FILM 1135: SNAKE EYES
TRIVIA: The role of Commander Kevin
Dunne was originally written for and offered to 'Will Smith'.
The original ending, which was a
massive special effects sequence created by Industrial Light and Magic,
involved a huge tidal wave going through the casino. This ending was cut out in
post-production. Numerous references to it still remain in the final film: a
shot near the end of the film shows an ambulance driving down an ocean-side
road with a wave about to crash into it before the film cuts to another shot;
Nicholas Cage's character talks about almost drowning at the very end of the
film; references to a storm are made throughout the entire film, which were all
meant to build up to the action-packed climax that was cut out.
The ringside drunk says, "Here
come comes the pain," a line also spoken in another Brian De Palma film, Carlito's Way (1993).
