ED-209 doesn’t simply shoot this man, it virtually pulverizes him, in some of the pointed and darkly humorous moments within the film. And in keeping with an interview with Kevin Web page (the actor who performed the position of “Mr. Kinney”) taking pictures this scene was a significant ordeal. Whereas the screenplay’s description of the scene featured “minimal” stage instructions, director Paul Verhoeven isn’t precisely identified for his subtlety …
The preliminary shoot wasn’t sufficient for Verhoeven, who introduced the actor again for extra filming two months later. They actually reconstructed “the entire boardroom set” with a view to get extra pictures of the actor’s dying scene. They have been outfitted with an “estimated 200 blood squibs” and repeatedly decreased to a bloody mess over a interval of three days. For some takes the crew even mixed the baggies of faux blood with what occurred to be that day’s lunch on the studio commissary: “spaghetti squash” – which apparently yielded the ugly viscera solely a pasta meal can present.
