 According to director Lindsay Shonteff (qv) in a 1994 interview,  Klaus Kinski (qv) had numerous ideas for unusual behavior  exhibited by his character President Boong, including that whenever  someone entered a room where he was he would climb out from  underneath a huge pile of cushions and that whenever he was talking  to a pretty girl an abnormally long tongue would emerge from his  mouth and try to lick her face. Sadly none of these made the final  cut, but if you watch carefully you can see his tongue starting to  come out in some scenes.
