Revealing the crazy inside story of the controversial ``Natural Born Killers''!

And the genius turned crazy



As mentioned earlier, Stone is a director who takes full swing with any movie. If it's a crazy movie, I'll be crazy too. His trademark socialist side at the time was incorporated into the script. All that's left is for things to go wild, just like the main characters, the murderous couple Mickey and Mallory. Throw in everything from black-and-white footage like Godard to parodies of TV dramas to violence like the TV anime Aeon Flux . Play New York punk queen Patti Smith's number `` Rock'n'Roll Nigga ''. Girl Banks' L7 number is perfect for the prison riot scene!

The scene of the prison riot took place inside an actual prison in Illinois. The prison is actually functioning, and the environment is horrifying, with 80% of the prisoners being violent criminals. The racist structure, where all the prisoners are black and the guards are white, also makes the staff and cast uncomfortable. Once, when a staff member approached a prison guard and said, ``We want to install a light in that area,'' the guard responded, ``Wait a minute,'' and after a few minutes, ``We have permission. "They say it's okay to shoot him dead," he said. Anyway, the scene was brutal.


In some ways, Harrelson was perfect for the role of Mickey. His father was imprisoned as a murderer, and he got used to the prison atmosphere through visits. Stone said he chose Harrelson in part because he found it interesting. On the other hand, Juliette Lewis, who played the role of Mallory, required preparation both mentally and physically. Stone wanted her to be a passionate female warrior like Sarah Connor in The Terminator 2 . But Lewis wasn't ready for that. He was not used to filming, which was physically and mentally demanding. It was no surprise since she had such a young career in Hollywood. Lewis, who had risen through the ranks to become a popular actress and had a strong nose, had a brief fight with the crazy Stone.

During this period, Stone was also experiencing problems in his personal life. His married life with his wife Elizabeth was in trouble. Stone, who was frustrated due to the difficult divorce settlement, had no choice but to go crazy and vent on the set of ``NBK.'' Elizabeth's name, which had appeared in the end credits of Stone's works as ``Naijo No Ko'' until her previous work, `` Heaven and Earth '' (1993), was nowhere to be found in the end credits of ``NBK''.
