You know that the police-station scene was shot in our office suite, right? Well, we didn't rent the entire suite, just one of the five offices. Only for a couple of months did we share the suite with someone else who rented an office. This dude was the building's security guard, and the nasty little bastard lived in his office the whole time. No shit! He didn't have another place to live! We used one of the offices for the climax of RAVAGE, too: the room where Samuel kills Lydia. Bear with me... The security guard was too lazy to walk to the other end of the building to use the bathroom, so he had his own private little paint-can potty in the empty corner office that he kept hidden on a low shelf. Well we smelled the piss for a few days, each day it got worse til I found the gallon paint can half full of nasty, stinky, foul brown piss! The moment I realized what the fuck I had in my hands was probably the most disgusting moment of my entire life. But I can laugh about it now. The piss was gone by the time we shot Dina Harris' scene in there, but the stench remained despite opening windows. That office used to be a soundproof radio station control room, so the carpeted walls retained odors. Dina asked what that smell was and almost puked when I told her the story!

Ronnie wanted a scene of me shooting fireballs at the punks car in front of me , so they put me in front of the car facing it and wearing a heavy hooded robe and gloves. I had my hands up and Ronnie strung fishing line from the bridge behind me to the cars windshield, with the lines running between my hands. The idea was to light some heavy bottle rockets with cloth balls diped in homemade napalm duct taped to them. and edit the take from the frame they passed my hands. Well nobody in Borderline is a rocket scientest and therefore the fact that the line would "sway" wasnt thought of. The rockets swayed on the line and hit my shoulders on the way to the car. I didnt realize the danger untill after the take I hear......."and....cut!.........somebody put Dan out, he's on fire"
