One of the hardest things that producers had to do was finding people who could tell them how to cheat in a casino.For the movie, Sharon Stone motivated her on-screen daughter Erika Von Tagen (Amy) to constantly annoy James Woods (Lester).However, the MPAA didn’t want the scene cut anyway, so it was only slightly edited and kept in the final cut. When it came to the film’s “head in a vice” scene, Scorsese stated he only added that scene so the MPAA would consider the other violent scenes less graphic in comparison and would only cut that one out.

The rest, the duo came up with on their own. Director Martin Scorsese only told them where to begin and where to finish.

De Niro and Joe Pesci (Nicky) improvised most of their on-screen conversations.

Both were allowed to keep all of their outfits after filming ended. Sharon Stone (Ginger) had about forty different outfits for the film, and Robert De Niro (Sam) had seventy.

1,000,000 dollars went to the film’s costume budget.

So, I wanted to dedicate this post to my favorite Martin Scorsese film! Enjoy! When I first saw this film, I became so obsessed with it that I would just watch it over and over again. Welcome back to Behind The Scenes Saturday! I can’t tell you how much I love Casino.
