That fart was dubbed


If you watch and listen closely, you can detect the sound editing where the audio of the fart is dubbed in.

I noticed this one on my first watch, did anyone not notice it? probably not

Of course it is! So is the sound of the bottles clinking and cars starting. It's called filmmaking.

But even someone without a knowledge of filmmaking should be smart enough to figure out that most actors can't fart on cue, and if they can, the boom mic is unlikely to pick it up unless it's located right next to the ass.

These bastards!

Yes I know, but my point was that it was very noticeable that a pre-recorded fart was spliced onto the soundtrack










Right, then, old chap. Large brandies all around, what?

Of course the fart was dubbed. I don't think Mrs. Dunaway would otherwise step so easily in the ground zero zone created by Rourke as can be seen in the film now.
