 For the "vomit" scene the director wanted absolute realism, so  Iris Palmer (qv) had to drink a concoction of blended spaghetti  bolognaise, milk and food coloring, then chase it with a mug of hot  water, salt and lemon juice, inducing projectile vomiting. Watching  the scene, a member of the Premiere screening fainted and had to be  dragged to the bathroom to be revived. Also at the Premiere an  audience member ran out crying and screaming when a very bloody  scene came on.
