| The lead pipe that Clu Gulager uses in the movie is actually made of rubber. He initially used a real pipe but the crew snuck it away from him and replaced it with a rubber one as Dan O'Bannon was worried about Clu's frequent angry and sometimes violent outbursts. |

practical effects get more out of the actors I think, they have something to interact with |

I have nothing against CGI but not everything needs to to be. If a practical effect can be used then I'd opt for it. |
