Village of the Giants

Vicki London was originally cast in the lead female role, but it was given to Joy Harmon after London refused to show her boobs to the director. She said in an interview "During the wardrobe fittings, Bert Gordon wanted us [Joy Harmon, Tisha Sterling, Gail Gilmore] to take off our shirts and show him our breasts, because he wanted the girl with the biggest ones to play the lead and be featured in the movie poster. I refused and Tisha did too. They still gave Tisha a very nice part but it was down hill after this for me. They made an issue out of me not willing to show my breasts, so they threatened that if I didn't do it they were going to cut me out of everything and they did." Gail Gilmore remembered this incident and said, "They wanted us to show us popping out of our clothes and asked if we minded being nude for it during filming though we would cover our breasts with our arms. I never had any qualms with nudity so I readily said yes. Joy did too, but Vicki refused." Joy Harmon said that while she would never agree to being nude onscreen in a movie, she had no problem being nude on set for any role that called for it as long as the camera didn't see anything. She wasn't shy so it didn't bother her if actors or production crew saw her body. So when Gordon asked to see her breasts, it made sense why he was doing it and she wanted the bigger role, so she took off her top and let him look at her topless.

The size of the giants is not consistent throughout the film, along with some of the miniature props they handle.
