10 Movie Scenes Actors Refused To Shoot
7. Jeff Anderson Refused To Speak Porno Titles In Front Of A Child - Clerks
One of the many intensely memorable - and hilarious - scenes in Kevin Smith's debut Clerks sees video rental store slacker Randall (Jeff Anderson) ordering a long list of obscenely-titled porno tapes in front of a mother and her young daughter.
Smith originally intended for the entire scene to be shot in a single wide master shot, where Randall, the mother, and the child could all be seen together for added comedic effect.
However, actor Jeff Anderson refused to say the lewd VHS names in front of a small child, and so Smith agreed to the compromise of having him read the porno titles in a tighter close-up shot without the child present.
But because Anderson thought the list of movie titles was excessive, Smith decided to have a little fun with Anderson by adding a ton of extra titles to the list, bringing it to a total of 19 porno flicks.
