- Quotes
Bill Chrushank: [Bill confronts Dr. Agatha Webb to remove the arm] I want it off.
Dr. Agatha Webb: Are you insane?
Bill Chrushank: I've got serious problems doctor. I hit my kid, I tried to strangle my wife, I have nightmares every night! Look it's, it's okay alright? The arm's fine, I don't want it. Just give it to somebody else, just give me a hook or something.
Dr. Agatha Webb: Do you realize what I and my team accomplished with that arm of yours? Don't you realize that if a gun were put to my head I wouldn't jeopardize the accomplishment that your surgery represents.
Bill Chrushank: CAN'T YOU SEE THIS ARM IS KILLING ME!
Dr. Agatha Webb: I'm sorry to put this so bluntly Bill, but the pain your in just isn't that important when I balance it against the significance of the experiment.
Bill Chrushank: You won't perform the operation on removing the arm?
Dr. Agatha Webb: No. And I'll see you put in a mental institution before I let you undo what I've done.
Bill Chrushank: Let me be blunt doctor, but why don't you go fuck yourself!
Dr. Agatha Webb: Get the hell out of this office!
Bill Chrushank: FUCK YOU AND ALL OF YOUR BULLSHIT! I WANT THIS FUCKING ARM OFF!
- Alternate versionsTwo scenes were heavily cut due to Paramount's insistence:
- The car crash sequence was cut back by almost 40 seconds. Deleted was a backwards tracking shot from Jeff Fahey on the road to his twitching, severed arm on the ground. He stares at it in horror until it's splattered by a truck, and he passes out.
- The surgery scene a few minutes afterwards was cut by well over a minute, deleting several shots of Jeff Fahey's exposed stump/wound, and several seconds of the bloody, twitching donor arm on a medical table.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Twogether (1992)
I actually felt that his family relationships were kind of honest and touching, even though they saw their dad unraveling. Perhaps one of the highlights of the film.
