In one scene, Stone's vulva was filmed as she crossed her legs. Stone later said she believed the character's not wearing underwear would only be alluded to and not shown. She said she had been wearing white knickers until Verhoeven said they reflected light on the camera lens and asked her to take them off, assuring her that only shadow would be visible. Stone said that it was not until she saw the film in a screening room with a test audience that she became aware of it, leading her to slap Verhoeven in the face and leave the screening. However, Verhoeven denied her claim, and said she was fully aware in advance that her vulva would be filmed.
