Halle Berry
made her so nauseated that she vomited in one scene, and the crew had to bring in buckets for her before shooting her fight scenes.
d.
Costume designer
Walter Plunkett
worked uncredited on this early talking film. At the time, Hollywood was going through an extremely difficult transition from silent films to talkies. An incident that occurred during the production of this film was later immortalized in
Singin in the Rain
. While Plunkett was designing the costumes for that film, screenwriters
Adolph Green
and
Betty Comden
drew on some of Plunketts recollections as the source for gags about the perils of early sound filming. An example of this is the scene in
Singin in the Rain
in which Lina Lamont (
Jean Hagen
) taps Don Lockwood (
Gene Kelly
) on the shoulder with her fan but causes a thunderous noise on the soundtrack by disturbing a microphone hidden in Lockwoods clothing. This was based on a similar incident during the production of "Rio Rita".

Producer
Frank Yablans
had been involved in this project since its inception.
Michael Crichton

Yablans liked the idea so much that, without Crichtons authorization, he sold the film rights to Twentieth Century Fox in 1979, a year before the book was published. The technology to create the apes was not available at the time, however, and the project never materialized. During the production of
Jurassic Park
, Crichton was impressed with the dinosaurs that
Stan Winston
s studio had created. Producer
Kathleen Kennedy
(who produced both films) suggested using Winston again for the apes, and suggested the project itself to her husband,
Frank Marshall
, and Crichton agreed. This resulted in Yablans, Marshall and Kennedy collaborating on the film.
d.

There was a brief talk of shooting these scenes while shooting
X2
in order to insert them into the X-Men Special Edition DVD, but the idea was later scrapped. However, the bathroom set (which had actually been built) was used for the scene in X2 where Mystique drugs Magnetos guard with a metal solution.

Tired of chasing after detached beads, the wardrobe staff finally ordered the shoes to be worn only when visible on camera.
