And, from what I have seen in "Making of" and read about that scene and movie, that was almost a 1 take scene.
What is really a lot of fun is to watch it with the commentary with Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette turned on. They had not seen the movine in quite some time, and their comments whilke watching it once again are a blast.
Hopefully those who have not seen it have gone out of their way to get the uncut director's version, not the one that they rent at Blockbuster. Just a couple of sceens are different, but they make a huge difference!
