Real of Scripted?

Hey,

So I'm having trouble finding verifications of which scenes are scripted and which ones were actually filmed without scripts and showed candid reactions from the people Bruno screwed with.

So far, this is what I found:

The opening scene where he crashes the runway model show was real, and caused him to get arrested. (How did he get in there anyway?)

The terrorist guy was real.

The reaction to the tv show pitch, which featured the swinging penis, was real.

The Swinger's Club part was real.

Harrison ford was scripted.

That's really about it. I don't know what's true or not so if you could please provide some insight I'd greatly appreciate it.

The "Richard Bey Show" was set up for the film but the audience reactions were real.

I haven't heard about the Straight Dave scene but I would think that audience wasn't in on it either.

Straight Dave was real. They had to film it in two different locations because the first time they did the stunt the audience was so enraged they become violent, started hopping over the cage, throwing chairs, etc. Sacha left and they filmed in a different town, this time tying the chairs to the ground and increasing security.

all the scenes were scripted but played with good unknown actors.

what about the parents hes interviwing for the baby photo shoot are they real cause that is so ridiculous

I was wondering about the baby photo shoot too... can that be real?

Was the tv show real? B/c they couldn't take away baby OJ and he got them back...

And I'm pretty sure the dominatrix was fake...

It may have been. I think a lot of people assume that he just interviewed three people and got those reactions when in reality he probably tried it with 20 or more and took those best 3 out of them
