the r-rated deleted scene

This is our lovely Production Assistant helping us out with a special effects test in the car park outside K Stage by the skip. It might look like we're just monkeying around with strap-on cocks, but it was actually a test for a scene that we ended up cutting from the film.

As Sam’s clone body starts falling apart, we were originally going to make more of this and there was a scene in the original shooting script where we saw him have a pee and some blood comes out. We actually shot this but it ended up not really working; the camera was above and behind Sam and his pee flow was supposed to turn to a deep red blood colour, causing him to freak out a bit and generally re-inforce the whole concept of him dying with some internal bleeding. Everybody likes a bit of internal bleeding.

In the run-up to shooting we weren't exactly clear on how we were going to do this as we had so much to deal with it seemed pretty low-priority until it suddenly rushed up from over the horizon towards our faces. Then, one afternoon, Duncan was digging around on the Internet and he found the Whizzinator. It's a device sold by a US company and is intended to be used to defeat drug tests, the idea being you can literally pull your old chap out and pee right in front of somebody, no further questions asked. It's essentially a strap-on with a hollow pipe running through it that attaches to a pair of pants with a bag for pee and a tap to kick everything off. It even comes with some dried urine in powder form. Isn't technology wonderful?

So we got some make-up on it to bring it to life a bit and hooked up a couple of bags so we could run some fake pee through it and switch to blood by flicking a tap. It didn't really look all that great when we filmed it as the blood was pretty diluted and so you couldn't really see much of a change.

Lunar Industries hope you enjoy your space-penis.
