Funny you should mention that - one of my friends WAS an extra for this! $6.00 and hour to stand around and scream… for three hours. Makes you wonder what they cut out.

Oh and by the way, I second the Webster vs. Arnold idea!

And it should’ve been Paula Jones vs. Gennifer Flowers. Now we’ll never know. ☹

Do you think Vanilla Ice or Tanya Harding actually took these fights seriously? I can’t tell anymore.
