2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Showgirls (1995)?
a.
Because the first zip-line stunt ended up with Alexander Wraith tangled up with stunt cameraman Joe Perez, the stunt needed to be re-shot on the last day of filming. Alexander Wraith needed to catch a plane that morning from Las Vegas to Newark in order to make an audition that afternoon in New York City. The shot seen in the movie of an SUV speeding away from the zip line was Alexs real ride to the airport ... and when Alex reached Newark he needed to ride his motorcycle through rush-hour traffic to make it to his audition on time. (He did.)
b.
Based on the 1966 novel "A Jest of God" by Margaret Laurence.
c.
Although
William Beaudine
received critical acclaim both inside and outside the film industry for his direction of this film, for many years a story circulated that star
Mary Pickford
felt that he was too cavalier about the safety of the actors, especially in a scene where she had to carry a baby across some water filled with alligators (Pickford wanted to use a doll, but Beaudine insisted on using a real baby), and even though the alligators jaws were bound shut, Pickford swore that he would never work for her or her company as long as she lived. However, cameraman
Hal Mohr
, who shot this picture, said in an interview that the "alligator incident" never happened. He said that there "wasnt an alligator within ten miles" of Pickford, and that both the alligators and the baby in the film were all dummies because the studio would never have let a star of Pickfords magnitude endanger herself by working with real alligators, let alone allow a baby to go near them. In any case, Beaudine and Pickford did clash on the picture. Beaudine eventually walked off the set and turned the direction over to his assistant, and he and Pickford never worked together again.
