Tales From an Extra
Ok, I was an extra on the set of this flick. The amusement park scenes were filmed in Denver at (then) Elitch Gardens. Now it's a six flags. Now even though this isn't at the top of my resume I'd thought I'd share a few interesting tidbits. Loni Anderson and Hulk Hogan were miserable on the set. They would shoot their scenes and then duck right into their trailors. We called it the shoot and run. Most of the time they never even had their lines memorised. My biggest memory of the shoot was watching a ten year old boy asking for Hogan's autograph. The "Hulk" had one of his bodygaurds escort him off the set because he was eating at the time. The only thing I enjoyed was the free hamburgers and Jim Varney. A nice, nice man.
