When the script was originally written, there was the following line:
Cherry lines up the sight on the gun. She scans the room until she locks on a poster with a guy on it. The red bead of the laser sight is on his forehead. Cherry pulls the trigger. It clicks. Not loaded. Cherry smiles, though. It feels good.CHERRY Bang.
In the next revision, Director Kyle Day changed the line to reflect a specific person on that poster. Trivia Question… who was the person that Kyle Day wanted on that poster? The first person to comment below with the name of the celebrity will win a mini-poster autographed by Julin, Director Kyle Day, writer Garrett Hargrove and other people from the film!
First Hint: The person on the poster is male.
Second Hint: The person on the poster is a star of TV and Film (but more so known for TV).
Third Hint: Per imdb, this person played his most famous character in 147 television episodes. (Although folks my age or younger might think another of his roles was his most famous.)
Fourth Hint: Born in the 1960′s.
ANSWER: Scott Baio
Yes. This is what Kyle was thinking about when doing rewrites on our stripper revenge film:
Congrats, Scott Sneddon on your winning guess!
*PLEASE*** Anyone who has a copy of the script, do not answer. And if you have the most recent version of the script, the celebrity on the poster has changed.
HINT: Cherry Bomb takes place in 1984 and the person was current during that time.
