There’s really nothing to indicate that they did. One can only hope that the makers of Skyscraper realized they had a comedy on their hands. I figured Anna was going to get to adopt the boy, since she wants a baby so bad and “believes in Sunday walks in the park and little babies.” Of course, at the end, we find out mom is really ok. That is, until the climax when he is back to riding around the offices, apparently never noticing the corpse of his mother lying on the floor, and arriving just in time to be captured by the baddies for the final standoff. Later, Anna hides with the boy under a desk and then, poof, he disappears from the story.
One of the terrorists ends up gunning down his mother from behind seeing her blonde hair and thinking it’s Anna. He rides around the offices on a Big Wheel like Danny in The Shining. One of the most bizarre elements of the film involves a young boy (played by Smith’s own son Daniel) who is in the building while his mother works. Show her shooting some beer bottles…perfect training for shooting terrorists, right? Oh, and while were at it she and Gordy can have sex on a picnic blanket. It is supposedly there to explain Carrie’s prowess using guns. Still, I don’t know that there has ever been a bigger case of gratuitous nudity than this movie’s flashback scene. They were more concerned with giving her chances to get her clothes off.
Obviously, a coherent performance from the leading lady didn’t make the list of priorities for the makers of this film. In some sequences of the finished product, we hear her character’s lines coming from off-screen, presumably so they could be read from the page and not done from memory…struggling to make the long neural journey from brain to mouth. Add to it Anna Nicole Smith’s complete inability to act, and you’ve got unintentional comic gold! There is a famous YouTube video of outtakes from this film showing Anna struggling with the simplest of dialogue. The script is so awful it will literally kill brain cells. You don’t need me to tell you that Skyscraper is inconceivably bad! It is the most blatant and shameless of the Die Hard rip offs. Eventually Gordy does show up at the building to help take down the terrorists, but it is Carrie who proves to be the one you don’t want to mess with. We know this from a flashback scene showing us an early date with Gordon where she shows her skill for shooting bottles for about five seconds, and then shows her skill for falling out of her dress for about 5 minutes. After all, Carrie has experience with guns. She then stashes the item in a janitor’s cart and sets out to stop the bad guys and save the office workers taken hostage. The owner of the component (Eugene Robert Glazer), struggling after being shot by Fairfax, manages to dump the device on, you guessed it, Carrie. Swiping the last item doesn’t go as smoothly as planned, however. What it is and what it does are never really made clear, but it will supposedly “shift the balance of power in the world.” Little does Carrie know that she has been hired to transport the crooks to the location of the final component. Huber), and his team of goons, are raiding various offices stealing the components of some sort of electronic device. Meanwhile, a criminal called Fairfax (Charles M. Both of their jobs seem to allow them enough flexibility to sneak away and meet up for showering, lovemaking, and arguing about how Carrie wants a baby. Her hubby Gordon (Richard Steinmetz) is an LAPD detective.
Smith plays Carrie Wink, a pilot for a heli-taxi service in Los Angeles. I imagine its pitch meeting may have included the words, “It’s Die Hard with boobs.” Brace yourselves for Anna Nicole Smith in 1996’s Skyscraper.
#ANNA NICOLE SMITH SKYSCRAPER OUTTAKES MOVIE#
I can imagine the pitch meetings for some of these: Passenger 57…it’s Die Hard on a plane, Under Siege… Die Hard on a boat, Under Siege 2… Die Hard on a train, Sudden Death… Die Hard in a hockey arena! Our movie today actually keeps the high-rise location of Die Hard but has a very different take on the lead character. After the success of the original Die Hard there came a flood of similarly themed movies.
