Movie (1992)

Basic Instinct is an erotic thriller from 1992 about a sex-crazed murderer and a police officer who’s getting a little too personal with one of the suspects in a murder. As tensions boil Sharon Stone, who plays the main suspect and an author, gives a powerful and sleek performance of a woman who knows her looks can get her off the hook and help her write and finish her book.

SPOILER: According to director Paul Verhoeven, the woman in the opening scene was Sharon Stone and not a body double.
According to the original screenplay, the character of Gus was supposed to be 64.
Movie Goof (continuity error): Nick's jacket while interviewing Catherine.
Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: When Nick arrives at his apartment after Nilsen is killed and Catherine is waiting for him. They go upstairs and have drinks. Nick starts chopping the ice into a few chunks then Catherine destroys the entire block of ice. Now the ice in their "Rocks" glasses are quite large until Catherine walks across the room and the ice is all gone (ice doesn't melt that fast, even if the bourbon was heated). Plus the liquid in the glasses got much darker, this would never happen because the water would have lighten the liquid in the glass, not darken it.
