Child's Play 3 (1991)
I was an extra in C.P. 3
In 1991 I was an unfortunate attendee of a crap military school, the now defunct Kemper Military School, in Boonville, Missouri. Somehow I managed to have good enough grades to be included in the extras cast, and I am prominently visible in 3 scenes.
Wow, did this movie suck, buy what else did you expect? It was, to say the least, a bizarre experience. To have all of these L.A. types dropped into the middle of B.F.E.
We had quite a few laughs at their expense, for some reason a large number of the crew bought fur caps (why?!?!) in Columbia and wore them during the filming, which was in the winter. We identified them as such, "Brown Fox Man", "Field Mouse Man", "Roadkill Beaver Man", etc. Considering the absolute hell-hole conditions we had endured at this school, this all came as some desperately needed comic relief.
The best part, the catering. I had lost roughly 15 lbs during the school year, and when they let the extras eat with the crew, we were overjoyed, I mean I can still taste the steak kabobs!
I haven't really been in touch with anyone from the school since I left after that one horrible year, which makes viewing the movie now all the more surreal, like a bad dream from a previous life. Not that I've seen it recently, I wouldn't spend my money on this piece of s#*t.
One note, I met the author, a Mr. Mancini, and I have to say he was a cool dude. Cheers all, but if any of you out there reading this were students there with me, go to hell.
