MemberNoobOct-19-2014 1:49 PMTetris, there is a photo-legend added to my previous posting. The white horse in the pool (21) is from the film The Day of the Locust (1975). Someone joked on the set that all the pool needed was a dead horse, and so the Set Director tossed one in for good measure (of course it's not real). And the model in the fashion photo-strip (25) is Barbara Leigh, photographed by Helmut Newton.
The interior of the Ennis House wasn't available for BR, and so they came-up with an apartment set incorporating it's block pattern (using a casting). Ridley would return to shoot the interior space for Black Rain (1989). When It became cost-prohibitive to continue shooting in Japan; Ridley moved the production to Los Angeles. And he ended-up using a couple of unseen areas from BR locations to finish the picture.
