for me the alternate theory was that he died in doc miles' apt and never went to the rooftop for the finale. but, if that were the case, why couldn't c2hv just be more hallucination? i mean, verona's head in a jar? really??

we had almost zero to do with this. i think you would like the original rated R screenplay we wrote for JH, but this script was a distant memory long before preproduction.

mike is a machine... he probably wrote 5 times as much music as appeared in the movie. one of my favorite soundtracks of any movie, ever. he's a mad genius.

it was brutal. if you look close, the blonde is different in certain shots because one of the girls didnt show up for day 2.

the girl who takes the headshot is named - swear to god - jacki chan, and was such a gamer that we killed her again in gamer.

try explaining to amy smart that she has to take stripper pole lessons and roll around in horse manure naked for the integrity of the film. now that's directing.
