No evidence has been found that such a person even exists but the name is very similar to Catherine Tramell’s boyfriend named Manny Vasquez. Luka also tried setting up an alibi months earlier by telling his mom that the cat killing videos were staged and that he was blackmailed by a man named Manny Lopez into doing them. While in Paris, he used the pseudonym “Kirk Tramell”, an homage to Sharon Stone’s character Catherine Tramell. Luka used it as an opportunity to place a Casablanca poster where the window is supposed to be to hint at where he was fleeing to - Paris. The scene also had a stained glass window in the backdrop. He framed the video of the murder similarly to the murder in the movie with the victim tied to the bed, the killer being on top of the victim (cowgirl position), and even painted a screwdriver to look like the ice pick used in the movie.

When he finally moved on to killing a person (Jun Lin), he recorded video of himself committing the act while framing his shots similarly to Basic Instinct. He killed animals (a classic telltale sign of a would-be murderer) and made occasional homages to films. If you don’t care about spoilers though.īasically, Luka Magnotta has a fascination with serial killers and films. 'There was a time when all I was, was a joke,' said the actress, who went onto star in the sequel, Basic Instinct 2, which flopped at the box office.You should really watch it. Stone then encouraged the audience members to recreate the scene for themselves, before adding how she was once ridiculed for that moment of cinematic history. I didn't know this moment would change my life,' she added. 'Some years ago I was sitting on a sound stage, and my director said, 'Can you hand me your underpants because we're seeing them in the scene and you shouldn't have underpants on but we won't see anything,' Stone said.

This time around, however, she kept her dignity and didn't flash the audience. Smiling cheekily, she then re-enacted that scene from the movie, which also starred Michael Douglas. Wearing a shimmery black dress, she made her way to a chair on the stage and gave her acceptance speech.
