It’s not the … It’s not the Richard Gere part I was wondering about. I’m glad that there was some acknowledgment of all the sex in the movie. They gave out beer and pot to the extras and encouraged them to have sex.
Maybe IMDB or some … Maybe IMDB or some book. Who remembers. But I remember that thinking Gere would’ve been the better choice. Pacino was a little toooo old to play a rookie cop.
From what I hear … From what I hear from an openly gay co-worker I knew at the time, the gay S/M swcene back then was even raunchier than portrayed in the movie.
Actually I read … Actually I read some of it and recall some bathrhous stuff. But when DePalma took it on with Pacino in mind, they played up the bathhouse angle. When Friedkin came on board wanting Richard Gere, they sought the sado/maso angle.
He’s dancing with … He’s dancing with his friend the late James Hayden and in the credits, he comes up as coke rag man or something.Actually Richard Gere was the one Friedkin wanted in this movie and Gere wanted to do it, but the studio didn’t think of him as a bankable star just yet. And you can file the deleted rim job scene with the fisting under GRRRROSSSSS!
Now that I think … Now that I think about it, you’re right…I just get a big kick out of showing this movie to people who’ve never seen it/nor even heard of it — they FREAK! BTW: I like your comments here — very insightful.
There were very few … There were very few black guys who were part of the leather scene in the 70′s. Racism was just as rampant in the gay community as anywhere else.
The screenplay for … The screenplay for Cruising was written by Friedkin, based on the Gerald Walker book as well as the gay “bag murders” of the late seventies. It was never going to be a “bathhouse slasher”.
There was a lot of … There was a lot of real sex in the movie. If you think the fisting scene was bad, you should have seen the rimming scene over the pool table, which was left of the cutting room floor.
