Actually Stallone did get that from me. I thnk her name was Judy Peterson who at the time was Marketign Director for Cannon Films. I met her one day in her office. I also met at that time the guy who wrote Good Guys Wear Black I think that was it. It was a famous book and even though I didn't who he was at the time I later found out he was pretty famous. Anyway, she told me about the meeting they had regarding the movie and product placement. A thing not many people know but my friend who was in charge of marketing the film and also my partner in the IAC raised over $40 million dollars in product placement money for that movie. INcluding $5 million from Brut by Faberge. ANyway she told me how everyone like what I did with the hat and what I said one time in an interview so they stuck it in the movie. Thiswas after I got fired off the film too. I shoud have sued him.
That guy in the pic I don't know. He was from Texas and I guess he was famous for breaking arms. He would stand over them and laugh. He did that just before me and it pissed me off. I swear it was so loud in there. And after he was pinned and he grabbed his arm you could hear a pin drop. I should have laughed at him
Another thing that happened at that event was we were shooting some off footage for a promo piece. Someone knocked over a light stand and it fell right on top of this lady. The promoter my partner Marvin looked at me like oh shit here comes a lawsuit. Well he jumps down and grabs this girl takes her outside and gave her $5,000 in cash. 5 minutes he comes up on stage and says how much he loves Billy Bobs and Texas and throws $10,000 out into the audience. The place went crazy. I asked him what he was doing and he told me he needed to get everyones mind off the accident. And it worked. We also promoted that Stallone was going to show up to the event. There were thousands outside the entrance of this place as we drove up in the limos . They were waiting for Sly. I was in the first limo. SO I get out and am standing with a couple of other guys. Well here comes the limo with Sly in it. Everryone starts going crazy. The door opens and he quickly waves and then darts inside. The place wasn't open yet. SO we are in there by ourselves. So then in about an hour or so the doors open and everyone is looking for Sly. Marvin ends upo telling everyone he had to leave all of a sudden on an emergency and left out the side door.
The funny thing is that it really wasn't Sly it was a lookalike he hired. This guy looked allot like SLy and at a quick glance he really did. SO everyone thought it was him but it wasn't. I wonder how many took pictures had them developed and looked closely at them and saw he was a fake. That was funny.
