'''''Basic Instinct''''' is a 1992 [[neo-noir]]<ref>[[Alain Silver|Silver, Alain]]; Ward, Elizabeth; eds. (1992). ''Film Noir: An Encyclopedic Reference to the American Style'' (3rd ed.). Woodstock, New York: [[The Overlook Press]]. {{ISBN|0-87951-479-5}}</ref> [[Erotic thriller|erotic thriller film]] directed by [[Paul Verhoeven]] and written by [[Joe Eszterhas]]. Starring [[Michael Douglas]], [[Sharon Stone]], [[George Dzundza]], [[Jeanne Tripplehorn]], and [[Wayne Knight]], the film follows [[San Francisco Police Department|San Francisco]] police detective Nick Curran (Douglas) as he investigates the brutal murder of a wealthy rock star. During the course of the investigation, Curran becomes entangled in a passionate and intense relationship with [[Catherine Tramell]] (Stone), an enigmatic writer and the prime suspect.

The script for ''Basic Instinct'' was developed by Eszterhas in the 1980s, and it became the subject of a bidding war. [[Carolco Pictures]] secured the rights to the film and brought Verhoeven on board to direct. Stone was cast as Tramell after the role was rejected by several actresses. Production was plagued by protests and intense conflict between Eszterhas and Verhoeven.

''Basic Instinct'' premiered in Los Angeles on March 18, 1992, and was theatrically released in the United States by [[TriStar Pictures]] on March 20, 1992.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url = https://catalog.afi.com/Film/59185-BASIC-INSTINCT?cxt=filmography|title = Basic Instinct|website = AFI Catalog of Feature Films|publisher = [[American Film Institute]]|access-date = July 28, 2019|archive-date = June 9, 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190609021521/https://catalog.afi.com/Film/59185-BASIC-INSTINCT?cxt=filmography|url-status = live}}</ref> The film received mixed reviews upon its release, with praise for the performances of the cast, score, and editing, while its writing and character development were criticized.

Since its release, ''Basic Instinct'' has undergone a critical reevaluation. The film has been recognized for its groundbreaking depictions of sexuality in [[Cinema of the United States|mainstream Hollywood cinema]], and was described by one scholar as "a neo-[[film noir]] masterpiece that plays with, and transgresses, the narrative rules of film noir."<ref>{{cite book|title=Feminist Film Studies: A Teacher's Guide|author=Murray, Terri|year=2008|publisher=Auteur}}</ref> Numerous versions of the film have been released on [[videocassette]], [[laserdisc]], [[DVD-Video|DVD]], and [[Blu-ray]], including a [[director's cut]] with extended footage previously unseen in North American cinemas.<ref>{{Citation|title=Basic Instinct (1992) - IMDb|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103772/alternateversions|access-date=October 8, 2020|archive-date=April 7, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170407040206/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103772/alternateversions|url-status=live}}</ref>

A sequel, ''[[Basic Instinct 2]]'', was released 14 years later in 2006. The film stars Stone, but was made without the involvement of Verhoeven or Douglas. It received negative reviews and was relatively unsuccessful.<ref>{{cite web|title=Moviefone Top 25 Box Office Bombs of All Time|publisher=Moviefone.com | access-date=September 5, 2008 |url=https://www.metacritic.com/movie/basic-instinct-2| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080723010419/http://www.moviefone.com/insidemovies/2007/11/15/biggest-box-office-bombs/ | archive-date=July 23, 2008 | url-status=dead | df=mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.rottentomatoes.com/guides/worst_of_the_worst/2/|title=Worst of the Worst 2009 - Dragonfly|publisher=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|date=March 16, 2010|access-date=November 22, 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100316051550/http://uk.rottentomatoes.com/guides/worst_of_the_worst/2/|archive-date=March 16, 2010}}</ref>

== Plot ==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be 400-700 words. -->
Homicide detective Nick Curran and his partner and best friend Gus Moran investigate the murder of retired rock star Johnny Boz in [[San Francisco]]. Boz was stabbed to death with an ice pick while having sex with a mysterious blonde woman. Nick's prime suspect is Boz's girlfriend, crime novelist Catherine Tramell, whose novel mirrors the crime. Catherine is uncooperative and taunts the investigators by smoking and exposing herself. Although she is released, Nick discovers that she has a history of befriending murderers. This includes Roxy Hardy, Catherine's girlfriend, who impulsively killed her two younger brothers at the age of 16, and Hazel Dobkins, who killed her husband and children.

Nick, who accidentally shot two tourists while high on [[cocaine]] during an undercover assignment, attends counseling sessions with Police Psychologist Dr. Beth Garner. The two have an on-and-off affair. Nick discovers that Catherine is using him as the basis for the protagonist of her latest book, in which his character is murdered after falling for the wrong woman. He becomes suspicious that she has bribed Lt. Marty Nilsen for his psychiatric file. In response, Nick assaults Nilsen in his office. Nilsen is found murdered, and Nick is suspected and placed on leave. Gus later uncovers evidence that Nilsen had been paid fifty thousand dollars three months earlier, before Nick had even met Catherine.

Nick and Catherine embark on a passionate but tense affair, much to Gus' chagrin given his suspicions about her. It starts one night when Nick sees Catherine snorting cocaine with Roxy at Boz's club. They return to Catherine's place and Roxy observes Nick and Catherine having rough sex, with Catherine tying Nick to the bed. This mirrors the way Boz was tied up by the mystery blonde. Jealous of Nick, Roxy tries to run him over with Catherine's car but dies when the vehicle crashes. Catherine is saddened by Roxy's death and confesses to Nick about a college encounter with a girl that ended badly as the girl became obsessed with her. Nick identifies that girl as Beth; Beth claims that it was Catherine who was obsessed. Catherine insists that the obsessive behavior came from Beth and even led her to file a report to the [[University of California police departments|Berkeley Campus Police]]; when Nick visits Berkeley, he finds out that Catherine's report was withdrawn by Nilsen a year earlier. Nick also learns that a college professor of Catherine and Beth's was killed with an ice pick in an unsolved homicide that inspired one of Catherine's early novels. He also discovers that Beth's former husband was mysteriously murdered five years earlier (this, too, had been investigated by Nilsen before), and that unconfirmed rumours at the time pointed to the involvement of Beth's unnamed lesbian lover. 

Nick discovers the final pages of Catherine's book, where the fictional detective finds his partner's body in an elevator. Catherine breaks off their affair, leaving Nick upset and suspicious. He meets Gus Moran, who has arranged to meet Catherine's college roommate in [[Oakland, California|Oakland]] to learn about Catherine and Beth. Gus is stabbed to death with an ice pick in the elevator and Nick finds Gus' body in a fashion similar to the description in the book. Beth arrives unexpectedly and claims that she received a message to meet Gus. Nick suspects Beth of killing Gus and shoots her when he believes she's reaching for a gun. However, Beth was only fiddling with her keychain.

Evidence implicates Beth in the murders of Boz, Nilsen, Moran, and her own husband. The investigators also find photos and newspaper clippings of Catherine that imply an obsession with her. Nick is left confused and dejected. Catherine meets him at his apartment and explains her reluctance to commit to him due to her loved ones dying. However, they have sex and discuss their future. As they do, an ice pick is seen under the bed, implying that Catherine was the killer all along.

[[Gary Goldman (screenwriter)|Gary Goldman]] was subsequently brought on board to rewrite the script four times at Verhoeven's suggestion. However, by the fourth draft, Verhoeven himself acknowledged that his proposals were "undramatic" and "really stupid". By the fifth and final draft, the script had returned to Eszterhas' original vision, with only minor tweaks to visuals and dialogue.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://catalog.afi.com/Film/59185-BASIC-INSTINCT?cxt=filmography|title=AFI Catalog of Feature Films: Basic Instinct|website=catalog.afi.com|access-date=December 28, 2019|archive-date=June 9, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190609021521/https://catalog.afi.com/Film/59185-BASIC-INSTINCT?cxt=filmography|url-status=live}}</ref> As a result, Joe Eszterhas received sole writing credit for the film.

In preparation for the car chase scene, Douglas drove up the steps on [[Kearny Street]] in San Francisco for four nights by himself.

The home of Stone's character, prominently featured in the film, is said to be in [[Stinson Beach, California]], just north of San Francisco. In reality, the scenes were shot at a mansion near [[Carmel-by-the-Sea, California|Carmel-by-the-Sea]], about {{convert|120|mi}} south of San Francisco.

The [[film score|musical score]] for ''Basic Instinct'' was composed by [[Jerry Goldsmith]] and earned him nominations for an [[Academy Award for Best Original Score|Academy Award]] and a [[Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score|Golden Globe Award]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.filmtracks.com/titles/basic_instinct.html|title=Filmtracks: Basic Instinct (Jerry Goldsmith)|website=Filmtracks.com|access-date=November 22, 2017|archive-date=November 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171122194439/http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/basic_instinct.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Goldsmith described the process as challenging, stating, "''Basic Instinct'' was probably the most difficult [score] I've ever done. It's a very convoluted story with very unorthodox characters. It's a murder mystery, but it isn't really a murder mystery. The director, Paul Verhoeven, had a very clear idea of how the woman should be, and I had a hard time getting it. Because of Paul pushing me, I think it's one of the best scores I've ever written. It was a true collaboration."<ref>Velez, Andy.

In terms of featured music, commercially released tracks played a minor role in the film. The club scene prominently features "Blue" by Chicago [[house music]] performer [[LaTour]] and "Rave the Rhythm" by the group Channel X, as well as "Movin' on Up" by [[Jeff Barry]] and [[Ja'Net DuBois]]. [[Chris Rea]]'s "[[Looking for the Summer]]" is heard during a scene between Douglas and his partner at Mac's Diner.

The film's official soundtrack was released on March 17, 1992. In 2004, Prometheus Records issued an expanded version of Goldsmith's score, which included previously omitted sections and alternative compositions for certain elements.

=== MPAA rating ===
''Basic Instinct'' is rated R for "strong violence and sensuality, and for drug use and language". Initially, the film was given an [[NC-17]] rating by the [[MPAA]] for "graphic depictions of extremely explicit violence, sexual content and strong language". However, under pressure from TriStar and Carolco, Verhoeven cut 35 to 40 seconds from the film to achieve an R rating.<ref name="nyt920315"/> Verhoeven described the changes in a March 1992 article in ''[[The New York Times]]'':{{cquote|Actually, I didn't have to cut many things, but I replaced things from different angles, made it a little more elliptical, a bit less direct.<ref name="nyt920315"/>}}  
The European theatrical release did not require these cuts. The uncut version was later released in the USA on home video.

=== Home media ===
Following its theatrical version, an unrated version of the film was released on video in 1992, running at 129 minutes. In 1997, a DVD release containing only the R-rated version was issued, followed by a "collector's edition" DVD release in 2001. This edition contained the uncut version of the film along with a commentary by [[Camille Paglia]] and a small ice pick (which was actually a pen), the villain's weapon of choice. This version, which runs 127 minutes, was subsequently re-released twice in 2003 and 2006, respectively.{{citation needed|date=April 2008}}

In March 2006, the unrated version, also known as the "director's cut", was re-released on DVD and labeled as the "ultimate edition". The film was released on Blu-ray in 2007 with the "director's cut" label.

The theatrical release of the film was cut by 35 to 40 seconds to avoid an NC-17 rating,<ref name="nyt920315"/> with some violence and sexually explicit content removed. The missing or censored material, later released on video and DVD as the director's cut, included:
* The murder of Johnny Boz in the opening scene. In the director's cut, the killer is seen stabbing him in his neck, in the chest and through his nose. In addition, the killer is still having violent sex with him while stabbing him at the same time.
* The scene where Nick has sex with Beth is cut in the US theatrical version, as he is seen ripping off her clothes and forcing her over the couch, before a cut to the two of them lying on the floor. In the uncut version, they are seen having rougher sex.
* The scene where Nick and Catherine have sex after going to the club is longer and much more explicit in the uncut version.

In 2021, [[StudioCanal UK|StudioCanal]] released a restored [[4K Ultra HD]] 'collector's edition' of the film on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download in the UK (June 14), Australia (July 7), and New Zealand (July 14).

=== Critical response ===
''Basic Instinct''{{'}}s critical reaction was mixed. On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film holds a score of 57% based on 74 reviews, with an average rating of 6.20/10 and the consensus that "Unevenly echoing the work of [[Alfred Hitchcock]], ''Basic Instinct'' contains a star-making performance from Sharon Stone, but is ultimately undone by its problematic, overly lurid plot."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/basic_instinct/ | title=Basic Instinct | work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] | date=March 20, 1992 | publisher=[[Fandango (company)|Fandango]] | access-date=October 15, 2022 | archive-date=August 30, 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170830115706/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/basic_instinct | url-status=live }}</ref> On [[Metacritic]] the film holds a score of 43 based on 28 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.metacritic.com/movie/basic-instinct | title=Basic Instinct | work=[[Metacritic]] | publisher=[[CBS Interactive]] | access-date=February 5, 2015 | archive-date=March 3, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150303212453/http://www.metacritic.com/movie/basic-instinct | url-status=live }}</ref> Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.<ref name="CinemaScore">{{cite web |url=https://www.cinemascore.com |title=CinemaScore |work=cinemascore.com |access-date=May 12, 2021 |archive-date=January 2, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180102130540/https://www.cinemascore.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[Janet Maslin]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' praised the film, saying "''Basic Instinct'' transfers Mr. Verhoeven's flair for action-oriented material to the realm of [[Hitchcockian]] intrigue, and the results are viscerally effective even when they don't make sense."<ref>{{cite news|first=Janet|last=Maslin|authorlink=Janet Maslin|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/20/movies/review-film-sure-she-may-be-mean-but-is-she-a-murderer.html|title=Review/Film; Sure, She May Be Mean, but Is She a Murderer?|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=March 20, 1992|accessdate=August 19, 2023}}</ref> [[Peter Travers]] of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' also praised the film, saying it was a guilty pleasure film; he also expressed admiration for Verhoeven's direction, saying his "cinematic wet dream delivers the goods, especially when Sharon Stone struts on with enough come-on carnality to singe the screen," and praised Stone's performance: "Stone, a former model, is a knockout; she even got a rise out of [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] in Verhoeven's ''[[Total Recall (1990 film)|Total Recall]]''. But being the bright spot in too many dull movies (''[[He Said, She Said (film)|He Said, She Said]]''; ''[[Irreconcilable Differences]]'') stalled her career. Though ''Basic Instinct'' establishes Stone as a bombshell for the Nineties, it also shows she can nail a laugh or shade an emotion with equal aplomb."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Peter|last=Travers|authorlink=Peter Travers|title=''Basic Instinct''|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/basic-instinct-19920320|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=March 20, 1992|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110628215638/http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/basic-instinct-19920320 |archive-date=June 28, 2011|accessdate=March 10, 2011}}</ref>

Australian critic Shannon J. Harvey of the ''[[Sunday Times]]'' called it one of the "1990s['] finest productions, doing more for female empowerment than any [[Feminism|feminist]] rally.

=== Controversy ===
The film generated controversy upon its release due to its explicit sexuality, violence against women, and its negative depiction of both a [[bisexual]] woman and [[homosexual]] relationships. In recent years, controversy over the film has become regenerated over Verhoeven's direction and the treatment of Stone and other women working on the film.

==== Initial ====
After the script was made available to [[gay rights]] activist groups in early 1991, concerns arose as to the film's depiction of homosexual relationships, and the portrayal of a bisexual woman as a murderous [[psychopath]]. Activists claimed that the film followed a pattern of negative depictions and stereotypes of homosexuals in film.<ref name="apr 91">{{cite news|first=David J.|last=Fox|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-04-29-ca-750-story.html|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=April 29, 1991|title=Gays Bashing 'Basic Instinct' : Movies: Activists take to the streets of San Francisco to battle a film they call offensive. The writer and director are considering script revisions.|accessdate=August 19, 2023}}</ref> While Eszterhas was open to addressing these concerns, Verhoeven, Douglas, and producer Alan Marshall rejected the changes, claiming that they "undermined" Eszterhas' script and "lessen the integrity of the picture."<ref name="Variety Marshall">{{Cite web |date=May 6, 1991 |title=Citizen's Arrests On 'Basic Instinct' Set |url=https://variety.com/1991/film/features/citizen-s-arrests-on-basic-instinct-set-99126395/ |access-date=May 7, 2023 |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]}}</ref> Upon resuming filming in San Francisco in late April 1991, [[LGBT movements|gay and lesbian rights activists]] and demonstrators attended,<ref>{{cite video | title = Basic Instinct (Making of, The) | publisher=[[20th Century Fox]] |year=2001}}</ref> and the [[San Francisco Police Department]]'s riot police were present at every location to manage the crowds. Protesters outside the filming locations held signs that said "Honk if you love the [[San Francisco 49ers|49ers]]" and "Honk if you love men." On April 29, Marshall ordered a [[citizen's arrest]] and personally identified each protester he wanted arrested. However, this did not result in any action by the local police department.<ref name=":0"/><ref name="apr 91"/><ref name="Variety Marshall"/>

Members of the lesbian and bisexual activist group LABIA protested against the film on its opening night. Others also picketed theatres to dissuade people from attending screenings, carrying signs saying "Kiss My Ice Pick", "Hollywood Promotes Anti-Gay Violence" and "Catherine Did It!"/"Save Your Money—The Bisexual Did It".<ref>{{cite book|last=Couvares|first=Francis G.|title=Movie Censorship and American Culture|isbn=978-1-55849-575-3|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D5R7NNAuH1AC&pg=PA298|edition=2nd|year=2006|publisher=[[University of Massachusetts Press]] |location=Amherst, Massachusetts |access-date=March 9, 2021|archive-date=April 16, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210416081336/https://books.google.com/books?id=D5R7NNAuH1AC&pg=PA298|url-status=live}}</ref> Verhoeven himself defended the groups' right to protest, but criticized the disruptions they caused, saying "[[Fascism]] is not in raising your voice; the fascism is in not accepting the no."<ref>{{cite book|last=Keesey|first=Douglas|year=2005|title=Paul Verhoeven|page=130|publisher=Taschen |isbn=978-3-8228-3101-4}}</ref>

Film critic [[Roger Ebert]] mentioned the controversy in his review, saying "As for the allegedly offensive homosexual characters: The movie's protesters might take note of the fact that this film's heterosexuals, starting with Douglas, are equally offensive. Still, there is a point to be made about Hollywood's unremitting insistence on typecasting homosexuals—particularly lesbians—as twisted and evil."<ref name="Ebert"/> [[Camille Paglia]] denounced gay activist and feminist protests against ''Basic Instinct'', and called Sharon Stone's performance "one of the great performances by a woman in screen history", praising her character as "a great vamp figure, like [[Mona Lisa]] herself, like a [[pagan]] goddess."<ref>{{cite book|first=Camille|last=Paglia|authorlink=Camille Paglia|title=Vamps & Tramps: New Essays|publisher=[[Vintage Books]]|location=New York City|date=1994|page=489|isbn=978-0679751205}}</ref>

Women's rights groups also protested the film over its negative depiction of women and a brutal rape scene, with a branch of The [[National Organization for Women]] calling the film "the most blatantly misogynistic film in recent memory." Its Los Angeles branch president at the time claimed the movie sent a message "that women like violence, women like to be used, women like to be raped."<ref name="coalition">{{Cite web |last1=Harris |first1=Scott |last2=Corwin |first2=Miles |date=March 21, 1992 |title=Opposition to Film 'Basic Instinct' Rises : Entertainment: A coalition of women's and gay rights activists fears the movie's depiction of bisexuals and lesbians will result in increased violence against women. |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-03-21-me-3817-story.html |access-date=May 7, 2023 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> The film was also criticized for glamorizing cigarette smoking.

Since the release of the film, Stone has alleged multiple times that a scene in which her [[vulva]] was exposed as she crossed her legs was filmed without her knowledge.<ref name="Basic Instinct 2006">"A Conversation with Sharon Stone" from the ''Basic Instinct'': Ultimate Edition DVD (Lions Gate Home Entertainment, 2006).</ref> Stone later said she was told that her lack of underwear would only be alluded to and not shown.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N3P20iv2uI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/9N3P20iv2uI| archive-date=December 12, 2021 |url-status=live| title=Sharon Stone talking about BI| via=YouTube| date=September 12, 2014| access-date=January 30, 2018}}{{cbignore}}</ref> She had been wearing white underwear until Verhoeven said they reflected light on the camera lens and asked her to remove them, assuring her that only a shadow would be visible. Stone stated that it was not until she saw the film in a screening room with a [[test audience]] that she became aware of the visible nudity, leading her to slap Verhoeven in the face and leave the screening.<ref name="Basic Instinct 2006"/> In her 2021 memoir, Stone alleged once again that she was misled by Verhoeven with regard to the circumstance of the filming of the scene, even though she ultimately did not seek an injunction against it.<ref>{{Cite news|first=Toyin |last=Owoseje|title=Sharon Stone says she was misled about explicit scene in 'Basic Instinct'|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/entertainment/sharon-stone-basic-instinct-intl-scli/index.html|access-date=March 20, 2021|agency=CNN|date=March 19, 2021 |archive-date=March 20, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210320023423/https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/entertainment/sharon-stone-basic-instinct-intl-scli/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Verhoeven responded that it was "impossible" and "she knew exactly what we were doing."
