The teen invites herself and one of her fellow cheerleaders over to wash Sam’s car for a charity car wash, and then manipulates the situation so that she and Sam are alone in his house. It’s the perfect movie for the era of Melrose Place, teen horror and upbeat alt-rock, combining those elements with the noir tradition of convoluted stories about sultry reprobates making bad decisions.Īt first it seems like Sam is the one who’s made a tragically bad decision, and Kelly may be the movie’s femme fatale. That’s one of the greatest pleasures of Wild Things, a thriller that seems to have purchased its plot twists in bulk, and always deploys them at the exact right moment. Sam and Kelly are far more intertwined than they first appear, although it takes pretty much the entire movie to reveal the extent of their entanglement. Sitting in the auditorium’s front row is Blue Bay High queen bee Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards), whose contemptuous delivery of “Fuck off” is the movie’s first spoken line, as she fends off the advances of an uncouth high school boy. But McNaughton and screenwriter Stephen Peters subvert those expectations right away, as guidance counselor Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon) prompts whoops from the assembled student body by writing “sex” on the blackboard, and then groans when he adds the word “crimes.” The thesis of the movie is literally written in large letters right there: It’s about sex and crimes, and how those two intersect and influence each other.

Kimball’s camera swoops over the swampland of the Florida Everglades, catching an alligator peeking its head out of the water, and then to the tacky strip malls and cookie-cutter suburban houses, on to the downtown office buildings and then to the sprawling (and equally tacky) estates of the rich blue bloods that run the appropriately named town. As the sun rises, cinematographer Jeffrey L. "It was a slow motion sequence that was squashing of grapes on face," he revealed.The opening shots of John McNaughton’s sun-drenched 1998 noir Wild Things efficiently lay out the dynamics of the South Florida community of Blue Bay. And I think the grapes was probably the one time in six months of shooting that didn’t work out." "The brilliant thing about Tom is that he- So Tom has brilliant ideas and will just have an image of something and go for it. "Yeah, that was not, it was not good," Corey continued. "Because I don’t want to speak about the grapes," India added, before saying that it was "a taboo". "There’s a sequence with some grapes that didn’t quite make- We haven’t spoken about the grapes in about nine months," Corey said. In an interview with Decider, India and Corey explained how a bunch of grapes was originally involved in that specific scene before it was cut from the episode altogether.ĭiscussing their most memorable moments of the 'Even Days' sex scene sequence, Corey and India divulged the filmed moment that will now never see the light of day. Behind the doors, Charlotte and George can be heard wrecking the table, cutlery and plates flying everywhere, and moaning loudly. They argue, they kiss, then George lifts Charlotte onto the table, but viewers end up outside the room with Brimsley, Reynolds and the rest of the staff who have been excused. After their coronation, they get down to it multiple times, including during one particularly charged scene while they're eating dinner, surrounded by their household staff. In episode three, 'Even Days', viewers see the full extent of Charlotte and George's royal duty to produce an heir – all while they're kind of hating on each other a little bit.
