One Adam Sandler scene caused serious problems.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While much of the plot of Adam Sandler's breakout hit Billy Madison remains implausible and unrealistic, one scene in the comedian's movie caused some serious real problems behind the scenes. Adam Sandler has been in the industry for decades now, long enough so that certain on-set protocols followed today may not have been followed so stringently during the filming of some of his earlier movies.
Realism in acting, or playing a role authentically so that the performance can not be distinguished from real life, is nothing new to cinema. However, Sandler took the realistic acting approach to a whole other level during certain Billy Madison scenes when he was supposed to be attending elementary school. Parents were furious that someone much bigger and stronger than their children were putting them in a position where their kids could potentially be injured.
Billy Madison's Dodgeball Scene Genuinely Hurt Some Kids The parents of the child actors in Billy Madison's dodgeball scene did not realize that when Billy shouts, "Now you're all in big, big trouble!" on the playground, it was, in fact, true. According to Sandler in an interview with Conan O'Brien, the actor did not take it easy on the small children in the dodgeball scene and hit several of them quite hard while the cameras were rolling.
Sandler further revealed that he hit some of the children so hard, they began to cry. At that point, the enraged parents argued nothing was being done to protect their children during the scene, and they forced the shooting of the movie to stop. Sandler tried to assuage the parents by persuading them it was all part of the act, explaining, "I'm like a big guy who went back to school, I peg all these kids, it's part of the joke.
Why The Billy Madison Scene Works – Despite The Controversy Despite the controversy that surrounded the scene where Sandler hits the kids, there were apparently no long-term injuries and the producers of the movie decided to leave those moments in the final version of the film.
