two of you go fuck yourselves; I'm outta here."
