 SPOILER: Realizing that the film was running behind schedule and  over budget, director Paul Verhoeven (I) (qv) and producer  Jon Davison (qv) purposely didnt film one crucial scene: Officer  Murphys death. When production wrapped, they went back to Los  Angeles and grimly informed the execs that Murphys death hadnt  been filmed. So the execs gave them more money and they filmed the  scene in a warehouse in Los Angeles.
