What's left behind the scenes

  • The full version of the film has a runtime of 89 minutes.
  • Susan Petri couldn't manage to cry, so director and screenwriter David Cronenberg had to resort to using onions. The actress did start to cry, but the scene had to be scrapped due to equipment problems. The onions were no longer available on set, and the actress allowed Cronenberg to slap her. He hit her until her entire face went numb. Barbara Steele, another actress involved in the scene, wasn't warned about anything and assumed Cronenberg was seriously hitting the actress. After filming, she firmly demanded an explanation from Cronenberg, which she received.
  • According to Lynn Laurie, the shoulder her character stabs with a fork was Cronenberg's shoulder. He had a soft pad placed under his shirt, which was supposed to be hit, but Laurie missed and drove the fork directly into the director.
