I was an extra in this movie when I was 18. I had to hitchhike to get there. I was running around in a toga with a zipper and got hit with a giant boulder, so they had to retake the scene.

I never got to see it, so I'd love to laugh at it if anyone can help me find a way to do so 😆 Thanks Beverly Carver
