WTF Happened to Basic Instinct?

- The late 80s and early 90s were the hey-day of the erotic thriller, a genre that has been all but extinguished from the multiplexes today. Back then, you’d see tough guys matching wits with femme fatales, steamy love scenes, car chases and bloody violence, usually performed by A-listers and top-tier directors. What a time to be alive! If the king of the genre is “Fatal Attraction,” the naughty queen would have to be “Basic Instinct,” Paul Verhoeven’s scandalous, controversial, very expensive thriller about a damaged cop pursuing a cunning mystery novel who also just might be an ice-cold killer.
The film was a headline-maker from its very announcement, with tons of money being thrown at a movie that would later be accused of being homophobic, misogynist, and just plain overhyped. Whatever your opinion on it, you can’t deny that it made an impression in ways modern movies don’t often do, so stab some ice and put it in a glass with your favorite poison, because we’re going to tell you WTF Happened to Basic Instinct.

once you look past the naked skin here and there, you will discover a great thriller - one that ONLY Verhoeven could have made, he's one of the best directors ever.
I'm sorry, Sharon Stone, wtf would you wanna look past her naked skin?. She's smoking HOT
Agreed. This movie rocked. The naked skin helped it too though.
One cannot simply "look past" Sharon Stone in her prime tho...
Agreed 💯
So happy he didn't cave in to the heavens gate cult.
This movie came out in the 90s, the era of the VHS 📼. That along combined with DVDS 📀; polls have shown that the infamous leg scene is the most pause movie moment
Dvds came out 5 years later, so, dunno about that
☝️☝️This☝️☝️
@@Lordmij ☝️☝️Also This 😋☝️☝️
I never looked at an Ice Breaker the same ever again 😂😂😂😂😂
I was about 12 when me and my dad went to see Basic Instinct when it came out because we thought it was going to be some kind of jungle-survival thriller. My dad gave me money to go to the arcade after the first scene and I was scared of girls for about a week.
lol....yeaaaah
But your dad stayed too watch it? My man 😂
😂😂
Cool story, bro!
I mean, it was about a notorious man-eater, albeit in the urban jungle, so technically, he wasn't all wrong.
Responsible for more sprained wrists than all the world's arcade machines combined.
Lol
And Joysticks.
I saw another Paul V, interview where he freely joked about how because Sharon Stone refused to go topless in the love scene with Arnold in Total Recall he "got her back" in Basic Instinct with the crotch shot. Notwithstanding that, he's a legendary director.
VHS tapes never paused very well.
It's actually a pretty good thriller with a lot of references to the works of Alfred Hitchcock, definitely pushed the limits of cinema at the time in terms of some of the violence and sexually explicit content. Special mention must go to the brilliant score by Jerry Goldsmith. It's a good piece of work by Paul Verhoeven but I don't think it's as strong as Total Recall or Robocop which are my favourites by him
Its based on vertigo!
@@heyayup. Not really. Meaning it was set in SF? There’s no real violence in Vertigo.
@@paulvoorhies8821 I guess I should say inspired by. Retired cop that becomes obsessed with a mysterious icy blonde in San Francisco, the blonde vs brunette females in his life, the stalking, the film noir vibe. The icy blonde (Kim Novak) put her hair up and wears white just like Sharon Stone did.
@@heyayup I can see some similarities. Cop falling for the wrong woman…..
@@paulvoorhies8821 Yes, both are such great movies!
Fucking GREAT movie, fucking GREAT trailer, GREAT A list actors, this movie ages like a FINE wine. Paul V is a GENIUS!!!
I just watched this movie last night, and it came open to me, it's so nostalgic, because I'm a 90s guy born in that generation, literally! 📽💯
Wtf is wrong with you, literally?
@@ogami1972 Nothing apparently. What's wrong with you?
Please we need a WTF Happened to Fatal Attraction! Especially since a series is coming out soon. Not sure how I feel about that. However it's one of my favorite movies and I watch it at least once a year!
The series will end with the straight white male being the true villain.
Verhoeven is My favorite director. His touch of "fuck You society You are horrible" is unmatched
David Croenenberg: “Yeah, Hold my Canadian beer”
Atom Egoyan (he made Exotica, which didn’t have that many sex scenes in it) “Am I a joke to you?”
"Basic Instinct" was the most successful erotic
film which Paul Verhoeven has ever directed
since "The Fourth Man."
@stevendavies7644 He did "Black Book" very well too.
Cool!
Amazing movie. This film was such a huge hit with my buddies and I as kids. Showtime and Cinemax made our youth very exciting.
Both BET and Sundance also made Basic Instinct - our youth very exciting from Fall 1999-present too!
This movie trail blazed Femme Fatale movies especially in the late 80’s and throughout the 1990’s 😊😊
Fatal Attraction kicked it off in 87.
That Simpsons clip made me burst out laughing
I still can’t believe how iconic the leg scene has become.
I still have that image stuck somewhere in my brain. I can already see the puss lips . I was 13 year old when i saw it.
I've heard its the most paused scene in the history of cinema.
@Αλέξανδρος Δημητροπουλος
Yes, and it is worth it. She has perfect puss
Luke Daley, i know! If only today's movies could such iconic movie moments like that, that will live on forever!
@@user-ri6pg2vn1u yeah, I know.
Michael Douglas was the king of erotic thriller for a while
He sure was.
Followed by Dave Caruso as the Court Jester 🤣🤣
Say What?@@sawtooth808
It's a brilliant movie. Most of Paul Verhoeven's films are.
I cannot image what it would look like if it went to Miloš Forman.
Maybe.
Considering Sharon had already done nude scenes in previous films (Action Jackson comes to mind) I find it odd that a judge would suddenly feel that she wasn't fit to be a good mother after 2 seconds of showing her bush. There has to be more to the story.
It also calls into question why Sharon would agree to do Sliver with William Baldwin the following year if gratuitous nudity and sex scenes were central pillars during custody hearings. Oh well, it's still a classic.
Off the top of my head…. It’s been a million years…. It had to do with some hard partying/drugs…. Not just nudies….
Good movie
U gonna charge me with Smoking? I love that line. 😊😊😊😊😂😂😂😂😂
I can tell what killed the "Erotic Thriller",over production and William Defoe's "O"face in Body Of Evidence.
I don't considered watching Body of Evidence but I choose to watch Indecent Proposal, Sliver and Blink, those were my trio of
erotic thrillers.
@Steven Davies Sure was!
80's and 90's was when erotic thrillers was at it's peak this was one of them
Most of them always had somebody falling to their death….
@alejandromolinac Yup Hand the rocks the cradle Play misty for me
I was in high school when this movie came out. I actually didn't get to see it until a few years after its premier. The controversy surrounding this movie leading up to its release was strange to me at the time. If anything the controversy and attention only made the film more prolific, you had to check it out and see what all the fuss was about.
When I saw the film it was okay, it went down a direction I didn't think it would. Sharon Stone in her prime was just drop dead gorgeous. I wonder how the film would have done if it had not received the massive amount of attention. How it would have done on its own merits as a film and pulling people in.
Scandal sells, it worked for Marilyn Monroe, Madonna and many others, it had worked for Charlie Sheen too.
Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan became more popular when they were incarcerated even when it was a ridiculously shot amount of time.
Basic Instinct was a great Neo-Noir and felt like a contemporary take on the 1944 Billy Wilder Classic, Double Indemnity, which featured Barbara Stanwyck in the quintessential Femme Fatale role and Fred McMurray in the "Gullible Man(or maybe not)" role. If you like Basic Instinct or Fatal Attraction, you can't go wrong with Double Indemnity as it laid the foundation for the genre, and Barbara Stanwyck's role was definitely the precursor to the roles that Sharon Stone and Glenn Close would play.
It’s actually a loose remake of VERTIGO.
@@bruh_hahaha Right down to the San Francisco setting.
Superb video!
The sex scene between Michael and Sharon still excites me even now 31 years later.
Erotic thrillers...how I miss thee
One of the best erotic suspense thrillers of the 90s put Sharon Stone on the map.
Total Recall put Sharon Stone on the map, this film made her a certified star.
@@juliajones2318 that was her breakthrough movie.
I LOVE this movie!!!! I think it's amazing, & is a thrilling & entertaining watch!! I certainly remember all the controversy over it, particularly from that infamous muff shot. For years, that's all i knew the movie for, until i had the chance to actually sit down & watch it, ,& found it there was actually a really entertaining movie, underneath all the controversy.
Basic Instinct is great. I think it holds up well and nobody would do a movie like this now, a big-budget movie for adults.
All I remember about seeing this movie as a kid was Neumann sweating profusely while seeing Stone's clam. I jumped at the chance to go see that Stallone movie with her in theaters afterwards (The Specialist?) and was very disappointed. 😅
The most underrated film noir ever created. Everyone is top of their game. This is neo-noir at it's best. The dialogue and zingers are also up to snuff, as it were.
' So, he got off before he got off"d.'
Do check out movies like “The Last Seduction” and “Romeo is Bleeding” and “Lost Highway” for amazing examples of Noir
I had it on vhs when I was 12. My buddies would come by and say hey put that porno on lol
Great doc - thanks for posting
Paul Verhoeven is a funny guy. He made with Basic Instinct the best choregraphic sex scene but with Showgirls the worst. 😁🤣😁🤣
Would love to see you cover Blink with Madeline Stowe...omfg I watched that movie alot and wanted to have a blind musician fall in love with me because of that film lol
From 1978-present, Madeleine Stowe was the real-life queen of erotic projects. Such as Stakeout, Revenge, Closet Land, Another Stakeout,
Blink, The General's Daughter and the long running television series of the same name was Revenge on ABC for four successful seasons.
@Steven Davies Director Jonathan Demme's most talked about erotic chick flick of the year. A Sony Pictures Classics release. Released in March of 1994 with mixed reviews at its best.
The only thing this movie will be remembered for is Sharon Stones 'snatch shot'.
Also, when you consider how Michael Douglas got throat cancer and was treated for sex addiction you have to wonder how much was acting.
Basic Instinct is an unofficial, loose, sleazy and high dollar remake of Vertigo. Sharon Stone’s performance was one for the ages. Hitchcock would have loved her. ♥️🔪🍿
50 shades of grey ain't goy nothin om basic instinct
Before pornhub 😂, I used to watch these kind of movies as a teenager 🤷🏻♂️ What a time to be alive. I know I’m not alone here. I liked Sliver too.
Also, to think that Sharon Stone never experienced sexual harassment in spite of her movies is hard to believe but she’s said it herself.
Sharon Stone from late 80's to mid 90's was 🔥🔥🔥
I’m glad the movie did well and has fans, but I found it just alright. I think my problem was I could figure out the killer pretty early on
Catherine was.
Great movie I loved it, didn't know about the troubles behind the scenes.
"Stone lost custody of her son..."
Something young women proudly having OnlyFans channels clearly didn't learn anything from...
More to the story…. It was not just that…..
@@alejandromolinac I never said it was just that.
I liked Roxy she was hot .
Sexy, dangerous and crazy..... Always my favourite too
this video just reinforces that it is my favorite movie of all time and Verhoeven my favorite director.
This was better than Fatal Attraction. Glen Close was not hot enough for Michael Douglas.
I thought they both looked like a couple of middle aged professionals …..
Not hot enough period lol
Close looks like she would be more fun. Sharon is hot but she seems like that hot chick that would be like a dead fish.
POW💥🔫 Arnold Accent: “Consider that a divorce” 😂
It’s still around. I watched it on a DVD I own last year.
" but you know she ain't not Sharon stone 🤲🏼🤲🏼 "
You should do a vid on 'A Simple Plan'. I just re-watched it and its pretty great. Directed by Raimi and has a stellar cast. Maybe not Fargo level, but its close that's for sure. 👍
Sharon reminds me of my aunt. Her character reminds me of my ex. She only had one pair of underwear. But I don't think I ever saw her in skirts. I was having a little bit of a love triangle so the movie hit a little close to home. The scene between Michael Douglas and Jeanne tripplehorn is really good
How was it "HomoPhobic?"
I'm not really sure because Tramell was bisexual. When I saw the film years later I wondered what all that part of the fuss was about. The only "shock" was the legs crossing scene.
Cause somebody from “the community” was the killer….. you’d had flicks like Cruising…. Dressed to Kill etc….
Fruitcakes always look for something.
@@alejandromolinac I don't like the kind of
flicks in today's community such as Cruising, Revenge and Lolita but the ones I like the best were Dressed to Kill, Body Heat, Body Double, Fatal Attraction, Blind Date, The Unbearable Lightness of Being,
Henry & June, Basic Instinct, True Romance
and Eyes Wide Shut.
Please do a WTF happened for Joe Eszterhas. His autobiography is worth reading, maybe not believing.
We owe a thanks to digital cameras for this indie film. There was a nice little boom of indie films in the early 2000's thanks to cheap digital filmaking. I love that DV tape progressive scan look. Just like 28 Days Later. Get a PS2, a Sony Trinitron Flat Screen CRT, and 28 Days on DVD, and revel in those scanlines.
I remember being senior in high school when Basic Instinct was released into theaters. My friends and I saw it opening night and were blown away by its frankness and style. The cross & uncrossing of Stone's legs got a literal gasp-! from the packed crowd. Then we all laughed somewhat nervously. It was a great movie, from Ezterhas' script to Verhoven's direction. The only problem is the very end. The last shot. They should have done without it.
All that said, studios today would quickly cave in if met with the protests that this film had to endure. Also, Ezterhas' career would face a nose dive immediately after his next film, Showgirls. Too bad, he was a wonderful screenwriter. His Foreplay (unproduced) script is one of my favorites. His book Hollywood Animal is also one of the greatest tell-alls on the Hollywood system I ever read. What can I say, I am I huge fan of his.
Two Verhoeven films are on my better half's Top Ten list: _Flesh+Blood_ and _Basic Instinct._ Both feature women unapologetically using their sexuality to manipulate others into giving them what they want.
I'm smart (or malleable?) enough to go along. I've never had a complaint, 35+ years and I still wake up both alive and unreplaced.
Decent review, but I'm surprised the rough sex scene between Jeanne Tripplehorn and Michael Douglas wasn't mentioned. It was more extreme than any Hollywood offering I can think of, and it did not go over well with SA groups in my part of California. It did spur (and continues to provoke) debate about consensual acts.
can you do wtf happened to mars needs moms?
Basic Instinct is a classic. One of the sexiest movies ever made. Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone had great chemistry.
i just love this movie ,the thrills the mestry the liting the suondtrak the s.. just a classic
13:34 this was the original Seinfeld scene with Newman doing the Post Office interrogation about the broken stereo. But it was cut. Jerry wanted to play himself.
Sharon Stone is one of the most beautiful women ever walked the earth.
Yes! And Kim Catrall was beautiful too !!
No fucking doubt
Well she was.
When was it determined that Catherine is a killer? That’s not anywhere in the film that I recall.
last scene, one second before the credits roll.
@@cchanc3 Thats open to interpretation, not conclusive.
@@SumDumGy there's dna evidence, fingerprint evidence, videotape evidence, and movie evidence. this is a f*cking movie.
@@cchanc3 What they've found were a lot of solutions. Nick was being discharged for good. Catherine knows what she did a whole lot
of crazy things were wrong and that's why Nick is here to see if Catherine calms down and all, he gave her a second chance. And from there, when I saw Basic Instinct on Sundance in 2000, I was so excited at the end of the movie and said, "Thank You, Lord. It's Over."
She was, director said so in interviews way later
Sharon killed it in basic instinct! She was perfect for the role
I wanna see WTF happened with Body Chemistry, Fatal Attraction, Kill Bill and any movie from Tarantino.
So was Sharon Stone's character the real killer? 🤔
yes. at the least it was very heavily implied in the last scene.
Pretty much every character is a killer in this film, tripplehorn, stone, douglas, roxi - everyone with more than 5 lines
Good old Madonna must have liked “Basic Instinct” because the next year she came out with “Body of Evidence”. Yeeeeaaah, that um, didn’t quite hit. I guess no one wanted to see her and Willem Dafoe doing things with candles. Yuck!
Such a weird movie
Body of Evidence is so unintentionally hilarious…. Specially considering how serious it takes itself….
@@alejandromolinac I have to admit I never watched it. But the trailer shows how Madonna just doesn’t have what Sharon Stone had. The ability to act and be effortlessly sexy.
@@JoBloOriginals It's such a fun movie
in a weird way, you know?
@@JoBloOriginals Maybe one to do a video on?
Basic Instinct is never ever forgotten, Thanks to Sharon Stone !
A cunning novelist that may also have been known as a cunning linguist too????😂😂😂😂😅
Come again?
Charlize Theron should do a modern remake.
If Lionsgate says "yes."
@Steven Davies Sorry, I am from a proper generation born in the mid 70's. In my 20's during the 1990's. Forgive me, what does "woke" mean?
Too old
@@Stephen-OldBadGamer mentally challenged
Next do WTF to monkeybone
👍👍👍🎥
Sad to man this days 😔 2023
who shot mr. burns spoofed basic Instinct so well.
i saw this in glorious LaserDisc.
This movie was ridiculous and beautifully fun. I loved it and never took it seriously. It was a oure blast across the board!
Have you WtF'd the movie Sliver? Another Stone 90's classic with a killer soundtrack. Highly recommended!
Hitch would have killed to have Sharon Stone in his movies
Hitch would have killed to have made a film as explicit as Basic Instinct.
@@davidjames579 oh ol perv hitch would have loved that but also had a heart attack
Boxofficemojo says Basic Instinct's worldwide box office is $352,927,224. "...almost $400 million" is correct, and is, yes, the correct rounded up number, but it's borderline "a bit of a stretch". Please excuse my nitpick, it's the oc in me.
Well consider their are countries that released but didn’t report 😅
Basic Instinct was a co-production of Carolco/Le Studio Canal Plus and Silver Pictures & distributed by Columbia Pictures on Friday,
June 12, 1992. It made a lot of money at the box office. It was so good more fans were dying to see the number one blockbuster in
the USA and around the world that simply break all the rules. It did very successful & profitable than most other movies than bombed at the box office such as Paramount's Whispers in the Dark and New Line/Castle Rock/Morgan Creek's White Sands & The Getaway.
I'm a big fan of "thrillers" and Basic Instinct is one that i can watch time and time again. I think it's held up extremely well. Sharon Stone is of course remembered for the interrogation scene, but she played her role in this better than anyone else could have. She was almost born for that role and Douglas was perfect for his as well. Never knew about the "Homophobic" protesting, but good on Verhoeven for not giving in to the "gay community".
put history in your title
So who was the killer? Her legs of course!
I thought Robert Stack played Mrs. Esterhouse?
@@markelijio6012 You dont get the reference.......:) Caddyshack 2...........
@@KenAdams426 Oh, I'm sorry please forgive me, Ken.
The naming of your videos confuses me. Are you saying that since the movie came out, something happened TO the film, or was there something wrong WITH the film in the first place? It's the 'to' in the title that confuses me.
All you need to know is that people are likely to click on a video called "WTF happened to ?"
Someone should make a movie about this movie's production
It's a great thriller another great movie hitchcock never made but verhoeven is amazing
I know lowbrow joke about dinosaurs and basic extinct :)
Go on......
I got to hand 👋🏻 it to the makers of this film
Only Paul Verhoeven could make this thriller work with his unique vision. Yea it’s incredibly gratuitous in the content, but that’s essentially the point. And you can’t not love the eerie Jerry Goldsmith score that accompanies the steamy scenes and it’s murder scenes
Even the eerie score which earned Golden Globe, Grammy and Oscar nominations for the blockbuster - Basic Instinct that give
one of Jerry Goldsmith's best scores in his long career as a music composer and conductor. But that's the way it goes,
all thanks to Emmylou Harris, legendary Grammy winning singer and songwriter at Time Warner (1975-present).
With all due respect to Sharon Stone, I find it ironic that she had no issues with appearing nude in multiple scenes with private parts being licked by Michael Douglas in a movie, but crossing her legs became a problem for her. I'm siding with the director on this.
A sex scene is a scene where people are engaging in sex. In that scene, several random men gawk at a woman's bare pussy. I find it ironic you watch movies but don't understand the difference between acting and real life.
she lies a lot. 😁
@@bruh_hahaha How would you know? Have you met her?
We don’t really get to tell people what should or should not make them comfortable about their body. Weird how Hollywood rarely shows male parts from the front and when they do, they use a prosthetic.
@@ladya3302 with all due respect, we don't see a bunch of nude guys is dongs and balls are not aesthetically pleasing. I'm sure it's discrimination as well, but it's not a discrimination anyone really wants to end. I don't want to see a big set of hairy balls on the imax screen, and I hope you agree.
Does anyone know why there's a Martial Arts Class going on in the building across from Nick and Beth having sex? Always wondered why they went to the planning and expense of putting that in the movie. It's so WTF.
It's crazy how even Sharon Stone was unaware that the infamous "leg" shot wouldn't be pixelated, and even she was taken aback by the shot. Nowadays, that could justify a huge lawsuit.
That has to he a rumor that was spread around, a strange kind of marketing.
Lol of course she was aware and of course she would claim she wasn’t afterwards.
She seems so shy....
Firstly, she knew! Secondly, if you had the movie on VHS (which is most people) then it was pixelated! LOL
Then again if you watched it on early 90’s cable picture quality…. It wasn’t that “graphic”
15 mil… THEN along came Jim Carrey and his 20 mil a few years later
Then Douglas started demanding 20 Million. Lol
As a teen I think I wore the pause button out on this movie.
The plot wasn't that hard to follow.
My parents had this movie on VHS when I was like 12. It was basically my first porn. The tape was worn out in one section due to endless reviews
When Basic Instinct became available on pay per view, I basically spent each an every half hour to see the opening scene as many times I could. The first five minutes of each movie for each showtime were shown for free before getting blocked.
@@fromthehaven94 I saw the Oscar nominated hit film for the first time on the Sundance Channel in late 1999 and early 2000.
Should have made a master copy 😂
Well I got two master copies or more on tape, as you can see.
Let's not forget there's a scene where Michael Douglas rapes the psychologist, Dr Beth
Super hot
Shags her up the ass.
Jeanne Tripplehorn plays Beth. She's so sexy and hot in Basic Instinct!
There is only 1 thing anyone cares about with this movie.
And thats ok with me.
If you have ever read Joe Eszterhas’ autobiography, he claims Sharon Stone “thanked” him in a very special way for making her a star, and also hinted that it was not all that remarkable.
I had such a girl crush on her
Even the Gay community got it wrong. And I'm Gay.from the bay area at the time. If the gay community were going to protest,It should of been the disrespect the two characters had for her lover. They were clueless about what they should have been protesting. There's evil people in all cultures & sexes. No one's argument was right.
That's what I hear about in the media. At least no one's argument was right. Six years later after the success of Basic Instinct,"
several syndicated shows such as "Jenny Jones," "Sally," "Leeza," "Jerry Springer," "Ricki Lake," "Shirley" and "The Other Side" as
well as numerous news programs: "CBS News This Morning," NBC News' "The Today Show" and ABC News' "Good Morning
America" was doing something about it in 1997. But everybody has their own opinions to say and express how they feel. People
like Bruce Davison, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia DeRossi, Holland Taylor, Sarah Paulson and more.
Sharon Stone in remake of Gloria was good. Thanks for this video, I have never seen this movie.
I don't like remakes, but choosing classics like 1980's "Gloria" which earned Gena Rowlands a 1981 Oscar nomination for her stunning performance.
