Sharon Stone here is INSANE. Sexy, but truly insane.

I've watched this movie when it first came out when I was a lot younger, I've learnt a lot more about the story now after watching your reaction ,many things I didn't pick up back then

Since the alien has acid blood its veins must be made of something that is incredibly strong yet also very light and flexible to allow the creature to move. If they discovered how to replicate that then they would have the strongest, most protective building material ever and it would net someone a fortune. It would be even more profitable than using the alien as a weapon.

See. Again i. Under stood. More. What. Was. Going. On. I. Think. This. Is. Paul. Verheoven. Best. Movie. Tell. Me. What. You. Think Shawn. Walker

Before I begin: You may want to avoid Basic Instinct 2. It's not good. I mean... it's a major downgrade of a sequel. Some trivia: 1. Paul Verhoeven, the director of the film, realized that he would be filming Basic Instinct in San Francisco, the same city as Vertigo, which BI also had a similar premise. So, he decided to lean into the Vertigo reference by having Catherine's iconic white dress and hair style mimic Kim Novak's outfit from Vertigo. 2. Joe Eszterhas wrote the script in ten days in the 1980s while listening to The Rolling Stones non-stop without even having a story outline. He also incorporated a few of the songs into the script (the opening scene was set to "Sympathy for the Devil", while the dance scene in the club was set to "Gimme Shelter"). 3. Sharon Stone's infamous leg-uncrossing scene was not in Joe Eszterhas' original script. It was thought up by Paul Verhoeven while the movie was being shot. It was based on a memory of Verhoeven's college years, when a woman at a party had done the exact same thing to embarrass him. A funny aspect of the scene is that when they watched it, some people believed they could see all of her down there, while others state all they see are the inside of her legs. 4. The LGBQT community that resided in San Francisco was not happy with the script and Hollywood filming another movie that portrays lesbians and bisexuals as killers. The formed a small activist/consultant group that tried to get the script changed (suggesting that they genderflip the hero and villain, making the cop a woman and the villain a male). However, Verhoeven wouldn't allow for that. As a result, the activists would form protests outside filming locations to try to ruin shooting. They even had signs that read "Honk if you like the 49ers" outside of locations to get people to blow their car horns as they drove by. They even renamed their consultant group as "Catherine Did It" to spoil the ending. 5. No body doubles were used for the sex scenes. 6. Joe Eszterhas based Catherine Tramell on a go go dancer he knew in Ohio, back when he was a newspaper reporter. One night he picked up the stranger and they went back to his hotel room to have some fun. "She reached into her purse, and she pulled out a .22 and pointed it at me," he told Nerve. "She said, 'Give me one reason why I shouldn't pull this trigger.' I said, 'I didn't do anything to hurt you. You wanted to come here, and as far as I know, you enjoyed what we just did.' And she said, 'But this is all guys have ever wanted to do with me, and I'm tired of it.' We had a lengthy discussion before she put that gun down." 7. Catherine's car is a 1991 Lotus Esprit SE (Type 85). The border around the license plate advertises Ron Greenspan, a dealer out of San Francisco that supplied the cars to be used in the film. 8. The club featured in the film features a church theme. This club's design was modeled after a real dance club that existed. The club was called the Limelight, it was chain of nightclubs owned and operated by Peter Gatien. It had locations in New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, London and Hallandale, Florida. The one in New York City was the one that inspired the dance club seen in the film, as the one in New York was set up in a former Episcopal Church. 9. This film was final film of Dorothy Malone, who played Hazel Dobkins. 10. Paul Verhoeven considered this film to be the spiritual successor to one of his earlier films, The Fourth Man (1983). 11. Linda Fiorentino was considered to play Beth. She would later play a major part in another erotic thriller written by Joe Eszterhas: Jade (1995), which was also set in San Francisco. 12. Paul Verhoeven, who directed Total Recall (1990), offered the role to Sharon Stone mainly because he admired her performance in that film, where she played an evil character pretending to be innocent, even though reportedly 15 other actresses had turned it down at that point. 13. Sharon Stone was nervous filming the first sex scene with Bill Cable (who played Johnny Bozz at the start of the film).

As usual most people under 40 or 50 don't understand this movie - without knowing anything About God and the Bible - Indie not wanting "gold". Watching it for years and originally at theater when it came out. They just don't get it. They think someone put sand in the ark but again most don't get. This is a nod to old movies of the past. They don't make these kind of movies because kids don't know movies. It's NOT about gold". Again, because they have mostly terrible movie making in the past 30+ years. The last crusade people don't understand the references either. It's sad.

Fact Barbara is his wife in real life he said that is why it was so easy to flirt with her

And the soundtrack is recorded by the greatest musician of all time...💜💜💜

before they outlawed it in texas, they could legally execute anybody who was different. mentally challenged, handicap Etc

I like the sentiment that you said that people don’t want safety which although I agree, I don’t want safety, at least in America between 911 and the pandemic. I think it’s clear that people want safety they would rather give up everything even the rights for safety.

My favourite movie

I think the reason Red got paroled was that he finally told the parole board what he really thought, rather than what he thought the board wanted to hear.

Interesting movie but it’s so scary to see this happening to the character.great reaction

Regarding the detective, he wasn't judging Jeffries regarding the overnight stay of Lisa. During those years, it was ILLEGAL in many states, if not most or all, to have overnight company by the opposite sex within public buildings, as was the case here. Apartment building owners didn't want scandals that frequently come from non-married couples shacking up, especially regarding drunken orgies that many singles find themselves in. Society also had still associated pre-marital sex by women as something shameful, especially for the very young women. Society tried to protect women by enacting these laws to make it more difficult for unmarried young women to not only be knocked up with unwanted children, but also to protect them from assaults that would turn out to be a "he said-she said" circumstance. You have to understand the times. The detective was not being judgemental.

The sequel to this, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues", is pretty good as well. Most of the main cast return for the film released in late 2013.

the speech that his adopted dad tell superman in this film compare to steel is like night and day. I much prefer this version and it was one of the reason i did not like man of steel when it came out
