128 In the Line of Fire (1993)
- In the UK release of the film, the scene where Mitch Leary
('John Malkovich' (qv)) kills the bank clerk and her room-mate was edited so
the audience did not witness the physical breaking of each of their necks.
Malkovich also wanted to include the killing of the dog in this scene
but director 'Wolfgang Petersen' (qv) thought this was a little too much.
- Malkovich improvised the scene where he puts the gun into his mouth.
Peterson liked it so much he left it in the film.
- The 63-year old 'Clint Eastwood' (qv) (with the help of a safety belt)
actually did hang six stories above the ground on the ledge scene, although
stuntmen did the jump and the fall onto the fire escape.
- Original trailer for the film had ``November 22, 1963'' appearing in large
letters on the screen. As Leary talks about how he was going to kill the
president, a clock ticked away in the background, changing the ``1963'' to
``1993'', followed by a slam-cut to Horrigan saying ``That's not going to
happen''. Bad preview reaction caused this trailer to be dropped.
