    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Joe Eszterhas's autobiography, he hated the final film. Director William Friedkin changed Eszterhas's script so much, he threatened to remove his name from the credits. Paramount settled with him by giving him a "blind script deal" worth $2-4 million. Later, Friedkin admitted that he did virtually rewrite the script, but Friedkin also said that this was his favorite film.
    • Goofs
      The footage that is recovered from the partially-burned Hi8 tape in the fire shows dust, dirt, and speckles upon playback. This kind of damage would only occur with a reel of film; a videotape would never exhibit film damage.
    • Quotes

      David Corelli: Cristal, Baluga, Wolfgang Puck... it's a fuckhouse.

    • Alternate versions
      William Friedkin created a director's cut of the film, approximately twelve minutes longer, which added quite a few scenes including a different ending. This version aired exclusively on USA cable network Cinemax in August/September 1996. It has also been posted on Hulu.

    Chaz and Linda are GREAT together!
    Don't believe all the negs about this pix. It's not just another "Basic Instinct," either. Chaz and Linda are the consummate couple. V-e-r-y classy. The set decorations are fantastic. I absolutely vote Linda the quintessential queen of soft porn (or was it "hard"--I haven't yet seen the uncut version). Was it Linda or was it Memorex? Whoever it was, her legs are fabulous! Angie Everhart's sultry soliloquy describing her passion for LF (Trina) was like butter melting on a hot lobster. I found myself replaying that scene over and over just to capture the full essence of the moment. The hit-and-run scene was extremely graphic, (wow,what a stunt!) except to Friedkin fans who expect a certain amount of gratuitous violence. The final scene with CP and LF was perfect. I could feel the sexual tension jump out from the screen. The beautifully haunting song, "Mystic Dream," by Loreena McKennitt fit the dark mood perfectly. I still don't know why I love this movie; to borrow a line from the film, it must be "hysterical blindness." Go see this movie with a date, and have a great time together afterwards!
