In an interview with The Ringer, Verhoeven mused on the three-breasted intercourse employee and his authentic plans for her, explaining that he had as soon as supposed for her to have 4 breasts based mostly on one thing he had as soon as seen in a medical textbook:
“I know that some girls had, for example, not two nipples, however they’ve 4 nipples. Like a canine, no matter. That is what they’ve. They exist, principally, and I’ve seen the medical photographs once I was at college. And I knew that. I needed 4 nipples and breasts, with massive breasts and smaller breasts beneath. And (particular results artist) Rob Bottin, I believe, felt that it was too practical for the movie. And principally that three breasts could be extra, for example, within the model of the entire film.”
The three-breasted design is certainly extra in-line with the remainder of the movie, which has a reasonably cartoonish tone, than the extra practical 4 breasts would have been. It might need been attention-grabbing to go even larger with it, with entire rows of nipples like a cat or canine has, however that may have been quite a lot of prosthetic work. Because the crew already needed to create a bunch of different mutants, together with the animatronic Kuato character who grows out of one other individual’s stomach, possibly the triple-threat chest set was the perfect resolution. Even Verhoeven conceded within the interview that Bottin was proper, cementing the three-tittied woman in sci-fi film historical past.
