And there's some other ones over the years, but I think this jump-started.

Then, what was interesting about this movie is all the rip-off terrible movies that tried to, you know, like, the Jade, Color of Night.

Yeah.

Sliver.

I've seen them all.

I know Van has them all on Blu-ray.

This movie had people protesting various parts of it.

Like they couldn't even decide what to protest.

Sharon Stone hosted SNL in April of 92 and six people disrupted that and actually disrupted the monologue and they had to like change it.

But people were pretty pissed off for a variety of reasons about this movie.

Joe Esterhaus was the writer.

$3 million got for the script.

There was a bidding war from Carol Coat Productions, who, if anyone has ever listened to the Rewatchables, probably our favorite production company.

More or less, yeah.

Done a lot of Stallone, Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger classics, basic instinct.

Funding from... Craig's nodding happily over there.

Yeah.

And then Esther House gets mad because Verhoeven's putting all this extra stuff in the movie, ends up walking off the set.

$49 million budget, made $353 million, the fourth highest grossing movie of 1992.

For an aggressive, R-rated erotic theme.
