New York Minute Tidbits

Here's some inside info about New York Minute!

  • Contrary to what Star Magazine said, the girl's stunt doubles are NOT guys, they are women! Trust me, I've seen them up close in person.
  • The crew usually called Mary-Kate "MK".
  • Mary-Kate has a black Chinese symbol tattoo on her lower left back. I don't know if it's real or not... I'd thought it was for the movie, but I don't remember ever seeing it on screen, so I'm wondering if it's an actual tattoo she has.
  • On the call sheet (the paper that tells the cast and crew when they should be on set and what will be filming that day), the only time Mary-Kate and Ashley are mentioned by name is as producers - under 'cast' they are referred to as "R. Ryan" and "J. Ryan" for security purposes.
  • There are two different dogs that play Reneildo - their names are Chrissy and Gala.
  • Mary-Kate's stand-in was named Kim, Ashley's was Sarah.
  • The girls don't spend a lot of time on set - their stand-ins do the rehearsals for them, then MK and Ash are brought in to shoot the scene, and then they leave again.
  • When the cameras weren't rolling, both girls would throw on a hoodie and boots so they were more comfortable.
  • Mary-Kate has a habit of twirling her hair with her finger.
  • Mary-Kate had just finished reading the play Amadeus by Peter Shaffer while on set.
  • The girls do most of their own stunts - the stunt doubles would go through the motions once or twice to make sure it was safe and to help get the camera in the right position, then Mary-Kate and Ashley would come in a do the stunt themselves.
