Michael sued Kathleen to get this made!
Just come back from "An Evening with Michael Douglas" where Michael took the stage in London to discuss his films. Interestingly he explained Kathleen Turner had been reluctant to return for the sequel ("Jewel of the Nile") and he had to take litigation against her! So this souring in their relationship didn't help the making of the sequel and he admitted it might be partly why the sequel didn't quite capture the magic of the first film. Obviously they patched things up to make "War of the Roses" several years later.
