Production Mistakes I think they Made on the Movie

Same deal with seeing both Michelle and Anne topless. One has a topless scene, the other has to have one, too.
Ooops, do I sound cynical?

Do you mean that if one star gets a nude scene, the other star insists on being nude, too? Or do you mean that if one star gets a nude scene, that same star insists that his/her counterpart has to be nude somewhere in the movie, too?
So did Heath win or lose when he was the only star jumping off the cliff? :laugh:

Maybe the actors have nothing to do with it, or no say about it. They obviously didn't object because they did the scenes. I guess these are just two more sets of bookends: Naked Heath and naked Jake; topless Anne and topless Michelle.

That would depend on your point of view, I guess. Didn't I read somewhere that it was contractual obligations because of other film commitments that prevented Jake from making the jump?

It might have been just a matter of keeping a 'balance.' As for them jumping off the cliff - if it were up to me I'd never have let either of them do it. Even a sprained ankle could have thrown a monkey wrench into the shooting schedule for days.

I think I read Jake was chicken. ;D But Marge is right, it was risky to let Heath do it.

That's it exactly. :)
